Located at the crossroads of I-81 and I-70, Hagerstown is halfway between Deep Creek (westernmost Maryland), and the Atlantic Ocean. (more…)

Planning a trip to Ocean City Maryland this summer and plan on camping?  Ocean City is a hot family destination for a lot of people living in the Virginia/DC/Maryland area. Bordered by the Atlantic Ocean and beach on one side and the Isle of Wight Bay on the other, OC offers fishing, water sports like Jet Skiing and kayaking, Parasailing, and of course, lots of sand and sun.

The beach stays pretty crowded, as does the boardwalk with it’s amusement park and carnival like atmosphere. So if you are craving a quiet, serene, or less expensive vacation, you may prefer nearby Assateague Island National Seashore and State Park (limited hook ups) or travel farther south to Chincoteague, Virginia.

While there aren’t any campgrounds in OC proper (other than the condo-type where the campers are 20 years old and people have built houses around them), there are a number of campgrounds within 30 minutes of OC.  This may turn out to be a relief to those of us who can’t take the constant crowded conditions and hustling that takes place on the Boardwalk. You can play on the beach all day, then retire to your RV for a respite. (more…)

Family camping trips are a perfect way for families to reconnect in a natural environment away from all the stresses of work and school. There are camping destinations to suit every budget and desired activity; from amusement parks to beaches to mountain lakes.

 So far our favorite family camping destinations are:

Bar Harbor, Maine Whale watching, Acadia National Park, lobsters and blueberries. Bring your appetite and your wallet!

The Adirondacks of New York (upstate) We spent time in Lake Placid; my DH was in Fly Fishing heaven

Maryland camping (our home state, so we spend a lot of time here) Assateague Island Seashore and Hagerstown

Fiesta Key KOA, Islamorada, FL The entire island is the campground. A guitarist plays Jimmy Buffet tunes at the Tiki Bar next to the pool which overlooks the water. Need I say more?

Williamsburg, Virginia (The big attractions here are not the campgrounds, but Busch Gardens Amusement Park and Historic Williamsburg and Jamestown).

Shenandoa, Virginia (this KOA doesn’t have all the amenities, but I love it. It is tucked into the woods at the base of Massanutton Mountain; big stone fire pits and a hiking trail connects the campground with the State Forest trails).
