Rating: 1 3 6 8 2 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Streets through town to get to park are very narrow. After you cross railroad tracks, be ready for a really dusty potholed road to campground. Check in was weird - we were given orange bands to display so staff could know we weren't "squatters". Finally got to "campsite" to find electrical and water hookups were at least 50 feet away. Campsite was on the edge of potential water hole if it rained any at all. Tried to get a refund as we decided we were NOT going to stay. Were told refunds had to be approved through general manager at main off-site office. Called and of course he had just left office for the day. We left to find something else. Refund was finally approved 3 days later. All we can really say is: JUST DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT GOING HERE unless you see it first. Best thing that can be said is that the campground is on the Potomac River. - gwvwadc
My husband and I had planned to stay here for our first overnight stay in our new 26' TT. The drive to the campground was the first issue we ran across. The roads through town to get to the campground were very narrow and it was hard to make turns at stop lights without running up over curbs. Once we got through town and over the railroad tracks, we went down a very narrow gravel road, pass the sewage treatment plant and arrived at the campground entrance. I will say the lot we attempted to setup at had a very nice view overlooking the river. However, it was an extremely unlevel lot and we did not have very good success trying to setup the camper. After ruining one of our stabilizer jacks, we decided to pack up and go down the road to a different campground. - HappyCampers508
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Brunswick Family Campground »The road to the campground is narrow as everyone has said. The sites are on grass, very little shade. Some are pull through & some are back ins. The utility pole is far but if we pulled up, we'd be too close to the road. The road inside campground is very bumpy. Only one bathhouse, not convenient for everyone. Port a potties around though. The sites are long but neighbors are close by. Fire rings & picnic table. Playground & volleyball net. Hiking, biking trails. OTA TV local channels. Dump site use inconvenient. - jcpjane

Rating: 5 6 6 6 5 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: I selected this park because it was little more than an hour's drive to DC and the Smithsonian, and there are few decent campgrounds any closer. I generally choose to camp away from big cities. The staff was very helpful and friendly. However, Harpers Ferry KOA was a disappointment, especially given the resort pricing I had to endure. The campground itself, only slightly larger than the parking lot in front of the office, was basically a gravel hill, divided into tight, barely large enough sites, with such poor drainage that the week's spate of showers littered the grounds with perpetual puddles. The power supply for my site was poorly located, forcing me to use an extension cable. When I arrived, and when I left, the campground was mostly empty, except for a few units parked in a row apparently reserved for long-term campers. But that week bracketed Easter weekend, when the park was packed to the gills! There was so little room in the sites that campers plunked their play equipment down in the lanes, so that when I returned from errands, I had to wait on the site-holders to move the equipment out of my way. Clearly it's a popular park for weekenders and holiday campers, who can return home to brag about roughing it. But for a traveler like myself, who lives in his RV in constantly changing locations, this is not a park I will choose again. When I return to the Smithsonian, I will look elsewhere. - Jim Fulton
We booked two sites online for our favorite area of the campground that is wooded. When we checked in we were told that part of the campground is closed for the season so we were assigned sites in an open area with many other campers who were there for the Thanksgiving holiday. It was like a parking lot. Cable TV and wifi reception were poor. Rate shown reflects a "Buy 2, Get 1 Free" campground deal. We would have been even more disappointed if we paid the full rate for sites we didn't want. - ms5002h
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Harpers Ferry / Civil War Battlefields KOA »This KOA was chosen for its location close to Harper's Ferry. It is a typical KOA with very tight sites. Interior roads in the camping loop were very tight. Utilities were easy to access. There were numerous OTA television channels. Verizon and Sprint coverage was very limited. The fenced dog park was large and shaded. The fire ring sits directly on the grass and there were 2 previous sites uncleaned of scraps and abut 2 inches below grade. The park was very crowded due to Halloween special events. - bbmidwife

