Camping near Annapolis

·
More than 533 miles of shoreline greet you in Annapolis—an aquatic getaway in Maryland. Perched on the Chesapeake Bay, the historic area is cut by sparkling waterways. Whether you're boating, kayaking, fishing, or sailing, there's always something to do on the water. By the way, the bay town gets bonus points for being under 30 miles from both Washington DC and Baltimore. Cruising the East Coast on a big rig? Pull into one of the area's RV parks—resorts with Wi-Fi, swimming pools, and nature trails are never a tough find. If you're stoked about tent camping, choose from private campgrounds with water access or a handful of Maryland state parks. Wherever you make camp, bay shores are always within reach. Just up the highway, Sandy Point State Park is a favorite spot for relaxing on Chesapeake Bay. Make a splash swimming, sailing, and boating (rent one here or BYOB—bring your own boat). While there are no campsites, this park is a great spot to spend the day on the water. For military families, camping in Annapolis is even easier. An NSA-run campground on the Severn River boasts seasonal tent and year-round RV sites. Plus, you have easy access to the Naval Academy and other area attractions. While Annapolis, MD draws in boating enthusiasts year round, the Atlantic breezes can get cool. Remember to bring a few layers to stay cozy while you camp.

If you’re down for a little history (and maybe a little mystery) Cedarville State Forest will definitely dazzle. The 3,510 acre forest was once the winter camping ground of the Piscataway Tribe because of the mild climate and abundance of game. Legend claims that there is a Native American burial ground within the forest... but it has yet to be found. Spooky! Equestrian, family and youth group campsites are available for your overnight stay. 19.5 miles of horseback riding, hiking and mountain biking trails weave through the forest. They pass a number of historical features, including the loblolly pine plantations that were planted by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930's, by a charcoal kiln, and through farm areas whose springs and streams were used to make moonshine!

Say hello to Tuckahoe! 20 miles of hiking and biking surround the upper branch of Tuckahoe Creek, making it no surprise that this park hosts an annual triathalon. Don’t worry, though, you don’t have to be in race-shape to enjoy yourself here. Pack a picnic lunch and enjoy the view of 60 acres of the Tuckahoe lake, or get familiar with the local flora at the Adkins Arboretum. This 500-acre public garden boasts more than 600 species of local plantlife. Curious about that flower you saw on your morning bike ride? The Arboretum can help you out. Tours and information are available, or you can wander on your own and geek out on all that greenery.

Our property is in Howard County, Maryland, and is super convenient to I-95, I-295, Hwy 32, and I-70. It is centrally located between Washington, DC, Baltimore, MD, and Frederick, MD. We are located right off of Highway 32 down a long, private paved driveway. What makes our property unique is all that it has to offer--it's an 18 acre oasis with mature woods protected by a conservation deed, lightly rolling hills, beautiful fields, wetlands, and a pond. It is not surprising to see deer and our local great blue heron on the property throughout the day. There is also a fire pit, which you are free to use. Firewood is free.
