It’s a well kept campground, but the highway noise is constant. If you’re sensitive to sounds, I would not recommend.

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.

Walked the Catoctin Trail to Bob's Hill Overlooks. Moderate hike, uphill all the way to the overlook. Nice little visitors center and aviary. Plenty of parking, restrooms, and, a playground. And, a short hike to Catoctin Furnace.

Nice spacious gravel site. M31. Nice picnic table and fire ring. Beautiful scenery! Dog friendly. Some road noise from Rt. 15 but not too bad.

This is a cute little campground - but be aware it is just off the Highway. You will hear traffic noise like you are sleeping next to the rd because you are basically sleeping next to the road. Other than that the sites were clean and relatively private. We have a 26 ft trailer and it was a bit tight getting in the site between the trees - so if you have a longer trailer you may want to take that into consider that. We will stay here again. There is lots of hiking at Cunningham Falls state park and being right in town the campground is very convenient to restaurants etc. One star off only for the road noise

My son calls it the park in the mountains

We enjoyed our stay at Cunningham Falls Manor Area Campground BUT the bathroom was one of the worst we’ve seen in area state parks. There was a rain storm the first night we were there, so naturally there was mud tracked into the stalls, but it took a call to the ranger station to get the floors moderately cleaned. The toilets and showers were never cleaned - one shower bench had mud on it; the other was covered in bugs and was actually a utility ladder/bench. Toilet paper was not resupplied. As another reviewer said, you might want to take your own. I mean, look - we know we’re camping. We know there are bugs and spiders, but other state parks have managed to keep the bathrooms fairly clean. On a positive note, the park is quiet, staff cleaning the sites between guests are friendly, and self check-in is a breeze. Firewood supply is also plentiful. If we go back, we’ll probably stay in the Houck area, which has a dump station and better reviews (cleaner bathrooms).

Bathrooms don't seem to be cleaned much anymore. Been out of toilet paper since we got here. Make sure to bring your own. Camp sites are nice. Most sites have decent space between them for privacy.

Nice campground clean restrooms, sites well separated, was able to squeeze our R-Pod right into our site
