Fort Frederick Campground

Camped here with a cub scout. Campsite was near the water and offered port-a-pottys as bathroom. Can buy firewood at the visitor center

Maryland's first state park and likely the best. Camping along the river and amazing history told by park staff. Stone fort from 1756, rebuilt by CCC in the 1900's.

The campground is well kept but I wanted to highlight a few if booking here. Our family does quite a bite of camping in the state parks and these are a few things I've noted in comparison to other parks. 1 - If there is significant rain, many of the sites flood, including parts of the gravel where tents must be kept. 2 - Sites are VERY close together and depending on your neighbors, this could be an issue. 3 - There are no separate areas for RVs or dogs, so you may be stuck listening to a generator running and dogs barking (like we were). They should have specific sites designated for them in my opinion. 4 - There are trains running all day/night at random times, so light sleepers should pack ear plugs. 5 - There is a shower, however it's not at the actual campground. You have to travel u

Was a wonderful fall 2020 camp 🏕 trip. Trains were cool to listen to at nite. Hiking trails were nice. Clean campground & nice ppl.

I would not recommend this campground. While you're right along the river there is zero privacy between the 29 campsites. Each campsite is located right next to each other with no brush or covering separating you from your neighbors. There's partial shade and you're walking distance to the fort but otherwise it is far too crowded and
