Ewwwwww... watch out for ticks!!!!! We had a bad experience there and we just visited for a couple hours to picnic. My BIL got three ticks and my two sisters each got one. I think they are especially bad there because of all the ponies. That's my experience there at least.

Sorry to hear that, ugh. Maybe we were lucky. We camped there for 3 days, and didn't have any problems with ticks. (thankfully!) I'll definitely keep an eye out for them the next time.

Are there places without ticks (serious question)? I always thought this was one of the perils of camping.

Ticks are seasonal, and you pick them up mostly in tall grass. If you spray your ankles with bug spray you should be okay. It always surprises me how much noise people make over ticks. Also Assateaugue is in Virginia.

Just came back from Deep Creek Lake State Park in Maryland and it was beautiful. About 3 hours from DC.