Rating: 9 8 9 10 8 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: We stayed at this campground for an overnight stop on our way home. The campground is located in a forest, with paved roads and gravel sites. Sites are large, well separated, shaded, and private. RV/trailer sites have electric hook-up only. Water is available at a number of locations in the campground. OTA TV is limited, Verizon signal is good, and there is no WiFi. Restrooms and showers are clean and well maintained. There is no traffic noise. A dump station is located near the campground entrance. We would stay here again. - tnyankee
Nice State Park in Maryland! Pleasantly small camping area, with only 34 sites. It was an enjoyable 5 night stay! The weekend nights were busier, which apparently had the drive by female campground supervisor needing to check on every site very often. A few comments and suggestions were a little unnecessary. The weeknights were a bit better with the male drive by campground supervisor(s) simply driving by and waving! The camp host was convenient and helpful when needed for information. Pet friendly park and campground! Shower/Restroom facilities were well lit, clean and in easy access for all campsites! Beautiful shaded campsites! Each site has a large well built picnic table and fire ring with grill insert and 2 lamp posts which were quite handy! All roadways in very good condition! Lots of wildlife everywhere you look, helping to make our camping trip an enjoyable one! - patti&charlie
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Gambrill State Park »A great little campground. It is centrally located to many historic areas and Maryland State Parks. There is a small pond to fish in and trails to hike within the park. The only sad part was that the park host is leaving this year and she not only kept the entire park clean, but assured that it was safe and quiet. - electrician549

Rating: 7 4 5 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: This park has easy access and is big rig friendly with level sites, concrete patios, good utilities but is mainly a trailer park with many permanents. As their website describes, $45.00 a night with a three night minimum. Basically the only game in Frederick and is okay if you want three nights. - RJourney
As others have mentioned, this is not an RV park: it's a mobile home park that added spaces for RVs. It's not very tidy, but it was adequate for what we wanted: to be close to Frederick. Most RV sites are full of people doing contract work in the area for 4-6 months. All spaces are pull-throughs with concrete pads, which was nice as we got a lot of rain. No shade at all. The manager was very helpful and accommodating and he seems to keep a close eye on the park. Lots of restaurants and shopping close by. And while it's not an RV resort, if we return to the area we would stay here again. - mauigirl7254
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Evergreen Point Village »This 'park' is NOT a campground. This is a former Mobile Home park that has been 'transitioned' to an RV camp (not campground). The only amenities are a laundry room. No Restrooms, no showers, no playground, no pool, we even have to mow our own grass!! The rates are very high ($800/month) but it does INCLUDE Electric (I have only used my propane sparingly for cooking). The manager is only here on Tues and Thurs from 10:00am-2:00pm. He is a nice guy, but not educated as to how a 'campground' should operate. Everyone here is permanent to semi-permanent and working in the area (Mostly men, very few families). I plan to be here until Jan 2010, when my husband hopes to return to the US (from working in Abu Dhabi, UAE) and we can finally retire and take off! The one thing that attracts people to this camp is the location. It is in the heart of Frederick, MD close to EVERYTHING! Very convenient location. - onthecoach

Rating: 10 9 6 9 9 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: In my view, Fall is the best time to visit this little gem, a time when the crowds of summer are gone, the foliage along the well-marked and quite diverse trails is magnificent, and pets are allowed to romp in the beach area. This park is one of our family's nostalgic favorites and provided our children with a foundation for a love of camping. The facilities are well maintained, the many trails offer varying levels of difficulty and include access to the Appalachian Trail, and the ranger-naturalist programs are interesting and well attended. If only they would bring back the Saturday evening ice cream socials, which were discontinued last year... - TentingTimesTwo
The park is easy to access from main roads and interstate but far enough back that the only "road noise" is a racetrack/drag strip that is near-by. As you enter the park, there is a convenient park station that you have to pass to check-in; parking lot can easily accommodate 4-5 large RVs plus vehicles. Campground has limited access with gate and keypad; it is fairly narrow and oversized RVs may be challenged. Dump station is on left as you access to fill up with water since only electric is available. Sites are then easy to access with well maintained, paved roads. There are 3-4 ring-roads that are alphabetical but named (Ash, Birch, Cedar, etc). Sites are easy to access although different sizes. Most are on the side of the sloped hill and at different elevations. All have covered by trees and many large rigs came in. Some sites have sloped driveways although the sites are fairly level (ours required 2 blocks on the right side that you couldn't tell by looking at it). Very quiet. Bath houses are centrally located but we did not use. Water points are throughout the ring road. Ring roads are curvy and long travel trailers would need to go slow; 35 and below probably no problems (at least on Cedar). We stayed in a 25' Travel Trailer. - Next Mission
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Greenbrier State Park »Site was partially shaded, more private than many others in the loop, but still not very secluded. Nice and level. Hardly any space between sites. Definitely the tightest MD state park we've camped at by far. Luckily, we were there during the week, so it was not crowded at all, and reasonably quiet. Had we been there on a weekend, I can only imagine that the crowds and noise would have driven me crazy.
Facilities/Overall Park: Bath house was fine; very average as far as bugs and cleanliness. Only 2 or 3 shower stalls, IIRC; never a wait while we were there, but I imagine the lines are long on weekends. There was a relatively easy hiking trail from the campground down around the lake, with some nice, quiet little spots for fishing. To get to the sandy beach area of the lake, we drove, since we had 3 kids and a ton of crap to transport. The lake area is very nice, with tons of picnic spots in the shade. However, every single picnic table was in use, and the beach was pretty crowded, and we were there on a Wednesday! I can only imagine how packed it would be on a weekend. Despite the moderate crowds, we really enjoyed ourselves, and I think I liked it even better than the lake area at Cunningham Falls. - Jenventola -

