One of our favorite staycation campgrounds. We are Maryland residents and Assateague is one of those places which is very special to us. Where else can you camp with wild beach ponies? The facilities are clean and the beaches are beautiful. The park is also handicap accessible which allowed us to bring our uncle with cerebal palsey to visit. They have free beach wheel chairs for use and ramps to the rest areas. Overall a wonderful place to make great memories. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Wow. We have added this location to our see again list. We LOVED this aprk. We had ponies in our site two of our three nights. It was amazing to hear waves as you slept at night- to walk to a "private" never- crowded beach, all for $30 a night is awesome. The views and biking were great. Terrific ladies in nature center. Great activities for the kids. Bathrooms were not great but they were heavily used. Mosquitoes were as expected. Bring sunscreen & bug spray. No shade. Bring your own. Camp store had little to nothing and expensive. Beautiful. So glad we got here. Book early so you will not need to move sites to complete your stay. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We have camped here for 11 years now. This is the best family friendly, ocean front park we have ever gone to. The beach is at most 400 yards from your campsite. There is a free weekly "day camp" for the kids in the mornings, yoga classes, surf fishing demonstrations, and much more at no charge to the campers. Junior Rangers, Junior Beach Patrol classes, a bead making class, tie-die Tuesdays and kayak trips are available at a nominal fee. When you get tired of the beach, just head over to Ocean City for some fun. While there is an electric loop in the campground, it is very hard to get in at the prime season. The breezes coming off of the ocean keep things cool and the bugs at bay. We have had issues with mosquitoes in the past, but that is rare and a good bug spray works. If you don't mind roughing it a bit, this campground is not to be missed! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We had a great site on the I loop. The kids really enjoyed seeing the ponies, and they did come right into our site. We had heard there would be bugs, but we had no problems with them. We had a nice ocean breeze that kept us cool. The access to the beach was a plus, and there were not a lot of people on the beach because it's far away from the day use section. The beach was clean. At night we had the beach almost to ourselves. We loved the fact that there are no dogs allowed: NO yappy dogs. The only downside was the horse poop, and wished the staff did more to clean up after the horses. We loved being on the oceanside of the loop, and not bayside. There are also lots of attractions in the area that were close. We would go back again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Excellent campground in oceanside setting. Wildlife was plentiful, deer, unusual birds, and of course the Assateague ponies. We camped for two nights with electric hookups in Loop H. Sites were paved and mostly level, each with a picnic table. Clean bathhouse, dumpsters, water, and dump station were located nearby. Loop was about 75% full during our stay, but the rest of the campground seemed to be around 10%, so the beach and paved biking trail were wide open. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Just remember that the campground is situated on a "wild" island, with many animals and insects (including ticks during our stay). Also, the weather, particularly the wind, can change from good to bad in a hurry. We will definitely camp here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Very nice park. It was great seeing the horses and deer roaming through. Enjoyed falling asleep to the sound of the ocean. Would return here in a heartbeat. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Only loop H has electric hookups. Large, nicely spaced sites. They have a RV dump next to loop H. We really enjoyed the wildlife. The wild horses come right up to your camp site, but remember to keep a safe distance from them; they will bite and kick. There are also deer everywhere. All sites in state park are on the ocean side just on the other side of a dune. Very nice beach but watch the kids for rip tides. Ocean City is about 10 miles north. We will go back again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Lovely ocean front sites. This is a must if you are tired of the typical campground. Clean, well run facility. Great for bike riding and surf fishing. About 20min ride to the hustle and bustle of OC MD. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This was our first camping adventure and we loved it. Arriving at park, wild ponies and deer walk around freely. Our spot was in loop "H", the only loop with electric (only about 25 sites have electric). Rate is $30 without electric. Arrived Wednesday - fewer campers and clean bathhouses. By Saturday lots of kids and bathhouses quickly became dirty. Hot showers were nice. Campground very quiet - no music, generators or roudy neighbors. Campsites are very close to ocean - just a two minute walk over the dune. This is a great place to relax - quiet, peaceful and natural. Beaches are clean an uncrowded. No bugs whatsoever, although we heard that they can be bad at certain times of the year. Freshwater and dumping facility on-site. Camp store sells basic supplies and souvenirs. Also a grill serving up hamburgers and stuff. The Maryland Department of Natural Resources does a great job at managing this state treasure. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We just got back and couldn't wait to re-book again in September and book a week next summer. The only detractors are very limited access to electrical sites and the bathhouses could use a good scrubbing but were still acceptable. $30 a night with a very short walk to a virtually private beach. Wild horses and deer roaming all over including right through your campsite - with the occasional large pile of horse droppings scattered about. Very friendly camp staff including a park policeman who only issued a warning to this very excited new arriver. Observe the speed limits! Beaches were clean, fishing was fine, bugs were not a problem at all despite numerous horror stories. The campground itself was basically sand, grass, shrubs and asphalt - certainly nothing fancy. The stars at night were amazing, the cool ocean breezes were heavenly. Might have to borrow a generator next year though because my 12 volt was spent after just a few days. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
This campground, located on the ocean in the land of wild ponies, is outstanding. It's filled with wildlife, in both the ocean and on land, affords campers the benefit of a virtually private, beautiful and pristine ocean beach, offers planned (ranger-naturalist-type) activities in season, has very clean/modern rest room and shower facilities, and is within easy (15 minute) reach of Ocean City's abundant nightlife. Operated by the State, this campground is next to the national park campground (see listing for Assateague Island National Seashore in Berlin, Maryland); the latter, however, is far more rustic -- it has no flush toilets, only cold showers, and a greater degree of insect (mosquito and fly) infestation (the Feds don't spray). For these reasons, our family prefers this "more civilized" state campground. Book early, though: the campground fills up fast in season, especially on weekends. We camped here in a Tent.
