Best Cabin Camping near Lusby, MD

Cabins near Lusby offer a mix of basic and full-service accommodations, with several waterfront options providing bay views. Matoaka Beach Cottages provides cabins with electric hookups and indoor plumbing, though reviews indicate that facilities are somewhat dated. Point Lookout State Park features cabin rentals, though these are temporarily closed for water line upgrades as of recent reports. Solomons Navy Recreation Area maintains highly-rated cabin facilities on a military recreation property. "We tent camped at Matoka Cabins and it was a beautiful peaceful camping trip! Our spot was very private and you could see the bay and hear the waves," reports one visitor, highlighting the water proximity that makes these cabins appealing.

Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Endeavor Point provides more basic cabin accommodations with drinking water and picnic tables but limited amenities. Most properties require advance reservations, especially during summer months when waterfront cabins fill quickly. Pet policies vary significantly - Solomons Navy Recreation Area and Westmoreland State Park allow pets in cabins, while Matoaka Beach Cottages prohibits them. According to reviews, "Great military campground with spacious sites, and anything else you could want!" referring to the Solomons facilities which include beach access, pools, and a marina alongside cabin accommodations.

Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Cooking facilities differ widely between properties - some offer full kitchens while others provide only outdoor fire rings. Camp Merryelande provides cabin rentals with firewood available on site, though reviews suggest maintenance issues may affect comfort levels. Several locations sell basic provisions on-site, including Point Lookout State Park's seasonal camp store where "firewood was well seasoned for $6/box and ice $3/bag." Visitors planning extended stays should stock up on groceries before arrival, as most cabin sites are relatively isolated from major shopping areas.

    Martinak State Park Campground

    Quiet and Peaceful

    We had a wonderful time at Martinak State Park. We rented a mini cabin and it had a full bed, two bunk beds and AC which was such a nice amenity. The site had a fire ring, grill and picnic table. We were right next to the bathhouse walkway. The bathhouse was very nice, clean and the showers had warm water. Due to the boat ramp being closed, there were not many places for fishing besides fishing off the back of the amphitheater. We drove to sister park, Tuckahoe State Park (15 min) and there was plenty of fishing locations. Cell signal was spotty, but perfect for a weekend away. Will stay again!

    Pohick Bay Campground

    Great spot around Northern Virginina

    We were here for just one night during September. Our first time camping in the area and since COVID. Check in process was relatively simple, just pull up and pop out of your car to check in, with mask of course. We got a quick run down, some wood and a brochure with maps and area info. We were at site 133, non electric non water. I feel like the spots at the end of each loop might have slightly more privacy, but our site was fine. It included a picnic table and probably the best fire pit with grill that I've had in a while. It rained the night before we came, and the night we were there so the ground was pretty wet. Bathrooms had a sign for taking care with COVID precautions, and to wear your mask. Bathrooms were ok, but floors were a mess from muddy feet. Not much to be done about that. There were showers, and a dishwashing sink, plus laundry available. It's nice to know we've got a close spot to escape to if we don't have time to go far. This is a pet friendly campground. There's a lot to do out at the whole park, and its worth exploring (we just didn't have time). I'm sure its so pretty out near the water.

    Camping with your friends, whether you bring your own or not

    This review is specific to the non-electric tent sites.

    From a services available view, their staff is visible and around to help.  Bathrooms, "Comfort Stations", could use some cleaning more frequently but I've seen a lot worse.  Big trash bin near the comfort stations, convenient.   Definitely a well stocked camp store, its obvious they cater to beginner and family camping.  You are NOT permitted to use deadfall at this park, must bring locally purchased USDA wood yourself or buy from camp store.

    There are comfort stations and trash bins close to every non-electric camp site, an easy sub-200 yard walk for me, but that fact is also where my disappointment starts.  The non-electric camp sites in some cases, appear to share a single area, fire pits 10 feet apart from each other, one flat area, barely a full length truck can fit in the parking available at each site they are so close to the road.  If you whisper,  your neighbors will easily hear close.   A big part of camping for me is the peace and quiet of nature.  THIS IS NOT THAT CAMPSITE.  It is extremely compact and close to each other.  Snoring of your neighbor is definitely an issue no matter which site you choose, except for maybe 138 as was said in another review.

