With 15,000 wooded acres, Pocomoke River State Park’s claim to fame is its stand of loblolly pine and cypress swamps bordering a wild and scenic river. It’s divided into two parts, Shad Landing (south side) and Milburn Landing (north side), which are about a 25 minute drive apart. The combination of ecosystems means the park is home to a plethora of plant and animal life including white dogwood and pink laurel trees, river otters, bald eagles and over 50 species of fish.There is no shortage of traditional camping activities, but the park also boasts an Olympic-sized swimming pool in case you decide “I can’t take this no more," and make like Squints from the Sandlot. The park's name may mean black water, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t take your baby down to Pocomoke where you can get there fast and then take it slow.

It was a lovely site right on the marina. It was fun to watch boats come and go. The only negative thing about the site is that there’s a marina light that stays on all night — spot 3 is right in the path.

This site is a very special place. Cool bay breezes, awesome sunsets, friendly people and well off the beaten path. We enjoyed our week stay on marina site 2 in a 25ft RV. Site was level and comes with electric water and sewer, which is a huge plus when staying for an extended period. Walking access to Hooper's Island General store is very handy indeed. A small rural general store with practically any basics you would need. Leon and Katie were very responsive to our inquiries and quick to address any issue if needed. We will to return to this site in the future. Some things to know before you book: 1. This site is a small peninsula with water on 3 sides. If you have small children or cannot swim, this site may not be for you! 2. The area is very rural. If you are looking for daily activities outside of the site, you are are going to be driving at least 45 mins. NOTE: Assateague Island National Seashore is a good day trip! Blackwater Refuge is beautiful (and close too!) 3. If you have water toys (e.g. Kayak, Paddle board, Even small boat) this place is for you. Lots of opportunities to safely float & fish all around. 4. Bring Bug Spray! Katie and Leon fogged the site ahead of time for us and it was wonderful and the breeze keeps the skeeters at bay. However if no breeze and you are offsite, be prepared! 5. Enjoy the Music, Food and Tiki bar at Old Salty's! If you are looking for a quiet, rural & scenic location for your next HipCamp , then this camp is for you.

Weekend Trip to Sunset Pointe

We had a blast at Leon & Katie's campsite! Nature has made this the perfect piece of land to camp, but they have obviously spent a great deal of time and expended a great deal of effort to make it extra special! First of all, what a view! Water on 3 sides and an incredible sunset! The site was a bit off our path, but we decided to give it a go, especially since it is near the water. What a great decision that turned out to be! We didn't want to leave! The hosts recommended that, if we had time, we explore further onto the island. We decided to take the extra time. What an enjoyable drive! Just a beautiful area! We very highly recommend camping here. To add to the awesomeness of this site, the general store which is located at the entrance from the road has everything you could ever need, including a good meal. They had some crabby boiled eggs that were a delicious snack on the road! I promise you, this is the place you want to choose. I think it is our new favorite HipCamp. You'll be glad you chose to set up here!

Site is very natural and wild, which is lovely! However, there is no sign, and the road is overgrown, so be sure to arrive in daylight. Bring bug protection, as it is right by the water and loaded. We arrived at night and ended up calling the host for directions after being lost. She answered! She was very kind friendly helpful and informative. I look for.ward to returning to this zen oasis.