Oceanfront state park adjacent to Assateague National Park. Only 39 sites have electric
service so reservations are necessary. $40 with electric, $30 without electric. While the campground is in the dunes all sites have asphalt pads. Within 10 miles of Ocean City, MD. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The staff was very friendly from reservations to throughout our stay. We had a problem with our cable connection and maintenance was at our site before we could walk back to fix and this was at 9pm. There are spacious sites and we were able to park an additional vehicle at site for $2 per night. The waterpark is closed this time of year, but we were in Ocean City for the car show anyway. The restrooms and showers were always clean. We will be back again next year. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Nice place in a nice location. A little too expensive. Definitely should have two pools as the one they have is usually packed. Because of the long distances between activities in the park ,everybody drive either a car or golf cart everywhere which makes for a dusty atmosphere. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We've camped here several times before and enjoyed it very much. The water park is small but nice. This year and last year, it seems that there are many more golf carts and a lot of kids driving them and speeding. The mosquitoes were horrendous this year. They used to spray for them, but I don't know whether or not they did this year. The bathrooms were not that clean this year either. The place seems like it was a bit run down. It's very expensive for what you get. We won't be coming back for a while. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
I can only think of one word for this place - WOW! We had a waterfront site in z-lane and one of the best camping experiences we've ever had. This place has just about everything - family activities, kayak rentals, fishing, W/S/E/C hookups, friendly courteous staff, swimming pool, clean big and free shower/bath houses, free water park, etc, etc. In our six day stay we only left the campground to visit the OC beach and boardwalk one day and Assateague to look for wild ponies a half of another day. And while we took our car, both of those places could be visited by using the campground's complimentary shuttle bus. Sites seemed fairly wide and level, Roads were gravel or paved. I could complain about the amount of golf carts buzzing about, but we found that it was extremely convenient to rent one because of the size of the park. We used it to get to the water park, the miniature golf, and the western theme town, all of which were excellent. Yes, at $88 a night this place is a little pricey. But we felt that it was completely worth it for the site, the amenities and the location. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This campground is very family oriented. Lots of things to do for the kids. The pool was nice and kept clean. The camp store was fully stocked. Our site was a bit narrow but not too small. The campground was surprisingly quiet even though it was packed. It's very close to both Ocean City beach and boardwalk. We stayed here in a Hybrid Travel Trailer and would stay again. The only negative I would say is that it is on the expensive side: but they do have lots of things going on including a nice mini golf and water park. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Frontier town is an excellent RV park, in a terrific location on Sinepuxent Bay near Ocean City and Assateague Island. Nice pool, great mini water park, fully stocked camp store, lots of cable TV channels, express check in, and plenty of polite and helpful employees. This was our fifth visit over the past nine years and not much has changed over that time. Frontier town is an older RV park and I think it's time for some updating. Concrete pull thru super sites and concrete pads on all the full hookup sites would be wonderful. Better locations for hookups on some sites is a must, and wider roads and select pruning of mature trees along the roadways on on certain sites would be very helpful for big rig owners like us. This is a great park for families with kids of all ages. Make sure to enjoy the Boardwalk in Ocean City, the Ocean Bowl skate park on 3rd and St. Louis Ave, and the State and Federal parts of Assateague Island with the wild horses and sweeping ocean and marsh landscapes. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We have been coming here for 8 years now. We can't say enough good things about this place. Yes it is a little expensive, but in my opinion very well worth it. I stay on z lane, water front. I can park my boat right behind my trailer. That saves me $27 a night for a boat slip. The water park is free for campers, knock off another 20 bucks a day per person. There is a charge for people that don't stay here. They always have entertainment. Fishing and crabbing off the pier. Restaurant in the park, food is good. Camp store has just about everything you could ask for or need. Golf carts do abound, but the place is so huge you need one to get around unless you want to use your car. I have seen security stop a few younger kids driving them. The Wild West show is fun for all. We took my 2-year old grandson, he had a blast. We will be back. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We had to book more than a year in advance to get a full week here with two other families,and although none of the sites were together, they were close. We were on site T18. Our site was hard to back into because we had to back between the concrete patio(nice) and the site sign post. It's expensive at $80 a night, but that includes daily entrance to the water park, which adults and kids loved. They also provide a free beach shuttle that runs on a set schedule. A word of warning about site selection-our friends were on sites W15 and W21. There is a bay stream that runs a the back of these sites. At high tide it starts to encroach on these sites. At W21 it rose so much that it took the kids toys and flip flops into the stream and came up as far as the fire pit and the electric post. Management were not at all sympathetic. The only solution they offered was that if my friends wanted to leave early they would refund the unused days. I'd stay here again, just not on that row. