On the National Park Service website, it seems like you can only get vehicle passes at the Maryland visitor's center. We will be staying in Chincoteague, so that is an hour+ away from us. Is there really no way to get a pass online or in VA? Related question: If my parents have senior passes, does that mean they don't need a vehicle pass? We are all looking forward to ponies!

Yes they live there year round . However the area where they graze is large . They can not always be seen from the pony overlook , or the road . We often go when they do the fall pinning . They round them up for health checks & vaccinations . I have never visited the area where the 2nd Va. heard is . It can be visited by bus tour or by hikers . We always ride our bikes which are not aloud near the 2nd heard . There are also ponies on the MD. 1/2 of Assateague they are lose and roam at will . There is a camping area on the Md. side . I have seen video of campers having trouble with ponies that wonder into their camp .
