The park is spacious, clean, and well appointed. The amount of fall foliage we were able to see was truly incredible. The bath houses are spacious and clean. Every member of the staff was helpful, kind, and informative. The office store is well stocked and organized with all kinds of souvenirs as well as other helpful and necessary items. Multiple trash bins in fairly close proximity to all lots, but we did notice a lack of pet waste/bag stations. We unfortunately didn’t stay as long as we’d have liked so we weren’t able to enjoy all the park has to offer but that is not a reflection of CH and solely on our travel plans and the cold snap that rolled through. Beautiful park, spacious with more lots to come soon. I highly recommend it if you're visiting the Washington/Baltimore area with pets.

I can not say one bad thing about this camp ground. The customer service is amazing. The lots are nice and big. The price in my opinion was way under what it could be with all of the amenities. Everything and I mean everything was clean and top notch! I wish we could have stayed for more than two days.

We loved this campground! The process of checking in and out was a breeze. The campground is laid out very well. It's super clean on the grounds and in the bathhouses. The walking trail is well maintained, as are the other amenities. We had food from the cafe that was really good, the service was quick, and the young ladies working there were very friendly and helpful. We do not have one complaint... We loved this campground!

We stayed here in September at a premium tent site, what an amazing campground! The site was very nice with a gazebo, hammock, camp chairs, and a nice and level tent pad with soft mulch. The dish washing station at the center of the circle was very convenient. We enjoyed swimming in the pools, soaking in the hot tub, sweating in the sauna, and running through the splash pad.

The game room is affordable and has a really cool digital payment system. There’s a very cozy family room in the clubhouse with a comfy couch and fish tanks. Several playgrounds, lots of walking and hiking, a little pond. The bathhouses are VERY clean and well maintained. The staff were all very nice and we had an amazing time.

Great RV park. Probably one of the best that we have ever stayed at. Staying at Cherry Hill allowed my family to have easy access to the DC area by means of the Metro. the RV park in itself was top-notch. Facilities were outstanding, very clean and up to date. Lots of activities provided by the RV Park which made our stay most enjoyable, espceiacally for my grandkids

Absolutely Gorgeous place to put your camper, right at the waters edge. Friendly staff and wonderful neighbors too. Peace and serene environment. Only draw back was there's no rest rooms/powder room to shower. They have placed portable potty around the camp. I will visit again, my babies loved the place...

The campground was nice, our spot was a premium water front spot with excellent views, but just as with every campground/ RV resort you have built in neighbors and on Saturday evening our neighbors had invited 50 of their closest friends for a party, instantly turned the place into a carnival scene..

The sites were very adequate for our needs for our time here. The staff is very attentive. It is in a great location and proximity to many of the areas in part of Maryland. There are no restrooms here so you need to be self contained. They are right on the water. Our site was about 80 yards from the water. We will be back in the future.

We spent Friday through Sunday at bayshore and really enjoyed it. Very quiet and laid back. You have to be self contained which is no problem for us. Just a short drive to rock hall to visit shops, restaurants, farmers market etc. Will definitely be back! Thank you Bayshore!
