Dahkota, we haven't done Assateague yet. I'd like to try but a couple of our friends told my husband how bad the biting flies were so I haven't brought it up again. Maybe they wouldn't be as bad in the shoulder seasons?
I don't go there during the summer - that is probably when they are talking about. We had no biting flies in April, May, September, or October when were there. Honestly,our favorite time is January through March on the bay side. You can get a site right on the water and the campground is empty. Second favorite time is October. Great temps and much less crowded. April, May, and September are great weather wise, but the crowds get big and loud.
Of course, we greatly prefer to camp where others aren't, which is why we dry camp off season. I think going to Assateague during the summer would drive me up a wall.