    The gravel road into the campsites,  is a RESIDENTIAL road.  Yes, there are houses at the end of the road these campsites are ON.  Not off of, on.  Now mostly that wasn't a big deal, cars moving through during the day, early evening.  But that one guy that sat with his high beams on pointed directly into my tent late night for a solid minute or two before loudly accelerating through was a bit irritating. 

    This was a weeknight trip, there was only one other camper in this small campground with me so all in all, not a terrible trip but definitely not worth the cost and will not be visiting here again.

    Martinak State Park Campground

    Small basic campground near a river

    This is a small state park with two loops, one with and one without electric hookups. Sites have fire rings and picnic tables. There is a dump station available. Sites are level, in a loop around the bath house. There are also a few cabins available to rent. There's a small $1 surcharge for out of state campers.

    For kids, there’s a simple swingset in the loop and a larger, newer playground. Firewood available.

    Martinak and Tuckahoe are sister parks, about 20 minutes apart. Tuckahoe offers a number of additional activities, including disc golf, mountain biking, fishing, swimming, and boating(canoe/kayak rentals available). If you’re looking to learn and explore with your kids, there is an extensive junior ranger program.

    August 1, 2021, the boat ramp will close for a year; that will likely diminish the appeal of this park for those who want to get out on the river for fishing or boating. When open, there is a network of river trails accessible from the park. There’s a boat launch in nearby West Denton or also at Tuckahoe and a few other nearby spots.

    Denton is also your destination if you've forgotten anything.

    Point Lookout State Park - Temporarily Closed

    Great State Park in SoMD

    Just got back from a weekend trip there. It was a great State Park with fishing, trails, and boat docks. We stayed in the hoffman loop in our 20 ft TT. That loop was pet friendly, shaded, and right next to the playground.

    The most sites were off the road and secluded. Ours was a little over grown and not a straight shot to the landing pad. Fire wood was well seasoned for $6/bx and ice $3/bg at the camp store.

    Belle Isle State Park Campground

    BELLE ISLE STATE PARK

    First time staying in a travel trailer at a state park. We booked the day of, because we were being indecisive, and there were a few spots available.

    We came in after hours, and the guide at the entrance told us where to get our packet (from the kiosk in front of the camp store).

    It’s very easy to find everything here, and the camp ground had both pull-throughs and back in spots. Plenty of separation between you and your neighbor for some privacy. No issues with the water/electric/dump station. Almost no cell service to speak of, but that’s the beauty of going to a place like this. Very kid and pet friendly. The community showers and bathrooms are very clean.

    Lots of bugs and mosquitos. Plan accordingly.

    Both the visitor center and camp store have plenty of souvenirs, but not much besides that. Just know, if you don’t plan well enough to bring something, you’ll be traveling 20-30 min out of your way to reach anything besides a gas station (nearest grocery store/Walmart is 25 min away).

    Overall, it was a great first experience in our RV at this state park!

    Tons of activities to do!

    Great camp sites each with a picnic table and fire pit. There are a ton of things to do at this park, boat ramps, water park, mini golf, disc golf, kayak rental, and hiking trails. The camp store is open from 8a-8p. My only complaint is that our site was a bit too close to the “main road” of the park. Also, comfort station 3 was out of service so we had to drive to the other stations when we needed to use the facilities. Other than that, very much recommended and we will be back.

    Martinak State Park Campground

    Beautiful park, already planning a return

    This was our first visit to this park and we really loved it. We stayed in a tent site which included a fire ring and picnic table, and we had two tents and plenty of space for everything. While we were there, I believe all of the cabins were full and some other tent sites reserved, but the grounds were still very quiet and peaceful. The bathrooms and showers were modern and very clean and looked to be only a brief, flat walk from most of the sites/cabins in the loop. The loops were smaller than I expected, but that wasn't a bad thing. There is also a large sink on one side of the bathhouse which was nice for cleaning up after cooking. AT&T phone service was slow but available. While in the area, we also visited WorkHorse Farm for a tour, First Fruits Orchard for PYO blueberries, and Denton Station antique mall.