We needed a place for one night on our way to Florida. Nahkeeta provided us with a basic pull through site, but there is not much to recommend it. There was significant road noise. The 50 amp service kept tripping our surge guard. We probably would not stay here again. - Dave51
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Nahkeeta Campsite »This campground is basically an open field, but a very nice open field at that. Sites were grassy but on a slight slope. Roads were gravel. There are no bathrooms, picnic tables or fire rings. It is a no-frills kind of place, good for an overnight stay but not all that convenient being 4 miles or so from Interstate 81. I did appreciate the spacious, open sites and the price is right. - The 3 Blands

This is the fourth campground / RV Park we've stayed at in the DC area. $51 for an electric only site is expensive even for this area. The campground's D loop is the only one with electric service, and has water spigots along the road every few sites. This loop has some sites that can handle big rigs, but some sites are only suitable for small RVs. Most sites are unlevel; we needed three wood blocks under each of our rear wheels and more under our jacks, so you probably won't be able to rely just on your jacks. The campground is heavily wooded which is lovely and gives lots of privacy between sites, but also means it's dark inside the RV even during bright sunny days. Interior roads are heavily wooded and some tree scraping was unavoidable. There are a few walking trails through the woods which were great for walking our dog. There are two bath houses, one in E loop and one in C loop. They were reasonably clean but full of webs and bugs in the corners. While the water was hot and pressure was good, the shower stalls were tiny with no shelves to hold your toiletries, and share a changing room separated from the rest of the bathroom by a curtain. There's an electronic gate at the entrance to the park, and when you check in they give you the code to get in any time. AT&T and Verizon both worked fine. Access to I-270 is very quick and easy. We'll likely stay here again because it's the closest park for visiting family. If it wasn't for the very unlevel sites and high price, we'd give Little Bennett a higher rating. - LifeRebooted

Rating: 8 5 10 1 7 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: I love the campground, but I dislike my RV site. As someone else mentioned, the RV gravel sites in the 700 loop are extremely unlevel (not "kinda-sorta" unlevel, I mean badly unlevel). Right now I am five levelers deep under both of my front tires and my fridge still is not level. I am just going to turn the fridge off and use my cooler for the night. Electric is good. Wifi works great on both my cell phone and my laptop and I am able to stream Netflix! (off-season = better wifi) - The RV area is pretty open to the elements. Very little shade. The trees are only about six feet high, planted in the last few years. The RV park is next to a farm. You can hear the animals and smell the manure when the wind turns. Showers are modern, heated, clean, hot water lasts forever! Dog park is large and maintained. Almost everything is closed down for the season. The pools, the store, amphitheater. Feels like a ghost-town. I doubt that it feels like that in-season. Haha. If you are not good at walking, or you just prefer being lazy during your camping weekend, be aware that you will probably need to rent a golf cart. This park is fairly large. From the 700 loop to the main desk is almost a 1/2 mile (I used my fit-bit to track it). - Londonandrews
A good first impression for any business is very important. This park failed that test. Unfriendly person at the front desk. Retrieved our reservation packet, handed over a 2 page form and said, in a hateful manner, "look this over and sign". When pointed out there was no place for a signature on the first page, said abruptly "2nd page". No explanation what the from was. Then "wait at the stop sign for an escort". No other info given. That experience was enough to give a bad impression. How about, "welcome, glad you're here". A large park with good sites, but not for us again. Hopefully, they will give the front desk persons some training on customer relations. - starwind
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Hagerstown »Ok this place is seriously under rated! When I arrived earlier than the 3pm check in time I was charged an EARLY Check In Fee...which I reluctantly paid. Once I drove through the park to my site I was very surprised at the layout, the cleanliness and helpfulness of the staff. This campground had as much or as little as you or your family wanted to do from the choice of 2 pools, a water park, zip lining, a FULLY stocked and reasonably priced camp store plus lots of interaction with Yogi, Boo Boo and Ranger Rick. We will defimetly come back here again and I will read the fine print in the reservation agreement especially when it comes to early check in. - ETCTA
