Discover Smallwood State Park RV rentals for memorable road trips

Smallwood State Park is a 984-acre recreational area nestled on the banks of Mattwoman Creek near the small town of Rison. The park was named after William Smallwood, a Revolutionary War general and, at one point, governor of Maryland. Much of the park’s allure stems from wooded hiking and biking trails, lovely playgrounds, and bright, sunny beaches. These features make the park a great location for family getaways, couples on a honeymoon, fishing, and camping.

Getting Outdoors

If fly fishing is a hobby of yours, then you'll be glad to hear that both shoreline and piers of Smallwood State Park are prime fishing spots. All you need to do is bring your gear or purchase it at the camp store, pick an ideal spot, and wait until either catfish, largemouth bass, perch, or carp take the bait. If you're a seasoned angler, you might want to add a little competition to the mix and participate in one of the bass tournaments hosted by Smallwood.

Camping at Smallwood State Park

There are over a dozen RV-friendly sites where you can set up camp at Smallwood State Park. The sites at the Family Circle Campground accommodate RVs up to 30 feet long. The sites have electric hookups and picnic tables along with other RV camping amenities that guests will find useful. You'll have access to water, fire rings, restrooms, showers, and a lantern post.

Exploring the Area
