Nice park but the site not so much
The park is very nice however the site H2 was the site assigned to us. The distance between our Coach and the fence was 7 feet and the bathhouse was blocking the view. I do not recommend this site.

Codorus State Park Campground
Excellent campground!
The sites offer plenty of space and privacy, making it easy to relax and enjoy nature. The campground is conveniently located near the lake, with beautiful views and easy access to the water. There is also a nice swimming pool, which is a great bonus. We enjoyed kayaking on the lake and spending time outdoors. Overall, it's a wonderful place to unwind, relax, and enjoy a peaceful getaway. We would definitely come back!

LegendLums Pond State Park Campground
Clean, big-rig friendly, large sites.
Overall, this is a nice, small (about 65 sites) state park with plenty of recreational opportunities inside the park. There is nice separation between sites so you don’t feel like you are on top of your neighbor. Tall trees are scattered about which provide shade at some sites but overall, the park is pretty open. Roads getting to the park are easy to navigate with any size RV. Within the park, roads are paved and free of potholes and there are no low hanging branches. Since the roads are one-way they are not very wide so backing in big-rigs can be a little tight and you might have to run over the grass.
All RV sites are full hook-up and there is a separate area for tents and there is one canvas yurt for rent. The tent sites are nice in that they are tucked along the wood line slightly away from RVs with more privacy and shade. The only downside is that they are pretty far away from the centrally located bathroom and showers. The bathroom has separate rooms for showers which is nice and private. They were tended to daily and very clean. Also, located in the center of the campground is a playground, camp store and laundry. The dumpsters and recycle bins are located in a separate area on the way out of the campground and were frequently full and overflowing. Campsites are paved and some have wide enough that the patio is paved but others have a narrow pad for the RV and gravel patio. We discovered that most sites are level but a few are not (like 22 and 24). The campground is very clean and camp hosts were diligent about picking up trash and cleaning out fire pits every day.
Across the pond (north of the campground) is where most of the amenities are located such as concessions, ball fields, horseshoe pits, disk golf, and more. For those wanting to fish there is a pier in the campground and a self-serve vending machine with bait in it. There are additional fishing piers located in other parts of the park and there are boats, canoes, kayaks, and paddleboards for rent. We stopped in at the Nature Center but it was a bust– just a few taxidermy specimens and not much information. One of the most popular areas of the park is Go Ape which is a ropes/zip line course through the canopy (which does require admission fee). There are nice trails that leave right from the campground– some 17 miles in all. There is a boat launch about a quarter mile from the campground entrance which is suitable for trailerable boats and paddle craft but there are no docks so you can’t leave your boat tied up there. There is an off-leash dog area but it is located far from the campground so it’s best to drive.
Matt S.LegendBay Shore Campground
What stands out about this campground? The view!
We spent a week at Bay Shore Campground to explore Rock Hall, the Chesapeake Bay, and the Eastern Shore of Maryland. What stands out about this campground? The view!
For me, this is a 4-star campground because of the view and nice staff, but not 5-stars because of the sloped site packed in with the neighbors and no sewer connection.
THINGS I LIKED:
— Great view from our site of the Chesapeake Bay— especially for sunset each evening
— Friendly staff
— Nearby Rock Hall, Chestertown, and Eastern Neck Island Wildlife Refuge
— They offered a promo to pay for 6 nights, and the 7th was free
THINGS I DIDN’T LIKE SO MUCH:
— Our site(Site B) had an amazing view of Chesapeake Bay, but the slope made it difficult to get even close to level— even with my front jacks fully extended. I had to buy additional leveling blocks from the camp store(at twice the price of Amazon) just so we didn’t feel like walking uphill to walk around our motorhome. I admit, I am spoiled but really appreciate the campgrounds that level their sites. I think it could be done in a few hours with a rented front loader at a couple nights’ cost.
— Our site(Site B) was tight. The neighbor’s awning was just inches from our motorhome. I understand the need for any business to maximize revenue, but this was unpleasantly close.
— There are no sewer hookups at the sites. They do have a couple of dump stations for your way out and provide a pump-out service once per week at$40 a pop. They were nice enough to pump me out a second time since I stayed 7 nights. Again, I know I’m spoiled, but a sewer connection is a necessity when you’re staying 8 days.
WOULD WE COME BACK?
Sure thing, but we’d stay at a different site.

