Summer is one of the most popular times for camping in Maryland. There is one spot in particular that is not only scenic, but will give you an experience that you’ll never forget. Assateague State Park is Maryland’s only oceanfront park and this camping spot is so unique, that as soon as you leave, you’ll already be planning your next trip.

Located in Berlin, Assateague State Park has 350 campsites to choose from and they're all pretty amazing.
