GuideThis campground checks all our boxes. Beautiful scenery, quiet location, spacious campsites, full RV hookups, well-placed fire rings, dog park, nice large bathhouses, polite staff, and Wi-Fi that works.
This is located about an hour away from my home, so we plan on making this our go-to for quick camping getaways throughout the year.
Highly recommended. Definitely worth checking out.
RangerThis may be the first campground I give a 10 out of 10! All the amenities your could want, it's clean, sites are leveled, it's maintained beautifully, there are cows in the distance, fully stocked store, friendly staff. Laundry, bathrooms, fairly spacious sites, a pool, dog park. Very, very nice.
GuideNew Germany State Park is situated in Garrett County Maryland. The park has a small lake, a few trails, and two camping loops. The Hemlock loop- the only loop that allows pets, is smaller and is mostly made for tent camping, though one site has electricity, but only big enough for a teardrop camper. There is a bathroom with a hot shower. The problems with the Hemlock loop is the proximity to the other campers. Our neighbors were loud, their kids were louder and their dog was ear- splitting loud. The tent pads are varied in size with sites 52, 53 and 57 being just big enough for a large tent and not much else. Every site has a large picnic table ( that is impressively hard to move) and a fire ring. Some sites are not very level, not not as much that your rolling out of bed in your sleep. There is water, but just at the bathroom area. This makes sense since the loop itself is very small. Deer are dense in these parts, and bears frequent the area. Summer temps usually do not get as nice 85max most of the summer. There is also cross country skiing in the winter. Despite the smaller sites, the Hemlock loop is frequently full, as is the non pet loop, which can accommodate larger tents and RV’s., but no pets.
ScoutVery conveniently located off the interstate. Follow the signs to the campground NOT the GPS in order to avoid some narrow and sharp turn roads. Staff were super friendly! Front desk staff were knowledgeable and and helpful. We had some issues with our power, and Larry was at our site within minutes to fix it. Big open dog park! There are only a few shaded spots. Spot width was a little narrow where we stayed (on the hill), but perfect for a quick overnight stay. Bathrooms were fairly clean, laundry was nice. The pool looked very well maintained.
TravelerI was the only tenter at the time of my stay; had the whole place to myself. The sites are spread far apart and wooded. Table and fire rings are at each site. They have a brand new bath house which was spotless and a well kept dog park for the furs. If desired, there is a group campsite and the use of a pavilion too. The camp store if beautiful and has everything in it should you forget something. I’ll definitely be back.
GuideStayed 3 nights because I wanted to be centrally located to the he Flight 93 Memorial and Falling Water (about 30 miles to each). The non pet section is heavily wooded and very shady. The pet section is more of a loop set up with some trees. The no pet section had no, zero, zilch cell service so my stay was super quiet. Site 173 was easy to back into and had a large picnic area with a fire ring next to the brook. There is a lake with a small beach and a boat launch and numerous hiking trails. The park will s very nice pretty and during the week fairly empty. I would recommend
RangerThere are two main loops in this campground. One that is pet friendly and more of a pitch-your-tent-in-the-yard thing and another that is pet-free and wooded. We didn't realize and stayed in the first one. Dogs were barking at all hours and there's no privacy. We drove through the other one and it looks so much nicer. Campsites more spread out with trees in between and way quieter. Will definitely stay there if we return.
GuideThe kids had so much fun playing in the water we didn’t have time to hike and see all of it. We spent time in Swallow Falls as well as neighboring Herrington Manor state park where they have a “beach” for swimming and boat and SUP rentals. The prices for rentals were very reasonable and the concession stand was cheap!!! 2.50 for large fries, $1 snow cones, it was nice to splurge on snacks and not drop a small fortune.
We stayed at the camp ground in swallow falls in a pop up camper. The camp ground was quiet and well maintained though it is more suitable for tents and not trailers or RV’s. The bathrooms were decent for public bathhouses, they were cleaned daily but the were outdated. I would definitely come back but maybe with a tent next time and not the trailer. The camp store had the necessities at fair prices. Firewood is sold for $4 a bundle.
We did have a pet friendly site reserved but found out after we arrived that dogs are not allowed out of the campground. In order to hike with our dog we had to access the trail just outside the state park. This would have been nice information to have before arriving with our pet. Pets are allowed within the park Labor Day through Memorial Day.
