Tent Camping in Maryland

Ridge Rider Campground

28 RV Sites, 44 Tent Sites

Ridge Rider Campground in Little Orleans, Maryland, offers 27 RV sites and 44 tent sites across 222 acres in the Potomac's ridge-and-valley country, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 45 feet. Full-hookup and water-and-electric back-in categories join a pull-through tier, with an outdoor pool, recreation center, game room, and pond. Twenty-seven sites span back-in full hookup, back-in water-and-electric, and pull-thru categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted with site WiFi, sized to 45 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Confirm your tier, as the water-and-electric category does not carry sewer at the site. Forty-four tent sites make this predominantly a tent property. A general store, laundry, propane fills, dump station, restrooms, showers, portable toilets, firewood, and RV storage handle the practical side. One policy to know: outside firewood is not permitted, but firewood is available at the camp store — a standard measure against invasive pests. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with a recreation center, game room, sports courts, basketball, volleyball, horseshoes, corn hole, a pond, playground, pavilion, and walking trails filling the rest. Canoeing, kayaking, fishing, swimming, hiking, and biking run on the river, with offroading nearby. Two hundred twenty-two acres where the Potomac winds out of the Western Maryland highlands gives the property genuine space. The C&O Canal towpath, Green Ridge State Forest, and Paw Paw Tunnel are all close. Summer and fall foliage drive demand. Reserve ahead.

The park runs guided tours and an express shuttle toward DC, which removes the parking problem that otherwise defines a capital visit. Spring cherry blossom season and summer drive demand. Reserve well ahead.

Sleepy Hollow Campground

18 RV Sites, 5 Cabins, 9 Tent Sites

Sleepy Hollow Campground in Grantsville, Maryland, offers 18 RV sites, five cabins, and nine tent sites adjacent to New Germany State Park, with 20, 30, and 50-amp electric service and rigs accepted to 36 feet behind a gated entrance. One important detail before you book: the RV sites are not full hookup. Eighteen sites run in 30-amp and 30/50-amp categories carrying electric only, sized to 36 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, and site WiFi. There is no water or sewer at the sites — a water filling station sits beside the bathhouse as the alternative, and a dump station is available. Note the 36-foot cap as well. Five cabins and nine tent sites round out the accommodations. A general store, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. Walking trails run the property, with hiking from the grounds and a state park immediately adjacent. Boating, a lake, river, and golf course are all nearby. Pets are welcome. Western Maryland occupies a narrow sliver of Appalachian terrain pinched between Pennsylvania and West Virginia, and it delivers outdoor experiences that most of the Mid-Atlantic has not gotten around to yet. Deep Creek Lake, Swallow Falls, the Casselman River, and New Germany State Park are all destination-caliber, and Grantsville sits at the center of the whole Garrett County outdoor corridor. Summer and fall foliage drive demand in the Maryland highlands. Reserve ahead, and plan your water and tank capacity around the electric-only sites.

Nature's Getaway RV Park

30 RV Sites, 3 Tent Sites

Plan around the hookups — sites carry water and electric but not sewer, so manage tank capacity and use the dump station. Three tent sites and cabins round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, dump station, restrooms, and firewood handle the practical side. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with a game room, arcade, ball field, billiards, shuffleboard, volleyball, horseshoes, a playground, and swimming filling the rest.

Bedford County sits where the Allegheny Mountain ridges meet Shawnee State Park's forested plateau, and the old Lincoln Highway corridor has carried travelers past this spot since the road was built. Historic Bedford's preserved downtown, the Flight 93 National Memorial, and Blue Knob's skiing are all within reach, with the Pennsylvania Turnpike close. Summer and fall foliage drive the heaviest demand in the Alleghenies. Reserve ahead for holiday weekends and peak October color.

Momma Tried RV & Campground

38 RV Sites, 2 Tent Sites

Momma Tried RV and Campground in Cabins, West Virginia, offers 38 full-hookup RV sites and two tent sites in the forested mountains of the eastern highlands, with 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 70 feet, open all year. A single full-hookup category means every guest gets the same spec, with sports courts, walking trails, a playground, and dog park on a mountain stream. Thirty-eight sites are full hookup throughout, carrying water, sewer, and electric on 50-amp with site WiFi, sized to 70 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Two things to note: service is 50-amp, so bring an adapter if your rig runs 30, and 70 feet accommodates a long coach with a tow — generous for mountain terrain. Two tent sites round out the lodging. Restrooms handle the practical side. A river runs the property for fishing, canoeing, kayaking, and swimming, with sports courts, basketball, walking trails, hiking, a playground, and dog park filling the rest. Mountains rise nearby. Pets are welcome. The community of Cabins is a name that captures the character exactly. This corner of eastern West Virginia is among the wildest and least developed country in the eastern United States — hardwood hollows, cold mountain streams, and the Monongahela National Forest's high country. Seneca Rocks, Dolly Sods Wilderness, Smoke Hole Canyon, and Spruce Knob, the highest point in the state, are all within reach. Summer and fall foliage drive the heaviest demand in the Potomac Highlands, with year-round operation serving hunters and winter travelers. Reserve well ahead for October.

