Because I am a retired carpenter I really enjoyed the sawmill exhibit. Bathhouse was clean and excellently maintained.

Love Owen's Creek campground! Such a beautiful area, one of my favorite places to explore in MD. Easy access to bathrooms, showers, and hiking. Will absolutely be back!

Oh, and you might want to bring an axe to chop wood, the wood they provide tends to be rather large chunks and I've found it easier to keep the fire going strong if I break it down a bit more. Most sites have a good stump to chop on.

Beautiful campground! Lots of great leveled spots to choose from even with handicap options. Each spot has a fire pit and picnic table and was surrounded with trees, the creek and hiking trails right from campground. We experienced a very rainy couple of days but still had a wonderful time camping at Owen's Creek! With proper gear no weather is bad! They supplied dry firewood for donation which kept us warm and dry as well. Thanks for the clean bathrooms as well and utility sink for dishes.

  • Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
  • Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.

  • Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