GuideDue to a water main break, only one bathroom and showers were available. Bathrooms were quite old and run down. There are over 100 sites. Pets are only allowed on specific loops and cannot be walked on “non pet” loops. We had an electric site which was pretty level for our van. Bike trails were more like hiking trails ( not single track Mtn biking trails). I found this park to be “just ok”.
Campgrounds near Masontown offer diverse camping experiences across West Virginia and Pennsylvania. The region features elevations ranging from 1,100 to 2,500 feet with moderate summer temperatures typically in the 70-85°F range. Many sites drain well after rainfall due to the area's natural clay and limestone geology that helps prevent excessive mud even during wet camping seasons.
Explore the overlooks: Rhododendron Camping Area provides easy trail access to scenic views. "Wake up early and watch the sunrise at the overlook I'm telling ya!" shares Emily M., who recommends taking advantage of the nearby viewpoints.
Visit historical attractions: Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Mill Run serves as a convenient base for regional exploration. Robert C. notes about the Ohiopyle area, "There are a multitude of fun activities to do in the area. I feel fortunate to live only about 2 hours from this beautiful place, with the Montour biking/hiking trail running right through it."
Water activities: The region offers multiple swimming options at various campgrounds. A reviewer at Chestnut Ridge Regional Park mentions, "There is a pond you can swim and or fish at," with Wes O. noting the popular "sandy beach where kids are often found collecting newts and fishing."
Large, private campsites: Tall Oaks Campground receives praise for its spacious sites. Candy shares, "Very large tent site and surrounded by woods. Not close to your neighbor like most campgrounds. Peaceful! Van Life sites are tucked away in the woods for privacy."
Clean, well-maintained facilities: Cleanliness is frequently highlighted in reviews. According to a camper at Sand Springs Campground, "If you're looking for an old campground with new hookups in the middle of the woods this will be one of your favorite spots on Earth." Laura H. adds, "The sites were very easy to get into even with the giant beautiful trees everywhere."
Nearby recreation options: Proximity to outdoor activities enhances the camping experience. Philip T. notes about Mylan Park, "While the park itself is essentially a big parking lot, it is smack in the middle of plenty to do! The lot is level and the spots are pretty large, with different types of hookups."
Reservation timing: Football season impacts availability at several campgrounds. Molly F. mentions that Sand Springs "gets booked up for holiday & football weekends because of limited full h/u in area."
Bathroom facilities vary: Quality and maintenance of bathrooms differs between campgrounds. At Rhododendron Camping Area, Emily M. advises, "The bathrooms at the overlook are better maintained than the campground bathrooms plus the camp bathroom light didn't work while we were visiting so it got a littttttle creepy after sunset."
Road access considerations: Some campgrounds have challenging access roads. Jeffrey L. notes about Sand Springs Campground, "Was tricky backing in. Lots of tress." Tony C. adds, "About 3 miles from the interstate, narrow roads. Big rigs probably hard to back in."
Look for built-in activities: Some campgrounds offer family-specific amenities. Rich E. shares about Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park, "with 2 swimming pools, 4 water slides, tractor rides, fire truck rides and a train ride alongside the free activities for the kids there is always something fun to do."

Choose sites with exploration potential: Benner's Meadow Run RV Campground earns praise for its family-friendly layout. Tom C. explains, "Got a nice secluded spot to camp in the wooded area that had amazing mountain views and the star gazing platform. Kids had a great time and lots of activities for them to do!"
Site spacing and privacy: Pet-friendly campgrounds around Masontown often provide good spacing between RV sites. Mike G. reports about Coopers Rock State Forest, "The spots were well spaced out and pretty spacious, the site we were in had electric hookup for 50a/30a/20a but no water at the site but there was water near the bathroom area."
Level sites are valuable: Finding level spots can be challenging in this hilly region. Joni P. cautions about Benner's Meadow Run, "The site was sloped pretty bad side to side and there is a drop off on the one side of the fire ring so we could not sit completely around the fire."
Hookup variations: Different campgrounds offer varying hookup options. Josh W. notes about Coopers Rock, "The new section is open and ready. Water and Electric Only. Dump station on the way out. 50amp - No issues." Karen adds about Sand Springs, "This is a peaceful and overall well maintained campground...it was challenging to level because the big gravel rocks on the site."
