The campground and cabin was clean and very well-maintained. Had everything I needed for a perfect nature getaway. The ranger who checked me in was friendly and super helpful, showing me some trails on the map and giving me tips about the park. I will definitely be back!

We had four cabins for our GS troop. Facilities are clean, although we got lost looking for the trail connection from camp to the Blue Whiskey trail. A ranger came down to our base camp the day we left to swear in the girls who had completed their junior ranger badges! The girls want to camp here again!

Staff was very friendly and helpful. Cabins and bathrooms were clean with hot water and great water pressure. Enjoyed the hike and view on Catoctin Mountain. Thank you for all your hard work!

I had a pleasant stay at this campground and would definitely recommend it. Although I arrived after the office had closed, picking up the key to my cabin was straightforward and hassle-free.
It rained quite heavily during my visit, but the cabin remained completely dry with no leaks. All amenities inside — the light, fan, and outlet — were in good working order.
There was no T-Mobile service at the cabin itself, but I was able to get a signal along the main road within the park.
The location is excellent, with several hiking trails nearby. There are also a few farm stores within a 10-minute drive that offer fresh, delicious produce.

I understand this is a historical site, but it could use some updating. Our cabin was full of holes and mice got in and into our food. The lower women’s bathroom had moldy vinyl curtains and only one stall worked. It was clean otherwise. You are also not allowed to have a canopy over your picnic table, so keep that in mind. The staff was pleasant but we will not be returning.

I am a 41 year old woman who camps every year with my girlfriends and all of our kids. I recently had a baby and we thought cabins might be a little easier this year, rather than tents. We were so disappointed. Youre not allowed to have hammocks, clothes lines or canopies. The park rangers and workamper were not friendly at all, in informing us of the rules. Someone, we guess, had previously moved some rocks from the middle of a path and so it appeared to us to look like a rough road path. The workamper was so nasty and even threatened our children with calling "law enforcement" if they didnt take her immediately to their guardians (we were unloading in the cabin next door). Some people had dogs, which wasn't allowed, and youre not allowed food by the pool, which is kind of silly. Just lots of rules and staff that are not clear or personable in explaining them. A positive was that the cabins had ceiling fans and firewood was plentiful.

Wonderful family experience. We will be returning. The pool and facilities were always very clean. We stayed in cabin # 49. The only negative was our fire ring was very close to our neighbors fire ring.
