Elk Neck State Park Campground
Clean bathrooms and hot showers, great hiking and beautiful sites.
Maryland's state parks and federal campgrounds accommodate a range of RV camping needs with varying site dimensions and hookup options. Assateague State Park Campground offers water and electric hookups for RVs from April to October, with designated RV sites separated from tent camping areas. Cherry Hill Park provides full service hookups including 30-amp and 50-amp electrical connections with big-rig friendly sites. Elk Neck State Park Campground maintains year-round RV sites with electric, water, and sewer connections, though some sites can be challenging to level. At Greenbrier State Park, RV sites include electric and water hookups with big-rig accessibility, though the park operates seasonally from April to October. "RV sites are huge and private, not on top of one another. Beach, boat ramp, hike to the lighthouse with incredible views of the 2 rivers and bay," noted one camper about Elk Neck.
Advance reservations are strongly recommended for popular Maryland RV parks, particularly along coastal areas and during summer months. Many campgrounds near Ocean City and Assateague Island fill completely on summer weekends, with holiday periods requiring bookings months ahead. Sanitary dump stations are available at most state park campgrounds including Rocky Gap and Assateague, though not all primitive campgrounds offer this service. Cell phone coverage varies significantly, with stronger signals near urban areas and potential dead zones in mountainous western regions. Several campgrounds enforce seasonal closures, particularly those in western Maryland during winter months when access roads may become impassable for larger rigs. Pet policies generally allow dogs in RV camping areas but require leashes and proper waste disposal. Some private RV resorts near Ocean City feature additional amenities like cable TV connections, while state parks tend to offer more basic services with greater spacing between sites.
"Great location, the friendliest and most helpful staff, beautiful surroundings, lots to do, kid and pet friendly"
"Wasn’t sure at first… kind of a lot of money for one night with no sewer hook up, but the amenities make up for the price! The western show was so fun! Frontier town was cute and not too cheesy!"
$65 - $350 / night
"Site #271 Full hookups: 20/30/50 amp water & sewer
Very nice/small campground on the Sinepuxent bay."
"Beautiful location with lots of space for everyone. Great beach and tiki bar. Pools for the family and very pet friendly."
"It is close enough to ocean city we can enjoy the beach daily but far enough to relax in the woods! This campground is the small sister campground to frontier town."
"We had two lodging options, one back in campground for our pull along camper and a 2-room cabin for the extended family."
$75 - $115 / night
"Our first visit (March 2018) was just prior to peak season (lower rates) and we had a site literally 10 ft. from the water! Full hook ups and sites were a little close, but nice."
"Some of the trailer sites are a tough back in but worth the trouble. WiFi is good washrooms are modern and adequate. A lot of long term residents but the transient sites are pretty separate."

Clean bathrooms and hot showers, great hiking and beautiful sites.
Lovely little campground in a beautiful forest, with a great waterfall hike walkable to the campground. I stayed in Garrett in October and it was still packed full of people, which for me was nice because I like feeling like I'm in a community of campers. But the sites were super close together, basically right now the main drag, not very private, especially without leaf cover, and a little smaller than I expected. But well kept, in more forest than I was expecting, and I enjoyed myself. The canyon trail was mobbed, but it was a stunning weekend so that's not surprising. Bathrooms in the offseason could have used a bit more attention, but they weren't too bad.
Close 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.
There are numerous Md. State DNR Campsites along Savage River Road.. No hookups but water may be available at Big Run State Park. These campsites are remote and very private for the most part. Some may be able to accomodate trailers and RV's for dry camping. Check MD DNR WEBSITE for more info
Beautiful area. Very primitive, which is great. Roads were fairly decent to the campsite. Didn't stay near the water and no mountain view but still nice. Had a nice trail into the woods.
Simple and friendly check in process. Clean and well-maintained site.
The 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.
This was my second time staying at Greenridge in my twenty foot Dodge Ram RV van. This was a convenient first stop on my trip to Yellowstone NP. I arrived mid afternoon on a Saturday in August and there were plenty of sites available.
The sites are spaced apart and while I could see other sites were occupied as I drove to mine, I did not see or hear other people the entire length of my stay.
The dirt road leading to the site was well maintained and in good shape despite recent heavy rain.
The site was just few miles from the highway, making it easy for me to continue my journey the next morning.
This is a great camping spot. The sites aren’t too close together and the hosts are very friendly. The only reason I gave it four stars is because we are near a highway so you can hear cars throughout the night. But the crickets make up for it by being as loud as possible. With the fees, it cost $25 for a non-electric site and with access to showers after a long trek I was happy to pay.
Maryland offers a diverse range of RV camping experiences, perfect for those looking to explore the great outdoors while enjoying modern amenities.
