    Trap Pond State Park Campground

    Yurt getaway!!

    We were able to get a yurt as a walk up after the office closed thanks to the help of a kind staff member. The yurt was cozy and had a waterfront view of the pond. They fit up to 5 people and are air conditioned, but you’ll need your own sheets, pillow, & blankets! The campground was well kept with some trails, views of the pond all around, a small play ground, several bath houses, and an activity spot with cornhole and ladder ball set up. Pets are allowed except in the cabins and yurts.

    If you like privacy the cabins and yurts provide plenty of it, and they do offer secluded island tent spots as well. The Reginald spots were a bit open and close to gether but they had electric and non electric available. There were canoe and kayak rentals for $10 an hour. Overall a fun place for the family. The only reason I gave it a 4 outta 5 is the fact that the bathrooms and showers were a bit dirty but other than that it was a great stay!!!

    Nice spot

    The campground seems a bit out of the way, but it’s in a great location if you want to get away from the more crowded parks nearby. The staff was extremely helpful and everything was clean. My only issue was not every spot had a fire pit, but other then that I highly recommend!

    Pocomoke River State Park Campground

    Amazing Grounds!

    Wow, stayed on this place en route up the East Coast and I was amazed! The bathrooms and cabins must have been new, or at least just renovated. The bathroom was almost like showering at a spa! Stainless steel, wood paneling, very clean. The cabins included ac/heater, ceiling fan, nice bed padding, and plastic chairs/table. The site also included a picnic table and fire pit. Pet friendly as we stayed with our golden retriever with a great view of the river. This campsite is a must stay, especially for glampers and probably a good choice for those who love ac/heating!

    Janes Island State Park Campground

    Underrated Park

    This park is a great underrated gem. It’s an eastern shore getaway without the hustle, bustle, and crowds of the ocean beaches. No beaches here, but instead you get miles upon miles of some of the best kayaking and canoeing on the Chesapeake. You are also minutes from Crisfield and some of the best seafood in the country.

    The campground is standard state park fare, but was clean and well maintained. Bathrooms were very clean, but could use some updating. Only saw a ranger a few times, but they were very friendly and helpful. Sites are relatively close together but not right on top of each other. Overall a great place more people should consider.

    Trap Pond State Park Campground

    Beautiful views and quiet campground

    For this visit, I stayed in one of their two yurts. The views were just gorgeous.

    The yurts have a bunk bed with a queen mattress on the bottom and a twin on top, as well as a futon that folds out into a queen. The bunks were very comfortable, but the futon was so hard we didn't even use it to sit on. The yurts also have electricity, heat and air, and are well equipped with other items such as: a trash can, broom and dustpan, standing lamp, two chairs, two small tables, a fire extinguisher, and two fly swatters.

    The views should be the huge selling point of this campground. When you walk out of the yurt, you walk onto your own raised wooden deck to beautiful views of Trap Pond. There are plenty of trees around for shade, but not so many that you can't enjoy the view. The trees also seclude you somewhat from your neighbors in the cabins, but you could interact if you wish.

    The closest restrooms to the cabin and yurt area are port-a-potties but they are currently prepping to build a bath house in this area.

    The cabins and yurts are walk up and wheelbarrows are provided. The walk is also pretty close. There is no running water, but there is a centrally located water pump.

    The campground offers a lot to do and quite a bit of it is free: free bike rentals, free horseshoes and ladder ball, two huge playground area and a nature center. They also have boat rentals and a boat tour available.

    We will definitely be visiting again!

    Jellystone Park™ Chincoteague Island

    Location trumps privacy

    We don’t always pick campgrounds for their spacious sites and scenic views. BUT we do pick them based on the outdoor activities we can do from the campground itself via bike riding or walking. Since we don’t bring a car location is very important to us.

    This private campground is in a fantastic location. Waking distance to stores, water slide park, kayaking, fishing/crabbing from bridges and Biking distance to Chincoteague Wildlife Refuge & Assateague Island National Seashore . There is even a complimentary trolley that will take you to the beach during the “in season”.

    You can rent kayaks and bikes from this resort. There is a pool, jumping pillow, and playground. The water park adjacent cost an additional fee. They have 3 day passes and after 3pm packages. (You May also get a discount from KOA front desk)

    The campground- tight and efficient with a lot of options for staying here from little cabins safari style tent cabins, rental Rv’s, grassy tent area to full hook up rv sites. We had a premium RV site and since we were here off season in late April- the campground was not super busy. Just expect that you will be in very close proximity of your neighbors and it will be loud and boisterous in the evening. Our solution?? Hike and Bike all day so you are exhausted. That way after dinner and a couple of glasses of wine... you really don’t care.

    We came here specifically to experience the Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge and Assateague Island VA National Seashore and the parks did not disappoint. We biked and hiked the the parks but you can easily enjoy a lot of the sites via car. Just know that pets are NOT allowed. There are Ubers in this area. Here is a link to the trail and park map.
    https://www.fws.gov/uploadedFiles/Region_5/NWRS/South_Zone/Chincoteague_Complex/Chincoteague/Chincoteague%20Refuge%20Trail%20Map%20(1).pdf

    There is a fee of $10 per car for 7 day pass. Bikers and Pedestrians get in free. (The fee gets you into both parks).

