About
State Park
Savage River State Forest is a solid spot for those who want to get away from it all. Located near Grantsville, MD, this campground offers a peaceful retreat with plenty of space and privacy. The sites are spread out, giving you that deep woods vibe, and many back up to a creek, which adds a nice touch of nature right at your doorstep.
One of the standout features here is the allowance of alcohol, making it a great choice for adults looking to relax without the usual campground noise from kids. You can enjoy a quiet evening by the fire, with hunting and fishing opportunities just a short walk away. Fires are allowed, so you can gather around the fire pit and enjoy the serene surroundings.
The campground is pretty rustic—don’t expect amenities like showers, toilets, or electric hookups. But if you’re okay with roughing it a bit, the trade-off is worth it. The sites are huge and right off the park road, making them easily accessible. Plus, the views are fantastic, with a beautiful river nearby and thick vegetation providing a sense of seclusion.
Visitors have praised the cleanliness and accessibility of the campsites, and the overall experience seems to be very positive. Whether you’re pitching a tent or parking an RV, Savage River State Forest offers a genuine camping experience that’s hard to find these days. Just remember to bring everything you need, as there’s no market or drinking water available on-site. Enjoy the peace, the privacy, and the natural beauty of this Maryland forest.
