Owens Creek Campground — Catoctin Mountain Park

Not convenient to anything

It’s secluded. In most cases, that would be great. However, the area lacks a decent trail infrastructure leaving much to be desired in “stuff to do.” Don’t let the Owens Creek name fool you. It’s a brook, at best. No fish here, but there are enough places within a 10-15 min drive that you can fish somewhere else. The bathrooms were super clean inside, but they looked filthy on the outside. Snakes and spiders abound here if that’s enough to scare you off. Best part of this site is the donation wood shed. Nowhere have I seen a place that made it easier to get firewood in that moment where you forgot it or ran out. Recommend Cunningham Falls State Park if you want to be in the area, but this is a decent fall back.
