Most people are unaware of how green Maryland really is, and you can discover its lush landscape when you bring your Potomac camper rental outside the city and head to the surrounding parks nearby. Seneca Creek State Park is a great example of what you can see and where you can stay when you rent an RV and seek out a peaceful stay at a beautiful park. There are more than 14 miles of creekside habitat in Seneca Creek State Park, a wonderful place for swimming, boating, and fishing. Aside from the creek and a large fishing pond, there is a series of hiking trails, a 27-hole disc golf course, historic structures, and a campground. Patuxent River State Park is named for the river it resides on, with lovely views and a wide range of activities to take advantage of when you visit. This small park has great fishing and swimming spots in the river, and you can go mountain biking, horseback riding, and hiking to make your way around too. Patapsco Valley State Park is located over by Baltimore, so a stop is warranted if you plan on visiting Maryland’s biggest city when you rent an RV. This incredible outdoor sanctuary was the first state park in Maryland, established back in 1907. There are tons of tranquil nature paths winding their way through forest habitats and over swinging bridges spanning the Patapsco River, and numerous places to ride a mountain bike, go horseback riding, canoe, kayak, go fishing, or have a picnic. There are a few campgrounds where you can stay with your Potomac RV rental, and a nature center for children is on-site too. A short drive to western Virginia from Potomac is all it takes to see one of the country’s most beloved national parks. Shenandoah National Park impresses with its enchanting roads and stunning scenery. This 200,000-acre wonderland revolves around the famous Skyline Drive, the most prominent feature in the park. The road is just over 100 miles long, spanning the entire park from north to south, with jaw-dropping views of vivid fall foliage and the stoic Blue Ridge Mountains.
