Campgrounds near Middletown, Maryland
Middletown sits in the Middletown Valley of Frederick County, framed by South Mountain to the west and Catoctin Mountain to the east. That geography puts RV travelers within a short drive of several state park campgrounds and one riverfront private park along the Potomac. Most trips base out of Frederick County or neighboring Washington County and use Middletown as a quiet home valley between outings.
Gambrill State Park sits high on Catoctin Mountain west of Frederick, and its Rock Run Area campground is the closest state-run option. Greenbrier State Park is on South Mountain, about three miles northeast of Boonsboro in Washington County, roughly a half-hour drive west. Brunswick Family Campground and Evergreen Point Village sit to the south toward the Potomac, and the Manor Area of Cunningham Falls State Park lies north near Thurmont.
Together these campgrounds cover the range most RV renters need: forested mountain sites with electric hookups, lakefront family camping, and riverfront sites with C and O Canal towpath access. Cell coverage is limited in the Catoctin Mountains, so route and reservation details should be sorted before arrival.
Things to do near Middletown
The Appalachian Trail crosses South Mountain just west of Middletown, and the Catoctin Trail runs 27 miles from Gambrill State Park north through Cunningham Falls State Park and into Catoctin Mountain Park. Cunningham Falls itself is a 78-foot cascade on Hunting Creek and is the tallest waterfall in Maryland, reached by short trails from the William Houck Area.
Greenbrier State Park has a 42-acre man-made freshwater lake with a beach, swimming, boating, and fishing. Gambrill's High Knob area has three native-stone overlooks built by the Civilian Conservation Corps, with views over the Frederick and Middletown Valleys. The Manor Area of Cunningham Falls includes the Scales and Tales Aviary and the historic Catoctin Iron Furnace.
Brunswick Family Campground sits on the C and O Canal Towpath at mile marker 54.5, giving riders and hikers direct access to the trail and to a boat ramp for kayaking, canoeing, and tubing on the Potomac. Harpers Ferry is about 15 minutes away.

The main state park camping season in this region runs early April through late October. Gambrill's Rock Run Area campground is open annually from the first weekend in April to the last weekend in October, and both the William Houck and Manor areas of Cunningham Falls State Park run April through October for full service. Greenbrier State Park follows the same pattern, with all campsites available roughly early April through the end of October.
The Manor Area of Cunningham Falls is the exception for shoulder-season trips. Primitive camping at the Manor Area is available November through March, but the bathhouse and dump station close for winter and only a portable toilet is available. Reservations are still required for primitive camping, and the area may close during severe weather. Brunswick Family Campground offers cabin rentals, tent camping, and RV sites from early spring through late fall.
Summer weekends fill quickly. Greenbrier regularly reaches capacity on summer weekends and holidays, and lines to enter the park are common. Fall brings foliage on Catoctin and South Mountain, and hunting seasons apply on adjacent state lands.

How to book
Maryland state park campgrounds use a single reservation system. Reservations can be made online at parkreservations.maryland.gov or by calling 1-888-432-CAMP. Sites can be booked up to 365 days in advance, so peak summer weekends should be booked as early as possible.
Campsites can book up fast, especially for peak season from June through September and for holiday weekends. Electric loops and camper cabins fill first. Gambrill's Rock Run electric sites and four camper cabins are limited, so plan several months out for prime dates.
Brunswick Family Campground is a private park managed by River and Trail Outfitters and books through its own website. A two-night minimum applies Friday and Saturday, with three nights required on some holidays. Evergreen Point Village is also privately operated and books directly with the campground rather than through a state portal.
What to expect on arrival
Expect wooded, hilly sites with paved or gravel loops. Greenbrier State Park has around 156 sites in four loops next to the 42-acre lake, including one loop with electric hookups and pet-friendly loops, with a bathhouse, hot showers, and a dump station. Full hookups are uncommon at Maryland state parks; most RV sites are electric only, with a shared dump station.
Brunswick Family Campground has 62 RV sites with 30 and 50 amp electric service, plus four full hookup sites with sewer and electric, a bathhouse, playground, and dump station. The campground sits between the C and O Canal and active railroad tracks, so noise-sensitive campers should plan for train sounds through the night.
Black bears are present in the Catoctin and South Mountain areas, so keep food and garbage secure at camp and day-use areas. Cell service is patchy in the mountains, and outside firewood is generally restricted at these parks to limit forest pests.
