Deep Creek Lake State Park

What sets Deep Creek Lake State Park Campground apart is its harmonious balance of lakeside adventure, forested serenity, and family-oriented amenities, all within a stunning natural setting. Overlooking Maryland's largest freshwater lake, the campground features semi-private sites catering to both tent camping and RV setups, with options such as cozy mini cabins and a yurt for a unique lodging experience. The standout attraction is the easy access to a mile-long shoreline, sandy beaches, and a public boat ramp, perfectly complementing the 20 miles of hiking and biking trails that weave through the park's regenerated hardwood forest.

Conveniently located near the small town of Swanton in Garrett County, this campground is a gateway to the 3,900-acre Deep Creek Lake. Guests can fish for walleye, perch, and trout, embark on scenic mountain hikes, or immerse themselves in the Discovery Center's exhibits on regional wildlife, from black bears to raptors. Swimming beaches, picnic shelters, and playgrounds enhance its appeal for families, while the proximity to nearby attractions like the Youghiogheny Wild River and Big Run State Parks adds more options for exploration within a 30-minute radius.
