This
was a quick weekend get away! The park is 6 miles outside of Frederick,
MD just north of I-70. As it is within a two hour drive of both Washington,
DC and Baltimore, MD I figured it would be crowded. Boy was I
wrong. Even though it appeared that they were "sold out"
(almost all the sites had a reserved sign on them), probably 1/3 of the sites
were empty the entire weekend. The park was very nice with 35
campsites. Many of these are for tents only or are not suitable for a pop
up, so there are about 15 "good" sites, but only a few of these have
electric.
There is a lot of
hiking in the park and an activity field with a swing set for kids.
I'm sure we will
be back here. Site 22 for electric or site 16 for non-electric
