This park is built on a swamp marsh. The mosquitoes will eat you alive. We were unable to sit outside without covering in Deet spray. We literally had to run from our car to our motorhome when site seeing. There are not many transient sites available during the pony swim and they make you pay for 4 days in advance. We were put in the tent section with a "weak" 30 amp service. I don't know why anyone would want a permanent site at this park. The only reason we stayed here was because the more popular Toms Cove park was booked. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Bath houses were closed. Lots of messy looking seasonals in the front of the campground. Roadways were narrow. You can drive though but it is difficult to pull out of the pull through due to the decks that the seasonals put in. Ground is grass and sandy dirt. Not a bad location but it is just a place to stay to go to the National Refuge not a destination park. I find it hard to believe people would seek to have a seasonal site. Also drove through Toms Cove and it is similar though the sites were shorter. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a very nice park. They do not take credit cards. It is very close to the wildlife refuge. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Camped here Columbus Day weekend with our five children. Easy to bike to and from Assateague Island. Has a nice camp store. Bathrooms were pretty nice, showers small, but lots of space to keep clothes dry. Plenty of animals to feed, the kids loved it!! Only thing is some of the animals (not many) are located in back by a maintenance area with alot of equipment etc. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We have stayed at Pine Grove many, many times. Heavily treed although the sites are not secluded, but they are large. Lots of animals and lots of quiet in the off-season. I hate to see them close for the 'winter'. Just in the process of opening a large new tent area. We camped here in a Truck Camper.

This park is located on Chincoteague Island. We have stayed here twice and just love the place. It is very quiet and shady. The owner has created a private waterfowl and animal reserve which includes all kinds of ducks, swans, peacocks, ostriches (or something similar), ponies, llamas, and deer. There are two small ponds for the ducks and you can buy feed in the store. The ponds are full of barrumphhing bullfrogs which really get going at night, much to our amusement. The restrooms/showers are pretty basic but clean. If I owned the place I would paint the showers and improve the lighting; with all the shade they are somewhat dingy. They have a great well-maintained pool and of course Assateague Island beaches are just a short drive away. There are laundry facilities also. The owner is always out working in the park, so it is actively maintained. I gave this an "8" because I think the restrooms could use some work, but it is likely that the owner just hasn't gotten to them yet. We didn't use them as we had a sewer site and used the facilities in our trailer. Bring plenty of mosquito spray; the owner has the campground sprayed daily during the summer months, but this IS Chincoteague, where the 'skeeters will eat you alive if you're not prepared. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

My family (which consist of 10 travel trailers) has visited every year for the last 7 years for the pony penning event. This trip was terrible. It rained almost the entire week (that wasn't the problem) with that all the sewers over flooded on all the camp sites. Needless to say we had to walk through nasty water to get in and out of our campers. My child contracted an illness from the contaminated water getting in a wound he had on his leg. We asked the owner to call a septic company to drain the tanks and he refused. We figured Tom's Cove brings in an average of over $100,000.00 this week alone. Over 500 camp sites and being packed full. You would think they would put some $$ into the camp ground to keep it nice but instead they put in in there pockets. Honestly I don't see any improvements in the last years we have camped here, looks like they just make it and keep it. I would recommend anybody interested in staying here to check the weather before going. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Our group of 5 families spent 5 days/4 nights at Tom's Cove and a great time was had by everyone. All of us had nice, wide pull-through sites with a partially obstructed water view. Most of us had nice shade trees and did not have to use our awnings. They don't have planned activities for the kids but the pool and clubhouse were nice. The park is very large and it's nice that the better sites are kept for the transient campers and not the permanent residents. It's a great place to ride your bike and you can even ride them into town and onto Assateague Island if you want. The mosquitoes can be bad at times but that's to be expected on an island surrounded by salt marshes. I would give this campground a higher rating if they offered cable at all of the sites and WiFi. It would also be nice if they paved the roads...the gravel can be dusty. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Park was OK, loved the whole island. They had sewage and water problems. Some sites where not trailer friendly. Cable sites where limited. Roads all gravel, really dusty. Did like that you could ride a scooter all over the island. Locals really nice. Liked everything overall. Be nice when the bridge work is complete. Don't know if we will go back. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
