Frontier Town and Fort Whaley are related campgrounds near Ocean City, Maryland, that offer a ton of family-friendly entertainment and activities. We recommend visiting in the summertime, because the most popular destination for campers is the water park. The scenery is also the most beautiful at that time of year.
