Janes Island Water Trails

I stayed for two nights with a party of 3 in a 4 person tent at site 43 in A loop (no electric). It was on top of a water spicket which was convenient and the bathroom was close. It was, however, too close to the busy parking lot and camp store for my liking but that also meant proximity to the waterway. The camp was strict about staying on the camp pad which I think would be tough to fit three tents on with two cars at most of the sites. I had a pretty curt conversation with an older gentleman on the phone about using trees near a neighboring unoccupied camp site to hammock at, which wasn't very hospitable. Other than that my stay was great. The temperature controlled bathroom was clean and the showers were large and handicap accessible. People did comment the shower water took a while to heat up. There is a lookout tower overlooking the water and tons of beautiful walking paths located nearby. I was surprised the camp store was still doing kayak rentals so late into the fall season (October 18th). The firewood at the store was reasonably priced and burned great. Fair warning about the bugs. It wasn't too bad in late fall but still bring bug spray. Beautiful spot.

Been going to Jane's Island state park for over 50 years. I'll spare you the history. It is a very nice campground with mostly all sites with shade from old growth pines. Sites are a bit close for my liking but much better than most private parks. If you are a kayaker and enjoy tidal flats and creeks this place is great. The fishing is good summer through fall. Great place for sunsets. I have hundreds of great sunset pictures. Camp store is well stocked with basic needs. Cabins are reserved well in advance as are all sites on popular weekends so plan ahead. 5 minutes to Food Lion, 20 minutes to Walmart.

Beautiful campsite, a bit open and you can see through the other neighbor campers but who cares you are still camping. Its always fun camping, especially it is close to a Canal which people go kayaking/ boating. Like you walk a few feet and it’s there.
Bathroom is always cleaned. Very good accommodation but it is on the far side of Maryland. It was almost 4 hours away from us. But i would like to stay here much longer than 3 days so i can really enjoy it.
