15 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Several RV parks surround Keedysville, Maryland, offering varied options for motorhome travelers. Harpers Ferry/Civil War Battlefields KOA in West Virginia operates year-round with big-rig friendly sites featuring full hookups and 50-amp service, though sites are notably close together. Brunswick Family Campground, located in Maryland along the Potomac River, provides 30/50-amp electric service with full hookups from March through November. Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park in Williamsport offers spacious RV sites with 50-amp service and full hookups in a family-oriented setting. Gettysburg Campground in Pennsylvania features level gravel pull-through sites with full hookup capabilities from April to November. "Our site was big enough for our motor home and Jeep. Full hook-ups with 50-amp service," noted one RV camper about their experience at a Gettysburg area campground.
Fall and summer weekends fill quickly at most RV parks in the region, particularly during October when Halloween events are common. Cell service varies significantly between campgrounds, with Verizon generally providing better coverage than other carriers. Many parks offer on-site dump stations, though not all sites include sewer hookups. Water connections at some parks are placed in underground pits to prevent freezing, which can make hookups challenging for some RV setups. Pet-friendly policies are standard across most campgrounds, though specific dog areas vary in quality and size. Propane service is available at larger RV resorts, and camp stores stock essential RV supplies. Navigation to certain parks requires careful planning, as some access roads feature tight turns that can be difficult for larger motorhomes to navigate.
"Off-season so not crowded. Pool was clean and quite good sized, had it to ourselves due to season. Did laundry while here, ample laundry room."
"We were looking for a semi-local final fall get-a-way near us. What better location for that than Gettysburg."
"There seem to be a lot of seasonal campers but everyone was extremely nice and welcoming. We had a pull-through site with W/S/E, which made dumping, etc much easier that pulling to a dump site."
"It’s a nice campground with a lot of amenities for all. Everyone whom I had contact with that had season sites were very friendly and provided some good info."
"We brought our paddle boards and river access was super easy. Freshwater hookup and electrical hookup were convenient (and the water tasted great :)."
"The campground offers adventures like rafting, biking, tubing and zip lining to name a few."
"The store is very small and it’s in a travel trailer so there’s not much selection there is ice and firewood for sale."
"Our spot was on the river with a short walk to the boat ramp and access. It was very quiet, serene, & clean. Dog-friendly (seemed like everyone had a dog) and downtown was a short bike ride away."
from $10 - $90 / night
"Well-maintained camp area offers year-round camping and hiking. Water is available all year long, but bathhouses are closed off-season. Portable facilities are available during winter camping."
"Deer Spring Loop is near the top of the mountain. This is not a pet friendly loop.
Site 112 is level, mostly shaded, backs up to the woods and has electric.
The site is between two cabins."
from $23 - $29 / night
"Great location for exploring Harpers Ferry. Right next to the highway but the noise doesn’t bother us."
from $50 / night
"Great Park, friendly staff, clean facilities. We stayed with our Pop Up for two nights at an electric -supported site. Portable water and dumping station located at the camp store."
"We stayed in site #133 with our 34'10" travel trailer/toy hauler. Overall, we really like the site. It's spacious, fairly level, heavily wooded, and feels surprisingly private."

"The mother's earth organic farm has a prime location right by the Appalachian trail and a farm full of nature to experience and animals all over. "
from $40 - $60 / night
GuideGreat campsite. Fire pit, picnic table, swimming pool ( not open), miniature golf course, laundromat, bathrooms, showers, dump station, gathering areas for groups, playground, and even a horse area and stalls for horses. Dog friendly. Staff was very helpful and curious.
GuideWhere we were camping had blown up their dump station. Artillery Ridge helped us out. $10. to dump. If we come to camp in Gettysburg, it will be hear.
GuideYou just can't beat a pennsylvania park. This one is not an exception. Nice clean restroom, plenty of room. Now, what cost a star. Yes, it rained like hell. When we broke camp and go dump. The dump station was overflowing with sewer. Go to the guard shack to tell them, and find another site. None there. Can I go to an unused full hookup to dump? No! I would have to pay for the site. Two hours later, we found a place to dump for $10.
