 Folks, looking for a CG s in or around Harpers Ferry, Maryland or West Virgina.

 whitestar505Would the dog be going with you? Greenbrier State Park in Maryland is nice but they dont accept pets. We go there for the day because they have a clean refreshing lake with boat rentals, fishing and swiming as well as 2 nice beaches BUT we dont camp there because they dont allow pets.     Sandy

 whitestar505Also " in the neighborhood"  is [link=http://www.dnr.state.md.us/publiclands/western/gambrill.html]Gambrill State Park [/link], and they do allow pets.
 
 Here is what I wrote for [link=http://www.title-3.com]my web site [/link] about Gambrill:
 
 
QuoteThis was a quick weekend get away!  The park is 6 miles outside of Frederick, MD just north of I-70.  As it is within a two hour drive of both Washington, DC and Baltimore, MD I figured it would be crowded.  Boy was I wrong.  Even though it appeared that they were " sold out"  (almost all the sites had a reserved sign on them), probably 1/3 of the sites were empty the entire weekend.  The park was very nice with 35 campsites.  Many of these are for tents only or are not suitable for a pop up, so there are about 15 " good"  sites, but only a few of these have electric.
   
 There is a lot of hiking in the park and an activity field with a swing set for kids.
   
 I m sure we will be back here.

This site http://www.popuptimes.com/members/tm.asp?m=24933&p=1&tmode=1 is in the area up by the National Park. It is privite but no one answers the phone except for the weekends. Odd huh!
