Elk Neck is one of the largest campgrounds I’ve been to so even when I planned this trip last minute there were a couple spots available. Once you check in there’s a park store to your left in case you forget anything (as of May 2022 the park store is closed & the nature center is undergoing renovations. Ice & wood is still being sold outside the park store). We stayed in the Choptank Loop which was lovely, and in the distance, we could see Elk Neck River but there are no trails from this loop. The Wye and Susquehanna Loop are right near trails that lead to Rogues Harbor Area for a fishing pier & boat launch (Beaver Marsh Loop 2 miles). You can also take the Beaver Marsh Loop, connect with the White Banks trail and you have about a four-mile hike to the North East Beach Area for swimming & fishing. You can also drive to both areas. The Turkey Point Lighthouse is definitely a must see. The parking lot is small so if you’re there on the weekend try to get there early as possible. The trail to the lighthouse is about .8 miles and family friendly. Great area for bird watching and the perfect spot to have a picnic with the cliff side views over the water. To reach the top of the lighthouse you must be able to climb a ladder so your little one might not be able to go.
