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.

Janes Island Park is a beautiful place. Pine trees, bike trails, walking trails, beautiful sunsets. The campgrounds are spaced nice and wide.

Nice location for a retreat! The 2nd story work room at the Doughterty Lodge comes complete with large tables and chairs. The bunks are comfy. BYO pillows and linens. Kitchen is well equipped.
