We just took a bunch of kids to Ft Whaley, about 20 miles ouside of Ocean City. It was secure, very clean, lots of stuff for the kids to do. You can also go to the waterpark at OC frontiertown(?) for free with your stay at Ft Whaley. Depends on what you're looking for, it's not remote, they have a store, clean bathroom and showers, a pool, putt putt, hayrides, movies etc etc. There are primitive campsites, pull-thru's, cabins etc. The catch and release pond isnt much of a pond though. If you're planning a trip to O.C. there is free parking at the park and ride west of the bridge and the shuttle bus is $1 roundtrip...and yes you can bring a cooler on the bus, but legally, no alcohol is allowed on the beach at O.C....so bring a hugger too.
