Camping & RV · Ocean City, Maryland

Are pets allowed at campgrounds near Ocean City, Maryland?

Answer

Many campgrounds near Ocean City, Maryland allow leashed pets with breed, count, or fee limits—policies are not universal. Assateague camping adds stricter wildlife and food-storage rules.

Never leave pets in hot RVs or cars. Peak summer Ocean City ocean beaches also restrict dogs by season, so a pet-friendly campsite does not equal all-day beach access.

Cross-check park rules, the Pets FAQ, and dog beach rules before you book.
