About
Welcome to Houck - Cunningham Falls State Park, a gem nestled near Thurmont, MD. This campground is a fantastic spot for families and nature lovers alike. Open from April 1 to October 31, it offers a range of accommodations including tent sites, RV spots, cabins, and even glamping options.
One of the standout features here is the beautiful waterfall, which is a must-see. The hike to the falls is relatively easy and perfect for families with young kids. Speaking of kids, the swimming lake is a hit, especially since the roped-off area is shallow enough for little ones to splash around safely. There's also a playground by the lake, making it a great spot for a family day out.
The campground itself is well-maintained with clean bathrooms and showers. Each site comes with a fire ring and picnic table, and there's a camp store stocked with essentials and treats like hot drinks and ice cream. Pets are welcome, so feel free to bring your furry friends along.
For those who enjoy a bit of convenience, the campground offers electric hookups and drinking water. Firewood is available for purchase, so you can enjoy a cozy campfire without the hassle of bringing your own wood.
If you're looking to explore beyond the campground, there's a National Park right next door, home to Camp David. The nearby town of Thurmont is quaint and worth a visit, and there are vineyards and breweries in the area for a bit of local flavor.
Overall, Houck - Cunningham Falls State Park offers a blend of natural beauty and family-friendly amenities, making it a great choice for your next camping adventure.
