Great spot on the water (#4). Spots #1-3 are nice too but may get windy since they're on the Patuxent River side.

We camped and had a great stay. Our site was spacious and offered incredible sites although despite it being a weekend there were plenty of flights and testing taking place. Bugs were out!

Our favorite campsite to visit! We’ve been before and will be back again! Easy access to fishing, kayaking, biking, or golfing. Great beaches near the site, and awesome views. Buy firewood at the Commissary. We have a canopy/tent attached to our roof rack, and some spots are narrow between the trees, but it’s totally doable. Already planning our return trip!
