Beachfront Camping

We enjoyed Assateague National Park Bayside Loop.The bugs wern't around when we were there.We had a great site and had direct access to the bay.We took along our Honda generator to keep the batteries charged and to use the microwave.If you read the rules,the horses won't be a problem.Many people don't read them.There is another State Park south of Assateague called Kiptopeke State Park.It has full hookups and cable.You can easily walk to the beach from there.It is on the tip of the DelMarVa Pinninsula about a mile north of the Chesepeke bay Bridge Tunnel.The beach is on the bay but with the ocean so close you do get some wave action.Then there is Cape Hatteras national Park.I believe there are 4 campgrounds.None of them have hookups.Frisco is the nicest of the 4 IMO. There are also some private campgrounds with hookups on the beach too.There is alot to do on Cape Hatteras.The Wright Brothers memorial,Life Saving Stations,The Lost Colony,Light Houses etc.We also enjoyed statying at Maddox campground in Chincoteague.It isn't within a 1/4 mile of the beach,but it is about a 1/4 mile to the entrance of the National Wildlife Refuge.If you have bikes ( or rent them)you can bycicle to the NWR and they have paved trails to ride your bike and see the ponies.They also have a very nice wide beach.Chincoteague is a great old shore town with nice restaurants,2 great ice cream shops and an old movie theater or Wallops Island ( NASA)visitor center you can visit if it rains.
