The best camping near Crisfield with swimming

·

In Crisfield, campers who want easy access to swimming have over 900 spots to choose from. You’ll find campsites along creeks, tucked behind orchards, and close to Chesapeake Bay’s tidal flats. Average rates sit around $75 a night, but you can snag a spot for as little as $12 if you’re quick. Top-rated choices include Kingsley Orchards, LLC (229 reviews), The Guinea Farm, Field, and Forest (202 reviews), and Shine & Rise Magic Food Forest (117 reviews). Most sites offer toilets, allow campfires, and welcome pets. Swimming’s the main draw, but you’ll spot herons, cast a line, or watch the sun drop behind marsh grass if you hang around. Bring a towel and your sense of adventure—water access is easy to find, and the Eastern Shore air always smells like salt and summer.

Our farm started as a soy field and has since exploded into a biodiverse forest of fruit and nut trees, vegetables, mushrooms, and more. The land is designed to mimic the strengths of a natural ecosystem so we plant to replicate the forest edge... except everything is edible. Think Willy Wonka's factory but with plants:)

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.

Pitch your tent or park your RV on our historic 36-acre blueberry farm. Picnic tables, charcoal grills, and fire pits are located on lots. We are a newly renovated farm that has an almost 60-year history. Very close to Delaware and Ocean City Beaches! Our property is also monitored by security cameras. Once owned by Tom Ryan and part of the 100+ acres of Ryan's Berry Farm, Kingsley Orchards now owns the middle 36 acres and market building of the historic farm. Efforts paid off and the farm and market opened in June 2017 with a beautiful crop of blueberries and many multi-generational customers coming back with their children. The best outcome has been the opportunity to share growing food with children and helping them learn a love for outdoors and farming. Many of the customers remember their own grandparents bringing them to the farm! We had customers from age 1 to 89 picking blueberries We also offer a climate controlled venue for weddings, birthday parties, & any other events. Cypress Winds (302-362-1036)
