Middle Ridge Campground provides full hookups for pets, with campers noting that all sites are pet-friendly without breed restrictions. The campground offers spacious wooded sites with ample space between campers, making it ideal for dogs that need room to relax while leashed. Pets are welcome at all 16 campsites including tent areas, RV hookups, and cabin accommodations. The owners routinely check on campers with pets to ensure they have everything needed for a comfortable stay. Campground access includes hiking trails suitable for walking dogs, with paths that wind through forested areas and lead to fishing ponds.
Several nearby options also accommodate pets, including Wapocoma Campground along the South Branch River, though campers should note they have a "no bully breeds" policy according to visitor reports. Both campgrounds maintain clean facilities for campers traveling with pets. Middle Ridge features donkeys on the property that are safely separated from camper areas but visible to pets and their owners. Dogs particularly enjoy the wooded environment with numerous hiking paths for daily exercise. The Romney area offers several veterinary options within driving distance for emergency pet care. Water-loving dogs can enjoy river access at Wapocoma, where the gravel beach provides a place for supervised swimming. Visitors camping with pets should prepare for mountain terrain and bring appropriate leashes for the trails and campground areas.
"Just got home from a lovely week in Romney. We found the perfect campground, a mile or so off route 50, deep in the woods. Each campsite surrounded by trees. "
"As soon as we stepped out of our motorhome it felt like we could relax. You could hear the birds tweeting and see squirrels playing and even butterflies dancing in the sunlight."
"The only thing I didn’t like was there was no privacy when you exited the shower, just a large common changing area but we made the best of it."
"There is a playground for the kids and bring the bikes for them to ride around the campground. It is a nice family campground. It's close to the town of Augusta for supplies or extra groceries."
"We always try to book “outside” loop sites so we don’t have “back neighbors” but none near the lake were available, so we took our chances on an “inside” site in E loop."
"The best loops for families with pets are Dogwood and Elm. No pets? Go to Ironwood loop and get a site close to the water. Water is readily available. The bathrooms are clean and the showers warm."
from $23 - $29 / night

TravelerAbout a half a mile down to gravel road to a very small boat launch and a loop where there are some fire pits but this is not really dispersed camping in the traditional sense. I saw a few fire pits on the other side of a guardrail where you could pitch a tent alongside the road. Noticeable highway noise in an otherwise scenic location
TravelerLovely 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.
ScoutQuit, right along the creek, dollar general is right down the street. If only that house wasn’t looking down on me🤷♂️
GuideI fear that yurt glamping may have ruined me against tent camping again! This was absolutely lovely. We stayed in the painted horse yurt. Cozy, comfy, lots of amenities. The only downside here is the sulfur odor the water in the bathroom has, but it is very good for your skin at least! I’d stay here again for sure.
TravelerGreat spot! Water taps appear to be turned off for winter. Flushing toilets. Waterfall hike nearby!
ScoutGenerous sized sites, quiet, beautiful area.
ScoutStayed here for 2 weekday nights in mid-October, late season. Nice & quiet. Warm showers, clean bathrooms, nice staff.
There was some vehicle activity with vehicles as they were still running river trips.
Very pleasant.
GuideQuite the dump and almost no one around to talk to. There is a bathroom with running water, flushing toilets, and a shower. But it is cramped and not attractive. Most of the sites are right underneath the freeway, and very noisy. Primitive sites away from the road noise are nothing more than a wide area of the dirt road.
GuideThere 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
Middle Ridge Campground spans 16 wooded campsites across Romney's mountainous terrain, situated at approximately 1,100 feet elevation. The campground's gravel roads require careful navigation, especially for larger vehicles on the steep, narrow access routes leading to the mountaintop location. Water pressure can be limited, typically measuring between 20-25 psi at campsites.
Fishing access: Travel a short distance from the main camping area to reach stocked fishing ponds at Middle Ridge Campground. "My husband and oldest son had a blast catching fish in their ponds! Large campsites with good spacing between guests, which makes your site feel private," reports Kayla M.
River activities: The South Branch Potomac River offers swimming and paddling opportunities. At Wapocoma Campground, "The campground has a large river frontage with a gravel beach. Fishing is great as well, we never catch anything huge but the numbers are always fantastic with a 40 or 50 day not uncommon," according to JD L.
Hiking trails: Explore the 5-mile loop trail around Lake Habeeb at Rocky Gap State Park Campground. Jeff H. notes, "The 5 mile hike around Lake Habeeb is enjoyable. Great way to see all sides of the park. Across the lake from the campground is a casino and resort."
Spacious wooded sites: Campers appreciate the natural separation between sites. "We really enjoyed our stay. Quiet camping on top of a mountain. Beautiful wooded views. Hosts were amazing and plenty of space between campers. All the spots are shaded," writes Lyle & Stephanie H. about Middle Ridge.
Clean facilities: Many campgrounds maintain well-kept bathhouses and common areas. Kimberly H. reports about Rocky Gap: "The bath house was kept very clean, even though the campground was full. We brought paddle boards and the lake was perfect for paddle boarding."
Wildlife viewing: The Cove Campground offers unique animal encounters. Nancy L. mentions, "Free range, friendly goats wander around, which is kinda fun." Similarly, at Middle Ridge, campers enjoy the resident donkeys that are safely separated from camping areas.
Access challenges: Mountain roads can be difficult to navigate. Stephen H. warns about Middle Ridge: "Road to access the campground was good with some tight turns up the hill the last couple of miles. The campground itself is gravel roads that were pretty tight gettin in and out of and fairly steep with trees on all sides."
Water pressure: At several campgrounds, water supply can be limited. "Water pressure was just a bit weak and used our water tank and pump during our stay. Best we could get for water pressure out of the hose was 25-20 psi," notes Stephen H.
Pet policies: While many campgrounds welcome pets, Wapocoma Campground has specific restrictions. Gene E. mentions, "We really wanted to go to this campground, but 'no bully breeds' allowed means we will never go or recommend."
Kid-friendly activities: Look for campgrounds with designated play areas. Katie H. says about Rocky Gap: "Near the beach there is a nice playground near shade for parents to watch. I really like that there are trails from the camp loops to the beach."
