"Rocky gap is one of my favorite parks to camp in Maryland! It is right along a great lake, where you can swim, fish, kayak or just lay about. The camp store is well stocked and the staff is friendly."
"The beach at the lake is not far away for any loop."
$35 / night
"Me and a small group of friends stayed here for a weekend and we had a blast it was so peaceful we where right next to the river and had some great trails too hike on."
"Great stay at a well located spot. Beautiful and quiet. Don was very helpful with any request that we had. Would return again. Thanks Don."
"This was a beautiful state forest, with two state parks sort of bordering it (Big Run & New Germany). The roads were all paved which was nice."
"Very remote western Maryland Appalachia. Sites are right off park road, are huge, rustic, and spaced very far apart from other sites. River runs along the sites."
$18 - $117 / night
"New Germany State Park is a pleasant location with a small lake for swimming and kayaking, as well as numerous trails in the wooded mountains of western Maryland."
"If you’re camping at sites 14-26, the walk may seem a bit long to use the john. The park has about 15 or so miles of trails."
$10 - $55 / night
"This is one of my favorite Western Maryland hideaways. The best spots are in the woods adjacent to the stream. You can set up your camp chair and enjoy the creek sounds."
"You have to know what you're getting here - there ARE campsites with amenities, near water and bathrooms, but not all of them have the amenities. "
$20 - $54 / night
"Very close to two Frank Lloyd Wright properties– Kentuck Knob and the more widely known Falling Waters."
"Options to get there include the steep walking trail where bikes are allowed to be walked but not ridden, riding the 3.5 miles along the road, also very steep, or taking a shuttle from downtown Ohiopyle"
$10 / night
"All are roadside, but plenty are tucked away so you feel alone in the woods. You can occupy a site as long as you register at the parks main office. $10/night."
"My family and I have gone camping all over Maryland, West Virginia and Pennsylvania, but had never visited Green Ridge before this weekend. "
$21 - $65 / night
"Camp site(Tent camping)
Camp site was pretty small and close to each other. The forest where the camp site was situated was beautiful."
"Lots of touristy things around the lake, then you drive by lots of vacation homes on the lakeshore and then you pull into the camp and you feel like you are miles away from all that stuff."
"It is not near a main highway unless you call Route 50 through Romney a main highway. It is west of town up a curved mountain road. It is on the top area of "Middle Ridge" mountain. "
"Middle Ridge Campground is a charming family owned campground without the major frills, but has full hookups, very wooded, and has a ton of walking paths to enjoy. Did I mention there are Donkeys??"
"DM offers trails, fishing, picnic, pavilion rental, has a large in ground public pool, and in season, hunting. There is no camping sites. There are a few geocaches in the area."
ScoutMiddle Ridge Campground is a charming family owned campground without the major frills, but has full hookups, very wooded, and has a ton of walking paths to enjoy. Did I mention there are Donkeys?? They are so cute! The campground also has a pool that looks really nice but the weather was a bit chilly for Memorial Day weekend. This campground is secluded, wooded, and not over crowded and the owners are very friendly. We are booking another stay next month!
ScoutThis is a great public park site. Well maintained and sufficiently nice amenities.
ScoutWe enjoyed our stay at Middle Ridge Campground. The owners we're amazing family people who were so polite and helpful! They provided daily checks so see if we needed anything such as firewood, which they brought directly to our campground. We have three children who absolutely loved petting and feeding Mules and Donkeys! The pool is a nice amenity unfortunately the weather wasn't swimming weather when we were there. Short drive down the mountain to get to the ponds but my husband and oldest son had a blast catching fish in their ponds! Large campsites with good spacing between guests, which makes your site feel private. I called before booking and talked to the owner which helped us pick out the perfect spot! If ever in the area we would come back and camp again!
GuideFirst time here but will be back. Can't believe how much space is between each site. You're close enough to see other campers but far enough away to feel you have you own sections of woods. Site 262 in the Ironwood or I loop of the campground. These sites don't have any hook ups but are suitable for campers and small RVs as well as tents. Bathhouse is in the center of the loop.
A fair amount of gnats and other bugs but no mosquitoes to speak of.
Clean, well run camp store. Nice beach area with volley ball nets. Lots of paddle boards and canoes for rent.
The 5 mile hike around Lake Habeeb is enjoyable. Great way to see all sides of the park. Across the lake from the campground is a casino and resort.
A lot to do here!
ScoutTo my surprise, the camp site itself was ran by using a self serve station. Signing ourselves in was extremely easy and we were settled in and unpacked in only an hour. On weekdays it’s not that busy and you see more empty cars than people. As for the campsite, everyone is equipped with a pole for hanging things, campfire pit with a grille, picnic table, and a place to put your tent. From there you are free to walk or drive anywhere you want in the state park. There are tons of trails with amazing sights to see. It felt like every turn was a different biome. With all of the biodiversity, you’ll never be bored of seeing everything it has. Once our stay went into the weekend it got extremely busy. Tons of cars flooded the parking spots and when we packed up and left, someone had already claimed our spot. Locals are nice and everyone is pretty reserved. Had no encounters with bears and loved the untouched nature everywhere. One problem is the weather, even though the weather was in our favor, at night there is extreme winds and it’s enough to completely destroy your tent. Other than that it is definitely worth a visit!
GuideSwallow falls is awesome year round. In the winter the snow and ice is beautiful, fall is lovely and summer is fun.
There are only a couple sites with electricity in each of the two loops.
The largest falls in Maryland, Muddy Creek Falls, 53 feet. Several other falls on the Youghiogheny River.
Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, Harvey Firestone, and John Burroughs camped on the site in 1918, and 1921.
GuideRocky Gap is best earlier and later in the year. It's less crowded. The campground beach is fun. There is a 5 mile trail that goes all around the lake. Lots of lake to paddle. Easy to get to from I-70
ScoutVery clean and quiet. The people selling firewood were the best! Site 166 is not flat what so ever. We recommend checking out cucumber falls, which isn’t terribly far away.
ScoutThis is our first stay at this park. We have a wonderful, big electric and water site. Our camper doesn't have a bathroom so we need the bathhouse. There isn't one on every loop, but this one does have a restroom. The restroom and all the bathhouses badly need updating. The paint is peeling, they smell like mildew and the siding is rotting on them. They are clean but the creepy and gross factor are too much. There are also very limited sites that you can have a pet with you. So a nice place but if those two things are important to you just be aware
