Campgrounds near Jefferson, Maryland
Jefferson sits in southern Frederick County, Maryland, within easy driving distance of the Potomac River, the Catoctin Mountains, and the Harpers Ferry area of West Virginia. The town is roughly ten to twenty minutes from a mix of state park campgrounds, private riverside campgrounds, and full-hookup RV parks, which makes it a practical base for RV renters exploring the region.
Closest to town, Brunswick Family Campground sits on an 11-acre parcel between the Potomac River and the C&O Canal towpath, offering tent sites, RV sites with electric and water hookups, and rustic cabins. Gambrill State Park, west of Frederick on Catoctin Mountain, provides a smaller forested Rock Run campground with basic, tent-only, and electric sites plus camper cabins. Evergreen Point Village, in the Frederick area, is a private RV park geared to travelers who want utilities and easy highway access rather than a woodsy setting.
Farther afield, Greenbrier State Park near Boonsboro and Harpers Ferry Campground round out the options within about a thirty-minute drive.
Things to do near Jefferson
The Chesapeake and Ohio Canal towpath and the Potomac River are the main draws close to Jefferson. From Brunswick Family Campground, guests can rent kayaks, canoes, and bikes on-site, with two tubing experiences launching from the property and whitewater rafting available about twenty minutes away near Harpers Ferry.
Harpers Ferry National Historical Park is about fifteen minutes from the campground and combines Civil War history, walkable historic streets, and Appalachian Trail access. Gambrill State Park offers hiking, mountain biking, and stone overlooks with views of the Frederick and Middletown Valleys on Catoctin Mountain. Greenbrier State Park adds a 42-acre freshwater lake with a sandy swim beach, boat rentals, and about eleven miles of trails, including a connection to the Appalachian Trail via Bartman's Hill Trail.

The camping season in the Jefferson area runs primarily from spring through fall. Rock Run Campground at Gambrill State Park is open April through October, and Greenbrier State Park operates on a similar seasonal schedule. Brunswick Family Campground runs early spring through late fall. Private RV parks in the Frederick area typically stay open year-round for RVers who need winter hookups.
Summer is the peak booking window. Weekends at Greenbrier fill quickly because the lake beach draws large day-use crowds, and the park frequently reaches capacity on summer weekends. Day-use reservations are required at Greenbrier on weekends and holidays from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day, which is worth planning around even for overnight guests.
Spring and fall bring cooler temperatures, lighter crowds, and strong foliage color on Catoctin Mountain, especially in October. Winter camping is limited: state park campgrounds close for the season, and travelers who camp in the colder months rely on private year-round options in the Frederick area.

Overall good time. Gray and black water were 2/3 full though and would have been nice to be empty. WiFi was ok in location but sometimes didn’t work. Maybe suspension does need a look over not horrible but slightly loose. Fresh water all the way full would be nice also. I tried to leave it cleaner than I got it as well for the delay on drop off but made sure to get here early this am.

We had such a fantastic time in this RV. It was in ideal size for our family of 5. We travelled from Maryland, through ohio, Indiana, Kentucky and Tennessee. It was nice to drive and didn't feel too big. Clean throughout and no major issues. The host was very helpful and responded super quick to queries. We hope to rent again in the future.

How to book campgrounds near Jefferson
Maryland state park campsites at Gambrill State Park and Greenbrier State Park are booked through the Maryland Park Service at parkreservations.maryland.gov or by phone at 1-888-432-CAMP. Campsite reservations open 365 days in advance, and popular summer weekends at Greenbrier's Cedar Loop, the park's electric loop, tend to go early.
Brunswick Family Campground and Harpers Ferry Campground are private operations booked directly through the campground or its operator. Brunswick applies a two-night minimum on Friday and Saturday and three nights on some holidays. Evergreen Point Village is booked directly through the park.
For RV renters, confirm site length and hookups before booking. Greenbrier limits sites to about 30 feet, and only its Cedar Loop offers electric hookups. Gambrill's electric sites number only six to eight, so book early if hookups matter.
What to expect on-site
Expect a mix of forested state park loops and river or roadside private parks. Gambrill's Rock Run Campground is small and wooded, with 34 sites including basic, tent-only, and electric options plus four camper cabins, a bathhouse with hot showers, and a dump station. Greenbrier is larger, with 164 sites across four loops (Ash, Birch, Cedar, and Dogwood) around a 42-acre lake, hot showers, and a dump station; the Cedar Loop is the only loop with electric hookups, and sites are best suited to rigs up to about 30 feet.
Brunswick Family Campground is a busy riverside property with roughly 55 RV sites offering 30 and 50 amp electric plus water, a handful of full-hookup sites, a bathhouse, camp store, dump station, boat ramp, and pavilions; some loops sit close together and train noise from adjacent tracks is common. Black bears are present in the Catoctin area, so proper food storage is required at state park sites.
