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.

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 itβs 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.

Lovely, well-maintained campground nestled in a pine forest and near a salt water canal. Plenty of outdoor activities for the entire family, including fishing, crabbing, trails to explore, a boat launch too. Most of the campsites are groomed and level. The A loop is more rustic than B loop and C loop, but A loop is closet to the boat launch and playground. Cabin rentals are also available. Wifi at the camp store. Super clean bath facilities and the water is hot. A mix of electric and non-electric sites. Sites do not have water or sewer. There is a dump station and dumpsters are located at each end of the park. All water spigots are accessible with potable water; a drinking water spigot is at the dump station, clearly marked as such. The mosquitoes and biting flies bite hard. Be sure to bring repellent. We camped here over 4th of July weekend, and it was
quiet compared to other places we've camped.
