My friends and I like to camp whenever we can around the tri-state area. This means NY boarders, poconocs, S. Jersey. We usually end up talking and laughing around the fire until 1-2am. This can be a problem at family campgrounds where curfews are usually around 11pm. We don’t cause any trouble or anything, just like to stay up and enjoy the crackle of the fire.

Last year, we were at Shenandoah Park in VA, and we found a place that rented out a secluded cabin in middle of the park. We had to park and walk about 1/2 mile before reaching our cabin. It was great, no one around us and it was very private.

I am looking for a similar place around this area. I live in Philly, anything within 2 hrs of driving I can handle. So far, I have been looking into Wharton State park in NJ as they have some primitive campsites. But I want to know what else is out there. Could N. Maryland have anything to offer?

We usually have 5-6 people in the group. We have 2 cars and will pitch tents. Don’t mind walking to our site (within 1 mile or so of our car). Hookups, water, restroom, shower are not important, in fact we would prefer not having it due to the amount of people that will be around us due to this ammentity.
