Cherry Hill Park in College Park features numerous RV sites with full hookups, including 50-amp service, water, and sewer connections. Most sites have level gravel pads with picnic tables, fire rings, and some include brick patios with cafe tables. Bar Harbor RV Park & Marina in Abingdon provides 91 waterfront sites with 50-amp electrical service and water hookups. Camp Meade RV Park near Laurel accommodates big rigs with full hookup capabilities including sewer connections. Hollofield Area Campground in Patapsco Valley State Park offers electric-only sites for RVs, though the loop roads can be tight for larger vehicles. "The outer loop campsites are easily more level than the center loop. If leveling perfectly is a concern you may want to call ahead and ask before committing to the inner loop."
Several RV parks near Arnold maintain seasonal operations, with Tuckahoe State Park Campground open from late March through November. Cell service varies significantly between locations, with most urban parks offering reliable connections while more wooded areas may require signal boosters. Dump stations are available at most state parks, including Greenbelt Park Campground, while private facilities typically provide full sewer hookups at individual sites. Pet policies are generally accommodating, though many parks restrict walking areas. One camper noted, "The campground seemed to stress pet restrictions both in the rules section of their registration packet and signage around the grounds." Propane fill service is available at Bar Harbor RV Park, while many others require visits to nearby supply stores for refills.

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.
ScoutSimple and friendly check in process. Clean and well-maintained site.
GuideSpent two nights while we saw the Avett Brothers play at Wolf Trap. Nice flat site with power. Campground was quiet and clean. The only negative is communication and signage. It took us a couple wrong turns to find our site and when we came back, after the concert around 11, the entrance gate was closed and we had to sneak in through the exit gate. Asked the next day and they said that is what campers do to access the park after 11pm.
RangerWe stayed at Redemption Springs to get relatively close to Baltimore without bringing our 30ft travel trailer into the city. Seth and the other gentlemen I spoke with were all extremely accommodating. Enjoyed learning about their approach to restorative farming and purchasing a variety of treats at the farm store. Beef, pork, chicken, seasonings, baked goods, and more. We booked on Hipcamp and recommend following his driving instructions. Our rig fit fine by tuhe main barn and they kept an eye on us going in and out to make sure we didn't have issues making any of the turns. Lots of farm life!
RangerWe stayed at Little Bennett starting on Labor Day Monday and left before the weekend, so it is hard to say how this looks when the campground is full of life. They had quite a few activities for families and a pavilion capable of concerts and such, but there was minimal activity during our stay. My biggest complaint is that the gate code changed and we didn't get any notice--so after a long day and a dinner out near Baltimore (nearly an hour away), I had to call the police to get back to my camper. Otherwise, the campsite was relatively spacious and quiet. The bugs were a little rough. Lots of whitetail running around.
GuideIf 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. Just a quick 5 min walk to the river...right across from the Academy. NEX, gas within 10 min walk, and 15 min drive to downtown Annapolis. Staff is always great here, and the park is clean....for a park on the woods.
ScoutThe park is very well maintained, and the campsites have clean fire pits and cooking grills. The restrooms are clean, spacious, and well maintained, and my campsite was large enough to comfortably fit a 6-person tent and a canopy.
However, there were a few concerns during our stay. Despite the campground’s quiet hours policy starting at 10:00 PM, many campers continued to make noise well past that time. I did not notice any campground staff or maintenance personnel making rounds to enforce the quiet hours.
I also felt concerned about security. One of my neighboring campers, who was visiting from South Carolina, told me that his generator had been stolen during the night. He reported the theft to the police, and an official report was filed. Incidents like this made me feel unsafe while camping.
I recommend increasing staff or security patrols, especially during the evening and overnight hours, to enforce quiet hours and improve the safety and security of campers and their belongings. With better enforcement and security, Burke Lake Campground would provide an even better camping experience.
TravelerOne of our favorite places. Very well kept. No bathhouse so bring your own. A lot of shady sites. Great views of Chesapeake bay. Flat roads in the area for cycling.
GuideA beautiful, well maintained park with lots to do, great bathroom facilities and extremely nice people. The electric sites aren't all together, so you don't have RV's lined up but maybe annoying for folks who are tent camping. Avoid the locations in the mid-30's by the dumpster, both staff and campers start shaking the lid around 6:30. Between 5 AM and noon staff were driving big trucks and ATV's around with loud reverse horns, and slamming the fire pit grills, which they store sideways. Overall I had a really wonderful time, but that's largely down to good sound reduction inside the van. Almost zero cell service. I was able to get a couple of text messages in and out, but seemed to be a fluke.