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We spent five nights here...three nights too many. We thought having access to the waterpark would be worth any other inconveniences...I'm not sure this was the case. Perhaps for families with tweens and teens it would be a bigger benefit. For us, I had to back in to a heavily treed site on the main road...and had arrived at 4:30. Holy cow. It took an hour, waiting for the million golf carts and bike riders to keep going by. The sites are very close together and the whole campground is dusty from all the activity and dirt roads. There's certainly plenty to do, both at the campground and in the area. I think this was just too busy of a campground for us...I couldn't let the girls go and ride their bikes around...too much traffic. We did go to the waterpark four days, but the girls found it just okay. The lines weren't too bad really, but the lazy river was too packed! Facilities were clean, get there early if you want a chair. I think that if we had been in a quieter spot, we might have enjoyed it more. The pop-up camper to our left had four teenagers camping outside of it and they were up early and stayed up late. The travel trailer to our right left their two yapping dogs alone most of the time and the dogs yapped continually. All in all, we were glad to leave and would not go back. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Great for kids. Clean showers just stingy with the water (real stingy). Staff was friendly. Cool camp store. Bus to Ocean City was a great help due to limited parking there. An annual favorite. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
My family of 4 just returned from a week here and we already have a reservation for 2010. We like the location, shuttle service, water park and large "L" shaped pool in the campground. Staff are friendly and the camp store has anything you could ever possibly need-including a small deli/kitchen. We ordered a couple of sandwiches and sides the day we checked in and they were delicious. Assateague Island which is nearby is also a plus. There is quite a walk to the water park and theme park from the campsites so we take our bikes. Reason for the "8"? Golf carts are a complete hazard here, young people drive them way too fast and pull out in front of vehicles, walkers and bikes. Others load little ones onto them haphazardly and we also saw adults driving with alcoholic beverages. Security needs to also be beefed up a bit. A state trooper car and campground vehicle flew by our site one night after some young people ran by after dark. Not sure what was happening, however, their 11 p.m. quiet time was that for all 6 nights, very quiet. I'd pay more per night if they would get rid of the golf carts. The worst thing that would happen is folks would actually get some exercise. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Great campground. This is our second year camping here for the week. Everyone is very friendly. Quick access to Ocean City. The only minor issues are the poor WI-FI (it is frustrating to even try to use since it kicks you off) and the numerous golf carts driven by young kids. These are minor issues. Overall positive camping experience. We are coming back next year. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Excellent campground w/ large sites and not a lot of bogus rules. They allow you to go to you site earlier than their usual check-in time if the site is vacant. Great free water park but since it is open to the public it's crowded. The park only has one, not very large, pool to handle over 500 sites,so that too was very crowded. WiFi service was very slow and intermittent at it's best.I would have given it a higher rating except for the high price for a family of four. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is our favorite campground so far. It is a nice clean campground. The staff is very helpful and friendly. There is plenty to do. The store is very well supplied and handy. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
For a large campground, it was very well managed. The pony express check in worked out well. You call ahead and when you get there you are automatically directed to your campsite without checking in at the desk. The rest rooms and showers were clean. The first night was booked to capacity (Memorial Day Weekend) and the second night, because it was still off season, there were very few campers. Even at the busiest time, it was reasonably quiet. When in the area,we would return to this campground. We enjoyed walking the grounds, especially by the waterfront. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We really enjoyed this campground even though we were there before peak season. You can see the Ocean City boardwalk rides from the fishing pier. The campsites aren't to close together, mostly wooded. Beautiful views of the bay. Very good location. Even our nineteen year old daughter enjoyed it. We hope to go back soon. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This was a great get-away for us, took our two dogs and stayed for 5 nights. We got lucky with an ocean front site, normally occupied by a long-term family. Very relaxing. The only warning to others is this is a family / child oriented park and with waterslides, etc., be ready for lots of kids. We thought it was great. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Beautiful weather, a nearby BBQ festival and an uncrowded weekend. Just one problem: Had to go home. I just couldn't expect more. We camped here in a Motorhome.
