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”.

Rock climbing opportunities: Several climbing pitches up to 50 feet tall at Coopers Rock State Forest, located just 10 miles from Point Marion. "I have been going here for years and I always love to climb this area. The pitches aren't too high (50ft) but great just to get out there and enjoy life!" notes Nick P.
Swimming with dogs: The pond at Chestnut Ridge Regional Park allows supervised dogs while families enjoy water activities. "There is a sandy beach where kids are often found collecting newts and fishing. There is a nice green space for running around," explains Christina W.
Waterfall exploration: Maryland's tallest waterfall (53 feet) sits at Swallow Falls State Park, about 35 minutes from Point Marion. "Several other falls on the Youghiogheny River. Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, Harvey Firestone, and John Burroughs camped on the site in 1918, and 1921," reports Marcandpatti B.
Large, private sites: The camping areas at Tall Oaks Campground feature exceptionally spacious campsites with natural separation. "The spots are huge and mostly very private. I prefer back country camping and not in actual campgrounds. This place is a nice compromise for my girlfriends who aren't as outdoorsy," says Erin P.
Night sky viewing: Several campgrounds offer stargazing opportunities away from city light pollution. "The stargazing opportunities are amazing here. We stayed in a tent site and they accommodate up to 10 people, so they are very large. Our site was secluded enough to have privacy," mentions Indy A. about Tall Oaks.
Consistently clean bathrooms: Recent renovations at Coopers Rock include improved facilities. "The new bath house is excellent. Old ones... meh.. they are old. New section is spaced out with a berm of earth in between a lot of the sites," explains Josh W.
Varying water pressure: Some campgrounds experience inconsistent water pressure at different sites or during peak usage. "Water pressure was good. Bath house was clean. The grounds were very clean and well kept. Staff was friendly. Quiet and peaceful," reports corda B. at Chestnut Ridge Regional Park.
Rustic bathroom conditions: Several campgrounds have older facilities that may lack lighting or require maintenance. "The bathrooms do not have lighting so bring a headlamp or flashlight. Each site had a fire ring and a picnic table," advises Danielle S. about Coopers Rock.
Limited groceries available: Most dog-friendly campgrounds near Point Marion have minimal food supplies. "Plan your meals well, before arriving. There are a couple of restaurants in Ohiopyle, but they are not open late. There are no grocery stores real close," warns Robert C.
Kid-friendly activities: Benner's Meadow Run Campground offers numerous structured activities for children. "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!" shares Tom C.
Level tent sites: Finding flat ground for family tents can be important for comfort. "The tent sites were completely level with no need to worry about rolling down a hill in my sleep, I slept great. The campground was so close to the nature that we wanted to see," explains Mike B. about Swallow Falls.
Dog-friendly trails: Many local trails accommodate dogs on leashes with varying difficulty levels. "Many hiking trails of all sizes and kept clear. My dog is mostly weenie dog, and his little legs made it everywhere. Also had 12yr old son with me and he had a great time," says Lindsay W.
New hookup areas: Recent expansions at Coopers Rock added more options for RVs. "The new section is open and ready. Water and Electric Only. Dump station on the way out. 50amp - No issues. We had empty space on either side of us," reports Josh W.
Parking lot camping alternative: For full-hookup RV needs, Mylan Park offers parking-lot style camping with all amenities. "There aren't a whole lot of full hook up camping spots in the Morgantown area. Mylan park has a bunch of full hook ups in a parking lot convenient to I-79. Easy to get to. Decent sized parking spaces," notes Molly F.
Sewer connection placement: Some campgrounds require extra-long sewer hoses. "Full hookups (bring your long sewer tube, I used 3 x15' as it's at the tail of the spot). Fields & Grassy area adjacent. Good for kids biking & running around," advises Molly F.
