Answer
Most campgrounds serving Ocean City, Maryland sit on the mainland—commonly a 10–25 minute drive to the beach or Boardwalk when Route 50 and Coastal Highway are moving, and much longer on summer Saturdays, Air Show days, and fireworks nights.
West Ocean City and Route 611 / Assateague-corridor parks trade steps-to-sand for larger pads and quieter nights. Budget parking or bus time once you cross onto the island.
Map your specific park on Camping and skim Getting here for bridge timing.