ScoutWas looking for a last-minute getaway on a busy weekend, and they seemed the best option. I've always associated private campgrounds with crowding and sites on top of each other. I couldn't have been more wrong about The Cove. There is more wooded space between sites than in many National Parks.
Some sections are best accessed via 4WD, which I think is a great way to keep things from getting too crowded.
Such a huge diversity of types of sites, from lakeside to wooded, to open fields. They have something for everyone.
The bathrooms are ok. Other than the shower area and the reception, most toilets are pit toilets. If you want to be walking distance to showers, make sure to book sites near them. For most sites, it's going to be a hike or a drive.
And on top of that, they have a beach for the kids, boat rentals, and a range.
This was our first visit, but we will definitely be coming back.
GuideThis pet friendly campground in Caledonia State Park is .8 miles from the larger Chinquapin campground (no pets), ranger station and swimming pool. Our site #171 was level, paved, full hook ups and next to modern clean bathrooms with flush toilets, warm showers and outside dish washing sinks. Many available sites with and without services on a Sunday in October. There were a good number of friendly, tidy, long term campers with large wall tents. (They allow 21 day stays after Labor Day)
Scout15 free relatively level sites for smaller rigs and tent camping. Fire rings , picnic tables and some have lantern posts. There are 2 somewhat clean pit toilets.
ScoutBeautiful area. Very primitive, which is great. Roads were fairly decent to the campsite. Didn't stay near the water and no mountain view but still nice. Had a nice trail into the woods.
ScoutWe stayed in site #133 with our 34'10" travel trailer/toy hauler. Overall, we really like the site. It's spacious, fairly level, heavily wooded, and feels surprisingly private. There's plenty of room around the camper, and although there are other campsites and cabins nearby, the trees provide a lot of separation. We had a nice large area for our chairs, fire pit, picnic table, and dogs. The biggest thing to know about #133 is the approach. We were instructed to pass the site, go around the loop, and then make a left turn into it. With our nearly 35' trailer, that would have required an extremely tight, almost 90-degree turn between the trees, and we did not feel we could safely make it. There is actually visible damage on one of the trees at the entrance, so it appears others may have had difficulty with the turn as well. Instead, we approached from the opposite direction and positioned the camper with our doors facing the main campsite area. That put the water and electric hookups on the opposite side, but our hoses and cord were long enough to run underneath the camper and reach without a problem. Once we figured that out, the site worked very well for us. I initially thought we probably wouldn't choose #133 again because of the awkward setup, but after spending the weekend here, I would. Now that we know how to approach and position our trailer, it really is a nice site. If you're bringing a longer travel trailer, just be prepared to do a little maneuvering and make sure your water hose and electrical cord have enough length if you decide to orient your camper the way we did.
ScoutThe campground is a nice size with enough space between sites to feel as though you have some privacy.
We reserved site 4 online but someone had set up there when we arrived. Site 6 was open and it had a better view anyway and was farther away from the toilets, so we didn’t mind.
The boat launch is right there which we planned to paddle board in the morning, but got rained out. The river looks really nice and clean though.
Tables and fire pits are a great size. We saw some gorgeous stars as there isn’t any light pollution.
It’s only half hour from Berkeley Springs, so fill up your spring water for free there and then come enjoy the campsite!
Will definitely return.
Camping near Keedysville, Maryland offers a distinct experience in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains at elevations ranging from 400-600 feet. The region experiences four distinct seasons, with most campgrounds accessible from March through November when temperatures average 55-85°F during camping season. Summer nights typically remain in the mid-60s, creating comfortable sleeping conditions in tents and RVs alike.