    Happy Camping! Pamela and Keith

    Thousand Trails Virginia Landing

    Great Experience for Families with Kids

    Our family of five (Kids: 13, 10, 7) recently stayed at Virginia Landing, and it was an great experience overall, especially for families with kids. However, with some small park improvements visits could be enhanced. 

    The campground provided opportunities for exploration and outdoor activities that kept our kids entertained throughout our three night stay. The park is wide-open, which provided plenty of space for kids to roam and explore. Virginia Landing is located right on the shore and we felt perfectly comfortable allowing the kids to freely run around and engage in activities they don't typically (i.e. clamming, kite flying).

    The park had a spacious layout that allowed for easy RV maneuvering. Whether you're a seasoned RV enthusiast or a camper just starting out, you'll appreciate the space. All sites were  accessible and comfortable for campers.

    The campground staff was also helpful in guiding us to our site and providing any necessary assistance, making the whole process hassle-free.

    We believe a small playground and spruced up facilities would enhance the stay for families.

    Milburn Landing Campground

    Great campground, beautiful setting!

    Note: There are two separate areas of this park: Shad Landing, in Snow Hill, and Milburn Landing, in Pocomoke City. Shad Landing is the main area of the park, and contains the camp store, marina, multiple camping loops, swimming pool, etc. The two areas are right across the river from each other, but it’s about a 20-minute drive, since you have to drive up and around the river.

    The site was very large, level, and heavily shaded by loblolly pines. Nice open-ish area to the side and behind the site, where we were able to hang our hammocks and clothesline. The pines provided great shade, but little privacy between sites. The campground itself was very pretty and well laid out, but most sites were a little too close together for my taste. I really did enjoy our particular site, but it was a bit too far from the bath house for those traveling with little kids. Camping loop also has a partial view of the river, and is steps away from the Nassawango Pavilion and tire playground (which was great for us, because we were holding our family reunion in said pavilion). One note: the loop road is nicely flat and paved, but very tight and winding, with lots of trees right next to it. Be prepared for a multi-point turn to back into your site!

    Bath house was large and extremely clean; renovated within the last year. Two large shower stalls; one was a handicapped stall with the detachable shower head, which was great for showering my toddler off. Water was nice and hot, and pressure was strong. I’m assuming they had well water, as i could feel the slight “sliminess” of a water softener. There was also a nice, large dishwashing sink on the outside. Nearby pavilion and tire playground were very clean and well-maintained, with a beautiful view of the Pocomoke River. Nice dock for fishing and boat launch. This seems to be the more “quiet” side of the park; if you’re looking for more on-site activities and amenities, head over to Shad Landing.

    There is a ton to do within an hour’s drive! Ocean City, Salisbury Zoo, Historic Berlin, Assateague, Wallops Island, you name it. A great base camp from which to explore all Delmarva has to offer.

    Overall, we really enjoyed this park, and the setting couldn’t be more beautiful. If we were to return, we would probably camp on the Shad Landing side, as it has more amenities right there, and the campsites over there seemed more private and wooded than those at Milburn.

    Trap Pond State Park Campground

    Beautiful place to relax

    My sons and I spent four nights on the island site and loved it. We lucked out and had both sites to ourselves which I recommend. I couldn’t imagine sharing the secluded site with strangers. We set up our hammocks on the edge of the water. We walked around the pond and rented boats and kayaks for the day and rowed back to our site which the kids loved. They got to spend the day learning to paddle on the pond. The camp ground has a small store however they close early, so make sure to stock up on wood and ice before they close. They also had a bike shed where you can sign out bikes for free for the day which was super neat. They also have wheelbarrows to borrow so if you have a drive up site you can use them. While we were there they were building a new bath house near the island and cabin sites otherwise porter potties were there. The location is great. We took a day and drove to assateague island which was about an hour. All and all we loved the location we loved watching all the different birds and seeing so many stars. The people were all very nice. We look forward to coming back soon. Oh and if you stay at the island site make sure to be nice to the resident squirrel !!!


Guide to Crisfield

Cabins and luxury accommodations at Maryland state parks offer distinctive glamping experiences on the Eastern Shore, with several options located near Crisfield. The area's low-lying geography, generally less than 10 feet above sea level, creates unique wetland ecosystems where glamping sites offer direct access to water features. Several campgrounds maintain heated cabins year-round, though the main glamping season typically runs April through November.

What to do

Kayak water trails: Pocomoke River State Park features diverse paddling options with multiple creeks to explore. "We have kayaked north to Snow Hill, Md, south to Milburn Landing, west up Nassawango Creek, and Corkers Creek at the campsite. We have also kayaked out of Byrd Park, in Snow Hill. All these kayak trails are wonderful!" says a camper at Pocomoke River State Park Campground.

