Sun Outdoors Frontier Town

466 RV Sites, 36 Cabins, 66 Tent Sites, 27 Cottages, 22 Onsite RV/Trailers, 7 Wagons

On the scenic shores of Sinepuxent Bay in Berlin, Maryland, just south of Ocean City on the Eastern Shore, Sun Outdoors Frontier Town has created one of the Mid-Atlantic's most elaborately themed and amenity-complete resort campgrounds—a Wild West destination resort where a full water park, a Go Ape high ropes and zip line course, a 75-slip marina with kayaking and jet skiing, miniature golf, and three on-site dining options combine with the Ocean City beach access that a free shuttle provides four days a week. Full-hookup RV sites, covered wagon rentals, vacation cottages, and tent camping serve the full accommodation spectrum in a resort that gives families too many on-property activities to exhaust in a week, let alone a weekend. Full-hookup RV sites with 20/30/50-amp electric, cable, and Wi-Fi service accommodate rigs up to 45 feet with slide-outs and feature picnic tables and fire pits with cooking grates, while covered wagon rentals and vacation cottages provide alternative accommodations for guests without RVs. The Frontier Town Water Park anchors the on-property aquatic recreation, and a separate outdoor pool supplements it for guests who prefer a controlled-temperature pool environment. The 75-slip marina and pier provide bay boating access for guest-owned and rental watercraft, with kayaking, jet skiing, and fishing directly from the resort's Sinepuxent Bay waterfront, and three on-site eateries—Pony Espresso and Creamery, Laze River Saloon, and Chuck Wagon—handle food service across the full day. The bay setting on Sinepuxent Bay, one of Maryland's most productive and beautiful tidal waterways, gives the resort's waterfront and marina a natural backdrop that the Wild West theme's inland origins make genuinely surprising. Fishing from the marina's pier and from rental kayaks and boats on the bay produces flounder, striped bass, and the croaker and spot that characterize Maryland's tidal bay fishery in the productive shallow water between the barrier island and the Eastern Shore mainland. The bay's calm water provides sheltered paddling that the Atlantic Ocean's surf conditions make impossible—a counterpoint to Ocean City's beach experience that gives Frontier Town guests access to two completely different coastal water environments from the same property. Ocean City's 10-mile Atlantic boardwalk, beach, and resort entertainment district lies just north of the resort via the free Thursday-through-Sunday shuttle service—a transportation link that eliminates the need to drive and park in Ocean City while still providing full access to the beach, the Boardwalk's food vendors and amusement attractions, and the Inlet's fishing piers and excursion boats. The Ocean City Life-Saving Station Museum on the Inlet interprets the barrier island's history from its 19th-century resort origins through the lifesaving service era that preceded the Coast Guard, and the charming Victorian-era town of Berlin a few miles inland provides antique shops, locally owned restaurants, and a Main Street atmosphere that contrasts productively with Ocean City's resort energy. Maryland's Eastern Shore camping season runs primarily from Memorial Day through Labor Day at peak capacity, with the Frontier Town Water Park and marina operating at full service from June through August when the family summer vacation market fills the resort's accommodation options. The shoulder seasons of May and September-October offer the Sinepuxent Bay's coastal atmosphere—warm enough for beach walks, kayaking, and bay fishing—with dramatically reduced crowds and more flexible reservation windows. Off-season visits are possible for guests seeking the Eastern Shore's fall waterfowl hunting and quiet bay fishing, but the full resort infrastructure operates only during the primary summer season.

Sun Outdoors Ocean City

318 RV Sites, 7 Tent Sites, 41 Cottages

On 50 acres of Sinepuxent Bay waterfront in Berlin, Maryland—12 minutes from the Ocean City boardwalk and immediately adjacent to the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge on the Maryland side where the wild ponies of Assateague Island roam the same barrier island beach that the Atlantic surf and the Sinepuxent Bay's calm water flank on either side—Sun Outdoors Ocean City (formerly Castaways RV Resort) provides full hookup RV sites, tent sites, and furnished cottages on the bay waterfront with a Frozen Sun Tiki Bar, a Bay Breeze Café, a dog beach and Bark Park, watercraft rentals, kayaking, paddleboarding, and a complimentary shuttle bus running to both the Ocean City boardwalk and to Assateague Island. The shuttle service to two separate destinations—boardwalk and wild ponies—from a single campground eliminates the two most common logistical complaints about visiting both Ocean City and Assateague on the same trip. Full hookup RV sites with 20, 30, and 50-amp electric, water, and sewer connections accommodate rigs up to 45 feet on paved premium waterfront pads and partial gravel-and-grass combinations depending on site position. Furnished cottage rentals provide the turnkey accommodation option for guests without RVs. The Sinepuxent Bay waterfront position creates the specific visual environment of a bayside campground where the sunset over the bay and the sound of bay water replacing the ocean's surf provide a measurably different atmosphere from the oceanfront campground alternatives. The Frozen Sun Tiki Bar and Bay Breeze Café serve the food and beverage needs throughout the operating day. A dog beach and Bark Park serve the dog-owning population that beach campgrounds attract in significant numbers, and the complimentary dog wash station keeps the sand-covered bay dogs manageable for the overnight stay. Kayaking, paddleboarding, and watercraft rentals provide the bay water recreation access directly from the resort's bayside position. The complimentary shuttle bus service—connecting the campground to the Ocean City boardwalk in one direction and to Assateague Island in the other—is the specific logistical innovation that converts a bayside campground stay into a multi-destination access point without requiring guests to navigate the Ocean City summer traffic with their own vehicles. Ocean City's 10-mile boardwalk, its Ferris wheel and amusement rides, its tram service, and the concentrated seafood restaurants, shops, and entertainment venues represent the East Coast's most active resort beach town experience on a per-block basis. Assateague Island—the barrier island shared between Maryland and Virginia where the wild pony herd descended from horses stranded by a 17th-century shipwreck (or possibly escaped from Colonial-era Chincoteague settlers, depending on which historical interpretation one prefers) has roamed free through the saltmarsh and beach grass for three centuries—provides the natural counterpoint to Ocean City's commercial density. The Maryland portion, managed as Assateague Island National Seashore and Assateague State Park, provides beach camping, swimming, and pony viewing in a wild setting that Ocean City's 9 miles of developed boardwalk makes possible to access as a day trip. Sun Outdoors Ocean City is open seasonally through the Maryland shore season. Peak summer demand from June through August requires the earliest possible reservation for waterfront sites. The fall shoulder season—when the Sinepuxent Bay's waterfowl hunting season opens and the pony population on Assateague enters the cooler months without the summer crowds—provides the most atmospheric off-peak visit. Reserve your bay-view site early, check the shuttle schedule for the Assateague morning departure, and let the Chincoteague ponies and the Ocean City boardwalk earn the Maryland Shore trip that both of them separately deserve.