I think a combination of perfect weather and the Cruisers Car Show made this a 10 for me. I don't think I've seen so many smiling, happy people in my life. What great time! We camped here in a Motorhome.
A lovely campground in a good location, easy to visit Ocean City and Assateague Island. It was out of season so most things closed but camp store still open and well stocked. Bath houses large, modern and very clean; we don't use them but we always check what they are like! (800) 228-5590 We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We have six kids, so Frontiertown is right up their alley. All the loops are gravel, only the main drags are paved. The campground is a beautiful setting with tall, mature pines and lots of shade with a huge marsh along two sides of the park along with a boat ramp at the rear, and some sites along bulkheaded canals. They have a shuttle to Ocean City Boardwalk that drops you two blocks from boardwalk. This is definitely the best way to get to the boardwalk. We drove our motor coach over to the National Park on Assateague Island for a nice beach day. It's just a couple of miles from the campground. The parking lot at Assateague was large enough and empty enough to park adjacent to the ocean and take all our stuff to the ocean. You are almost certain to see the tamest wild ponies anywhere. They are in the road, in the parking lot and walking through campsites. There is a small entry fee to the park. Between the waterpark in the campground, the Ocean City boardwalk and Assateague just down the street, Frontiertown has it all. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Great place!! The camp ground itself is clean as well as the bathrooms and showers. Most sites are rather small and open (not shaded.) However, there are wooded sites and we were lucky in getting a fairly spacious site. The roads are rather narrow however making for some precarious turns. There is a nice pool inside the campground as well two nice playgrounds. Bay front sites are available as well. A waterpark (separate from the pool) is open to the public but is free for campers and it is a load of fun! The western theme park is also open to the public and offers discount admission to campers. Several restaurants/snack bars are available. The camp store is very well stocked and even offers beer and wine for going rates. We had a non-sewer site and had to use the dump station. There are only two and they are tough to get into. Get a sewer site if they're available!! Activity schedule was decent too. Golf carts are available for rental and they seemed to have plenty. We didn't know they had them and still got one at check-in without a problem. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This park has alot to offer, from its waterpark to the ocean front sites its well worth the money. We were on A lane which was W/S, yet provided a large site. The only drawback to the site was it was relatively shadeless. The campground has a CG store inside the park which was about as well stocked as any I have come across, they even sell beer and wine, and the prices where not bad at all. The park has bar behind the waterpark which was a first I have seen. Also at the entrance to the park was a large store/arcade and an ice cream shop. The waterpark itself was nice and clean, however only offers 3 slides, a lazy river, and a childrens area. We have no kids so it only entertained us for a short period of time, but its included in the price. The employees of the park are nice and helpful. Very close to Ocean City, MD and the beaches. Only drawback to the campground is the traffic coming and going can be unnerving. (Watch small children carefully) Also very difficult to get reservations, we wanted to go back next year and where unable to get a reservation at this time. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We love this cg because of it's location to beach/boardwalk & Assateague. This is our 3rd year here & this time around we were very disappointed at how many more golf carts there are - absolutely ridiculous!. You can't even enjoy the campfire at night because it's like sitting in front of a major highway with headlights blinding you all the time! Why can't people walk & enjoy nature while camping?! The other issue was the Wi-Fi... we were there for 10 days & it only only worked 1.5 days - and only from the pavilion - not from your site! I inquired about it & the the lady at the office said to me, "I don't understand why you're upset about it because it's free anyway...you should consider going to Panera's - theirs is free too & it seems to work all the time." I know it's free but if it's advertised as an offered amenity, it should work. We're considering going elsewhere next year. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We love this cg. It has everything you need, stores are close. They have a bus that will take you to Ocean city free of charge, if your children are old enough they can go by themselves. The cg is very very clean. The staff was always helpful. We are going back in a week. Can't wait for our vacation this year. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is by far the best campground that we have ever stayed in. We have two boys, 4 and 2, who are...let's say active. There are more than enough activities to tire out the boys. The bus that takes you to the beach is always staffed by an incredibly nice driver who is more than eager to chat about the local sites and scenery. We stay here for a week every year, and count the days until next years trip. The bathrooms are clean and air conditioned, and the camp store sells EVERYTHING including beer and wine at very fair prices. We cannot say enough great things about the place...so we will stop there. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Nice park with many activities for families - including swimming, fishing, boat ramp and docks and a two nice playgrounds. They also have activities planned in the pavilion including a movie night, games, etc. When we arrived on Mother's day weekend they had just received three inches of rain and we were warned that many site were quite wet. In fact some were under water (notably most dried by the morning). However, they were VERY accommodating and allowed us to switch sites - to a nice dry one! In addition, they allow free late check out in the spring and fall - if available (usually the case). Not really quiet, but tolerable. Only one negative - we saw many folks with open alcohol containers, although none were rude or obnoxious, it was a bit concerning that several parents at the play ground had open containers. There was excellent security with someone driving around more than once per hour on patrol. Again, despite the open containers no one was acting inappropriate. Overall it was a fun weekend despite the weather! I would not necessarily recommend a waterfront site, esp in the spring, due to the unpredictable weather. