6 campgrounds with availability this weekend
RV campers can find top spots near Phoenix, Maryland year-round or seasonally. Bar Harbor RV Park & Marina in Abingdon offers 91 sites with full hookups including 50-amp service, water, and sewer connections. The park accommodates big rigs and provides amenities such as a dump station, showers, and laundry facilities. Cherry Hill Park near College Park features level pull-through sites with 50-amp hookups on gravel pads, along with two swimming pools and shuttle service to Washington DC. Camp Meade RV Park in Laurel operates year-round with big-rig friendly sites that include 50-amp electrical service, water, and sewer hookups. "Our site was level and covered in gravel, like all sites and roadways within the campground. Our site had full hookups, decent wi-fi, cable TV, a picnic table, fire ring, and nicely kept grassy area between sites," noted one visitor about Country Acres Campground.
Navigation into some parks requires careful planning, especially for larger motorhomes. Several campgrounds near Phoenix have tight turns and narrow roads that can challenge drivers of longer RVs. Verizon cell service varies significantly between locations, with most parks offering 2-3 bars of coverage. According to one visitor at Lums Pond State Park, "Back-in was okay with having to swing our F-450 and 39' 5th wheel into the grass between sites across the street. Utilities were smartly placed at the middle of the pad." Many RV parks in the region offer on-site propane fill service, and most accommodate pets with designated walking areas. Seasonal availability differs between parks - some operate year-round while others close from November through March. Dump stations are available at most locations, though some parks like Evergreen Point Village require a 50-amp to 30-amp converter for smaller rigs.
"Our first visit (March 2018) was just prior to peak season (lower rates) and we had a site literally 10 ft. from the water! Full hook ups and sites were a little close, but nice."
"Some of the trailer sites are a tough back in but worth the trouble. WiFi is good washrooms are modern and adequate. A lot of long term residents but the transient sites are pretty separate."
from $75 - $115 / night
"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."
"There was a craft show in the barn which was nice. Only two dump stations for a pretty large park. We would camp here again but not over a holiday."
"The campsites available are primitive or have water and electric and bathhouses / restrooms are located in a few spots around the park. Fire rings are at each site, but appear to get moved a lot."
"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."
"I got an amazingly large site with a nice fire pit and picnic table. The site was very level so that was great! Nice indoor and outdoor pools! Cable TV isn't free, but I never use it anyway."
"We got pretty lucky and were assigned one of the concrete pads that was pretty level. It is absolutely beautiful out."
"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."
"Electric/Water/Sewer hookup sites for $56 a night! (2 night minimum) Which is a great full hookup price, even though it's gone up $6 since last year."
"Nice clean restrooms and showers. Friendly hostess and we had a nice shady spot, what was great with a heat of 94F."
"If you want to be near Annapolis, right on the Severn River...this is it. About 15 RV spots nestled in the woods...with full hook ups. A couple of primitive spots as well."
from $20 - $40 / night
TravelerCountry Acres is a lovely, well maintained campground. Sites are level and bath house facilities clean and modern. Friendly staff in the office. Dog friendly. Local to all the Lancaster attractions. A complimentary farmland tour is offered by bus and it was great. They take you out into an area of Amish farms and shops and make a stop at 2 of these. The fresh Amish pretzels are amazing!
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.
GuideWe booked two nights mid October not realizing that it's duck hunting season and that hunting is allowed RIGHT by the campground - with kids everywhere. We were jolted out of sleep at 5 am by gun fire right near our site. It kept up for the next hour. In addition, the bathrooms, although clean are in poor condition. Peeling paint everywhere with bare concrete in the showers. For such a pretty site, we had a miserable stay. We left after one night.
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.
ScoutThe advertisements for Olde Mill Campground were disingenuous. The campsite was 20 yards from a roller coaster. The NOISE of the roller coaster and children on it screaming was as relentless and unnerving as any train we have ever slept near. There was no quiet until almost midnight. The “pull-through” site left my truck almost in the road and our 25’ Airstream slightly over the road on the backside. The site was not level. The sites were close enough to hear a neighbor’s snoring.
GuideWe stayed here to go to the Hershey RV show—about 55 min drive. Right in the center of Amish country. Campground is adults only. It was very clean. The bathrooms were very clean with great water pressure. The roads are tight for getting into sites. Site 5 was not level side to side. We met great people there.
