Assateague Camping Basics · Ocean City, Maryland

What is the difference between NPS and Maryland state park camping near Assateague?

Answer

Assateague Island National Seashore and Maryland Park Service units use different reservation systems, fee schedules, and amenity levels—confirm which property your site code references. Ocean City visitors most often book NPS oceanside or bayside loops on the Maryland district. Virginia district camping is a separate geography entirely.
