This campground has the standard KOA amenities, including nice clean laundry facilities and a well stocked store. A small playground is located next to the jumping pad, which was popular with the kids. It's a 10 minute drive to Assateague Beach, which was the primary reason we chose this location. The beach is very nice and of course you can see the horses as you drive in.

The NASA Wallops Flight Facility is nearby, and worth a look. We happened to be staying at the campground at the same time as one of the rocket launches, which you could see from the boat dock of the campground. It was awesome. Perfect timing.

The site was very sandy, which got everywhere. We were constantly sweeping out our camper. It rained once and then the site became very muddy. The sand and mud gave the vibe that the site wasn't clean, even though there wasn't any trash laying around at all. On the contrary, overall the campground was very well kept.

We had full hookups. The power and water connections worked as expected. They ONLY have 50 amp power, so you will need an adapter if your camper has a 30 amp connection. I'm glad I emailed them and asked. The sewer hookup was slightly higher than ground level, next to a tree, which made dumping a little bit of a chore. I think this was unique to our site, since most of the other sites were very flat. The sites were relatively close together, which gave the impression of staying in a parking lot, but it wasn't too bad because the entire campground is lightly wooded, with a scattering of trees to give the illusion of privacy and a bit of shade.

The mosquitoes were really bad, even though we had lots of bug spray which did not seem to help. There are several areas of standing water around the campground that are probably breeding grounds for the little buggers. Good door discipline didn't help either and they got in the trailer anyway. The bugs alone prevent us from returning. Next time we stay this area we will probably choose another campground further inland or a little further north.

We stayed here for our very first camping experience with a rented travel trailer. Phone support was courteous and answered every question before arrival. Helpful staff assisted with backing in and getting checked in. Our 3 yr old loved the playground and various activities around the campground. Nice, relatively quiet, woodsy atmosphere.
The only negative was we were unable to get a fire started with the wood they offer for sale. Probably my fault, since I didn't bring a "starter log" and tried to do it the old-fashioned way by using kindling and tinder cut from the provided logs with my multi-tool. Only managed to make 2 partially charred pieces of not-burning wood.
