The Millington area follows a humid-subtropical pattern. Spring and fall are the most comfortable stretches for RV travel, with mild days and cool nights. Summer runs warm and humid, and afternoon thunderstorms are common along the bay. State park camping seasons are limited. The Tuckahoe State Park campground is open for reservations from March 1 through October 31, and the Elk Neck State Park campground is open April 1 through November 30. Off-season stays at either park are not guaranteed, so late-fall and winter arrivals should call the park before driving in. Private parks such as Duck Neck, Holiday Park, and Woodlands Camping Resort generally run a longer season than the state parks and host seasonal residents alongside transient RVs. Summer weekends and holidays fill first, especially waterfront sites, so book early for Memorial Day through Labor Day, and expect quieter conditions after mid-September when school is back in session.

State park campgrounds around Millington are wooded and quiet. Cell reception is limited inside both parks, so RV travelers should download maps and directions before arrival. Hookups vary. At Tuckahoe, 33 designated RV campsites feature 30-amp electrical hookups, with an RV dump station and fresh drinking water in the campground, while Elk Neck State Park has full hookups including electric, water and sewage at sites 1-31. Private parks generally offer full hookups at most sites. Roads on the Eastern Shore are flat and rural. Grocery runs mean a short drive to Chestertown, Millington, or Denton, and gas stops are limited outside the small towns, so top off the tank before heading to the campground.