Grand Canyon Motel Resort & Campground

10 RV Sites, 5 Tent Sites

Grand Canyon Motel Resort and Campground in Wellsboro, Pennsylvania, offers 10 full-hookup back-in RV sites and five tent sites one mile from the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 40 feet. A single water-electric-sewer back-in category joins a hot tub, sauna, on-site dining, arcade, and billiards. Ten back-in sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp, sized to 40 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. One consistent category and no guesswork; note the 40-foot cap before bringing a larger rig. Five tent sites and motel rooms round out the lodging, which gives groups a genuine mix of options. A dump station, restrooms, showers, firewood, and on-site dining handle the practical side. A hot tub and sauna anchor the property, with an arcade, billiards, and shuffleboard filling the rest. Pets are welcome. One mile from the canyon rim is the entire proposition and no other property matches it. Pine Creek Gorge runs about 47 miles through the Tioga State Forest with walls dropping roughly 1,450 feet, and Leonard Harrison State Park's overlook — the classic viewpoint — is right there. The Pine Creek Rail Trail runs 62 miles along the gorge floor and is one of the best rail-trails in the country for cycling, with outfitters in Wellsboro running shuttles and rentals. Whitewater season on Pine Creek is short and comes in spring. Wellsboro itself is worth the stop, with gas-lit streets and a preserved downtown. Fall foliage is the peak here and fills the area — the gorge in October is genuinely spectacular. Reserve well ahead for September and October, and for summer weekends.

from $12/night

Route 6 Campground

Route 6 Campground in Gaines, Pennsylvania, offers full-hookup RV sites, cabin rentals, and tent spaces along a peaceful pond on the historic Route 6 corridor in Tioga County. A general store, boutique shop, on-site dining, and a pavilion serve guests exploring the Pennsylvania Wilds. Full-hookup RV sites carry water, sewer, and electric on well-maintained grounds, with cabin rentals and tent spaces rounding out the accommodations. A general store, boutique shop, propane fills and exchange, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side, with WiFi throughout and on-site dining for meals. Pets are welcome. The pond anchors the setting, with fishing from the water and walking trails, hiking, biking, a playground, and a pavilion across the grounds. A golf course and state park are nearby. The property is deliberately unhurried, which suits the corridor it sits on. Pennsylvania Route 6 is often called the Grand Army of the Republic Highway and is recognized as one of the state's most scenic byways, running through a landscape of ridges, valleys, and the deeply forested terrain of the Pennsylvania Wilds. Pennsylvania's Grand Canyon — the Pine Creek Gorge — is the region's headline attraction, with state forest wilderness and genuinely unspoiled rural country throughout. The campground serves the northern tier season. Summer hiking and paddling on Pine Creek and October foliage in the Wilds drive the heaviest demand, with the Grand Canyon overlooks drawing visitors from across the Northeast in fall. Reserve well ahead for foliage weekends.

100 Mile View Camping

7 RV Sites, 7 Tent Sites

100 Mile View Camping in Jim Thorpe, PA, offers 7 RV sites and 7 tent sites, with room for rigs up to 40 feet. Every site is a rustic campsite that takes either an RV or a tent, with a fire pit and picnic table. Be clear on what rustic means here: there are no hookups at the site — no water, sewer, or electric — and sanitation is by portable toilet, so come fully self-contained. The property is rated big rig friendly within its 40-foot limit. Pets are welcome. What you get instead of hookups is the view. The campground occupies 400 acres of rolling Pocono terrain and its high ridgeline delivers panoramas across multiple counties on a clear day — the name is not marketing. Walking trails, hiking, biking, and mountain biking run from the property, with boating and a state park nearby. Jim Thorpe sits three miles away, a Victorian town in the Lehigh Gorge that anchors this corner of the Poconos. Rates for RV and tent sites are on the booking page. Arrive self-contained and with water aboard — there is nothing to hook up to.
