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.

This is a perfect place for kayaking. Free to launch if you bring your own yak. There is a park fee for day use of picnic areas. There are 2 kayak launchers... 1 by the rental station and one for general use. Jane's Island proper is just across the canal. You can't swim in the canal. However the beach is one mile paddle. BRING BUG SPRAY!!!
