Goose Creek Recreation Area

Fishing, paddling, and water access draw campers to Goose Creek Recreation Area, set within Naval Air Station Patuxent River in Maryland. The campground runs from February through November and provides electric hookups, drinking water, showers, and toilets, making it workable for both tents and big rigs. Sites can hold standing water after heavy rain, so low-lying ground may become saturated during wet stretches. Reservations are available, and pets are permitted. Other military-managed options nearby include Pax River Hog Point Campgrounds — Naval Airstation (Nas) Patuxent River, roughly a mile to the north. Access to the base requires valid military credentials, so confirm eligibility before booking.
