Camp Misty Mount

Camp Misty Mount is such a special place and is one of our family’s favorite places to camp. Serene, historic, and beautiful. We love the lower area for the quiet and more wooded environment, and highly recommend cabins 29 and 30. The trails to Wolf Rock and Chimney Rock are our favorites, as well as the route from the Blue Ridge Summit Vista to the Thurmont Vista. Don’t miss this park!

This is our second year taking our girl scouts to Misty Mount, renting out all lower site cabins and the lodge at the bottom of the hill. We had a great time and cabins were good.

This year we did notice that bathrooms were not as clean as the previous year, we had one cabin invested with mice, one cabin roped off and not available, and the rangers acted like we were a huge inconvenience to their day. (Names maybe Aiden and Jessica?) We arrived with little kiddos in tow, after an hour plus drove who needed to use the latrine. We drove down to the site at 2:45 so the girls could go to the bathroom and the rangers blocked our drive so we could not go down to the site. (As of we had done something very wrong by arriving 15 minutes ahead of schedule.) They told us to back out and go until 3pm. We were eventually let on to the site at 3 pm (reservation time) but we felt very unwelcome. At check-in, I did ask about the ranger who was there last year (Adam maybe?) and they said he was gone. Too bad because he was so nice to the scouts and made us feel welcome to the site.) Last year the rangers spoke to the younger campers and explained the site. That was a nice thing.

If I were managing this site I would encourage the rangers to be friendly with guests, and to say something encouraging or welcoming to young campers as they arrive. Maybe get Adam
Back:) At least he was friendly. Otherwise the wilderness there is always perfect. Thank you for having our young campers.

An amazing place to get away from the city and take it easy for a few days

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!

The cabins are lovely. Clean, comfy beds and beautifully located. Staff is knowledgeable and friendly.

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!

A hidden Gem! So much to explore all around!! I want to come back for a longer stay!!

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.

Clean, comfy, quiet and the staff was so helpful. Other guests at cabins were friendly and curtious about quiet time and cleanliness
