This was a very nice place to camp. There is no electric, water or sewer. You are there basically for the atmosphere, which is great. The mosquitoes are really bad at the beginning of the night but usually go away by 9pm. We ended up making a fire and were not bothered at all by the bugs. The beach is very deserted because the sites are spaced far away from each other. So when we sat on the beach we were the only ones out there. The horses even came and joined us on the beach. At night you can hear them walking past your camper. I would defiantly stay here again. They fill up fast so you need to book early. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Fantastic place to camp, and commune with nature and all its beauty. We loved the presence of the beautiful wild ponies and sitka deer. It's terrific, too, if you're a bird watcher. Best of all for me was the beautiful beach. Love, love the ocean. We've already made reservations for this upcoming season again. It's a special place to be cherished, and hope it will always remain accessible for those who love the simplicity and beauty if offers. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We camped during a Noreaster which made it quite exciting. The waves were huge but fishing was out of the question. Great beach combing though during high tide. This place is great for self contained units as rest room and shower facilities are primitive. Especially if you have kids. A bike riders paradise and great trails to hike. A great place for viewing wildlife also. Did not see many ponies due to the weather , but a lot of deer. Open year round. If you want to camp on one of the best beaches on the east coast , than tis place is for you. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We actually stayed in the Maryland State Park just up the road but took a bike ride through the National Park. As others have said it is rustic camping at its best. No hookups, vegetation was a bit overgrown (because its nature!) but the BUGS! In the 25 minutes we rode through the park, we were eaten alive by green heads and mosquitos. My wife and kids had sprayed themselves heavily with Deep Woods Off and it had no affect. I counted 25 mosquito bites on me. Also the bathrooms looked like port-a-potties. The State Park apparently sprays and keeps the vegetation in the camping area somewhat controlled. Also the State Park has bath houses. I think I only had 1 mosquito bite all week in the State Park. As others have said - it is beautiful in both parks, but to us the State Park is so much nicer considering bugs. I don't know how anyone could sit outside at night there. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Camping loops are right off the ocean, not 500' from the surf. Although they have a limited number of electric sites, we had no services. Park is quite interesting with wild horses and deer wandering all over. Many families. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

As a previous review stated, this is what camping is all about. There are no extras here, but the beauty of this spot makes up for it. Ocean front although a view is obstructed by dunes. The beach access is a very short walk away. There is a boat house. However, during our visit, it was closed. This is a great place to unplug. Bike paths are level and expansive. There is access to both the bay and the ocean. Restaurants and shopping are just a short drive to Ocean City. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Beautiful. Wild ponies, beach, sun...what more do you want? We camped here in a Tent.

The campground is spartan, and the area is quite buggy, but everything is clean, and the beach is great. Make sure you bring DEET with you. The mosquitoes killed us while we were there. A very quiet campground! We camped here in a Motorhome.

We usually go here early or late in the season. The heat and insects in the summer are just a bit much! But when we go it is truly heaven. (to be sure bring insect repellant each time you come!!) We bring our bicycles and walking shoes. The ponies and other wildlife are abundant. Such joy to see the ponies but keep your lunch in the RV. I have seen ponies helping themselves!! And you do not interfere!! It's their home! Nothing more beautiful than sunrie and sunset on Asseteague Island!! You have to buy a 7 day pass for the park in addition to your camp fee. The pass is about $10 if I remember correctly. We camped here in a Motorhome.

To me this is what owning an RV is about- camping in Assateague is for people who really enjoy the great outdoors and who do need hookups or planned activities. I wish there where more places like this to go to. We stayed in the Ocean side camp sites in really bad weather in April and still had a good time. Sites where large with plenty of room between sites. We will be back!!!!!! We camped here in a Motorhome.

