The National Park Service offers two campgrounds, with primitive outdoor facilities, including chemical toilets, drinking water and cold showers. Some sites are open year-round. The state park offers tent and RV camp sites with bathhouses with hot showers and flush toilets. The camp area also has a small store and snack bar. Campgrounds are available right behind the dunes at Assateague, and some four-wheeling is possible on sections of the Maryland beach, with a permit available at the park office.
Fishing remains a big deal here.
For shoppers, Chincoteague holds little beyond some curio shops and small artists' galleries. There are no restaurants on Assateague Island, and in Chincoteague your choices are limited. And while everything might appear to be fried, most restaurants will prepare your seafood to your order. A children's menu is available. Night Life Sunsets and soft-serve ice cream.
