The park rangers are always friendly and helpful. The value is fair. Restrooms are clean and well lit. The free firewood is very helpful. But don't forget your kindling!

In a beautiful wooded setting, the cabins are rustic but have the essentials of lights, a good mattress on the cots and now electrical plug at each bed. The fire ring, picnic table, and free wood available encoarage fires for cooking and social gathering. The heated bathrooms with flush toilets and showers balance the rustic with the modern. There is a short and a long trail to Catochtin Falls which is lovely. The are many hiking trails and rock climbing opportunities. The small Nature Center is worth a visit too. The Park staff are very helpful.

But shoutout to Ranger Grimes for such a perfectly friendly welcome to the park.
We had a wonderful weekend at Misty Mount full of memories that will last a lifetime.
We’ll be back next year!

It was a nice experience in a historic cabin! Staff was informative and friendly. The pool was great, restrooms/showers are up to date and clean. Presuming they are trying to preserve an atmosphere of sedate woodsyness, the no vehicles idea is great. The beds are surprisingly comfy, and no a/c is ok due to many windows. We came for the hiking and expect to return.

The description of the cabin notes that it’s a drive in site however there’s no way to actually drive to the cabin to drop your stuff off. Instead you have to park in the parking lot and lug all your things down to the cabin. We had 3 kids and were staying for a whole week so it was a lot. The pool was nice and the bathrooms were clean! If you have kids, want to be close to the pool and dishwashing station I would suggest to stay in the upper loop.

Amazing!!! I used to camp at Misty Mount with my family as a child. Being back 25 years later with my own family was so special. Many good changes, but everything felt so very much the same!

My main concern was that there would be enough space for our baby's pack and play crib. We stayed in a four person cabin and there was tons of space for the crib and space for our baby to crawl and play. The facilities were clean and lovely. We really enjoyed our stay!

Going to Camp Misty Mount is like stepping back in time but with much appreciated upgrades to the cabins such as ceiling fans, indoor and outdoor lights, and outlets to recharge devices. After an invigorating hike to Wolf Rock and Chimney Rock, nothing beats relaxing in the pool with trees all around you. Add in an evening campfire and you've got a perfect day.
The park rangers and camp hosts are super friendly and helpful. You can just tell how much they love Camp Misty Mount. Thank you!

I have made it my mission to visit state and national park as a hobby, and let me just say Camp Misty Mount did not disappoint at all. The cabins had spider webs, but that was a little minor issue; however, the cabins were spacious. the property is clean and amazing.
The property had trails close by. No need to drive, just plan to do the yellow trail for about 5 hours. But you can do it faster if you do not stop to take thousands of pictures, video's and snack breaks along the way.
This was my first national park cabin, and it did not disappoint. Also there is wood in th property. Just load the wood up, and pull it to your cabin. And if you visit during the summer they have a pool.
