Best time to visit Cunningham Falls State Park
Late spring through early fall offers the best conditions for RV travel, with campgrounds open from April through October and warm weather ideal for the lake and waterfall. June through August brings peak swimming and paddling weather at Hunting Creek Lake but also the largest crowds, so reservations fill quickly on weekends. September and October deliver cooler temperatures, thinner crowds, and vivid Catoctin Mountain foliage. Winter visitors are limited to day-use areas since camping facilities close for the season.

Nicholas was a great host. Very easy to reach and helpful. Everything was perfect for our 4th of July stay in the camper

He was great to work with. We even forgot to handoff the keys and he was very forgiving and gave us lots of options to get them returned.

Domingo F. - Jun 2026
I recommend this RV, driving this rig was simple and comfortable. The layout and design of the interior space was perfect and roomy. The dining set makes into a very nice long bed. I will rent this one again.

How to get to Cunningham Falls State Park
The park sits just off US Route 15 near Thurmont, Maryland, about a 20-minute drive north of Frederick and roughly 1 hour 15 minutes from Baltimore or Washington, D.C. RV drivers approaching the William Houck Area should use Route 77 west from Thurmont, a winding two-lane mountain road with sharp curves and grades that demand low gears and caution in larger rigs. Travelers should check for MD 77 flagging operations and potential road work that can affect both directions of travel. The nearest major airports for fly-and-rent trips are Baltimore/Washington International (BWI) and Washington Dulles (IAD), each about 60 to 70 miles away.
