More on sites

We were there when a really heavy rain fell. Here are the sites that had at least 1/4 of the campsite flooded; it was still raining when we left, so I don't know how fast they drain.
Sites 103, 118,139, 145, 149,212, 222, 233, 235, 237, 241, 243, 245, 247, 249, and 259.

On the shore of a small lake

The sites are level, lots of trees, camp store in season, 9 miles of hiking trails. However, there is no running water; the toilets are pit toilets.
If you go, come down the road from Chillicothe and then east. Coming from the west on the back roads is kind of scary because the roads are narrow and curvy.

Deep in the trees

We camped in Cedar campground, the only one that has electricity. The campground is hilly, but the campsites are all level. That means that you aren't looking directly into someone else's campsite. Great. Sites are ample and are paved with flaked pea gravel, a very nice surface for parking, but you have to be sure to clean off your shoes before getting into the camper.
Each site has a table, fire ring, and a place to store wood off the ground. Bathrooms are nice.
It is near Antietam and other Civil War sites. This is a very interesting part of Maryland, with LOTS of state parks to go to.

Lovely State Park

The campground sits on a spit of land surrounded by the lake. The sites are large and level. The showers are tiled and clean.
It is part of a state resort that includes an Arnold Palmer golf course, a huge lodge with multiple restaurants, and cottages.
The indoor/outdoor pool at the lodge, with hot tub, is available for camper use, as is the exercise room. The lodge lobby is warm and inviting and a good place to go to sit in a very comfy chair and read.
Lovely, lovely place. But call ahead if you plan to come here because there are only 40 campsites.

Handy for fishermen

If you like to fish or you like the beaches, you will probably like this park. It IS a parking lot with no trees, but it has all the facilities (water, electric, and sewer). But it is smack dab in the middle of the park and you have water almost lapping at your campsite. It is also smack dab next to a highway, but I don't know how busy it is during the season. It was pretty quiet at night when we were there.
Not my cup of tea, but there were more people here than in the very quiet park about 10 miles north.

Top Notch Park

This is a second best private RV park we have stayed in in 6 years of RVing. It is huge (over 500 sites), but it doesn't feel crowded. They have spread the sites out over the acreage and you have more site space than most private parks. Our site needed minimal leveling (we are really picky about leveling).
We particularly liked the fact that a bus comes into the park on a very frequent basis to take people to/from the College Park Metro. Good way to get into DC.
The pools were closed for the season, but the sauna and hot tub are enclosed and still functioning. On Wednesday night, they had a dance preceded by a class. Guess they do this every week. When we were there, the dance was the two-step. We aren't much dancers but it was fun.
Lots of do, great location, good value.

Pull Over sites

The sites here aren't exactly pull through, they are more pull over. You have blacktop roads with parking spots marked off. Between the roads is a sandy area with lots of pine trees. Each parking spot has a table and a fire ring. Unique. But the ground is slightly rolling dunes, so it is virtually impossible to park without adjusting one corner or another of the RV.
No electricity, but there is water at most sites; it's $2 less if you take a site without water. And while it is situated at a point in the bay, it is quite a trek to the ocean.
The town of Lewes is very close and has LOTS of restaurants and gobs of history (it was the first town in Delaware). The ferry to Cape May is just down the road, and that makes it easy to go either way.

Not for everyone

We loved this park. The sites are very ample and many are quite private. They are level and, although they look sandy, they are very solid. There is a lovely lake (surprise!) and a very nice swimming beach. The showers and bathrooms are tiled and clean.
The only negative for some people is that there is no water or electricity. There is a dump station, but no dumping at the site. There are faucets scattered throughout the campground, but they are designed to fill vessels, not RVs. The laundry has 2 washers and 2 dryers.
We shared half the park (there are 2 sections) with 1 other camper, a tenter, in mid-October and it was SO quiet. We loved it.
The address is 762, but our GPS told us we had arrived about .3 of a mile before we actually got there.

Not exactly near NYC

It's a stretch to call this the New York City KOA since it is at least 70 miles away. But I digress.
It is a very tidy park with lots to do. Two swimming pools during the 'season'. Lots of activities, during the 'season'. BUT we asked for a level space and they put us in the overflow section, which is snug parking. We walked around the campground and found some perfectly lovely, flat sites up in the trees, where it is more like a state park with much more space and must more ambiance. It seemed like the person at the front either didn't know the park or didn't care. We had already hooked up before we went for our walk, or we would have gone back and asked for a different site. I would give it 5 stars except for this.
Nice showers; each is in an individual room.

Expensive on the weekend

This is a go-to campground. There are lots of activities on the weekends, where you need to pay for 2 nights. But they understand and accept travelers if they have space. We are here on the weekend when they are celebrating Halloween, complete with haunted house. It's noisy, but they warned us when we came in.
There aren't many campground in this part of the world, so we go with the flow.
Again, minimal restrooms for 205 campsites.
