We didn't realize Assateague Island was so long. It goes north to the Ocean City inlet and the state and national parks are only 4 miles south of the campground. Both parks have very large campgrounds along the ocean and bay and even have walk in tent camping. There are no utilities at the sit

We are camping at Frontier Town, a very nice and large campground a few miles south of Ocean City and right on the bay. It is very nice with an attached Old West theme park and water park. Plenty to do for the kiddies and the child in the adult. The season doesn't start until next weekend so

Tom's Cove was a little pricey for no cable TV or WiFi so we moved north about 60 miles to Ocean City. We drove into the city and it was quite crowded but we did walk on the beach a bit but then left the island to tour the area. We did drive through Berlin and found it a very nice and quaint li

We have reservation for the Cedar Island - Ocracoke ferry for Saturday morning so we wanted to get as close as we could. We drove by Camp Lejeune, Cape Fear and out on the peninsula to Cedar Island. We are staying in the Cedar Creek Campground and Marina in the town of Sea Level about 15 miles
