18 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Several RV campgrounds operate within 30 miles of Middletown, Maryland, offering hookup options ranging from water and electric to full sewer connections. Brunswick Family Campground offers full hookups with both 30 and 50-amp service, open from March through November. "Overall great camp ground only thing I noticed is 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," noted one camper. Harpers Ferry Campground features water, electric, and sewer connections but requires careful maneuvering as sites are positioned close together with limited room for error. Round Top Campground near Gettysburg provides RV sites with water and electric hookups, though several reviews mention unlevel gravel pads and tight spacing between sites.
Reservation requirements vary significantly across the region's RV parks, with most requiring advance booking during peak seasons. Many campgrounds feature amenities beyond basic hookups, including dump stations, laundry facilities, and on-site stores. Cell service quality differs between locations, with more remote parks experiencing spotty coverage. Sites at Evergreen Point Village are equipped with 50-amp service only, requiring converters for 30-amp rigs. Most campgrounds welcome pets with standard restrictions. A recent review noted that at Harpers Ferry Campground, "You really need to be proficient at backing the RV into tight spaces... there is not a lot of room," highlighting the importance of verifying site dimensions before arrival, especially for larger motorhomes. Checking site length and pad levelness in advance is particularly useful when booking RV campsites in this region.
"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
"Great Park, friendly staff, clean facilities. We stayed with our Pop Up for two nights at an electric -supported site. Portable water and dumping station located at the camp store."
"We 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."

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.
ScoutWas looking for a last-minute getaway on a busy weekend, and they seemed the best option. I've always associated private campgrounds with crowding and sites on top of each other. I couldn't have been more wrong about The Cove. There is more wooded space between sites than in many National Parks.
Some sections are best accessed via 4WD, which I think is a great way to keep things from getting too crowded.
Such a huge diversity of types of sites, from lakeside to wooded, to open fields. They have something for everyone.
The bathrooms are ok. Other than the shower area and the reception, most toilets are pit toilets. If you want to be walking distance to showers, make sure to book sites near them. For most sites, it's going to be a hike or a drive.
And on top of that, they have a beach for the kids, boat rentals, and a range.
This was our first visit, but we will definitely be coming back.
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.
ScoutThe campground is a nice size with enough space between sites to feel as though you have some privacy.
We reserved site 4 online but someone had set up there when we arrived. Site 6 was open and it had a better view anyway and was farther away from the toilets, so we didn’t mind.
The boat launch is right there which we planned to paddle board in the morning, but got rained out. The river looks really nice and clean though.
Tables and fire pits are a great size. We saw some gorgeous stars as there isn’t any light pollution.
It’s only half hour from Berkeley Springs, so fill up your spring water for free there and then come enjoy the campsite!
Will definitely return.
Camping options near Middletown, Maryland range from basic to full-service facilities within a 30-mile radius. The area sits at the junction of the Catoctin Mountain range and Middletown Valley, with elevations between 500-1,000 feet creating varied camping microclimates. Fall temperatures average 45-65°F with significant temperature drops after sunset, requiring campers to pack accordingly.
Explore historic Gettysburg: Located about 25 miles from Middletown, Gettysburg Campground serves as an excellent base. "There was also zero traffic (it was late October). A list of things we did while staying at RoundTop: Battlefield audio tour, Nighttime walking ghost tour, Battlefield Brew Works, Visited shops around the square," notes one visitor.
Visit working farms: Farm-based camping provides unique experiences for travelers. Thousand Trails Gettysburg Farm offers direct interaction with animals. "We came amidst COVID-19, so the many activities and events this location usually holds are down, BUT there is still fun to be had here! We've enjoyed mini-golf, feeding the animals, 'hiking' through the cornfield, fishing, and campfires," shares a camper.
Riverside recreation: Water activities are popular along the Potomac and Shenandoah rivers. "Gorgeous spot on the river. Small campground with not a lot of amenities BUT THAT RIVER IS GORGEOUS. Lots of activities - tubing, zip lining, fishing," writes a visitor about riverside options.
Natural settings with conveniences: Many campgrounds balance nature access with practical amenities. Brunswick Family Campground earns praise for its location. "Picked this location because it is close to our home in Silver Spring, MD but far enough to make us feel like we were leaving town. Campgrounds are tucked between railroad tracks and the river at the end of a road. Once on the campground land, the river is mesmerizing," explains one reviewer.
Family-oriented activities: Seasonal events and amenities keep younger campers engaged. "We camped here in May for Memorial Day weekend. The campground offers free mini golf, a pool and a splash pad pool area. A yard sale, vendor sale, golf cart parade, as well as other activities going on," notes a visitor to Drummer Boy Camping Resort.
Wildlife viewing: Natural habitats support diverse wildlife across the region. "Trees and mountain area is pleasant. Lots of activities for kids. Basketball court recently updated. Golf course setup for spooky time of year," reports a camper about seasonal theming.
Train noise: Several campgrounds along rivers also border active rail lines. "The 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. Every hour through the night," warns a visitor to Harpers Ferry Campground.
Seasonal operation: Most campgrounds close during winter months. "We defaulted to RoundTop Campground since a majority of campgrounds in the area were booked at the time of our planning. I would guess the main reason for that being - it's the campground furthest out from town but not by much," notes a camper explaining off-season availability.
Bathroom maintenance varies: Facility cleanliness differs significantly between properties. "The bathhouse near the pool left a little something to be desired. It wasn't filthy but also wasn't sparking clean," reports one camper, while another notes: "The bathroom trailer near the campsites was extremely smelly, with many of the 4 toilets clogged."
Playground access: Check playground proximity before booking with children. "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. In a campground that size I would expect at least 2 playgrounds," advises a parent at Drummer Boy.
Animal encounters: Farm-based camping offers educational opportunities. Bull Run Regional Park provides structured activities: "The campground had a climbing wall on one afternoon. There are miles of trails and my grandkids enjoyed the nature scavenger hunt. You even get a prize when you finish."
Temperature preparation: Valley locations experience significant day-night temperature swings. "The weather is perfect right now highs reaching low 80s, so the evenings are super lovely!" shares a summer visitor, but fall and spring require layering as temperatures can drop 20-30 degrees after sunset.
Site selection strategy: RV sites vary widely in layout and accessibility. "Sites are small and tight and some are at strange angles. They do have FHU and 30/50 amp. There are many amenities and a large swimming pool which is great for families," notes an RVer about their experience.
Power compatibility: Some parks only provide certain electrical configurations. "All sites are 50amp too so if you have a 30amp rig, you'll need a converter," advises an RVer at Evergreen Point Village.
Seasonal site availability: Weekends book quickly during peak seasons, especially at campgrounds near attractions. "Overall I would definitely recommend this campground to someone and I would also go back myself. It's literally like a mile from downtown Gettysburg, which also has a lot of different things to do," reports a satisfied visitor explaining the popularity challenge.
