Simply The Best! If you are looking for a rustic campground on the river with boat ramp, great hospitality, and getting back to nature this is your kind of place! Nature abounds here with deer, birds of all species, and of course the Patuxent River!

Friendly staff. Feel safe and welcome here. Close on the Patuxent river. Good fishing and crabbing. Lots to do for families and senior campers. Very affordable with full service electric, fresh water hook ups, waste dumps and trash drop offs. Bath house is clean and maintained daily. Showers are included. Clean sites with ample space for large RVs. 50 amp service on some sites.

The camp site was great. It was relaxing watching the boats, jet racing, fishing and the various boats docking. There was much food and plenty of crabs to be consumed. Simply, loved. Thanks to for cousin that invited the family and his friends down to his camp site. Thanks Ronald enjoyed it.

Camped there for many years. Once the owner moved in it has been falling apart. Pulled out at the end of last summer because of the drugs and violence. Every weekend police showed up multiple times. One of the cops told me that they "expect" multiple calls every weekend. No one cares for the property anymore. It is just a matter of time before they are shut down. Sad really, it was a nice place.
