Best Time to Camp at Wolf Den Run State Park

Mountain weather here keeps you honest. Even after several sunny days, trails can hold onto moisture, and afternoon rain squalls have a habit of rolling through without much warning, sometimes leaving campsites temporarily pooled with water. Come prepared with proper rain gear and waterproof equipment—this is authentic mountain camping where conditions can shift quickly, adding to the adventure rather than detracting from it.

Spring (Mar-May)

Wildflowers bloom, mild temperatures, fewer crowds. Great for hiking and photography.

Best

Summer (Jun-Aug)

Peak season with warm days. Most facilities open. Reserve ahead.

Fall (Sep-Nov)

Beautiful fall colors, cooler temps, quieter campgrounds. Ideal for peaceful trips.

Winter (Dec-Feb)

Off-season, limited services. Check for closures before visiting.

About Wolf Den Run State Park

Tucked away in the rugged mountains of far western Maryland, Wolf Den Run State Park beckons adventurers seeking an authentic backcountry experience. This intimate primitive campground draws OHV enthusiasts and wilderness lovers who crave the solitude of deep forest and the music of rushing river water just steps from their tent.

Officially a primitive campground with 10 primitive sites (gravel tent pads); users also report a few larger roadside/RV pads along the access road. No developed lodging or cabins are reported.

Natural Features and SceneryImagine waking to sunlight filtering through a canopy of mixed hardwoods, with the sound of clear mountain streams echoing through steep hollows and rocky ridges. Several coveted campsites perch right along the river's edge, offering front-row seats to an undeveloped landscape that feels worlds away from civilization. The terrain here doesn't apologize for its wild character—rocky soils, dramatic elevation changes, and interconnected waterways create the kind of scenery that reminds you why you love the outdoors.
