Gambrill
Reviewed May. 26, 2019

Nice hikes, convenient, so-so grounds

First off, this park is extremely convenient to get to. So considering that convenience, the downsides may be a worthy trade-off ... it's still trees and trails and wonderful. For example, this site was an excellent meeting place for me and a friend coming from DC and Baltimore - right between us, and just off the highway.

Some very nice stretches of trails, and were empty as I saw them. Though they do cross over major roads.

Site host and ranger came by - and were very nice - though all things considered I like parks when you don't really see anyone.

Sites offer almost no seclusion or oneness with nature. I believe we got the most secluded site (site 16, and thank you to the other reviewer for the heads up) but still very exposed to neighbors and roads.

Site16 (looked to be best site)