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This campground had it all. It had a water park up front, a fun miniature golf course which was well kept, a huge store with arcade games plus a large store within the campground that had everything you could need or want plus more. There were a few livestock penned up for the rodeo and a western town in the back which had daily shows. The sites were a good size but not much on privacy. There were beautiful pine trees all over that were kept neatly trimmed which gave you great shade. Most sites had a nice view of the bay if you didn't want actual bay front. We are definitely returning here when it's warmer to enjoy the water park and the pools. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This was an enjoyable stay for a couple of days during the off season. This campground is a little too crowded for us during the peak summer season. In the summer it is like a circus; golf carts driving everywhere; children running wild; great place for people who love huge crowds. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
I think we found the perfect time to visit this campground. (Before summer vacations start and on a weekend that there were no real special events.) Very quiet and enjoyed ourselves. Be careful, many of the spots are very tight to back into especially with a fifth wheel. During peak months and special events, this campground is full of unsupervised children and too many golf carts. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Everything was great! An all-around fantastic campsite. Everyone was very friendly and has numerous ammentities. Childrens fun-park, water-slid, golf cart rental, boat slip, old-west show, store...and more! Would highly recommend this facility. We camped here in a Motorhome.
What can I say? This campground has it all. It’s definitely one of the best campgrounds I’ve ever stayed at. We utilized the Pony Express Check-in and it was the best. We didn’t even have to get out of our truck. I would definitely recommend it if you are checking in on a Saturday or Sunday. They have lots of great planned activities and if you aren’t into any of them you can go to the waterpark, Wild West Town, pool, playground, mini-golf, or bus into Ocean City. There is just so much to see and do there. The only few negative comments I have is that the sites are pretty close together and there was a burn ban in effect (not the campgrounds fault) so we couldn’t have any camp fires. It would have been nice if the campground had maybe sent an e-mail to inform us of that so we didn’t bring a bunch fire wood with us. All in all we had a great time and have already made reservations to go back for a week in August 2008. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
I have never camped at a place that had office staff that were as rude as Frontiertown. Our check-in was horrible. The office staff were unhelpful when we had a question about why we were charged more than we were quoted when we booked our stay in January. I also witnessed one of the office staff give a man a hard time and he explained he had booked this trip from Iraq and had just returned home!! When the soldier left the office the woman at the desk called him a very bad name in front of me. The campground also changed our site without any notice. I spoke with three other campers that had to move their campers to different sites during their week long stay. I would never recommend this campground to anyone. The campground itself is nice, but not worth the price of being treated like crap by the staff. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
This campground is situated on the Sinepuxent Bay directly across from Assateague Island. It is less than 10 minutes from Ocean City and Assateague beaches. Our site had a great view of the beautiful marsh shore of the bay, and due to spraying was not buggy - and a wonderful steady breeze. Many sites are shaded. Seasonal sites make up only about 15% of those available. There is so much to do including the water park and wild west theme park. There's also a fishing pier, marina, mini golf, arcade, and a restaurant on site. Very family-oriented, friendly, and quiet at night. Only minor drawback was the long walk to the bathroom from our site on X-lane and a strange odor in the middle of the night. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
Really nice place. Great staff. Clean facilities. Great store. And the lazy river is to die for. Every campground should have one. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Stayed here for the first time and my kids are already asking when we can go back. There is a lot to do right in the campground...mini-golf, water park, western theme park, arcade, playgrounds. There is also a bus that will take you to ocean city or Aseteaque State Park which was great. You could stay here for a week without a car and not get bored. The site was a good size. Even though you are right next to people, I thought we had plenty of room. Check-in was very quick as we did the pony-express. It only took 3-4 minutes. It was nice to pass the long line of campers who didn't choose that option and were waiting to check-in. The only thing that I didn't like, were the roads. We saw a couple of kids almost get hit because there are tons of bikes, golf carts, cars and trucks everywhere. I know that is to be expected with that many people but I would not let my 10 and 7 year old ride around alone, like I have done at other campgrounds. It was too busy and too big. Although, I didn't let mine, a lot of other people did let their young children run free, and I was surprised nothing really bad had happened. Other than that, this was a great place to stay and I will be going back at some point. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
