Camping On The Coast | Delaware, MD

As the pandemic continues, more and more people are escaping the city for a life in the suburbs. Also driving this trend is the desire for less density, affordable housing and proximity to open spaces and recreational opportunities. And when living at the beach, the great outdoors is always calling. One of the best ways to take advantage of Maryland’s Eastern Shore is to check out some of the nearby campsites. Whether you have an RV or tent, or want to reserve a cabin, there are plenty of ways to enjoy the local scenery. Check out some of these favorite attractions.

Assateague State Park: As Maryland’s only oceanfront park, Assateague State Park is a popular go-to place for campers. Located on two miles of barrier island, just about every campsite has pristine views of nature. Enjoy swimming, sunbathing, surfing or fishing, or explore the nearby coves by canoe or kayak. Be sure to reserve your RV or tent spot on the park’s website. 

Assateague Island National Seashore: While Assateague State Park is managed by Maryland Park Service, neighboring Assateague Island National Seashore is an operation of the National Park Service. Oceanside and bayside campsites are available for tents, trailers and recreational vehicles, as well as horse camps and backcountry sites for backpackers. Reservations are required from March 15 through November 15. 

Pocomoke River State Park: Pocomoke River State Park, located on the southern end of Maryland’s Eastern Shore, is known for its cypress swamps and serene riverscapes.
