It's my second time at Owens Creek Campground and I remain thoroughly satisfied with the amenities, my site's cleanliness, and the natural environment (I got to hike on) but the real star this recent stay was the campground's current host (whose name I forgot); me and my group were really taken by him as a nature lover (and his aptitude for the role) . We really hope to see him again,

I've stayed at Owens Creek many times in the past 7 or 8 years. It is my favorite campgrounds! There is plenty of space between tent sites and nicely wooded so you have privacy in your tent site. Each site has a fire pit and a picnic table with firewood available in the park. The bathhouses are always kept in clean, decent condition. Beautiful hiking trails within Owens Creek and nearby in Catoctin Mountain Park and Cunningham Falls State Park. The Appalachian Trail is just a short drive away as well.

We arrived later, in the evening. There was a detour. Scary fog and police lights at the top of the mountain, by the military area.
Luckily, I was familiar with the park and hoped the woods road would lead me back down, past the group sites, and to the campground.
There was no signage to help us.
However, after finding our way back from the residential area, to the campground, we were amazed to find that someone, maybe the camp host, left us firewood and kindling ready, for us to use.
Awesome way to end our vacation.
