Chincoteague Campground

In the spring of 2016, shortly after the successful sale of Castaways (now Sun Outdoors Ocean City) to Sun Communities, Blue Water completed fervent negotiations with the Maddox family to acquire the storied Maddox Family Campground in Chincoteague Island, VA. The 350-site, $7 million acquisition was an ideal opportunity for Blue Water to rejuvenate the existing property into a world-class RV resort and campground on beautiful Chincoteague Island. This island was already a popular summer destination as the gateway to the Assateague Island National Seashore and as the home to the wild ponies made famous in Marguerite Henry’s 1947 children’s book Misty of Chincoteague. In addition to the pristine beaches of Assateague, Chincoteague features bike-friendly streets, a plethora of owner-operated ice cream shops and restaurants, and miles of waterfront in what was once a sleepy fishing village on the Eastern Shore of Virginia. Overall, the perfect setting for a classic summer vacation for the entire family.
