Camp Misty Mount

This lodge is HUGE. I know it says it sleeps 6 and there aren't many good photos online. I was too busy doing mom stuff to get cabin interior photos. You could easily fit 2 queen air mattresses in this cabin. There is a little closet that you can turn into a dressing room if you get creative. Or put a toddler potty in there.
This lodge is a hike to the bathroom. While it is a handicap access cabin, there are no smooth walkways near this cabin. The closest one is past the wash station.
Definitely a perfect cabin for rainy day camping, since there are two covered porch options with lighting sufficient to play games or eat under the shelter.
The EXIT sign was very very bright. If you are able to point away from the sign, you have a better chance of sleeping.
This would have been amazing with a cozy fire "back in the day." The fireplace is simply beautiful.

Trails were beautifully maintained and clearly marked. Gift shop was a sweet bonus we were not expecting.

The cabin was clean; new bedframes made sleeping a bit more comfortable than in past years. Some of our enjoyment of Camp Mist Mount's serenity was spoiled by loud music emanating from campers in another section that blared nonstop on Friday evening until 11PM when the Rangers were finally called to the scene. This music began again on Saturday AM about 8 and continued unhindered until 8:30 PM. Complaints to the Rangers were met with "There's nothing we can do."

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!

Really enjoyed my visit. Everything was great and the camp host were very helpful an knowable. Will return!
