This site is a lively maintained and isolated site. Unfortunately our scheduling wouldn’t let us stay the night, but Shane allowed us to check in early and enjoy the property for the day. I would love to come back and camp overnight soon.

Our stay at Mulehalla was great! Site 10 is even bigger than we expected. It's tucked back away from the other sites so has some privacy. The host was very responsive when we had a couple questions, even though we arrived late. Our dog loved exploring the campground and walking by the C&O.

Beautiful spot, will be back! Right amount of space for me and my pup. Cute little beach access and gorgeous foliage in the fall. Stunning sunset/rise and great wildlife - cranes, hawks, and bald eagles!

Kevin is an awesome dude to talk to, and a highly flexible host. He took an extra careful look at the details of our reservation and suggested a change of campsite based on our proximity to other guests. Then, when things on site were different than what he had proposed and we set up camp in a different third spot, he showed up the next day and said "that's exactly what I would have suggested, so I'm glad you did it." The site itself is beautiful, and the location is both out of the way and convenient to nearby amenities. We had a great stay. Thanks Kevin!

Great spot for camping and fishing. We had three tents and a tarp and had a ton of room. Caught a couple of perch and bullhead. Easy instructions to get to the place which felt nice and remote. Great sunset views as well. Watch your step around the banks as high water at some point did some serious erosion. The owner has a set up steps to get down to the beach, which were very helpful. Also if you’re planning on having a fire you may want to bring some wood ahead of time. There is a bunch of ash and some oak around the property that the owner was gracious enough offer up to us, but much of it was older and rotted. Some other reviews mentioned the drag strip nearby which you can hear (along with the occasional shotgun blast from hunters), but neither of those things really bothered us. Country store nearby with coffee, beer, liquor ice and gas. About 90 minutes from DC (no traffic). Closer to 2.5 hours if you leave DC at 3pm during the week. Overall a great spot if you’re looking for a quick weekend getaway from the city.

Mulehalla was a really nice campground. The hosts welcomed me upon arrival and gave me the orientation. We camped at site #6 which had a tent pad, stone fire ring and additional space for another tent. It was a little difficult finding the site since there isn't a clear drive lane, but I liked that. Some of the sites are really close to each other and we had another group across from our site. But we had the entire camp ground to ourselves the second night. Port-a-john was really clean. Bring your own potable water.

This campsite was perfect for us! Tucked away behind a quiet neighborhood, the campground was easy to find, spacious and beautiful and we found the host to be very responsive. Our site (#11) was tucked away in a lane of grass between two tree lines in a space that looks to be used or have been used for disc golf. This late in the season we only had one group somewhat near us and we didn’t hear them despite the relative proximity. We were a quick walk away from the restroom which was very convenient and woke to the pleasant sounds of birds rustling and calling in the trees above us. We were able to locate and purchase wood for a campfire with ease and enjoyed a nice fire on our second evening. The campground is located near an excellent coffee shop (River Bottom Roasters) and there are many great hikes, shops and restaurants within driving distance.

The view is beautiful. My pictures are amazing. Very quiet and peaceful. Close to the rivers edge. It did not rain, so I had no issues. However, flooding would be the only concern or negative. This is my favorite or number 1 campsite. This was my 5th camping trip. I would book again.

Campsite was clean and as described. Closest campsite I could find to Blackwater Refuge. I would definitely stay again. This is a primitive site with an outhouse, picnic table, and fire pit only.

Shane’s water view spot is absolutely amazing. We were going to go to Assateague, but decided to ditch the long OSV line and sold out camp reservations. Instead we got our own little Assateague. Clean spot, and very quiet. Shane was also very helpful in terms of amenities. We will stay here again

We had a great time here! The host was very kind and accommodating. She let us borrow her kayaks for the day to visit Mallow's Bay which was a total lifesaver! We only had our inflatable one and that would not have survived the shipwrecks. Unfortunately the pier has been damaged so we couldn't use it but it was still lovely staying right on the water.

Great spot, convenient to so many things. Fell asleep and woke up listening to so many different birds! The highlight was a barred owl that visited each night.

The best star host camping in Maryland guide
Where to go
Western Maryland
Misty mountain peaks, dense forests, and sparkling lakes await in Western Maryland, which stretches from Hagerstown to Deep Creek Lake. Follow the Mountain Maryland scenic byway through the Allegheny Mountains, rent a canal boat along the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, or go whitewater rafting in Swallow Falls State Park. Seasonal highlights include the fall foliage hikes around Oakland, summer swimming and boating on Deep Creek Lake, and hitting the ski slopes in McHenry.
Central Maryland
Sitting pretty between Appalachian peaks and Chesapeake Bay shores, Maryland’s capital region has outdoor escapes within easy reach of both Baltimore and Washington D.C. Take your RV on a drive through history along the Historic National Road, running all the way from Baltimore into the western mountains; hike a 40-mile stretch of the Appalachian Trail; or enjoy wine tasting along the Piedmont Wine Trail. Camping favorites include the Cunningham Falls and Susquehanna state parks.
South Maryland
Picturesque coastal towns, Civil War sites, and golf courses pepper the western shore of Chesapeake Bay, where you can enjoy fishing, birding, and oyster tasting to your heart’s content. Snag a riverside campsite along the Potomac River, enjoy beachside walks in the Point Lookout State Park, or hunt for fossils in the Calvert Cliffs State Park.
Eastern Shore
Vacationers flock to Ocean City, where there are enough sandy beaches, golf courses, and boardwalk amusements to keep you busy all summer long. Nearby, there are beachside campgrounds and herds of wild horses to admire at Assateague Island National Seashore, or you can head over to the Chesapeake Bay shore to paddle around the marshes, enjoy birdwatching in the Blackwater National Wildlife, or rent a rustic cabin at Janes Island State Park.
