Best Time to Camp at Nrc Solomons (Area C)

This campground embraces all four seasons with open arms, thanks to heat-taped waterlines that keep everything flowing even when winter settles in. While the core amenities—including the renovated bath house, coin laundry, and convenient pump-out station—serve campers throughout the year, warmer months transform the area into a waterside retreat. Summer brings the swimming beach and pool complex to life, complete with attentive lifeguards and boat rentals that let you explore the surrounding waters at your own pace.

Spring (Mar-May)

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