Campgrounds near St. Leonard, Maryland
St. Leonard sits on a narrow peninsula in Calvert County, bordered by the Patuxent River to the west and the Chesapeake Bay to the east. The area is rural and low-lying, with tidal creeks, farmland, and mixed pine and hardwood forest. RV travelers use it as a base for shoreline recreation, fossil hunting along the Calvert Cliffs, and day trips to Washington, D.C., Annapolis, and Solomons Island.
Campground options nearby range from bay-area private parks to state forest sites. Taylors Island Family Campgrounds and Take It Easy Campground serve the Chesapeake side, while Coles Point Marina and RV Resort sits across the Potomac in Virginia and caters to boaters. Cedarville State Forest - Family offers wooded, quieter sites inland, and Adventure Bound Camping Resorts - Washington DC extends the range toward the capital region.
Most properties support standard RV rigs with electric hookups; water and sewer access varies by site, so travelers should confirm amenities when booking.

Boating, crabbing, and fishing are the defining local activities, with public launches on both the Patuxent and the bay.

Peak RV season runs from late May through early September, when Chesapeake beaches, boat rentals, and campground pools are fully open. From Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day there is a two-night minimum stay at Maryland state campgrounds, and holiday weekends require a three-night minimum stay. Waterfront and hookup sites at private parks fill first, so book well ahead for July and August.
Spring and fall are the sweet spots for temperature and bugs. April through mid-June brings mild days, blooming forests, and lower humidity, while September and October offer warm water, thinning crowds, and colorful foliage inland. Cedarville State Forest's campground is open from April to October, which mirrors the general public-campground calendar in the region.
Winter operations are limited. Many private parks close or reduce services, and mosquito pressure gives way to cold, damp days. Hurricane and tropical-storm risk peaks in late summer and early fall, occasionally forcing shoreline closures.
How to book campgrounds near St. Leonard
Maryland state campgrounds use a single reservation platform. Reservations can be made by calling 1-888-432-2267, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, or online at parkreservations.maryland.gov, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Reservations are available 365 days in advance of the arrival date, and summer weekends at popular sites go quickly.
Private parks such as Taylors Island Family Campgrounds, Take It Easy Campground, and Coles Point Marina and RV Resort take reservations directly through their own websites or by phone. Adventure Bound Camping Resorts - Washington DC uses its resort booking system.
Campers are limited to 14 cumulative nights of camping in Maryland State Park campgrounds during any 21-day period, and must vacate for at least seven consecutive days before re-registering at a state park. Plan multi-week trips accordingly.
What to expect on the ground
Sites in this part of Maryland tend to be wooded or semi-open, with pine, oak, and holly cover. Interior state forest loops are quieter and darker; bay-side private parks are brighter, breezier, and often closer to swimming beaches. At Cedarville State Forest each campsite has a picnic table, fire ring with a grill, and a lantern post; sites on the inner loop are equipped with electric, and sites on the outer loop are primitive.
Cell service is generally usable across Calvert County but can drop in low-lying river bends. Expect biting insects from May through September, especially near marshes; long sleeves and repellent help.
Roads into most campgrounds are paved to the gate with gravel or grass interior loops. Larger Class A rigs should confirm site length and low branches when reserving, particularly at older wooded state-forest loops.
