A new guide from Matador Network, created with help from The Dyrt, features 60 U.S. campsites with the best views, including Maryland’s Assateague Island National Seashore. The campground offers ocean and bay views, stunning sunrises and sunsets, and the unique experience of camping among wild horses that roam the island’s beaches and wetlands.
According to the list, “Assateague Island National Seashore offers one of the most unique camping experiences on the East Coast, as campers have views of wild horses that roam freely across pristine beaches, rolling dunes, and salt marshes. The campground is spread between sites on both the ocean and bay sides of the barrier island, allowing for sunrise views over the Atlantic or sunsets across Chincoteague Bay. But the highlight is likely the island’s wild horses, descendants of 17th-century livestock brought by settlers. They often wander through the campsites, and you can spend peaceful mornings and evenings watching them mosey through the park’s beautiful wetlands and shoreline. Reservations are required year-round.”
