Wheelchairs designed specifically for use on the beach are available in the Ranger Station at no charge. They are available on a first- come, first-served basis. All bathhouses within the park and at the marina are wheelchair accessible. During your visit to Assateague, you will most likely encounter at least a few of the island's most popular residents, the wild horses. If you plan to operate a generator during your camping stay, please consider neighboring campers and the environment. To ensure a safe and enjoyable visit for all our guests, the Maryland Park Service provides the following rules and guidelines for use of a generator when visiting our parks. If you are renting an RV, trailer or other camping equipment from a vendor such as local businesses or through the websites Outdoorsy or RVShare, please be aware of park rules regarding access to campsites.
