Part of Maryland's state park system, Pocomoke River State Park Campground sits along the Pocomoke River in southeastern Maryland, offering both tent and RV camping with electric and water hookups. The campground operates multiple loops with varying levels of privacy and amenities, including sites accessible by boat, car, or on foot.
Campers consistently note the well-maintained bathhouses with hot water showers and clean facilities throughout the loops. "Clean bathrooms and handicap accessible, as is the store," reports Cindy S.. Sites feature level tent pads, picnic tables, and fire rings, with spacing that provides reasonable privacy between neighbors. Some loops lack nearby restroom facilities, requiring longer walks to bathhouses.
The Pocomoke River provides the main attraction, with kayak and canoe rentals available during operating season. A boat launch and dock facilitate water access, while a fish cleaning station serves anglers. "All these kayak trails are wonderful," notes one regular visitor who paddles north to Snow Hill and south to Milburn Landing from the campground. The park also maintains several hiking trails, though summer insect pressure can be significant along swampy areas like the Trail of Change.
Located about 45 minutes from Ocean City and Assateague Island, the campground serves as a forested alternative to beachfront camping. The park sprays for mosquitoes during peak season, and the cypress-tinted water naturally deters some insects. Shad Landing Campground sits just north within the same park system.
Reservations are recommended, especially for weekend stays when loops fill with both tent campers and large RVs. Stock up on supplies before arrival, as the camp store has limited hours and nearby towns require a drive.
