Secluded and beautiful!

This site is snuggled in between a few small mountains in the Maryland landscape. It's part of the the Cotactin Mountain national park area managed by the National Park Service. It isn't a large campground and the sites are a little close together, but it's location is ideal for exploring this gem of a park.

There are several hiking options of varying difficulty and length. There is a small Visitor's Center as you enter the park that is packed full of exhibits, a few items for sale and informative rangers and volunteers.

To reach the campground you drive north on Park Central Road from the VC, past Camp David (not listed on any maps for security reasons) until it dead ends then turn right and the campground is just a bit further down on the right.

There's not much to the sites but like I said, the location is awesome.
