Stories from the community

1 night at WonderWoods at Rocky Gap

Lovely place and really pleased that she actually had coffee there so I could relax and enjoy my morning after driving in and heading out next day. Thank you Kristen!

Weekend Trip to Strawberry Crossroads

Strawberry Cross Road Campground is a great safe and clean place to camp all year round ! The host TJ is always very friendly and accommodating for any doubts or special need you might have. A great spot to spend some days surrounded by nature …

1 night at WonderWoods at Rocky Gap

Acorn Palace was the perfect getaway for me. Everything was very nice and new, and Kristen thought of every possible detail. It’s close enough to the park that you could walk to the lake if you would like, but also feels very secluded. Kristen was very friendly, and hospitable. I would definitely like to return!

Weekend Trip to WonderWoods at Rocky Gap

Pine Meadow Campsite was the perfect blend of seclusion, comfort, and natural beauty. While the campsite itself is small, there's plenty of space to spread out and relax. The grounds were spotless, and we were constantly serenaded by birds and delighted by the sight of rabbits hopping through the area. The real highlight, though, was the watershed—a beautifully maintained building featuring a half bath, a full bath with a standing shower, and a small but impressively stocked kitchenette. It had everything we could possibly need (and more!), and stepping inside felt like coming home after a long day of hiking and exploring. What made this stay even more special was the location. Nestled on private property right in the middle of Rocky Gap State Park, we had easy access to everything the park offers—without the crowds or the hassle of public campground facilities. And if I could give this stay six stars, I would—thanks entirely to our incredible host. She was kind, responsive, and truly went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. Her hospitality made our trip unforgettable. We can’t wait to come back!

Weekend Trip to WonderWoods at Rocky Gap

Beautiful location and cabin! Everything about the experience was well thought out. Everything we needed was at our fingertips and the cabin was adorable and cozy. Really loved the tiny wood stove! Can't wait to return!

7 nights at Comus Sky Farm

We haven’t found a better host anywhere across the country! Juanita is super responsive and respectful and her property is absolutely beautiful! We would highly recommend a stay here! Add a night or 2 to appreciate the beauty around!!

Weekend Trip to Taylors Landing Camping Club

Greg was a great host! Communicated transparently and was there for anything we needed. Will be coming back! Our three kids under 6 LOVED IT!

Weekend Trip to HUNTER'S PARK BY WASHINGTON, DC

This place is amazing!!! We went with a three- and one-year-old, and they LOVED the horses and other animals, creek, and playground (with a trampoline!), and were entertained the whole time. Our dogs enjoyed the creek as well and had plenty of room to explore. Each site has string lights (which is such a nice touch) and a sink (which is so convenient). There is a large site for groups that looked a lot of fun. The directions and instructions were all very clear, and the host Keith checked in with us personally to ensure we had a good time. We will definitely be staying here again and are so happy with this site!

2 nights at Maple Grove Farm

I have stayed at Edwin's farm many times and it doesn't dissapoint. This time was no different. It is super convienient, very quiet and just the exact experience you would want when you need to get away.

1 night at Blase ‘n Love Forest

Beautiful again and so kind and helpful, they set the area up for us before we arrived when we were coming in late are just tremendously thoughtful, i love this site and it has such a spectacular view while also being easy to get to and set up (even in the dark 😆) located in a quiet area, we saw some bats and heard some owls and i love hearing the train in the distance as well !

Great place to stay! I stay there twice a year when I travel!

1 night at Riverside Farm by the Monocacy

this spot has the most spectacular sunset views!!

The host met us at the gate and was very friendly and accommodating. Since the location wasn't full he gave us a choice of whatever site we liked. He stopped over and made sure we had everything very needed and gave us directions to the bike path. We very much enjoyed talking with him and would definitely stay again! Very secluded and quiet.

