Where the Allegheny Mountains meet western Maryland, Dan's Mountain State Park Campground operates seasonally from April through September. The state-managed facility provides basic amenities including drinking water, restrooms, picnic tables, and allows both campfires and pets on leash.
One reviewer notes the park is smaller compared to other state facilities in the region, though it offers fishing access and trail opportunities. The campground maintains ADA accessibility and provides trash service throughout the operating season. For additional camping options in the area, campers can explore campgrounds around Lonaconing. Reservations are available and recommended for peak season visits.
