This park covers most of a large mountain that runs north and south just west of Rte 15. At the bottom end is the north end of Frederick, and at the top end is the town of Emmitsburg. In between, there are miles of roads and trails to explore, a wonderful creek and waterfall that cascades down the eastern side... More

Very serene park. We stayed in the Manor Area campground, not the William Houck campground. This area was not as remote, as it's right off of Rt. 15. There is some definite noise from Rt. 15 traffic that can be heard in the campground. It was a bit disappointing, but it didn't ruin the experience. We stayed in Lot #8... More

We have camped at this park twice now and really love it. The facilities are well maintained and the park is clean. The views are very nice and the lake is lots of fun when the weather is nice. This is a great family campground.

This is a great campground. State of Maryland campground with tent, RV, and Cabin sites. We stayed in a 6 person cabin that was really clean. Bathroom and shower facilities were equally as clean. Park in close proximity to Gettysburg battlefield.

There is an easy access hike from the side road (great for disabled friends or senior saints) or the hilly route with... More

There are some great trails out here to enjoy any time of the year. And if you go only for the falls they have an easy assess trail that is do-able with small children.

We camped here for the better part of a week and had a wonderful time. Most of the sites have plenty of trees and are very shady. There are a few without shade but when you reserve sites online you have the opportunity to view images of the actual site so you can be sure to get the a site... More

This is a great place to go for a walk, particularly in the fall. Access from US 15 is easy. We have only explored the falls area and it was very pretty. Good spot for a weekend hike.
