Answer
Peak-summer camping near Ocean City, Maryland means reserve early, arrive before midday Saturday, and treat Coastal Highway as a logistics project. Bridge backups and Boardwalk parking eat hours you planned for the beach.
Park once when you can, hydrate between sand and campsite heat, and keep an indoor backup for thunder delays. Heat sends more visitors to urgent care than missing a single attraction.
Use Camping, Transportation, and Beach Weather the week you travel.
