What to do
Water activities at Shenandoah River access points: Andy Guest/Shenandoah River State Park Campground offers direct river access for fishing, swimming and paddling. "The river view from the primitive sites is worth the extra walk from the parking area," notes one visitor who appreciated that "the campground provides wagons to transport your stuff" to these waterfront sites.
Hiking on varied terrain: The 5-mile trail around Lake Habeeb at Rocky Gap State Park Campground provides a moderate hike suitable for most skill levels. "A lot to do here! Great way to see all sides of the park," mentions a reviewer who enjoyed exploring the full circuit around the lake.
Off-road vehicle exploration: The Cove Campground maintains dedicated ATV trails for motorized recreation. "Spent a weekend here in mid May. Bugs weren't a problem at all. Several rustic campsites with a large lake for the kids, and miles of off road trails for atvs, jeeps, and dirtbikes," writes one visitor who appreciated both the water activities and trail system.
What campers like
Natural water features: The Cove Campground visitors frequently mention the swimming lake as a highlight. "On top of them having an outdoor gun range... they have a small beach, picnic tabels everywhere, a volleyball ball sand court, a dock, you can fish in the lake, rent non motorboats," writes one frequent camper who enjoys the varied water recreation options.
Unique camping animal encounters: Multiple campgrounds feature resident animals that add character to the experience. A visitor to Hagerstown / Antietam Battlefield KOA mentioned "my kids were obsessed with the goats and the little mining table," highlighting amenities that particularly engage younger campers.
Historical sites within short drives: The cabin accommodations at Harpers Ferry / Civil War Battlefields KOA provide easy access to significant historic landmarks. "Location, Location, Location! Close proximity to plenty of historic and tourist places to visit. The Harpers Ferry National Historical Park Visitor Center is literally next door," notes one camper who used this KOA as a base for regional exploration.
What you should know
Winter accessibility varies by site: While many cabins offer year-round accommodations, services may be reduced in winter. One visitor to Rocky Gap State Park Campground noted: "Water and electrical available at all the spots even though it was winter. Bathrooms and showers were nearby and clean. No cell service but the Visitor's Center has WiFi available."
Strict reservation policies at some locations: Camp Cacapon enforces minimum stays during peak season. "We stayed 3 nights in May with small 17 ft travel trailer. Beautiful, peaceful, immaculate campground- which now offers hot outdoor (enclosed) shower and hot water in the bathrooms," noted a spring visitor who appreciated the full amenities.
Cell service limitations: Many cabin locations have limited connectivity. One camper at The Cove Campground observed: "It's worth noting that cell service is minimal to nonexistent — not a big deal for most campers, but something to keep in mind."
Tips for camping with families
Book family cabins early for summer weekends: Larger family cabins with multiple rooms fill quickly, especially at Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park in Williamsport. "Lots of things to do for younger ones. The adults can still relax in the lazy River and pool," mentions a family who enjoyed the water amenities designed for different age groups.
Check age-specific activities before booking: Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park in Williamsport MD schedules regular family programs. "This was our first time camping here and it will NOT be our last. This Campground had everything I wanted. Shooting range, ATV trails, fishing, hiking and great campsites," writes one parent who found activities suitable for their entire group.
Consider primitive sites for older children: Several campgrounds offer walk-in tent sites with more privacy. "Nice and peaceful and staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Lake was very nice and would be the perfect place to cool off on a hot summer day," reported a family who appreciated the quieter atmosphere at The Cove Campground's more remote sites.
Tips from RVers
Leveling challenges at some sites: Uneven pads can create setup difficulties. A visitor to Harpers Ferry / Civil War Battlefields KOA noted: "Heads up, big rig owners! Our Pull-thru FHU Patio site had a serious slope. It was impossible to level my 45' motorhome without elevating the front wheels dangerously in the air."
Limited sewer connections: Many state park cabins lack full hookups. "We had a full hook up pull through but it's really unlevel. We ran out of blocks trying to level on this site and were still off a bit," reported one RVer at Rvino - Ridge Rider Campground who found site preparation challenging.
Access road considerations: Some cabin locations have narrow approach roads. "The roads are gravel and could use some work, I'd recommend 4x4 drive," advised a camper at The Cove Campground who navigated the unpaved access routes.
