It's great to have a campground this close to D.C. so you can do day trips to all the sights around. Visited the Wharf area in Baltimore while camping here. The code system and entrance gates are a little tricky, but are needed for safety in the middle of this metropolitan area. The showers could be cleaned more frequently but the water was good and hot. The hosts seem diligent and available. Firewood is for campfires $5 for 8 pieces fall of '24. We had to use levelers for our site at 418. Great for families.

Great staff, very friendly. Nice wooded area. I did find the sites to close to each other. Great if you like to make friends, but not so good if you enjoy keeping to yourself. Overall it was very quiet and well kept. Bathrooms do need help. There was a sign on the door that renovations are coming. Some sites have electrical hookup, but no water.

I'm staying here for 2 weeks (the max you are allowed to stay). There are few others here due to being the end of the season. The RV sites are electricity only but showers and water are close by. I love the trees, relative seclusion, and hilly terrain. Thin on facilities. It is not a "playground" park which is the primary attraction for me. Historic Ellicott City is very close if you need retail or restaurants. I absolutely love it here.

I love this little gem near Baltimore. Dog and family friendly. Electric sites and primitive sites. Ice on site and firewood on site 24 hrs on the paybox honor system. Dated but clean restrooms and plenty of trails for hiking and biking. River for fishing. And quiet and dark at night. Park staff are awesome.

Beautiful location above the Patapsco River. Well maintained trails. Beach along the river gets overcrowded during the summer. Besides that, it's amazing to have such gorgeous trails so close to Baltimore.