Thought the campsites were extremely close together. There were A LOT of kids and no quiet hours. Good for families. Not good for a camping camping experience.
Guide to Street
Camping sites near Street, Maryland offer both riverfront and woodland experiences with elevations ranging from 100 to 500 feet above sea level. The region sits at the upper portion of the Chesapeake Bay watershed where the Susquehanna River widens. Summer temperatures typically reach 85-90°F with moderate humidity, making late spring and early fall the most comfortable camping seasons.
What to do
Paddling opportunities: Access the Susquehanna River directly from Pequea Creek Campground where sites are positioned along the water. A camper noted, "We enjoyed the birds singing in the mornings and welcomed grandkids' visit for splashing and floating in Pequea Creek."
Fishing spots: Cast a line from your campsite at several locations including Bar Harbor RV Park & Marina. One visitor explained, "Full hookup but we're told to turn off and unhook water the night it dropped below freezing. Many sites are on the water. No swimming in the Bush River but you can fish from the pier or right from your site."
Wildlife observation: Early mornings and dusk provide excellent viewing opportunities throughout the area. A camper at Susquehanna State Park Campground remarked, "We met a whole bunch of very nice people and would definitely go back. We had a corner site and had plenty of room."
Lighthouse hiking: Multiple trails connect to water views and historic sites. One Elk Neck visitor shared, "Near the state forest with rifle, archery, and handgun ranges including skeet shooting. In summer there is a beach on the North East River for swimming and the Turkey Point Lighthouse is nearby."
What campers like
Spacious sites: Many campgrounds offer generous site dimensions with natural barriers. A visitor to Otter Creek Campground shared, "The camp road was minimally hilly and would be safe and easy for little kids to ride their bikes, unlike some of the campgrounds that have pretty decent hills."
Clean facilities: Well-maintained bathhouses remain a consistent positive across most locations. One camper at Otter Creek noted, "The campground was clean and quiet and not too crowded, the staff was very friendly and helpful."
Water proximity: Several camping options provide direct water access. A Pequea Creek Campground visitor reported, "We stayed in site 22 for three nights and bicycled 14 miles, some along the Susquehanna, on nearby Enola Low Grade Trail."
Seasonal variety: Different campgrounds shine during specific seasons. As one Muddy Run Rec Park camper explained, "The campground throughout the year has activities and events that are fun for the whole family, my favorites being the Halloween fest in October and a Native American Pow wow."
What you should know
Reservation timing: Weekend spots fill quickly from May through September, especially waterfront locations. Book 3-6 months in advance for prime sites.
Weather considerations: The region experiences frequent summer thunderstorms with occasional flooding. A Tucquan Park Family Campground visitor shared, "Our specific site was supposed to have a tent pad but there wasn't a spot cleared for our tent and we had to move the heavy picnic table so we weren't putting up our tent on top of the fire ring."
Tent pad variability: Surface conditions for tent camping vary significantly between locations. One Susquehanna State Park camper warned, "I docked a star because I'd say about half, maybe more, don't have pads."
Water quality: River conditions fluctuate based on recent rainfall. An Otter Creek visitor observed, "Unfortunately, with all of the rain we have had here in Pennsylvania this summer the river was brown with mud and tree debris. There was no way any fish was going to see anything in that water."
Tips for camping with families
Playground access: Consider site proximity to play areas for convenience. A Tucquan Park visitor recommended, "This campground is a nice, family oriented campground. They had a lot of events that people participated in like candy bar and regular bingo, corn hole and horse shoe tournaments and a dj."
Kid-friendly hiking options: Several trails offer manageable distances for young hikers. As noted at Pequea Creek, "Nearby site 24 had steps down the 'levee' affording easier access to the creek."
Water safety precautions: River currents can be strong after rainfall. A parent at Merry Meadows Recreation Farm shared, "This campground is really nice. It's quaint, not overly swamped with an itinerary for kids, but just enough to keep them busy."
Evening activities: Most campgrounds offer weekend programming during summer. A visitor described, "There was a huge wood pile and it was only $10 per wheelbarrow full. We had a great time relaxing as this is in the fields of Lancaster county."
Tips from RVers
Site angles: Some campgrounds have challenging approaches to level sites. A camper at Elk Neck State Park noted, "In the full hook up loop pay close attention to the lengths specified. The actual pads are fairly level but some of the driveways to them are very sloped. Long rigs will have issues in a few of the sites."
Hookup placement: Water and electric connections often have unusual layouts. One RVer at Muddy Run warned, "Bring 50 ft of hose for water hook up and an extension cord with a converter. The water hook ups are randomly placed, ours was 2 sites away."
Interior roads: Several campgrounds have narrow driving lanes. As one camper observed, "The road on the FHU loop is narrow and hilly. Our site was uphill and at a difficult angle. Plenty of bigger TTs and 5th wheels were camping."
Generator restrictions: Rules vary by campground, with some prohibiting generators entirely. Check specific policies before booking.
