The best dog-friendly camping in Maryland

·

From the ocean to the mountains, there's plenty of nature to explore in Maryland—and there's no better way to do so than with your four-legged friends. Outdoor lovers who want to bring their pets along will find plenty of options in the Old Line State. Most Maryland state parks and national parks in the region are pet-friendly, and there are also a number of private dog-friendly camping options across the state. Camp with the wild horses—and your pup—on the beach in Assateague State Park, or head to Deep Creek Lake State Park, where dogs are welcome in the waters, trails, and some camping loops. Pets are also allowed in some cabins at Herrington Manor State Park and New Germany State Park, as well as in the campground and trails at Cunningham Falls State Park and Gambrill State Park, among others. Many private campgrounds and RV parks also offer pet-friendly options, in addition to extras like swimming pools, playgrounds, and wifi.
