One of the great reasons for camping out in the state of Maryland is the pristine settings of its RV campgrounds. No elaborate amenities and no large crowds to deal with, just RV camping the way it was intended. If this sounds like what you're looking for, take a closer peek at Elk Neck Campground near Elkton, Maryland. This RV park is separated into several different loops, but all of the campsites have a picnic table and a fire ring with a grill for barbecuing. Each loop has a bathhouse with hot water and showers; some of the sites have full hookups or water and electric hookups, but many of them have no hookups. The campground is child-friendly, but some of the loops allow pets on a leash while others don't.Elk Neck Campground is part of the larger Elk Neck State Park, which allows you the opportunity to enjoy a beach area and picnic shelter, a boat launching facility, and a lighthouse located at the southern tip of the peninsula the park is located on. All of these facilities are located in other areas, but they are close by and easily accessed. If you need to stock up on groceries or other necessities, Elkton has whatever you need; gas stations where you can fill up your rental RV, restaurants where you can pop in for a quick meal, or maybe a chance to take a quick stroll and view the town's layout.

The Great Outdoors

RV rentals in Cecil County are your best bet for finding the rig of your dreams. Start your vacation by taking your new toy for a spin to see how it feels, then head for Elk Neck State Forest. This park is a heavily wooded area with deciduous and evergreen tree stands, and native shrubs that include mountain laurel and azaleas. This diverse ecosystem is a haven for nature lovers and bird watchers, with numerous migratory bird species passing through the area constantly. You can enjoy hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding here, and the area also allows hunting; all of these activities can be done across the park's four separate land tracts. There are target ranges for rifles, handguns, shotguns, and bows where you can practice your aim.Susquehanna State Park is a natural and historical wonderland with much to see. Your visit here should take in the restored Rock Run Historic Area, which has a working gristmill, a toll house and family mansion, and the Susquehanna & Tidewater Canal remains. The park is situated in the Susquehanna River valley, which has rocky terrain, making the mountain biking trails interesting and popular; the river itself is an excellent spot for anglers and boaters alike. A local and privately run museum is dedicated to the area's history and has exhibits of woodwright and blacksmith shops, plus the farming tools that were commonly used. Interpretive programs such as talks and guided hikes are offered by park staff, and everyone is welcome to participate.Palmer State Park is also an important historical area with numerous sites such as the Husband Flint Mill and the Deer Creek Iron Works. The mill was used to grind quartz that had been mined from local quarries for use in creating porcelain items, while Deer Creek was a forge that grew in prosperity to include a general store. The forge was shut down in 1878, and the mill was dismantled in the 1920s; remnants of both sites are still visible today. Deer Creek flows through the park and is available for swimming, tubing, and other water activities; however, if you wish to canoe or kayak, there is no launch area. You must travel upstream where you can put in near a parking lot; downstream on the way to the park is a series of whitewater rapids. If you have little whitewater experience, it is strongly advised that you portage your canoe or kayak downstream past the rapids before putting in.

Exploring The Area

It would be worth your while to spend some time experiencing the small towns in the area, such as North East, which has two listings on the National Register of Historic Places, the Turkey Point Light Station, and the Gilpin's Falls Covered Bridge. If you haven't quite burned off the all of your energy just yet, there is a paintball center and a local golf club (you could try out one or both, time permitting); there's a vineyard offering wine tastings, museums, antique markets, and a local theater. North East's restaurant scene is reasonably priced and mostly comprised of locally run venues, including pizzerias and pub food, fast food and cafes, and more.Rising Sun also has several locations listed on the National Register of Historic Places; it was named after a local tavern that became a popular meeting place before the town was incorporated. The town has a golf course where you can squeeze in a quick round and a vineyard where you can relax and enjoy the remains of the day. It also has a casino ferry where guests can ride from Rising Sun to Rabbit Hash, Kentucky. A county dragway puts stock car racing at your feet, and a family zoo puts giraffes towering above you. The restaurant scene is reasonably priced and has mostly American and Mexican cuisines, with a few exceptions.Small-town Maryland, as you will see, is interesting and visually captivating, just two of the reasons you should consider booking a travel trailer rental near Elkton.

Questions about RVs?

Q.

What type of RV should I choose?

A.

Start by determining how many people are planning to travel with you. Going on a solo-journey? Choose a camper van or a teardrop trailer. Bringing the whole family along for the ride? Consider a spacious Class A or five-wheel.

You’ll also want to consider amenities. For example, if you’re planning to cook on the road, you’ll want a kitchenette. If your campground doesn’t have public restrooms, you’ll want to search RVs with bathrooms. Check out full descriptions of our models to help you decide here.


Q.

Do the RVs have bathrooms?

A.

Yes. Class A’s, Class B’s, and Class C’s and five-Wheels typically have bathrooms. Depending on where you plan on camping, you’ll want to double-check the availability of restrooms if selecting a rig without a bathroom. Nervous about renting an RV with a bathroom? Owners can help show you how to clean the tank or will offer to do it for you for a fee.


Q.

How does check-in work?

A.

Once an Owner approves your RV reservation, you can coordinate a time to pick up your rig or have it delivered to your doorstep or campsite. At that point, the owner will do a key exchange with you and walk you through the RV and answer any questions you might have.
