It’s a well kept campground, but the highway noise is constant. If you’re sensitive to sounds, I would not recommend.
Hobgoblin Hollow
Great parking area to visit over at Catoctin Furnace on a hike. A pedestrian bridge over Rt 15 is exciting enough, but the bridge over Little Hunting Creek always takes at least an hour of my time admiring this rolling mountain stream. To me it is worth wandering around the old furnace ruins reading historical markers and learning the process of iron works. A nice hybrid self tour / hike.

Only basic camping facilities in the winter, but it’s open 12 months, clean, & safe. DNR staff here are typically pleasant and professional. This part of Cunningham Falls SP is situated right along busy RT 15, so there’s some road noise.

Beautiful location this time of the year. Clean restrooms. Completed a grueling 11 mile trail run at this location...almost died but the park is great.

I love this place, it’s sad to see how little space the raptors are given though. Also, watch your step, rattlesnakes in the area. They mind their own business but if you step on it, another story. I was walking with my dog from the water to the parking lot and luckily I saw the rattlesnake before she sniffed it. But it was calm and just slithered away. Very beautiful but deadly. Leave them alone and they leave you alone.