A great family campground. We just got back from a week's vacation. This was our first stay at the park, we stayed in site R-1. The WI-FI was iffy at best and would be my only negative comment. We booked again for next year! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is one of my favorite campgrounds. I have stayed here several times, and for me this is the only campground to stay in while in Ocean City, MD. The activities for the children are excellent, and the families that camp here are nice. This is a large campground with many sites, so you are bound to run into someone who is not pleasant (campers, not staff). I base my review on the many nice campers I have met (the rule), not the few unpleasant ones (the exceptions). The staff is a bit on the young side, many of them most likely local college students. I really like this place and cannot wait to get back there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We have visited this campground many times, both in tents and with travel trailers. It is a great place as there is much to do both on-site and nearby in Ocean City. Most recently we stayed at a waterfront site and had a fantastic view of the water and the wildlife. Grounds are clean and well maintained. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Very disappointed. While we realized that this weekend was a Halloween celebration (we have two children), we were unprepared for the large number of pre-teens and teens speeding around the campground on golf carts. Little to no supervision of children on bikes and in the roadways made it difficult to stroll the campground to enjoy the holiday decorations or leave temporarily to enjoy Ocean City. Very small sites. Backing into site was extremely difficult. Maybe just a bad weekend but I won't be visiting again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is really one of the best campgrounds I've ever been to. There is so much to do here. You could easily stay for a week and not be bored. The bath houses were the cleanest I've ever seen at any campground and someone was there cleaning every time I went in one. The water park, which is free to campers was perfect and the Western Theme park looked nice as well (we did not have a chance to go there though). I would go back there anytime and plan to next year (assuming we can get a reservation for 2007!). We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We have been going here for years and always book a year ahead of time. The restrooms and showers are always sparkling clean. We visited a few years ago when the hurricane hit. The campground was so muddy, but the bathrooms were still very clean. This is a great family campground. We camped here in a Motorhome.
The camping rate is expensive but it includes a lot, for example the water park and miniature golf. We found the staff very friendly. The fishing was great off the pier, in the bay. We caught many species of fish and saw people catching crabs. The bathrooms were not great but the campground was crowded. The pool is large and clean. The camp store was well stocked. Overall a very pleasant experience and we will be returning. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This is a great park for the entire family! There is lots to do & yet you can relax. This was our 1st visit & we're counting the days to go back next year. If you're planning to visit this cg, you need to make reservations ASAP as sites are already limited for 2007. Overall cg layout - very easy to drive around & find sites. Bathrooms - are immnaculate for the number of people who use these. 3 shifts of workers keep these clean at all times. The only pain is that you have to press a button to operate the shower for about 3-5 seconds at a time. Good water pressure. Office staff - Very friendly and extremely helpful. Sites - are decent size considering the prime real estate location. Quiet hours - I was amazed at how quite this place is after 11pm. Pony Express Check In - Highly recommend this option. You just drive up to the gate, give your name & off you go to your site. No need to ever get out of the car to check in. WaterPark - Small, simple, extremely clean & well supervised. No need to go anywhere else because it is sufficient to keep young & old entertained. Laundry room - Very clean & extremely reasonably priced; only $1 for regular sized wash.machines & $2 for the oversized ones; $.25 for dryers. However, only one laundry room for the entire cg located next to the waterpark. They could use to open another one more centrally located to the sites. Security - A person monitors and verifies all vehicles entering the park to make sure everyone is authorized/registered campers. Western Theme Park - Well worth the $$ & spend the entire day there as the scheduled will keep you busy from 10am to 4pm; non-stop but not rushed. Miniature Golf - Beautiful & always crowded. Never got a chance to go. Dock - This is the best asset this cg has. The dock is huge & the crabbing is great! We met most of our new friends here & had a great time. CG Store - Well stocked of food, RV stuff & personal stuff. A bit pricey but expected. New feature is the hot foods grill & breakfast all day long. Great cup of coffee. Reservation System - Worse aspect of cg; totally stinks! Hard to explain how ridiculously inadequate, inflexible & outdated it is considering the volume of reservations, cancellations & changes people make. I was told they are getting a new system... Location, location, location!!! - CG located 5-6 miles north of Asseateague Nat'l & State Park/beach; and 5 miles south of the OC boardwalk. Close to supermarkets, theaters, amusement parks & other convenience stores. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We stayed back in the Z lane, very nice but the area in front of this leaves a lot to be desired. Showers were clean. A lot to do at the camp ground. Staff should keep a check on the young teens trying to get the adults to buy alcohol for them. Not a good thing for a family camp ground. Wi-Fi not to good if your in the back area. Water park was very nice. I would give it a 10 if it weren't for the teens trying to get alcohol. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