7 nights at Comus Sky Farm

This stay was the perfect stay. The only thing I wish is to have had more time here. It was everything and more. Juanita is the best host, she went above and beyond and over succeeded past my expectations. I was greeted with a gift that I’ll always appreciate. Comus Sky farm is beautiful. It has everything you need. She has a beautiful Airbnb on the property I’m definitely coming back to book another stay.

Weekend Trip to 1850's Greenock Farm, plus 4WD site

Randy gave good directions to find the spots. We stayed by the tractor shed since all we wanted was a base to go into Annapolis. The other sites had even better views and isolation, but we had what we wanted. It was very quiet and easy in/out.

5 nights at Stegan Farm

Scott was a great host! The site was private and quiet! Great place to escape city life without going far!

3 nights at Happy Heart Highlands and Alpacas

Spent 3 nights at the Alpaca site. Had a great time. Set up about 6 feet from the fence line and had Alpaca TV my whole stay. Easy to get to Harpers Ferry. No sewer hookup but the KOA is very close and allows anyone to use their dump site for $20. Great communication from host Kim both before and during stay.

Weekend Trip to Taylors Landing Camping Club

Great spot along the C&O canal. Large site. Host was great, let us move sites due to large group next to our original site.

3 nights at Fiddlers Green Farm

We had an awesome time. We stayed on the bear creek side and it was better then we thought. Very clean and plenty of wood. The owner treated us to an unexpected "bonfire". Lol.. lol. We were able to relax near the creek and set up the tents just 20 ft from the creeks edge. Hopper(the dog) was cool too, he checked on us a few times. The owner was great, very responsive, very laid back, very cool. We will definitely book again. And most importantly, the bathroom was super clean and toilet paper and wet wipes stocked.

Weekend Trip to Hawkwood Farm

Private, comfortable, scenic spot. Hosts were very helpful

Riverside Farm by the Monocacy

7 sites · Tents30 acres · Walkersville, MD

PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE DESCRIPTION BEFORE BOOKING... 30 acres of mostly reclaimed farmland. We are located where Glade Creek flows into the Monocacy River. There is evidence of civil war activity here and the old river ford is on our property. Creek and river access make this a beautiful, peaceful place that is full of life. The energy here is overwhelmingly positive. Our house was built in the 1850s and the neighboring farm was built shortly after—lots of history on this property. You will be able to camp right next to Glade Creek which is always cool, clean, and refreshing. Our goal with opening the land up for camping is to eventually phase out commercial farming on the property and transform it into woodlands using native plants and trees. We've already started by planting hundreds of native tree species along the creek and river banks. Each camper gets us closer to that goal! Thanks for your support! See our map in the gallery for a complete overview of our property including site locations. Please note that you will need to drive back through the crossing to access the portable toilet. Property occasionally floods. Zero flash floods, just slow river overflow. Check this site for flooding info. https://water.weather.gov/ahps2/hydrograph.php?gage=fdkm2 Flood stage is 15 feet.

Happy Heart Highlands and Alpacas

3 sites · RVs, Tents160 acres · Rohrersville, MD

Peaceful camping with privacy on a 160-acre historic farm! Minutes from Harpers Ferry, Antietam Battlefield and the C&O Canal to name a few. We are within an hour of Gettysburg and within an hour and a half of DC if you're planning a day trip. We have a prime central location with close access to so many things to do. This beautiful property is nestled in a narrow valley between Elk Ridge and South Mountain with incredible sunrises, sunsets and starlit night skies. Walk out to the fishing pond, or follow the trails around the pastures to meet the cattle grazing in our pastures. We have Scottish Highlands and Black Angus grazing as well as Alpacas. We also have beautiful peacocks on the property. We are a working farm so expect to see tractors and you may even see us baling hay or tending to the cattle. You may smell some animal smells which we work at keeping to a minimum but again, we are a working farm. It’s a true farm experience. Also, please keep in mind that during warm weather you may encounter some bugs. Gnats and flies are always a possibility and of course at times they can be worse than others. That can always be a possibility when camping or being outdoors. Bring bug spray, citronella and anything else to help with insects. If you stay by the pond you may hear frogs which personally I enjoy hearing but some may not. Consider bringing a generator and run a fan if you think the sound might bother you or some way to block sounds. We enjoy talking to our guests so feel free to stop us for a chat. At the RV sites you have 30 and 50 amp power as well as water. All the water spickets are potable and drinkable.

