As far as the actual tent sites go, they were pretty nice, the sites aren’t overly priced and you don’t feel like you’re on top of your neighbors. However, I stayed in loop B where there is no water or electricity (which I knew about) but the closest bathhouse happened to be closed without any prior notice from employees. I ended up packing up a night early due to having to drive 1/2 mile to the bathroom each time. I also stayed during their “Halloween palooza” which was great for kids. I only wish they had more things to do as an adult.

Absolutely beautiful campground! All of the staff are so friendly and helpful! Here from Alabama so we’re used to good hospitality and this did not disappoint!

Great Montgomery County, Maryland, Campground during weekdays. Open in Winter as well. Great place to chill with good friends. Nice pull-through spots to 5th Wheels and Trailers. Years back we took our cub scouts for several tenting overnights.

I was very surprised to get a bill for $75.00 for one night, off season. Bath and showers are not open, and the picnic table is so old I can feel the splinters from inside my RV. The sites appear fairly undeveloped. Amy was very helpful and let us know that one bath house is open. It was too late for us to move the distance so we could not shower, but I'm glad she updated us. Amy helped us with a needed move, too.

Absolutely love this campground! Very clean, amazing staff, very family oriented. It was a Halloween theme weekend when we stayed and my kids had so much fun. Lots of activities and Halloween theme activities. Our site was very spacious and quiet at night. We had such a great weekend and will definitely be back ♡
