![]() We saw only a few horses around the bridge area and a few other people out biking and running. It was actually 4 miles each way so we decided to make that our long run of the weekend. I had originally thought the route was 3 miles to the bridge and 3 miles back. I woke Cheryl up around 8am and we had coffee and half a bagel. I think I was dehydrated so I had a lot of water. I was very hungover when I got up around 7:30am. The bridge to the island had a cool running/biking path and all the roads had a path as well. The next morning Cheryl and I had planned to go for a run. Luckily when I have been drinking and I am tired I sleep like a rock so I didn’t hear anyone come into the tent. I got exhausted around 1am and headed to bed. We stayed down there until around 12 or 1 and then headed back to get some rest. Everyone staying with us on our campsite decided to stay up for a little. No one bothered us! We had music playing, a dance party in the water, beers and a campfire. There were no campsites down there so we figured we might be fine. Once 10pm rolled around we decided to pack up some coolers and walk over to the bay area on the end of the campground. We had all read online (and saw signs) about quiet hours from 10pm-9am. ![]() I really have not been able to handle shots the past few years so I sipped at it for a little, but then passed it off to my friend’s boyfriend to finish. One of the guys, Ryan, decided to make us all shots. ![]() Cheryl brought her bluetooth radio so we listened to music too. We had beers and made smokes by the campfire. At this point it was around 8 and getting dark. Our other friends got there a little after we were done eating so we helped them unload and set up. They built a bonfire and we had burgers for dinner. After that we all moved over to our friend’s campsite because they were the most secluded and we didn’t want to annoy the people around us. That took a little longer than expected because I never set it up over something before. We set up our tent and our dining net over the picnic table. They pretty much just wander around, but there are signs everywhere not to get close because they will kick/bite. We saw horses as soon as we got to our campsite and all along the road coming in. We booked next to where our friends had already booked in the bay, but in the future I would definitely love to camp right on the beach! Now you can also camp in 2 different areas, the bay and the ocean. We paid at the toll booth ($15 for a 7 day pass) then checked in at the ranger station for our campsite. We got to the Verrrazano Bridge (no, not the NY one) around 6pm. My GPS originally had me going to the Virginia side, but luckily we figured it out before we went off course. You can only camp on the Maryland side, but you can go to the beach on the Virginia side if you want. We hit a lot of traffic on the NJ Turnpike (construction is close to done though) and when we got into Deleware.Īssateague Island is actually located in 2 states. ![]() My parents camped a lot when they were younger and their stuff is still in great condition so we brought it along with us. We had A LOT of stuff so luckily it was just the two of us in the car. You can have 6 people, 2 tents and 2 cars at each campsite.Ĭheryl and I worked from home on Friday so that we could leave as soon as we were done with work. Cheryl and I decided camping at the beach with wild horses sounded awesome! We booked a campsite next to theirs and invited a few of our college friends to come with us. My friend Cindy had mentioned her and some of her college friends (and their friends) had booked 3 campsites on the bay. You can camp at the State Park or the National Seashore. We had booked the campsites months ago because we knew they filled up fast. So this past weekend I went camping with friends at Assateague Island National Seashore in Berlin, Maryland. ![]()
