Learn more about alerts →Families who want river kayaking from camp, a pool for kids, and day trips to Assateague or Ocean City will get real mileage here. Showers are reliably clean and hot, the camp store handles forgotten essentials, and bald eagles show up without much effort.
Sites pack in close with little screening, so noise from neighbors is real on summer weekends. Bug density gets serious after dark, and at least one family left early over the spider situation. Large RVs should check site dimensions before booking.

Summer delivers warm, humid days in the mid-70s to low-90s°F. The pool is open, fireflies come out at dusk, and the river is perfect for paddling. Expect mosquitoes and busy weekends, especially July through August when families use the park as a basecamp for Ocean City beach trips. Winter camping is quiet and bug-free, with stark cypress swamps and crisp air. The park stays open year-round, though the pool and some programs shut down off-season.
Spring likely strong for paddling, birding and wildflowers with fewer crowds than summer.