Bird watching: The natural wetlands provide excellent wildlife viewing. "Wildlife viewing opportunities abound with numerous bird species including herons, egrets, and waterfowl visible from private decks and observation platforms," notes a visitor to the area. At Janes Island State Park Campground, a reviewer shares, "The hike trails are so beautiful and being by the water was a complete experience!"

Crabbing and fishing: Many waterfront glamping sites offer direct access for these activities. "The river is great for fishing, kayaking, and boating," mentions a camper at Pocomoke River State Park Shad Landing. Another visitor notes, "You can go crabbing for blue crabs" at Janes Island.

Beach excursions: Most glamping accommodations provide easy access to secluded beaches. "You can also kayak out to a sand beach," explains a Janes Island visitor. Another camper reports, "There's a beach that's an easy 1-mile paddle away with lots of room to spread out and have a private space to yourself."

What campers like

Clean, modern facilities: Roaring Point Waterfront Campground gets high marks for its maintenance. "Had a wonderful time and management was very professional. Campground was clean and has beautiful views," notes a visitor. At Milburn Landing, a camper observed, "Truly the best bathhouse we've ever seen at a campground! Not only clean - but modern and new."

Privacy between sites: Trap Pond State Park Campground offers well-spaced glamping options. "All sites appeared level and some have a view of the pond. Bathhouses were very clean, including the showers," shares one reviewer. Another adds, "Sites are nicely sized and spaced out. Bathhouse is in very nice condition."

Educational opportunities: The wetland environment provides learning experiences. "When not blocked by pandemic proposals, the nature center is a hub of educational activity and some great ranger programs. The park has programs and we painted a picture of Chuck the Owl (he was our model) which was fun," reports a camper at Pocomoke River.

Diverse accommodation options: From primitive to luxury, the region offers choices. "The park has well-marked kayaking trails. Normally you can rent kayaks from the park," says a Janes Island visitor. At Trap Pond, a camper noted, "There are plenty of trails for biking. Nice size campsites."

What you should know

Seasonal bug considerations: Many reviewers mention insects as a consideration. At Milburn Landing Campground, a ranger advised that "the flies can be really bad in the summer but early and late season are great." Another camper at Pocomoke notes, "The one big problem with both Shad and Milburn are the bugs. It gets insanely humid here, and the mosquitoes, flies, and ticks take full advantage."

Site selection matters: Research your specific site before booking. At Shad Landing, a visitor warned, "We weren't a huge fan of our site, site 50, because it was difficult to get into and it backed up to the marina. We basically had to do a u-turn in reverse with our 30ft travel trailer which wasn't the easiest to get in the site."

Limited store hours: At most state parks, camp stores operate on reduced schedules. "The camp store and boat rentals were closed and the check in was kind of confusing due to arriving the first day the park opened due to Covid-19," explained one Janes Island camper. Another noted, "They sale firewood at the cabin store but the store is only opened Thursday-Sunday."

Weather impacts: Low-lying areas can experience flooding issues. "It had rained just before getting there. A few sites were flooded but most were okay," reported a camper at Pocomoke River. At Trap Pond, one visitor advised, "It had rained just before getting there. A few sites were flooded but most were okay."

Tips for camping with families

Free bike programs: Trap Pond State Park Campground offers complimentary bicycles. "They also had a bike shed where you can sign out bikes for free for the day which was super neat. They also have wheelbarrows to borrow so if you have a drive up site you can use them," shares a visitor.

Kid-friendly watercraft: Multiple locations rent boats suitable for families. "We rented a kayak; awesome activity to do around the lake," notes a Trap Pond camper. "You can rent canoes/kayaks and there is a pool that I think has a lifeguard," mentioned another visitor.

Playground access: Consider site proximity to play areas. A Pocomoke River visitor recommends, "If you have kiddos, try and get a site in Loop A – there is a nice and educational play area (plus a game I'd never heard of– Gaga ball)."

Seasonal swimming: Many glamping locations offer swimming facilities during warmer months. "Nice pool, new bath houses, descent animal resource center," reports a camper at Pocomoke River Shad Landing.

Tips from RVers

Site leveling challenges: Pine Grove Campground and other locations require preparation. "The sites are not level and have a sandy base so it took a bit of work to finally get the rig level, even with auto-levelers," explains one RVer at Trap Pond.

Hookup limitations: Research utility options before arrival. "Had electric but no water or sewage. With that said I knew this going in," shares a camper at Pocomoke River Shad Landing. Another notes, "30 amp service available on Acorn Trail and Deer Run. No water or sewer hookups but there is a dump station at park entrance with a water fillup spot."

Access restrictions: Larger rigs face challenges at some locations. "The roads around campground are narrow with large trees lining the road. A big rig would have difficulty parking if not on a specific site. Would strongly suggest only tents, pop ups and travel trailers under 30'," advises a visitor to Milburn Landing.

Loop selection: Different camping areas offer varying amenities. "Two loops allow dogs, one with electric and one without," explains a Pocomoke River camper. At Janes Island, a visitor noted, "There are three loops for camping. 'A' loop has very public sites with roads, parking, day use areas all nearby. 'B' loop is fully electrified so popular with trailers and RVs."