ScoutSimple and friendly check in process. Clean and well-maintained site.
RV campgrounds near Phoenix, Maryland offer convenient access to both countryside and urban attractions. Located within 25 miles of Baltimore's Inner Harbor, these campgrounds provide a strategic home base for exploring the Chesapeake Bay region and historic sites. Most camping facilities maintain year-round operations with varying levels of winter services.
Explore historic Gettysburg: Just a short drive from Phoenix-area campgrounds, Gettysburg National Military Park offers extensive battlefield tours. A visitor at Thousand Trails Gettysburg Farm noted, "It's not too far from historic Gettysburg yet. We haven't traveled into historic Gettysburg yet, but it's not too far from here."
Visit the Amish countryside: Lancaster County provides a cultural experience with working farms and handcrafted goods. "Close to Lancaster for necessities and great proximity to Baltimore and Philadelphia for day trips," reports a camper staying at Thousand Trails Circle M.
Enjoy water activities: Several campgrounds feature waterfront access for fishing and boating. One visitor at Bar Harbor RV Park mentioned, "Beautiful water front sites and good location right off 95. Cute little dock, fishing from your campsite if waterfront and an area to put in small boats or kayaks."
Waterfront camping options: Riverside and bay-access sites remain popular for fishing and relaxation. According to a camper at Bar Harbor RV Park & Marina, "Camped here at the end of summer, really loved it. Had our kayaks with us and the water wasn't but a few steps away. Some sites you are right on the water's edge."
Farm-based camping experiences: Working farms provide unique environments for families. A visitor at Thousand Trails Gettysburg Farm shared, "We've enjoyed mini-golf, feeding the animals, 'hiking' through the cornfield, fishing, and campfires. The weather is perfect right now highs reaching low 80s, so the evenings are super lovely!"
Seasonal festivities: Many campgrounds organize holiday-themed weekends throughout the camping season. "We spent Halloween weekend here. The kids loved it! They had Halloween ever at every weekend of October," reported a camper at Circle M RV & Camping Resort.
Site drainage concerns: Some campgrounds experience water management issues during heavy rain. A visitor at Round Top Campground noted, "We first had a 2 point site near the river, but when it rains the sites get flooded with runoff from the campground."
Seasonal population fluctuations: Weekends bring significantly higher occupancy rates at most facilities. One camper observed, "Quiet during the week, weekends quite busy," at Drummer Boy Camping Resort.
Varying WiFi quality: Internet service differs greatly between campgrounds. "WiFi is available at a cost. It gets very full on the weekends here," commented a Circle M visitor.
Utility placements: Water and electric hookups can be awkwardly positioned at some sites. A Round Top Campground camper mentioned, "Water and electric are in award spot on our site."
Look for animal interaction opportunities: Farm-based campgrounds offer unique educational experiences. A visitor at Gettysburg Campground shared, "Great spot. Nice creek with ducks. Close to battlefield."
Consider seasonal activities: Halloween weekends remain especially popular for families. "We camped here in May for Memorial Day weekend. We usually avoid holidays but gave this campground a try. A yard sale, vendor sale, golf cart parade, as well as other activities going on," noted a Drummer Boy Camping Resort visitor.
Check playground availability: Not all campgrounds maintain quality play areas. One parent mentioned, "In my opinion as a mom of small kids maybe the worst part was that there was only 1 playground, it was all the way at the front of the campground (we had to drive to it) and it was very junky and run down."
Anticipate site challenges: Many older campgrounds feature difficult approaches and uneven pads. A camper at Spring Gulch Resort Campground noted, "Lots were a bit uneven, but pull through which was nice."
Prepare for utility converters: Power and water connections vary between campgrounds. "Weekend was cold but the park was pretty full. We were told to turn off and unhook water the night it dropped below freezing," advised a Bar Harbor RV Park visitor.
Verify seasonal maintenance: Swimming pools and amenities may close outside peak season. "Staff was nice but not enough staffing to keep amenities like pool open after 5 during the week," observed a Spring Gulch Resort camper.
Consider space between sites: RV campgrounds near Phoenix, Maryland vary in site spacing. "Sites are paved, pretty level and just a bit close," reported a visitor at Bar Harbor RV Park & Marina.
