Codorus State Park Campground
Hurricane camping
You 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.

Quiet & Dog friendly - 20minutes from Gettysburg Battfields
This 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)

Site #133 — Great site once you figure out the best way to get into it
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. 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.

Simple and friendly check in process. Clean and well-maintained site.

Decent campground in the middle of a urban area
Spent two nights while we saw the Avett Brothers play at Wolf Trap. Nice flat site with power. Campground was quiet and clean. The only negative is communication and signage. It took us a couple wrong turns to find our site and when we came back, after the concert around 11, the entrance gate was closed and we had to sneak in through the exit gate. Asked the next day and they said that is what campers do to access the park after 11pm.

Primitive feel with full hookups. I have a 22' trailer, and it fits fine. I hope you like trains. Plenty of them go by.

Gambrill State Park Campground
Great Camp Spot
This is a great camping spot. The sites aren’t too close together and the hosts are very friendly. The only reason I gave it four stars is because we are near a highway so you can hear cars throughout the night. But the crickets make up for it by being as loud as possible. With the fees, it cost $25 for a non-electric site and with access to showers after a long trek I was happy to pay.
Guide to Mount Airy
The Mount Airy area of Maryland offers a variety of camping options spanning from fully-developed RV parks to more rustic tent sites. Ramblin' Pines in nearby Woodbine provides year-round access with full hookup sites, cabin accommodations, and tent camping areas. Little Bennett Campground, located in Clarksburg approximately 15 miles from Mount Airy, features spacious wooded sites that accommodate tents, RVs, cabins, and glamping setups. The Garden, a smaller established campground with just five sites, offers a more intimate camping experience. These mixed-use campgrounds typically provide varying levels of amenities including electric hookups, drinking water, and shower facilities.
Most developed campgrounds in the region operate seasonally, with peak availability from April through October. Little Bennett Campground, Cunningham Falls State Park, and Greenbrier State Park all close for the winter season, limiting cold-weather camping options.

Several campgrounds enforce two-night minimum stays on weekends. Bathhouse access can be limited at certain campgrounds, with visitors noting accessibility challenges. According to one camper at Little Bennett: "Only 1 bathhouse per loop. Pay attention to where your site is located. You might be in for quite a hike to go to the bathroom, which is inconvenient in the early morning hours."
The camping experience near Mount Airy ranges from family-oriented campgrounds with numerous amenities to more secluded natural settings. Ramblin' Pines receives positive reviews for its recreational facilities including a fishing pond, swimming pool, mini-golf, and seasonal events. Campers at Little Bennett appreciate the spacious, private sites with "lots of vegetation between sites providing privacy from neighbors." However, site conditions can vary significantly across campgrounds. Some visitors mention challenges with tent pads, noting "the tent pad is gravel. While this might help with drainage, it makes it incredibly difficult to walk on and stake down your tent." Camp Winery, described as a "beautiful spot" for tent camping, offers proximity to local attractions while maintaining a natural setting. Most campgrounds in the area welcome pets, though specific rules regarding leashing and designated areas differ by location.
