We visited the area in mid-September and found this park. It was super chill, with a couple…read morecoming out of the water in kayaks and two or three people fishing (apparently you don't need a fishing license here). It is a very nice waterside park with a large playground area for kids, a covered picnic area and of course the area with a walkway along the water with a few covered gazebo areas. There is substantial parking and lots of places to sit. We did not use the restroom facilities but nice to know they are there.

The boardwalk is best suited for picnicking and a short walk. The bigger attraction is of course the beaches and horses one island over, but some time spent here is not amiss. The area does have some dedicated parking that is kind of hidden from the main street.

We had a great time camping there. Sorry no pics. We did the Amish 62 mile bike ride and decided to…read morecamp and I was exhausted. It's a smaller State park and slightly confusing with the direction's but the staff was helpful just get a map. We camped in a "walk back" section of E. Very spacious sites with the bathroom/shower reasonably close. Parking was "ok"..... but they fill up and then you have to use overflow. The bathrooms/showers were clean BUT I guess I'm used to sites that spray repellent because nature is boss. We drove through the comfort sites of D and they were too tight for my liking. They have yurts and cabins but for me a tad too close. They do have an Island camp site Loved it!!!!! That's a must do. It's 2 sites across a short walking bridge with water view and access. I would definitely go back.

One thing I don't understand is why the Park Maintenance people don't cut the Wisteria growth on the trees? Some trees have vines over two inches in diameter. This stuff will choke a tree to death over time! Great walk ... very pretty sights. Fall colors will make it a much nicer walk!

I have stayed at this State Park twice, once during the Spring and once during the fall. Each time,…read moreI've had nothing but a pleasant and restful time. I have stayed in the Heron and Deer Run camp loops and have nothing to complain about. The camp store where I registered my group went smoothly and the staff was friendly and comprehensive in ensuring we knew the rules and information about the park. The camp store also sells their local wood bags for $6.00. I highly recommend buying ice cream as they scoop generously at a reasonable price. Their late check-in process is simple as well as they'll have your car placard outside for you to grab with your name on it if you reserved it online ahead of time. There's plenty of things to do around if you know what to look for! If you're camping during the summer, you can enjoy a kayak or canoe rental near the camp store. You can also visit the nature center, walk the trails around, or go fishing - plenty of things to do! All in all, I would return - but would try out water's edge loop. I didn't realize it was so close to the Camp Store's showers and toilets. Highly recommend this place!

The drive down from Delaware took about an hour and twenty minutes. Our day unfolded in a few memorable steps: Welcome Center: We made our first stop here to pick up a local map and gather helpful instructions. The Beach: Next, we headed to the expansive beach, which was bustling with numerous beachgoers and vehicles. Wild Pony Sighting: On our drive back, we were lucky enough to spot some of the famous wild ponies along the way. Downtown Lunch: Finally, we headed downtown to grab lunch together.

Jane's Island seems to be known primarily for the camping possibilities. The camping sites, both for tents and cabins, are pretty full during the season. Has a loyal following. Reserve early. Also, fishing is all the rage here. I saw many people fishing from the banks of the water and from kayaks, etc. However, biking possibilities are only average. Hiking is about the same. Crisfield gets a fair number of storms, had a bunch during our visit, and it can affect the grounds, but the area dries out pretty quickly.

Great state park! Camping here is fun! The loops at the top of the park are more spacious and…read moresometimes more private. The ones in H loop are really squeezed in and have less space and no privacy. It's hard to book a site, and so frustrating to see empty sites that have been booked but not used. The bathrooms are some of the cleanest camping bathrooms I've ever seen. They're pretty well maintained. The horses do wander free, and you need to be careful with food on your site, as explained by the park rangers. But it's fun to see them and watch them. The camp hosts are good about cleaning and maintaining the area they're each in charge of. The beaches are nice and it's fun to go clamming out in the bay. A very quick drive will take you to Ocean City, to the boardwalk, to go karts, Walmart, Wawa, the movie theater, etc. Lots close by to do if you get caught there on a rainy day. Lovely place to visit.

Assateague is so cool!... Particularly on a breezy day when the flies can't takeoff…read more During a trip to Ocean City, we visited Assateague on the Maryland end. I was so eager to see the horses I heard about, but weary we might not see any. Maybe we were lucky, because we saw sooo many horses! On the road, in the parking lots, in marshes, wandering, grazing, standing on front of cars. So cute! Stop at the visitors center first. Very nice place, helpful information, exhibits, a touch tank, bathrooms, gift shop and then you'll be on your way. Admission per vehicle gets you access for a week. We loved spending a few hours here so much that we came back a second day. The beaches are clean and not crowded. Lots of dogs, so be warned if you're averse. The marsh trail was really cool. We saw several small fishies, pipefish, crabs, egrets, just really cool to look in the water throughout the trail and observe. Bayside beaches are hidden spots for isolated swims. I saw a family here and there just swimming completely alone. The forest trail was also a good one to walk. More interesting nature. We weren't too crazy about the dune trail. Although, it was interesting to see the old abandoned road in the middle of the dune. Horses here there and everywhere, almost. Overall, such a fun place to visit. Go for a few hours or spend the day. Remember, ensure it's breezy and you'll be almost completely fly free.

Beautiful scenery and beautifully maintained. Lots of parking at the lots at north and south beach…read more Wild horses roam the shoreline freely. Before coming I read that there's a better chance of seeing the horses in the morning, but we were fortunate to see them throughout the day. Horses have the right of way so you have to drive slowly and safely and constantly look out for horses to not disturb or hurt them. The horses are wild so you do have to stay a safe distance away from them, but it was an amazing experience seeing them throughout the shoreline. Beaches are clean, well-maintained and dog-friendly year round bathrooms are what you would expect on a campground so no surprise there, but it wasn't disgusting.

But we came back in the afternoon and drove to the end and loved it. There was this serene feeling driving through seeing the horses, birds, and wildlife. It's a $10 fee if you go during operating hours. There are several trails, places to pull over for pics, and the beach back here. The marsh is so pretty. It was a beautiful sunset and just a vibe for me and my family. We ooooohh'd and ahhh'd the whole drive. I liked that we went later in the afternoon because it wasn't as crowded and parking was easy to find. The beach is literally just steps away from the parking lot. The beach is pretty big. It's wide open, no houses or buildings, just beautiful water and brown sand!!! I had a fantastic time. I highly recommend this if you visit the area. If you drive past the McDonald's and keep driving until the end, it's a straight shot. Definitely check this place out!!!

On Sundays, they have a live band, ice cream for purchase, a playground, pond, and lots of open grass for family and friends to enjoy. Everyone's favorite part is the Sunday fireworks show. The show is great! We will continue to add this park to our Sunday fun day while in Ocean City.
