About Nrc Solomons (Area A)

Nestled along Maryland's historic Patuxent River, Navy Recreation Center Solomons (Area A) welcomes military families to a thoughtfully designed campground where modern conveniences meet natural beauty. Full-service RV sites feature graveled pads with 30/50 amp hookups, water connections, and access to a renovated bathhouse, pump-out station, and coin laundry—all set beneath a canopy of mature shade trees just steps from the water's edge.
Area A is configured for RV camping with limited hookups and site amenities; tent, primitive, cabin, and glamping options are not specified for this area.
Historical SignificanceHistory enthusiasts will find themselves in the heart of Chesapeake Bay heritage, surrounded by centuries of maritime and colonial stories. The iconic Calvert Marine Museum and Drum Point Lighthouse stand nearby, while Cove Point Lighthouse continues its watchful presence over the bay. Journey slightly further to explore the fossil-rich Calvert Cliffs State Park, tour the Patuxent River Naval Air Museum's impressive collection, or step back in time at Historic Sotterly Plantation. The tri-county region of Calvert, St. Marys, and Charles counties offers an abundance of museums, historic homes, and preserved sites that bring the area's rich past to vivid life.
Weather and SeasonsThe campground's year-round accessibility means adventure awaits in every season, with heat-taped waterlines ensuring comfort even during Maryland's coldest months. While the recreation center offers activities throughout the year, summer brings the full complement of seasonal amenities—lifeguard-supervised swimming beaches and pools come alive, boat rentals launch from the marina, and the Patuxent River becomes your backyard playground for warm-weather adventures.
Natural Features and SceneryYour campsite becomes a peaceful retreat beneath towering hardwoods that have witnessed decades of Patuxent River tides, offering natural shade and a sense of seclusion while maintaining level, easy-to-navigate terrain. Morning walks to the riverfront reveal opportunities for beachcombing along the shoreline, where the Chesapeake's treasures wash ashore with each tide. Birders and nature lovers will delight in the diverse wildlife that calls this transition zone between river and land home, with patient observers often rewarded by sightings of ospreys, herons, and countless migratory species that follow the Atlantic Flyway.
