Chincoteague island campgrounds

Question

I am planning a trip to Chincoteague this summer with my family, my trailer is 37' slide outs on both sides, my parents will be coming too in a 30' trailer.

We are looking at either Toms Cove CG, or Maddox Family CG.

For those who have gone, is one better then the other?

Thank you.

We have stayed at both. We like Maddox because its easier to ride your bike out onto island. Overall nicer CG. If your going for the pony swim I think Tom's is better, never been there for that so not sure.

We like Tom's Cove. It is right on the water and the Light House makes a beautiful backdrop. They also have a pool and a store along with 3 fishing piers.

Stayed at Tom's Cove for the pony swim.  Before the swim, we took our chairs and set them up on the street where they parade the ponies.  Went back and got a spot on the dock and watched them swim the ponies over.  Then went back out to watch the parade.

The seasonal creep at Maddox has been like a glacier. Can't blame the owners, steady money wins every time, but fewer and fewer "camp" sites left.
I would caution that the lovely pines are everywhere and can be in the wrong place for slide use in many of the sites.
