From Interstate 68 use Exit 34 for State Route 36/New Georges Creek Road. Go South towards Westernport for 6.5 miles. You will go through the Town of Midland. As you are entering the town of Lonaconing veer left/straight at the sign for Dan’s Mountain State Park onto Water Station Run Road SW. Follow this road and the signs up the mountain for 1.8 miles. Turn right onto Recreation Area Road SW and follow it for approximately ½ mile into the main area of the park. *If you find yourself in the Town of Lonaconing you have gone too far and need to turn around on Rt.36 and look for Water Station Run Road.
Wonderful hidden gem in the Maryland Mountainside. Very well maintained. Quiet and easy to find.
Good for a weekend campout. Go to the nearby overlook (need to drive to get there) for a great view. Can hike to playground for kids to play on.
Sweet spot tucked away off the highway. Secluded feel, yet still great cell service. Picnic tables, and grills on site.
This was great for our small group that like to camp together but have a hard time finding campsites that connect. It POURED nearly the entire weekend and if not for the pavilion we would have left. Chuck, who managed the site, was fantastic. He checked on us several times and had it cleaned up for us prior to arrival. The kids played in the stream constantly and went for a dip in the very nice pool up the road or to the tire playground. The only reason for 4 stars is the not so great bathroom. We will go certainly go back.
