Best Cabin Camping near Damascus, MD

Several state parks and private campgrounds near Damascus, Maryland provide cabin rentals with varying levels of amenities. Patapsco Valley State Park-Hilton Area features small one-room mini cabins with electricity and heat, making them suitable for those who want a camping experience with basic comforts. Gambrill State Park Campground offers four cabins, with Cabin 18 being pet-friendly. The cabins at Cunningham Falls State Park include electricity but limited furnishings. As one visitor noted, "The cabins had a queen bed, 2 bunks, microwave and refrigerator and a small bathroom. That was a tight space but a bathroom none the less."

Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Harpers Ferry Civil War Battlefields KOA, about 30 miles from Damascus, provides deluxe cabin options with more amenities than standard park cabins. Brunswick Family Campground offers weather-proof cabins with bunk beds, though one reviewer described them as "TINY. Essentially four beds (two bunks) and some space between them to move around. Essentially a shed with bunkbeds in it." Little Bennett Campground in Clarksburg operates from April through October, while Cherry Hill Park in College Park maintains cabin rentals year-round. Pet policies vary significantly between locations, with some cabins designated specifically for pet owners and others prohibiting animals entirely. Advance reservations are essential, particularly during summer months when cabin rentals fill quickly.

Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Cooking facilities vary widely between locations - some cabins feature microwaves and small refrigerators, while others rely on outdoor fire pits with cooking grates. The Olive Green cabin near Frederick represents the most primitive option, with a visitor noting, "No running water or electricity. You'll need to bring plenty of flashlights and lanterns as well as water." Camp stores at larger facilities like Cherry Hill Park and Harpers Ferry KOA stock basic supplies, firewood, and some grocery items. Little Bennett Campground has Walmart and Wegman's within 5 miles for more extensive shopping needs. Visitors planning extended cabin stays should pack accordingly for the specific amenities of their chosen accommodation.
