Assateague National Seashore in March is your own Private oceanside campground. We camped in the Oceanside Campground for 6 nights in Weather ranging from warm, sunny and windy to cold, rainy, and windy. Windy seems to be a given at Assateague in the Spring.
Assateague Island National Seashore in Maryland is on a barrier Island off the Maryland and Virginian coast. The beach is about 37 Miles long.

I'm sure the campground is a bit busier during the summer, but come in early spring and you will have it to yourself. There are several very interesting nature trails revealing the beauty of the Dunes, the Marsh, and the Forest. We found the Loblolly Pine forest to be especially nice.
Of course the high point of any visit to Assateague is the Horses.The Assateague Horses, while small in stature (about the size of a pony) are true horses, descendants of domestic horses brought to the island over 300 years ago. They are beautiful to watch and wander freely through the park and campground. They are, however, wild horses, and their behavior is not that of domestic horses. "Look, but don't touch" is the rule.
There is a handout about the horses in PDF format available from the park at
