Great Escape! Air conditioned cabins!
What a gem! We found this place as an alternative to staying in DC during 4th of July festivities. Nice spacious sites, cabins were super clean and smelled great! Did I mention they were air conditioned during the hotest week of the summer!
Bathrooms and showers were spotless.
Many things to see and do there. Historic property, big lake (no swimming), boating, fishing, hiking. There is an Art Center with juried displays for sale.

Cherry Hill Park
My All Time Favorite…so far
This park is top notch. The grounds are immaculate. The staff is friendly and helpful. They have a lovely gift shop. We were in the 400 sites and it was nice and shady. Though you are close to highways I don’t recall hearing and noise. I love that they have shuttles to DC., walking trails and a large dog park. This is my all time favorite park so far and I need to go back.

Good location
Nice campground, maintained very well and clean. Laundry room and Propane fill on site so that was nice. RV Site was fairly level and easy to get into. Some sites are a bit close together and not long enough to keep your tow vehicle hooked up. A bit inconvenient if you’re only there for 1 night.

Quiet camping in the woods.
This is a great little state park tucked away in the woods. Campsites are pretty spacious and have nice shade. The campground has two loops, each with a bathhouse located in the middle. Our site (Butterfly Loop #3) was long enough for our motorhome and tow car. The roads are paved, as was our camping pad. The only utility at our site was 30-amp electric. There are water spigots located throughout each loop and we were close enough to fill our water tank. For the most part, the park is big-rig friendly but we did brush against some trees on our way around the loop. Campsites do vary in length so make sure you include your length when booking. We reserved online and were instructed to just go to our site which was nice and convenient. They sell firewood onsite and have a self-pay station which we loved. There is a nice boat launch and the kayak launch has a platform to assist you getting in and out and there are plenty of places to fish from the bank. There is a nature center (which was not open during our stay), playground, picnic pavilions, amphitheater, The bathrooms could use some more attention. The shower curtains were pink meaning they have not been properly cleaned in a while. Needless to say, we did not shower there. The dump station was closed while we were there but we were told we could use the dump station at Tuckahoe State Park (about 10 miles away). We really enjoyed the short hiking trails and paved trail which allowed us to log about 3 miles without having to leave the park. The campground is a really relaxing place to be. We did drive (about 40 minutes south) to the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad National Historical Park and Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge, both of which we recommend. It is also worth a drive to St. Michaels to see the quaint seaside town and visit the maritime museum (plan on spending half a day at the museum). The only downside is that the park is not gated and open for day use so a lot of people just drive through the campground looking around.