The best rv park we have gone to. The only thing the park needs is WiFi internet. We have been there for 13 years and love it. One problem with the park is if you have to go in season, you need two notice. I would go more often if you could get a site on short notice. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Hmm well the park is great... The reservation staff however leaves a lot to be desired... Allow us to explain...After making reservations on the phone the previous week, we called to update our reservation... (Problem 1) They originally had us checking in on the wrong date, a day early, which if we had known could have came in then. (Problem 2) Was informed the site would be ready and that there would be NO problem with check in with the new date or site... (Problem 3) We arrived at 10:00 am on the date that was updated. We were then informed that we would have to wait until 2:00 Pm to check in (Remember we had confirmed dates and time by phone.) but until then, we could use the amenitites ie pool area. We would have liked to camped with our friends, and there was a site available directly across from them but was told it was reserved. We offered to switch sites and we would pay for the sewer at the original site. Still no dice!!! The arrival of the persons camping using that site, arrived an hour before we packed up and left on Friday. Being curious we had asked them if they would have minded the switch...The said no problem no big deal... SO In our opinion, you have a campground who doens't really care what people would like, but then again they own the two out of three campgrounds in the area. Oh and one final thing... The Wifi is "iffy" we had to go to front area of the park to get a signal... The 3rd C/Grnd is taken up by seasonal users. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Excellent Campground. All of the staff is friendly, and have bent over backwards to make us enjoy the most out of our stay. Reservation lines were a little busy, but they got to us quickly. Campground is not oceanfront but is bayfront. Golf carts are expensive in the in-season, but the front desk clerk talked us in to it. (Great Sales-Woman!) Beautifully landscaped and maintained. Our site was a little wet due to the rain, but they tried to help us as much as possible. The weekend night manager is really friendly, and could not ask for better customer service. We will be staying here as MUCH as possible! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Camping should not include seeing the Maryland State Police break up fights, tires being burned, and my favorite, the drunk man who was throwing empty beer bottles a trailers. Overall, small sites, cramped, and attracts the wrong type of campers. Water park and the Western Theme Park are nice. Overall, clean and staff is very nice. I don't plan to stay there in the future. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This was our second trip to Frontier Town and we once again we found the staff to be excellent and very helpful. On our first trip there we had some difficulty with our cable TV reception the maintenance man came down and spent nearly 2 hours with us trying to track down the problem. They even brought down a TV to check their cable box. Problem turned out to be in our unit which we did get worked out. This past visit in May over Memorial Day was great. The waterpark opened this weekend and my wife and I had a great time there. We have already made reservations for next year - we will go back. Sites a all fairly level and most have good shade however, there are some in direct sun. Two dump stations service the entire park unless you have a sewer hookup. We departed the day after Memorial Day and this presented no problem for us however, there was a line to dump on Memorial Day. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Stayed here for Delmarva bike week. Really loved the sites and the campground. Family orientated and even had a water park in the summer for the kids. Rates were reasonable and was far enoungh away to be quiet. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We visited Frontier Town on the weekend after Labor Day, so we qualified for the "off season rate". I called ahead to make a reservation and the person I spoke to was polite, but VERY eager to get my credit card number "for the deposit". OK, No problem. After giving the information, I was sternly advised that "You will have to hang on while I run your credit card to make sure it's OK" (Again, no problem) I was kept on hold for almost 20 minutes. When she came back, she sounded surprised when she said "Well, that went through with no problem, we'll see you Friday" Friday afternoon, we pulled into the entrance of Frontier Town. There are three lanes entering the campgound, one says "Thru" one says Express, and the other is unmarked. The entrance is guarded by an older gentleman dressed as a sheriff, and he takes his duties very seriously. I gave our name and said we had reservations. He checks his list. No reservation, he says. I ask him to check again. He calls the office. Again, he says we have no reservations. My husband says, very pleasantly, "so what now" thie sherrif says "I guess you'll have to try another weekend!" Hold on Podners! Our credit card was charged, and a big deal was made of that. I make a request to go to the office to inquire. This is not well received by the sheriff. Finally, I manage to get permission to pull over to the side and get out of the vehicle to approach the office. Lo and behold, there is a line of about 20 people waiting to check in inside the office. I patiently wait my turn. There is our reservation! I am told we did not have an "express reservation", so we had to come inside to register, but how in the world were we supposed to know that??????? And if we had listened to the sheriff, we would have turned around and gone home, after there had been no problem with charging our credit card for a deposit. Do I smell a scam?????? The registration process is very thorough.....one must provide first names of all campers, all vehicles tag numbers and be advised of a myriad of rules, such as the charges for a visitor to your site, before one is allowed to actually go to your site and begin camping. WHAT AN ORDEAL!!!! The campground itself is nicely situtated on Sinepuxent Bay, not the ocean. The boating facilities are very nice with a good boat ramp and nice slips available at 12.00 per day. FrontierTown has a lovely pavillion with a big screen TV where movies are shown on summer evenings. The pool seemed clean and was still in use at the time of our visit. Many people camped with pets (as do we) and every pet owner I saw was very responsible for cleaning up after and having the pet leashed. The restrooms were immaculate as were the showers.....however, the showers are the push button variety that you cannot use unless you depress the button with your