You can tell that i don't live near a ocean or large body of water ,
yet. When i was going to school in Minnesota the bugs weren't really
bad. Worse than here in ohio. The portable hammock i found weight around
20 lbs. , ok for a weekend trip. The hammock comes with its own stand .
:-) . I won't know what kind of tent that would work the best , secure
it to the ground. From article i read , this may not be a problem
(designated camp grounds ).

I haven't actually done any camping around Assateague but I'd definitely
bring a tent.
