    Several state parks in the western Maryland region offer cabin accommodations for visitors seeking a rustic experience with basic amenities. Deep Creek Lake State Park provides mini cabins with electricity but no running water, featuring sleeping arrangements that include futon beds, double beds, and bunk beds. "The cabin was impressively clean, and the beds were very cozy. There are blackout curtains on the windows, so we slept late and it was glorious," noted a visitor about Swallow Falls cabins. Rocky Gap State Park also offers mini cabins with electricity and furnishings but requires campers to use the nearby bathhouse facilities for toilets and showers.

    Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. New Germany State Park provides year-round cabin rentals with varying levels of amenities, from basic rustic structures to more modern accommodations with indoor plumbing. Swallow Falls State Park features one-room cabins that can accommodate families with multiple bed configurations. Most cabins require advance reservations, particularly during summer months when occupancy rates are highest. A review mentioned that "the mini cabins each have electricity but no bathroom or running water. Ours had a futon, folding table, double bed and bunk beds."

    Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Cooking facilities vary significantly between locations, with some offering only outdoor fire rings with grill grates while others provide indoor kitchen amenities. Camp stores at Deep Creek Lake, Swallow Falls, and Rocky Gap sell essential supplies including firewood, ice, and basic camping necessities. The Blue Moon Rising cabins near Deep Creek Lake offer more upscale accommodations with electric hookups, sewer connections, showers, and toilets, providing a higher level of comfort for those seeking a less primitive cabin experience.

      Swallow Falls State Park Campground

      Beautiful area with a waterfall hike

      Lovely little campground in a beautiful forest, with a great waterfall hike walkable to the campground. I stayed in Garrett in October and it was still packed full of people, which for me was nice because I like feeling like I'm in a community of campers. But the sites were super close together, basically right now the main drag, not very private, especially without leaf cover, and a little smaller than I expected. But well kept, in more forest than I was expecting, and I enjoyed myself. The canyon trail was mobbed, but it was a stunning weekend so that's not surprising. Bathrooms in the offseason could have used a bit more attention, but they weren't too bad.

      The Cove Campground

      Excellent Campground

      Was 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.

      Rocky Gap State Park Campground

      Quiet campground with private sites

      This quiet campground has plenty of wooded campsites that offer privacy to campers. We were in the electric loop and it can be a bit tight if your rig is larger, and also you need to be prepared to level your rig in several different directions. But all in all, it was a great spot for an overnight day and we even got to check out some of the trails. Very nice park overall.

      Coopers Rock State Forest- McCollum Campground

      Beautiful location

      The spots are spread out and the trees are beautiful. The people are so nice. The drive in is tight narrow lanes. We stayed one night at #49, pull through with water and electric, no sewer. We booked #43 but Becky moved us to 49 cuz it’s more level.

      Kentuck Campground — Ohiopyle State Park

      Restrooms, showers and visitor center get an F

      Stayed one night. Close to Fallingwater and Fort Necessity.  The campsite was terrible; close to water and buggy, steep grade required lots of blocking to level the camper and challenging to hook up to the vehicle. Thick canopy kept Starlink from working. The worst part was the bathrooms. The one closest to our spot had no hot water. So we had to walk about a half a mile to two other restrooms and showers within 100 yards of each other. Makes no sense. Anyway, both bathrooms were filthy, had paint peeling everywhere, lots of black mold growing on the ceilings, growing everywhere. No place to hang clothes while taking a shower. One of the two toilets in each of the men’s room was probably 3 feet off the ground. Made for giants I guess!  And good luck finding the visitor center. It’s hidden from view and parking is terrible.  You’ll have to walk 150 yards from the nearest point of the parking lot to find it. To walk there from the bus and RV parking, add an additional 1/4 mile each way. Be aware that the visitor center store does not accept credit cards. Cash or check only. Who does that? It’s 2026 Pennsylvania!

      Well maintained

      The sites and roads are well maintained. Some sites are on hilly roads but are acceptable for tenters. The bathhouse is older but the showers are hot. August 2026

    Guide to Bloomington

    Bloomington sits within the Appalachian Mountains of western Maryland, surrounded by rugged terrain and dense forests at elevations ranging from 1,500 to 3,000 feet. The area experiences four distinct seasons with warm summers and cold, snowy winters that create varied camping conditions throughout the year. Cabin rentals near Bloomington, Maryland provide shelter during unexpected mountain weather changes that can occur even in summer months.

    What to Do

    Waterfall hiking trails: At Swallow Falls State Park, trails lead to Maryland's highest waterfall. "The trail between Swallow Falls and Herrington Manor is nice, but the much shorter main trail within SFSP itself is awesome. Muddy Creek Falls - the main attraction of the state park and the highest waterfall in Maryland - is the main reason to do the hike," notes Danielle V.

    Lake swimming: Lake areas provide summer cooling options with designated swimming zones. "The lake has a small beach and the water is always cool," reports Bill G. about New Germany State Park, making it perfect for hot summer days.

    Winter sports: Many parks transform for cross-country skiing during winter months. "The park is very popular amongst cross-country skiers in the winter, especially since they have full-service cabins and a warming hut by the lake," shares Jen V. about the New Germany State Park cabin accommodations.

    What Campers Like

    Bear-proof facilities: Each campsite at Deep Creek Lake State Park comes with wildlife protection. "Bears are common so they emplaced a big old bear box at every site. It's enough room to hold your food for a month of camping!" Jonathan F. explains, noting how the park addresses wildlife concerns.

    Clean bathhouses: Facility cleanliness stands out at many campgrounds. "The bathrooms were quite possibly the cleanest camp bathrooms I've ever come across. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better first experience there," reviews Lee Anne H.

    Natural water slides: Unique water features provide natural recreation spots. "Aside from the rock water slide, which is burned into the kid's memories, there's great, easy hiking trails and a pet-friendly campsite," shares Erin H. about Ohiopyle State Park.

    What You Should Know

    Cell service limitations: Many campgrounds have minimal connectivity. "Note that there is very little to no cell phone reception in the park, so combined with the lack of hookups, this is definitely an unplugged, 'connect with nature' type of camping experience," explains Jen V. about New Germany State Park.

    Alcohol restrictions: Pennsylvania and some Maryland state parks prohibit alcohol. "This campground is in a PA state park. Alcohol is not allowed in any PA State Parks," notes Tracy B. about Ohiopyle State Park, adding that "Rangers are vigilant about patrolling."

    Tent pad sizing: Some parks provide inaccurate measurements online. "There are two loops- one pet friendly, one not. The larger (not pet friendly) loop is nearer the lake. Some of the sites are close together, some are not as large as they are made out to be on the reservation site," explains Bill G. about New Germany State Park.