thumb. The water is pre mixed too, so if you want a HOT shower you are out of luck. Likewise a COLD shower. The pushbutton thing is a real drag, and as a result I don't think the showers see much use, hence their pristine condition. The campsites themselves afford NO privacy whatsoever and campers are slotted together like sardines in every area. An apparant effort has been made at this park to provide the the least amenities and maximize the profit. The water park is probably a nice benefit for families with children but I would not consider spending the 12.00 admission fee on it's own merits. The Wild West Town was closed for the season but looked to be a nice tourist attraction. In all, the rudeness of the staff, lack of privacy and the inadequacy of the showers left me feeling no desire to visit Frontier Town again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We have always avoided Frontier Town, assuming it would be too crowded and too hokey for our tastes. After being snubbed at Eagle's Nest, we ended up there last year, and returned this past spring, reserving a waterfront site for a week. The "Frontier Town" features are entirely separate from the campground, and the latter is quite nice, and the staff helpful. Weekends, the place gets very busy, even in April, so I imagine it is really hopping during the summer season. Since we go to Ocean City only in the off seasons, it doesn't matter, but if you were looking for a place to spend a quiet weekend, the Assateague park would be better. Frontier Town is pretty strict about charging visitor fees, which we don't like, but that seems to be the norm for many RV resorts. This one is the only place we are ever likely to have daytime visitors. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We had a great time in Frontierland. Beautiful park with lots to do even close to the end
of the season when the weather was iffy. Our request for a site close to the bathhouse because of our training toddler was happily accommodated. Staff was
very helpful. We went during "Shrimp Fest" weekend and were treated to a very nice dinner. Would definitely return during the season! We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

We have camped here many times in the last 35 years and have always found everything to be really nice. It can be a bit pricey in season, but the pre and post season rates are quite reasonable. Staff has always been super friendly and helpful. They provide a really fast, hassle-free checkin in you have reservations, which is appreciated after a long drive. The waterfront isn't really the ocean though, it's Sinepuxtent Bay; still very nice. In fall and spring you may see unusual birds migrating. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Huge campground. Well run friendly for the most part (very friendly considering mostly kids). Lots to do in every direction for every interest. Shuttle to the boards so you don't have to fight the traffic. Short drive to public, state or federal beach. This is 2nd visit have already made resevation for the next 2 years. Kids(11&9) can't wait. On the bad site big campground=traffic, No internet! my business relies on e-mail this is a problem since this is generaly an extended stay park, get with the times! See you next year! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Nice campgound, nice facilities. Staff is very rude. I have camped here for approximately 8 years and have decided to go elsewhere now. The campground is nice and clean (except during very busy times such as main holidays, as can be expected) and the water park is nice but the staff remains rude and sometimes very rude. I didn't see one staff person smile the entire time I was there this year. Sadly the only other campground in this area is small and not very nice. I would suggest trying Delaware or Virginia beaches. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This place is great. Nothing else can compare. There is a water park at no charge to
campers and it is great. They have a fishing and crabbing pier which is fun, swimming pool and putt-putt. The restaurant is actually very good and all of the stores are very nice. The general store (camp store) is the best anywhere and NOTHING will ever come close. The bathrooms/showers were IMMACULATE, laughably clean, shockingly clean. The campground sits on a bay with the barrier islands of Ocean City and Assategue Island on the other side of the bay and then the ocean beyond. The sites to see are endless as the area has everything but you could actually check into Frontier Town and never have to leave. They have it all. Best thought out campground I have ever seen. Really the Disney World of campgrounds. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Spring 2004 - We were there on opening day. Being our first visit, we did not know what to expect. We, ( wife and 10 year old ) all enjoyed the campground. Easy access to boardwalk and to see the wild ponies. We will return again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Nice campground with lots of activities for the entire family. Water Park and Mini Golf on site with boat docks and launch. Daily activities for all including bus shuttle to Ocean City boardwalk that runs every hour. The shuttle was great for us because we own a motorhome and do not have a towable. The staff were friendly and eager to please! The camp store has everything you could need from food to rv supplies. This was the first campground that we found whose brochure pictures truly showed them as they actually are. We enjoyed our first stay and will make a return trip next year! Reservations are strongly
recommended. We camped here in a camper.

Lots of things to do, terrific pools, boating, planned activities, nice clean sites, friendly staff, good bike riding for the kids although many many campers, this place packs them in. A great vacation destination with free bus service to Ocean City and the National Seashore. How many campgrounds have a real wild west town, a water park and all the "typical amenities? This place has it all. We camped here in a camper.

We have stayed at frontier town since 1984. Great for families and small children. Free water slide two pools, lots of things to do. Holidays need to be booked way in advance. They accept full week reserv. two years ahead. Full access to local beach area, free beach shuttle, nice people. Most are eager to help. Many come every single year for vacation. We camped here in a camper.
