The Best Camping Near Berkeley Springs, West Virginia

campground down a long winding road. Lots of seasonal spots and TONs of golf carts, people are permitted to bring their own. We went for a Halloween weekend. The site was easy to get in/out of but the temp in Oct was a brutal 88! For Halloween, there’s a costume contest and trick or treating, but it was pretty quiet. The price was right and the location was fairly convienient. There is hiking at the canal and a nice restaurant/ice cream parlor called Buddy Lou’s. The campground is about 20 mins from Berkley Springs WV which offers a beautiful state park and hiking! Don’t forget the Apple Butter festival in Oct!

Lots of golf carts 

Relaxing 

So this is my second time at Happy Hills Campground in Hancock, MD from June 25th-28th. It being relatively close to the home is the reason for choosing it because of doctor appts for the kids. 

The site I was in (F1) was really small and very close to the neighboring site. We got lucky no one was camping next to us. It had full hook-ups (30amp/water/sewer) and a pull thru site with picnic table and fire ring. It was $40/night. This campground is mainly for monthly site rentals with more than 3/4 of them permanent sites. 

Lots of golf cart and ATV traffic with no quiet hours that I am aware of. We weren't informed the pool would be open and you had to sign up for two hour timeslots to get in. This must have been information only available to the regulars here. Also cell service (Sprint roaming most of the time) is terrible and the campground wifi is spotty at best. The camp store was closed due to COVID so if needed anything you had to go to town. 

Bathrooms were clean. Never checked out the showers but heard they were free.

Overall, I wasn't a happy camper. I don't think I will be back.

Lots of regulars

Stayed here with friends on their first camping trip. Kids enjoyed the pool.
  Trail to get to the rail trail was steep &amp; not very nice.

Okay campground 

Stayed at site A55 pull through, big roomey site with a gentle slope. Quite through the week, the weekend (it was Harley weekend up at Little Orleans Campground) we got the overflow. But with more people it's going to be noisy. Brenda thoroughly enjoyed the huge pool. Lots of trails around, Molly and I got a lot of walking in. No cell service for us, wifi is OK I recon depends on the load on it. All in all it is a very nice family Campground, we will return.

Nice Campground 

Wonderful people, good amenities, our kids had a great time!!

Wonderful

Our stay was great. Our site was gravel, clean and pretty flat and level. Now, this place has the amenities of a resort, but the feeling of a campground. With that being said, it does cater to many seasonal, long term sites where the campers do not ever move their RV. All of the people were super friendly, both the staff and the long-term campers. We were here during the week and it was super quite. I can see the weekend being a bit louder, but that is every campground. You are about a mile hike from the Western Maryland Rail Trail.or short 5min or sondrive to the C&amp;O Canal Towpath. Both are very pleasant ways to spend your time if you're not using the amenities at the campground (pool, volleyball, basketball, mini-golf). There is a store that is pretty fairly priced for many items and a food service area that is only open on weekends (seems to not be busy during the week).
The only negative would be that because most of the campers are seasonal/long-term, they all have golf carts or 4-wheelers that they ride around on and that can get old quick. 
I would say that it is well worth the cost and if you needed a place to stay, worth giving them a shot.