Maryland's Eastern Shore offers diverse camping options near Arnold, spanning from the Chesapeake Bay to inland forests. Campers can find sites in close proximity to waterfront activities, historic sites, and urban attractions. Both RV and tent sites near Arnold, Maryland are typically available year-round, though amenities vary seasonally with some campgrounds limiting water hookups during winter months.
Water activities: Campers visiting Bar Harbor RV Park & Marina can enjoy direct water access. "You can fish from the pier or right from your site. There appeared to be a boat dock as well," notes Laure D. The park offers kayak rentals and dedicated areas for launching small watercraft.
Hiking trails: Patapsco Valley State Park provides extensive trail networks accessible from Hollofield Area Campground. "We enjoyed hiking the trails directly from our campsite that led us down to the Patapsco River. There is a lot of history associated with the River and the area," writes Travyl Couple.
Wildlife viewing: Tuckahoe State Park Campground offers opportunities to spot local wildlife. "If you enjoy beautiful sunsets, seeing bald eagles every day, having a nice breeze, not too buggy, well kept campground this is the place to go," says Lisa V. The park includes an aviary housing birds that cannot be fully rehabilitated.
Metro accessibility: Greenbelt Park Campground provides convenient transit options to Washington DC. "Take the METRO if you are going into the District. There are two stations very close to camp. Rides vary depending on how far you are going but on average I spent about $10 per day on METRO versus $20-$40 on parking in the district," advises Crystal C.
Waterfront camping: The ability to camp directly beside water attracts many visitors to the region. "Beautiful waterfront sites and good location right off 95. We are here visiting family for the holidays and it's serving us well," writes Casey L. about Bar Harbor RV Park. "Cute little dock, fishing from your campsite if waterfront and an area to put in small boats or kayaks."
Privacy between sites: Campsites in this region often feature good separation. "The sites are well maintained. The bathroom/showers are the cleanest I've ever seen, especially since we stayed in the hottest time of the year. The sites are laid out in a circle with the bathhouse in the center," notes Jessica K. about Tuckahoe State Park.
Campground access limitations: Several campgrounds have specific entry requirements. Fort Belvoir Travel and RV Camp requires military credentials, while Camp Meade RV Park reminds visitors of their location on a military base. "Was great not to have to really worry about anything because you are securely on post. I forgot all about revielle. They reminded me," reports Elvin J.
Site configurations: Campsite layouts vary significantly between parks. "Sites are on top of each other. Water hookup access was on the ground. It was raining and the area was saturated with no where to drain," notes Elvira A. about one location. At other parks, campers praise the spaciousness.
Seasonal operation: Many campgrounds in the region operate seasonally. "Weekend was cold but the park was pretty full. This is close to us so it was an easy trip. Full hookup but we're told to turn off and unhook water the night it dropped below freezing," reports one camper about winter camping precautions.
Playground access: Several campgrounds feature play areas for children. "There is a 'natural' playground in the loop, and then if you drive down further to the park entrance, there is a large playground for the kids," notes Jennifer S. about Hollofield Area Campground. "The kids loved it."
Recreation options: Cherry Hill Park offers numerous family amenities. "Playground, Mini Golf, Swimming Pool, Hot tub, Basketball court, Snack bar on site, Nightly hayride," lists Beth R. This makes it popular with families seeking structured activities.
Bathroom facilities: Bathroom quality significantly affects family camping experiences. "The bathhouse is dated but clean," reports one camper. Another notes, "Bathrooms are located in the middle of each loop, and there are spigots on the loops with potable water."
Site leveling considerations: RV campers should research site grading before arrival. "Some sites are a little unlevel, front to rear, but definitely manageable. You really need a toad since supplies are not very close to the camping area," advises Mike H. about Fort Belvoir Travel RV Camp.
RV size limitations: Many campgrounds have specific size restrictions. "We took out 1st trip to Tuckahoe over the 4th of July weekend. We really liked the park, but beware, the sites can be small! I watched people with 25+ footers struggle to back into the sites," warns Buck P.
Hookup availability: Water access varies between campgrounds. "Full hookups but we're told to turn off and unhook water the night it dropped below freezing. They do fill up propane but there's a Tractor Supply about 20min away that will also fill them," advises one RVer about winter camping protocols.