5 stars! Beautiful, clean, magical
Magical stay at Point Lookout — New Tulip Loop (Full Hook‑Up) and I’m already planning a return. The whole park feels peaceful and safe, the staff were genuinely friendly and helpful, and our site is clean and well‑maintained. The loop’s energy felt magical — quiet, restorative, and tucked into the trees so it felt private but not isolated. Full hookups were convenient and reliable; the site layout is roomy and pet‑friendly, with an easy walk to a beautiful dog beach so our pup had a blast. We walked to stunning beaches and spent afternoons watching water and sky at the tip of the peninsula — spectacular views where the Potomac meets the Chesapeake. The park’s Civil War history and lighthouse added fascinating, walkable sites to explore between beach time, giving the stay both recreation and depth. Clean facilities, helpful staff at the park office, and well-marked trails made everything low‑stress and enjoyable. If you want a peaceful, historic, pet‑friendly Class A spot with full hookups and gorgeous nearby beaches, Tulip Loop at Point Lookout is five stars from me.
John M.GuideMatoaka Beach Cottages
Fantastic location with winderful hosts
Private campground with cabins and tent sites. Tent sites are first come, first service so call ahead to ensure the space is available. The host family was very nice and easy to work with and talk to. Fire pits were at tent sites and past the office was beach access into Chesapeake Bay. There are trash bins and porta potty’s on sight that are all maintained and kept clean. Beautiful sights and plenty to do in the area with DC being roughly an 40-60 minutes away.
Guide to Prince Frederick
Cabin camping options near Prince Frederick, Maryland extend across Charles, St. Mary's, and Calvert counties with direct access to the Chesapeake Bay and Potomac River. Most cabins in this region sit between 50-200 feet elevation in humid subtropical climate conditions, with summer highs averaging 87°F. Winter cabin stays remain popular when temperatures drop to 25-45°F range from December through February.
What to do
Crabbing access: At Endeavor Point, cabins offer proximity to prime crabbing locations. "The pier was perfect to fish or crab off of and the beach had great views of the sunrise," notes a visitor who stayed during Labor Day weekend.
Historical exploration: Smallwood State Park Campground provides access to Gen. Smallwood's mansion and historic buildings. "There is a separate historic area in the park, which contains Gen. Smallwood's mansion, and a few other historic buildings," reports one reviewer, mentioning they're "only open a few days out of each month during the summer."
Kayak launch points: Tuckahoe State Park features dedicated kayak launches near cabin sites. "If you stay on the tent side there is a kayak launch. The sites are laid out in a circle with the bathhouse in the center," explains a frequent visitor who rates it their favorite campground.
What campers like
Waterfront privacy: Matoaka Beach Cottages earns praise for secluded cabin settings. "We tent camped at Matoka Cabins and it was a beautiful Peaceful camping trip! Out spot was very private and you could see the bay and hear the waves," describes one camper.
Off-season quietness: Point Lookout State Park provides less crowded cabin camping during winter months. "During the December trip there really weren't many other campers at all, which was nice," shares one winter visitor who still found plenty to explore, mentioning "various nature trails to hike; and we also went to the Point Lookout Lighthouse."
Fishing facilities: Fishing enthusiasts favor cabin locations near designated piers. "Piers for fishing, separate piers for crabbing, and a fishing beach. There is also a full-service boat launch with a fish-cleaning station and a park store with provisions, including bait," notes a Memorial Day weekend visitor.
What you should know
Seasonal bug considerations: Cabins near water bodies experience significant insect activity during warm months. At Point Lookout, a visitor observed: "The setting was very beautiful, but the bugs were killer. Luckily, there was a nice strong breeze blowing off the water during the vast majority of our stay. However, the second it stopped, the bugs descended on us."
Off-season closures: Winter cabin visitors should verify which facilities remain open. "COVID-19 precautions have closed everything indoors, like the little museum, nature center, play ground and camp store," noted one Point Lookout visitor, highlighting that amenity availability varies seasonally.
Site selection matters: At Tuckahoe State Park Campground, cabin placement varies significantly. "We booked site 21, blind. The web site does not say site 21 is extremely small. We have a 25' camper, and it barely fit, length and with were an issue. The firepit was about 3-4 feet from our door."
Tips for camping with families
Activity scheduling: Pohick Bay Campground offers structured programming for children. "They informed us that they had a scavenger hunt for the kids going all weekend, they had an outdoor movie scheduled for Friday night, a campfire story time scheduled for Saturday night and crafts scheduled for Sunday morning," shares a parent who camped with 3 and 1-year-old children.
Cabin proximity to playgrounds: Several parks position cabins strategically near play areas. "We got a site on the inner loop and it backed to the playground and the bathhouse. The site was spacious," notes a family camper at Pohick Bay Campground.
Seasonal water activities: Timing cabin stays with water park operations enhances family experiences. "Pirate's Cove waterpark is definitely a highlight in summer," mentions a Pohick Bay visitor who found the campground particularly beautiful during fall visits.
Tips from RVers
Hookup variations: Cherry Hill Park offers premium cabin sites with full RV-style hookups. "We had a premium site for seven nights. The site was perfectly level with a fire ring, grill, picnic table and table with three chairs," describes one visitor, although noting "I wish there was a little bit more room in between the campers for privacy."
Site leveling challenges: Cabin sites at Smallwood State Park vary in levelness. "Our site was perfectly level. Most sites appeared fairly level. Sites 10-14 were our favorites and ones we'd try to get if we go again," shares a visitor who appreciates the campground's small footprint with only 15 sites in a single loop.
Dump station quality: Cabin visitors with RVs report variable dump station quality. At Smallwood State Park, one visitor found "The dump station was the strangest I've ever seen. Very run down but it worked," contrasting with other parks in the region.
