Camping Journal

This was our second trip to Tuckahoe. The first trip allowed us to figure out which were the best campsites. We stayed at site #20 this time and took advantage of the electricity! The weather forecast was for rain, and many spaces in the campground were empty. It was very humid, and the AC was a lifesaver. After setting up the pop-up, the LP gas was not working. I assumed (bad thing to do) that it was an empty tank and Felica brought another from home. When It still didn't work, a little cleaning of the orifice at the tank, and a little love tap with a hammer caused it to start working. As with the first trip to Tuckahoe, the patrols by rangers was excellent. We never went more than a couple of hours without seeing a patrolling ranger. "Ranger Ford" stopped by the campsite for about an hour telling us about the area and other Maryland parks.

Handicapped Availability:

None noted. All sites are gravel/dirt and are not level leading to the road. The bath house is in the middle of the campground with uneven dirt paths leading up to it from all but 1 side. On this side it is the access road for service vehicles, but would probably suffice for a wheelchair. Sites 4, 6 & 7 are the closest to this road. No grab bars or other devices noted in the bath house.
