Answer
Yes—Assateague Island National Seashore and related Maryland facilities offer drive-in camping a short drive south of Ocean City, separate from hotel beach weeks. Reservations are competitive for summer weekends and require NPS or Maryland Park Service systems—not Ocean City Town hall. Many visitors split a hotel week with two nights on the island for horses and dark-sky stars.
