Eastern Shore Camping

Hey everyone we are looking for a place to go for a long weekend a little closer to home.(Pittsburgh) We always camp every year in Myrtle Beach for 2 weeks and are looking for a place further north that's on the shore just like the campgrounds are in Myrtle. I have searched a bit but came up with nothing so far. Are there any places in Maryland or Deleware that are on the shore like in Myrtle? I know Ocean City has 2 campgrounds but they really aren't ON the shore like we would prefer. Suggestions would be great!!! Thanks in advance everyone.

Ps We are still doing the Myrtle thing this year too just looking for another trip to take :)

    Google Maps gives a good view of Delaware Seashore State Park. The problem is finding availability during the summer. It can be difficult.

    Camp Hatteras RV Resort in Rodante, NC, is on the narrowest part of the Outer Banks. One side of the CG is on the ocean, the other side is on the Pamlico sound. You can watch a Surise and a Sunset over the water from the same spot.

    While its not the honky-tonk, night life, board walk place like Mytrle Beach, it does have some interesting thing to do and see.

    Look at Kiptopeke and Cherrystone in VA a little lower on the shore. Cherrystone has some sites close to the water.

    Delaware Seashore State Park is between Rehoboth Beach, DE and Ocean City, MD. You walk under a bridge to get to a beach on the Atlantic Ocean (not a bay) and it has full hook-ups. We stayed there last week and plan on going back in early fall. The only downer was the lack of shade.

    If you can do without hookups, Assateague Island National Seashore just south of Ocean City has camping loops just over the dune from the beach.

    Assateague State Park is adjacent and has a loop with electric hookups.