This campground is in a great location! Close to OC and Assateague. Our trailer site was spacious and we did not feel crowded. The only problem we had was the horrible water. Apparently they had recently redone the water lines in the campground and there was particles in the water that made us run out and buy bottled water. When we got home and changed the water filter it was full of iron deposits. Some of the tent sites were in an un-shaded area which looked awfully hot to us. You can see the ponies on Assateague from the beach of this campground. Will be going back next year. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Arrived at a fairly slow time in the summer season. Apparently, the park is under new management, and I have heard they are attempting to rehab the entire area. We shall see, it needs it in some areas. Check-in was easy, but they didn't take Discover Card, so it has to be Visa or Mastercard for payment, or cash. They charge extra if you have your A/C in your motorhome, which is ridiculous. I was fairly apprehensive about staying here. After paying for our deposit *which we would have forfeited if we cancelled* I saw the numerous bad reviews here. I didn't know what to expect and held my breath all the way to Maryland. It was a pleasant surprise, with only a few things to detract from a higher rating. First of all, they had some kind of crazy scheme where in order to use the pool or the beach, you had to wear a plastic/paper, non-removable band on your wrist. Great for a day in the museum, but lousy idea when you are staying for a week. Fortunately, they didn't enforce this rule, so the wristbands stayed put away. The sites (for motorhomes and travel trailers) were wide and well groomed. Plenty of space for a car. Nice to stay where you didn't feel like you were in your neighbor's lap. Nice amount of landscaping and trees. We paid for a bayside unit, and had a good view of the dock and bay, less than 100 feet away. The bay is perfect for kids, no waves and shallow. Crabbing was fun but fishing was an exercise in futility..not the campgrounds fault though. Pool was small, and we never used it due to it closing at 6pm. Only have 30 amp hookups from what I could tell, which is marginal for big rigs, forget running two a/c's in your big rig. Some campsites electricity are protected by fuses instead of circuit breakers. I was lucky. When the circuit breaker blew I just reset it. I was party to a controversy where another camper was complaining about them charging him to replace a fuse. 50 amp is the way to go, hopefully Eagle's nest upgrades soon. The TV cable was broken, and was not fixed despite a well-meaning attempt by the front office. I fixed a shoddy repair myself by bypassing it. It helps to be handy. Beach is small but nice. Dock is similarly small but in decent repair. Camp store has a lot of empty shelf space and sells very little food. Count on nearby grocery stores (5 minutes out) to stock up your shelves. The have the usual high markup on most items. The arcade needs upgrading soon. Old wood paneling and old asphalt tile with vintage air hockey and two pool tables. The video games are nowhere near state of the art, being about 20 years old in some cases. They work, but your kids won't be excited by them. Laundry facilities were acceptable, but a large percentage of the appliances were out of order. Cost 1.75 for a wash and 1.75 for a dry. That is reasonable, I thought. We normally stay in Frontier Town (about 3 miles away) but could not get in. This place was not in the same league, facility-wise, but I felt compared favorably in other areas. Frontier Town is much bigger, with ameneties like a water park and a cowboy theme park.. but Eagle's Nest was much quieter, with larger campsites (for Rv's anyway) and had the beach which FT did not. Definitely a toss up for me, anyway. I will be interested to see if they upgrade any of the utilities and buildings in the next year. I would stay here again, all things considered. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The worst campsite ever. Our campsite was literally on the side of the road, where cars drove past at over 35 mph and glaring headlights into your campsite and tent. Bathrooms were disgusting becuase they were cleaned maybe daily (you would think more often on memorial day weekend since it is a very busy weekend). Water for the showers was ICE cold and when you complained to management, they told each person a different story. It was either they didn't know that water was cold since no one complained, or they were working on it but were short-staffed on maintenance crew. We had 5 kids under the age of 8 that could not be bathed becuase the water was ice cold. The manager was very rude as well. This was our first and LAST trip there. We camped here in a Tent.

The meanest treatment we have ever received at a campground happened here. We used to spend a week at Eagles Nest each spring, before the season started. While the park was never crowded, we had always reserved one particular campsite which suited our needs and tastes the best. Last trip there, when I phoned to reserve it, the manager told me not only that he would not take a reservation out-of-season, but that if someone came before me and requested a campsite, he'd be sure to give them our favorite. I shrugged it off until we arrived there and found he'd done just that: there was one RV in that entire section of the park and it was on our preferred site. We didn't even bother to stop in the office and ask why. No way of knowing whether this person was the owner or a hired manager, but for certain we will never again stay at Eagle's Nest, nor have a good word to say about them. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Their was no privacy at all because everyone was right next to each other. We had a leaking pavilion and we reported it to the manager and they did not seem to care. The bathrooms and showers were always dirty and it seemed like they never cleaned them. We will never stay there again. We camped here in a Tent.
