East of Thurmont in Maryland's Catoctin Mountains, Crows Nest Campground operates seasonally from April through October on creek-side property. The facility accommodates RVs up to 40 feet with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer connections, plus a dump station for shorter stays.
Mixed reviews highlight significant maintenance concerns, with one long-term resident reporting broken water lines, non-functional bathhouse facilities, and infrastructure issues over a seven-year period. The campground combines tent sites with long-term RV residents along the creek. Basic amenities include picnic tables and fire rings, though campers should verify current facility conditions before arrival. Cunningham Falls State Park Manor Area sits two miles south for those seeking alternative camping options.
