Discover Emmitsburg RV rentals for memorable road trips

Although the area had settlers, who farmed and hunted, the town of Emmitsburg, MD, didn’t form until William Emmit built a home and a tavern/inn in 1785. Once the inn was established alongside a major route, a town sprang up around it. A few short years later, after the Revolutionary War ended, a Catholic missionary Reverend Jean Dubois built a church, and later, a seminary. Elizabeth Ann Seton joined the flocks and established a convent. Many years later, Sister Seton was the first American to be canonized and become a saint. She is known as a patron saint of seafarers and widows.

The Great Outdoors

Being right on the border of Pennsylvania-Maryland, visitors have access to a bounty of natural parks. Pure wilderness right at the doorsteps. When you rent a motorhome in Emmitsburg, MD, it's easy to explore the pristine wilderness. Just a few miles to the south is the Catoctin Mountain Park and Cunningham Fall State Park. The two parks combined cover about 10,000 acres of land. There are over 30 miles of multi-use trails, ideal for hiking and biking. The lower elevations are suitable for horseback riding, as well. The waterfall, though no Niagara, will delight any landscape photographer. Mature oaks and maples blaze orange and red in autumns, setting a pastoral scene.

RV Parks

When you rent an RV in Emmitsburg, be sure to scope out a few campgrounds beforehand. Although this area is rural, street parking is still discouraged. Both of the larger state parks and state forests in Maryland and Pennsylvania have campgrounds with hookups and restroom facilities. Owen’s Creek Campground, for example, is at the northern end of Catoctin Mountain, near Sabillasville, MD. Heads up: the max length for RVs and trailers is 22 feet.

Exploring the City

Renting a luxury motorhome in Emmitsburg makes perfect sense. It’s a central spot in between the major cities: roughly 75 miles from there to Lancaster, PA, Baltimore, or Washington, DC, and about 50 miles to Harrisburg. Gettysburg is conveniently close, too.
