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.

We loved our stay in cabin 45. The bathrooms were close and look to be recently redone. All of the instructions for check-in, check-out, etc. were clear, and the park employees were kind and helpful. I appreciated not having to pay for firewood. Trails were great (we hiked Cunningham Falls and Catoctin Mountain Park). Also had fun exploring the town of Thurmont: Bollinger's Restaurant, Catoctin Mountain Orchard, Loys covered bridge, Gateway Candyland, The Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes (this is a serious religious place, but we went for the art). Only stayed one night because they were booked, but next time plan to stay longer!

I just love it at camp Misty Mount. It's so peacful there. The bathhouse was very clean and warm. Staying in the cabins there, reminds me of being in the wilderness. I feel so relaxed there, like a don't have a care in the world. This was my third year in a row I've gone, and hope to be there again next October.
Thank you for keeping up with the care of the grounds and making it enjoyable for all to go there.

Everything went very smoothly at Camp Misty Mount. The camp host was very helpful, and I had a very nice conversation with the Ranger and her intern. The cabin provided exactly the getaway that I needed.

Had a great experience. Really needed a quiet night or two away and this was the perfect way to recharge and reset.

Our experience was great. The cabins are rustic, but have a ceiling fan and an overhead light and patio light. Mattresses had a vinyl cover (bring your own bedding). The only drawback is that our cabin's fire pits and picnic table can be were closer to our neighboring cabin's fire pit and picnic table. One of the bathroom buildings was recently renovated. Very clean with sinks, flush toilet, and a shower. Firewood was available for donation.
