Discover Catoctin Mountain Park RV rentals for memorable road trips
After decades of plundering Catoctin Mountain for its ore, mining companies sold the land to the state of Maryland in the early 1930s, which promptly turned into a park. Under President Roosevelt’s New Deal program, the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) descended upon the park and built cabins and lean-tos, blazed trails, paved roads, and constructed bridges. They also replanted tens of thousands of trees. Catoctin Mountain Park is listed on the National Register of Historic Places due to its significant mining history, which played a large role in growing the nearby towns, and the buildings constructed by CCC, which are still in good condition today.

Getting Outdoors
Once stripped bare of trees, Catoctin Mountain Park has been nearly restored to its former glory. A little over 6,000 acres are blanketed by a mix of oak, hickory, maple, and tulip poplar trees. The second-growth forest is relatively young and is expected to hit its ‘peak’ growth condition in 2070 or so. A little over 25 miles of soft, brown trails wind and weave through the growing forest, past fresh, bright meadows, and over babbling streams. Catoctin National Recreation Trails adds 27 miles to that tally, following the ridgetop of Blue Ridge Mountains.
Camping at Catoctin Mountain Park
Catoctin Mountain RV campground is a smaller one with around 30 sites. Because of the tight turns, trailers longer than 22 feet and RVs bigger than 30 feet are discouraged. There are no hookups. However, the campground does have restrooms with flush toilets and showers. There are faucets with drinking water, too. All RV sites have picnic tables and fire rings. Reservations are highly recommended.
Exploring the Area
Though it’s tempting - and certainly easy - to hop into a rental motorhome and head down to Washington, D.C. to explore the nation’s capital, don’t overlook the charms and unique flavor of the small towns that dot northern Maryland. Thurmont, MD, has several attractions, including a mainstay apple orchard, Thurmont Kountry Kitchen, which dishes up old-fashioned country meals, and Catoctin Wildlife Preserve & Zoo. The small-but-mighty zoo houses over 600 animals, many of which are endangered. What sets this zoo apart from others is visitors can interact with a wide variety of animals, including chinchillas, lemurs, and alligators.

This Airstream Basecamp 20X is an awesome and fully equipped camper. Allen & Michelle were so friendly and helpful in getting us started on our first rental trip.
We highly recommend this trailer, and these owners.

This van is TO DIE FOR!! All the amenities and John is a wonderful, kind and attentive host. Everything was clean and well taken care of. BTW, this van is so easy to drive, definitely not overwhelming. Set up was less than 10 minutes (even for our first time) and take down was just a bit longer. We will definitely be renting again, since it was comfortable (yes, the bed was WAY comfortable) and just the right size for two.
