Susquehanna Campground

Search for an RV in Harford County, and you can choose a rental RV that perfectly suits your needs. Start your exploration by heading to Elk Neck State Forest, an outdoor recreation area consisting of wooded flatlands, marshes, and rolling hills; the woods are mostly deciduous and evergreen tree stands with undergrowth such as azaleas, mountain laurel, and other shrub species. There are two systems of trails through the park, one of which crosses through the densely forested Plum Creek Watershed; the other which moves in and out of the park boundaries on its way to the Turkey Point Lighthouse at Elk Neck State Park, its final destination. Keep your motorhome rental nearby, and you can reward yourself with a hot meal and drinks at the end of your outdoor excursions.

White Clay Creek State Park is just across the state border near Newark, Delaware; it is historically famous as the starting point (within the park) of the Mason-Dixon survey that led to the creation of the Mason-Dixon line. The creek is stocked with bluegill, crappie, and rainbow and brown trout; anglers will also find largemouth bass, which can be fished as catch-and-release. Fishing is allowed with the proper licenses and stamps from April through to November, but you should check and confirm the exact dates and requirements. The park has over 30 miles of trails for hikers and mountain bikers, ranging from easy to moderate difficulty, that will take you through historic areas and past areas where you can look down upon lush valleys and up at impressive rock outcroppings.

Nottingham County Park was established in 1963. The area was formerly inhabited by quarries and mines where feldspar, serpentine, and chromite ore were recovered. Serpentine is a light-green rock that is so rare it is found in only a few areas in all of North America; the soil resting on it is light in essential minerals and heavy in metals, which is why few ordinary plants will grow. The vegetation in these areas is distinct from the vegetation in surrounding areas, making for an interesting photographic landscape. There are several trails where you can take a leisurely stroll; one of them leads to higher elevations where you can look down upon savannahs while another shorter trail has exercise stations along its path and leads to a butterfly and hummingbird garden.

Maryland has an impressive history, but it is also deeply rooted in agriculture, as can be seen in the town of Churchville. The town has a local farmers market, but if you really want to be impressed, you can go directly to one of the farms to view its produce firsthand (it has an annual corn maze in the fall that kids enjoy). There is a golf course with a reasonably challenging fairway and another that is more similar to miniature golf, plus a driving range and a batting cage. A local tour guide company offers sky diving, and a second has hot air balloon rides; if archery is your thing, there's an archery range. By now you're probably getting hungry but not to worry, Churchville has a wide range of places to eat that include Chinese, Italian and Mexican cuisines, pizzerias, and a creamery that specializes in desserts and nothing else.

Aberdeen is a smaller town but isn't without its merits, one of which is Ripken Stadium, a well-known baseball field that is home to a minor league affiliate of the MLB Baltimore Orioles. If you're lucky, you can spend an afternoon here taking in a game along with the requisite hot dogs (it wouldn't be a baseball game without them). Aberdeen also has an impressive list of restaurants, including some venues that serve Peruvian, Greek, and Korean food.
