15 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Multiple RV parks surround Frederick, Maryland with varying levels of accommodation. Evergreen Point Village offers full hookup RV sites with 50 amp electric, water and sewer connections within Frederick city limits. Brunswick Family Campground, located along the Potomac River in nearby Brunswick, features big-rig friendly sites with 50 amp electric, water, sewer, and cable connections, operating from March through November. Little Bennett Campground in Montgomery County provides spacious full-service RV sites with electric hookups. Ramblin' Pines, though more crowded, maintains well-equipped sites with water, electric and sewer connections. "Sites are pretty close together, but otherwise nice and well maintained," noted one visitor who appreciated the amenities despite the tight spacing.
For travelers planning multi-day stays, dump stations are available at most parks, though placement can be problematic. A review mentioned that "at some of the RV sites the hook ups are in crazy spots, some are in the neighboring sites area so you have to drag extensions around them." Cell service is generally strong throughout the region, with most parks located near major highways for convenient access. During peak seasons, particularly summer and fall foliage periods, advance reservations are essential as parks fill quickly. Pet policies vary between properties, with most allowing dogs with standard restrictions. While Frederick-area RV parks tend to be smaller and more utilitarian than destination resorts, their proximity to Civil War historic sites, downtown amenities, and major shopping centers makes them practical bases for regional exploration.
"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 spots are a little tight but we were able to get our 46’ toy hauler in the spot with very little effort. Because the sites are back-in, we can’t use our rear patio but that is ok."
"The staff was very friendly and our site was a good location. People were all friendly and welcoming! We came in early fall with 3 kids."
"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
"Nice clean restrooms and showers. Friendly hostess and we had a nice shady spot, what was great with a heat of 94F."
"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
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.
TravelerClose to washington as we could get. Could also park our skoolie bus which was nice and had plenty of close by shower with bathrooms. Keep in mind only one shower per restroom house. We stayed at a pretty slow season so it wasn’t bad. Would recommend if visiting DC! They also have a dump station and water fill up.
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.
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)
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.
ScoutSimple and friendly check in process. Clean and well-maintained site.
GuideSpent 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.
ScoutThis is are first camping adventure in are new travel trailer. Camp ground is quiet and well maintained. Bath rooms and shower facilities are fantastic.

Battlefield exploration: Gettysburg Campground positions campers just minutes from historic Civil War sites. "It's in the heart of the battlefield access points and trails," notes one visitor, while another mentions it's "a few minute drive to historic Gettysburg. It's nice and out of the way of the busy parts of town."
Farm animal interactions: At Thousand Trails Gettysburg Farm, campers can integrate agriculture into their stay. "We enjoyed mini-golf, feeding the animals, 'hiking' through the cornfield, fishing, and campfires," shares one camper. Another adds, "If you love farm animals, that is the spot to be. Got a kick out of the children playing with the kids (baby goats) pigs, goats, chickens, horses and even lamas."
Water recreation: Located on the Potomac River, Brunswick Family Campground offers multiple water activities. "The Shenandoah River parallels the campground. The river is beautifully clean clear and cool," writes one reviewer. Another mentions, "Easy to walk into the river or tube down it. Lots of different activities for kids and plenty of space at each site."
River views: At Harpers Ferry Campground, the waterfront location stands out. "It's lovely to have a site right on the water. I recommend bringing a float and spending your day relaxing out on the water," shares one camper. Another notes, "Gorgeous spot on the river. Small campground with not a lot of amenities BUT THAT RIVER IS GORGEOUS."
Organized activities: Many campers appreciate the structured entertainment at Drummer Boy Camping Resort. "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 one reviewer. Another mentions, "The campground offers free mini golf, a pool and a splash pad pool area."
Family-friendly atmosphere: Most Frederick-area campgrounds prioritize family experiences. "The pool was great, especially camping with younger kids," notes a visitor to Gettysburg Farm. Another camper at Brunswick Family Campground describes it as "very quaint and carefree you almost forget the outside world."
Train noise: Several campgrounds experience railroad disruptions. "The CSX rail line berm... trains that come through here almost hourly range from quick commuter MARC or Amtrak trains to long freight trains. The proximity to the tracks means that if the sound doesn't wake you up, the rumbling ground will," warns a Harpers Ferry visitor.
Site spacing: Many campgrounds pack sites tightly. A camper at Round Top Campground reports, "While the site was shaded, it was also on a significant hill and had NO view of anything but other seasonal campers." Another notes, "Sites are small and tight and some are at strange angles."
