As primitive as you can get in Maryland but with a casino

I stayed at Rocky Gap State Park by myself for two nights in August 2016. At no point did I ever feel unsafe. Tucked away in the mountains between Hagerstown and Cumberland, it provides a lake to swim & boat in, hilly & flat hiking trails, an aviary to view rescued birds & reptiles, and a wide variety of educational interpretive programs. One of my favorite parts about this park is that the day use beach & the beach campers have access to are separate. I believe this is a great way to spread out all of the mayhem that comes with summertime swims. The only downside to the park is that the interstate is close by so you can hear the nighttime traffic, which in my experience included many passing semis. Be advised that the casino is not a part of the park but instead a piggy back onto the resources the park has to offer. Of course it is a plus to some, an eye sore for others.