Hiking the C&O Canal path: The historic Chesapeake & Ohio Canal towpath runs directly through Brunswick Family Campground, providing miles of flat terrain for walking or biking. "The C&O canal [allows] you to walk or bike for miles in either direction for hours! Harpers Ferry is only 6 miles away on the trail," notes Susan K. at Brunswick Family Campground.
River activities: Many campsites provide direct access to the Potomac River. "The Shenandoah is just as beautiful. The showers could use a good cleaning but they are typical Campground showers perfect for the campground life," shares Brian S. about his experience at Brunswick Family Campground.
Historical exploration: Civil War history surrounds the area with multiple battlefields within short driving distance. "The hike that leads to the lookout about harpers ferry was fantastic. This hike takes you well above the town settled in West Virginia," explains Anthony S. from Harpers Ferry Campground.
Riverside camping: Many campgrounds offer sites with direct water views or access. "All spots are along the water. We love walking and having a nice walk right from our campsite is a big bonus," shares Mikala S. who stayed at Harpers Ferry Campground, paying "$29 a night" for riverside camping.
Water activities for children: Families appreciate dedicated water features at Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park. "A great water park, playground and bounce pad feature. Definitely recommend for families and/or anyone looking for easy convenience camping," writes Beth C. The campground now features a lazy river which campers look forward to each season.
Proximity to attractions: Location near major historic sites allows for flexible day trips. "Harpers Ferry National Historical Park Visitor Center is literally next door. Harpers Ferry Lower Town and Bolivar Heights are a few minutes by car (or shuttle from the Visitor Center)," notes Matt S. who stayed at Harpers Ferry Civil War Battlefields KOA.
Train noise: Several campgrounds near Keedysville sit close to active rail lines. "Between the train and the crummy, smelly, understocked facilities, I will never be back here. Even if that was a really nice river view," cautions Sherri C. about her experience at Harpers Ferry Campground, noting that "trains that come through here almost hourly."
Site spacing varies significantly: Some campgrounds pack sites tightly together. "Sites have reasonable spacing with gravel pads, mostly level. Trees between sites with sloping hills, not just a big open field," reports John L. about Round Top Campground.
Weather impacts: Spring rainfall can create drainage issues at some campgrounds. "The mouths of the metal culverts in our loop were bent downward from campers driving over them, which obstructed the flow. Result was lots of standing water at our campsite," shares Stuart O. about his experience camping during rainy weather.
Pool access importance: Children enjoy dedicated swimming areas, particularly during hot summer months. "The pool was clean and roomy. We enjoyed hours hanging out there. They had activities for kids," comments Jeremy K., noting this was the highlight of an otherwise crowded campground experience.
Activity scheduling: Many rv campgrounds near Keedysville, Maryland offer organized events for children. "The campground offers free mini golf, a pool and a splash pad pool area. The yard sale, vendor sale, golf cart parade, as well as other activities going on," observes Laure D. at Drummer Boy Camping Resort.
Playground access: Consider campground layout when booking with young children. "There's only 1 playground, it was all the way at the front of the campground (we had to drive to it) and it was very junky and run down. In a campground that size I would expect at least 2 playgrounds," warns Chelsea about Drummer Boy Camping Resort.
Campsite leveling: Many RV sites in the Keedysville region require leveling equipment. "Our Pull-thru FHU Patio site (#199) had a serious slope. It was impossible to level my 45' motorhome without elevating the front wheels dangerously in the air," cautions Matt S. about Harpers Ferry Civil War Battlefields KOA.
Golf cart popularity: Several larger campgrounds have heavy golf cart traffic. "Everyone here pretty much has golf carts & drives them everywhere. For some places within the campground, it's hard to find regular car/truck parking," observes Sabrina H. at Gettysburg Campground.
Off-season considerations: Many RV campgrounds near Keedysville operate seasonally with limited amenities in shoulder seasons. "We camped here in May for Memorial Day weekend... There is a large seasonal section and lots of activities. A yard sale, vendor sale, golf cart parade, as well as other activities going on," reports Laure D. who appreciated the variety at Drummer Boy Camping Resort.
