Beautiful Park. A few areas are closed for repairs and upgrades. Parking for the lighthouse has been expanded and is open. So much better than the old gravel lot with only a few Parking spots. Close to North East MD.

Beautiful, steeped in history and natural stunning scenery. Loved the lighthouse and the beech where the water was as warm as a bath.

Great quiet place to get away from busy life style. The trail has gotten shorter than before since they have constructed a new large parking lot. Looks much better than before and clean. Great picnic spot right by the water.

We stayed at the campground, we are usually fall/ winter campers. So needless to say we were hot, and the bugs were a little much. The beach was closed during the week, we couldn't swing the weekend for camping this time around. The site was nice,close to the camp store which had weird hours, 2 pm-8:30 pm but the bathroom and showers were really clean 2 showers 3 or 4 bathroom stalls. The sites were well maintained. Overall it was a nice 3 days

A Peaceful spot in Chesapeake Bay. We hiked the lighthouse trail and the Wapiti pond trail. Luckily the lighthouse was open during Memorial weekend. And the volunteer who guided tourists was the descendant of the lighthouse keeper more than a hundred years ago. He spent Memorial Day in a perfect way, at the spot where he grew up. We had fun hiking, the air full of the sweet aroma of honeysuckles. Mountain laurels were blooming everywhere. A wonderful day trip.

What a great 'hidden gem'! Nice, level, full hook-up sites! Staff (Sarah) was courteous and very helpful. The town of North East is definitely worth a second look!

Cute little state park. There is a small tiny little beach by the light house with tons of little shells. If you don’t know the beach is there you might miss it- while walking from the parking lot to the light house, there is a trail that goes off to the right. Follow that and the beach is maybe 1/4 mile down. We liked that beach more than the North beach.

The entry fee was an acceptable price. However, road conditions, trails, and picnic areas were not clear of any debris.

Beautiful State Park Campground. I commend and thank you to patrons campers, volunteer hosts, and park rangers for keeping the park clean. I enjoyed my time there

We went for a day trip to the beach. Monday mornings must be the day to go! We got there at 10am and only two other ladies there. It slowly got more crowded but nothing compared to a weekend. Easy to navigate to. Easy to register/pay. Nice, shaded area to park. A steep hill to walk down to the beach (the way to the car is the worst... uphill with all the wet, sandy things). Picnic tables in the shade were nice to keep our things elevated off the sand. Plenty of room to play in the sand and water. The water was so warm and refreshing. Pro tip: do not leave the house without some sort of water shoe. The floor of the water is rocky.