Riverside Farm by the Monocacy

7 sites · Tents30 acres · Walkersville, MD

PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE DESCRIPTION BEFORE BOOKING... 30 acres of mostly reclaimed farmland. We are located where Glade Creek flows into the Monocacy River. There is evidence of civil war activity here and the old river ford is on our property. Creek and river access make this a beautiful, peaceful place that is full of life. The energy here is overwhelmingly positive. Our house was built in the 1850s and the neighboring farm was built shortly after—lots of history on this property. You will be able to camp right next to Glade Creek which is always cool, clean, and refreshing. Our goal with opening the land up for camping is to eventually phase out commercial farming on the property and transform it into woodlands using native plants and trees. We've already started by planting hundreds of native tree species along the creek and river banks. Each camper gets us closer to that goal! Thanks for your support! See our map in the gallery for a complete overview of our property including site locations. Please note that you will need to drive back through the crossing to access the portable toilet. Property occasionally floods. Zero flash floods, just slow river overflow. Check this site for flooding info. https://water.weather.gov/ahps2/hydrograph.php?gage=fdkm2 Flood stage is 15 feet.

Camping in Maryland guide

Overview

From Atlantic beaches to Appalachian Mountains, Chesapeake fishing villages to sprawling state parks―Maryland serves up plenty of variety, and campers won’t have to search far to find a campground, cabin, or glampsite. Whether you’re vacationing along the Chesapeake Bay, hiking and backcountry camping in the northern mountains, or driving your RV along Scenic Byways, there’s an adventure to suit all tastes. Summer is the busiest time to visit, when crowds hit the beach resorts along the Atlantic coast, but the mild temperatures of spring and fall are ideal for camping and outdoor activities. Winters are cold and snowy, so opt for a cozy cabin rental instead.

Where to go

Western Maryland

Misty mountain peaks, dense forests, and sparkling lakes await in Western Maryland, which stretches from Hagerstown to Deep Creek Lake. Follow the Mountain Maryland scenic byway through the Allegheny Mountains, rent a canal boat along the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, or go whitewater rafting in Swallow Falls State Park. Seasonal highlights include the fall foliage hikes around Oakland, summer swimming and boating on Deep Creek Lake, and hitting the ski slopes in McHenry.

Central Maryland

Sitting pretty between Appalachian peaks and Chesapeake Bay shores, Maryland’s capital region has outdoor escapes within easy reach of both Baltimore and Washington D.C. Take your RV on a drive through history along the Historic National Road, running all the way from Baltimore into the western mountains; hike a 40-mile stretch of the Appalachian Trail; or enjoy wine tasting along the Piedmont Wine Trail. Camping favorites include the Cunningham Falls and Susquehanna state parks.

South Maryland

Picturesque coastal towns, Civil War sites, and golf courses pepper the western shore of Chesapeake Bay, where you can enjoy fishing, birding, and oyster tasting to your heart’s content. Snag a riverside campsite along the Potomac River, enjoy beachside walks in the Point Lookout State Park, or hunt for fossils in the Calvert Cliffs State Park.

Eastern Shore

Vacationers flock to Ocean City, where there are enough sandy beaches, golf courses, and boardwalk amusements to keep you busy all summer long. Nearby, there are beachside campgrounds and herds of wild horses to admire at Assateague Island National Seashore, or you can head over to the Chesapeake Bay shore to paddle around the marshes, enjoy birdwatching in the Blackwater National Wildlife, or rent a rustic cabin at Janes Island State Park.
