Tuckahoe State Park

We stayed for 5 nights at the beginning of October 2023. We loved site 23 which had hiking trails just behind, and a water spigot across the camp loop. We were able to fill our water while parked in the site by using two hoses. Bathhouse with dishwashing room is accessible by paths, but many paths go straight to sites on the inner loop. No formal check in, just check the bulletin board for your site number and go park yourself. There is a self serve firewood $6 per bundle, a playground and disc golf course close to campground. The lake has canoe rentals (says no swimming), there is a boat launch to the creek in non electric loop as well. We had great ATT cell reception at our site. We did have a problem with stink bugs that wanted to move into the rv, be prepared if you camp here in fall. Also black walnuts were dropping this time of year, and it was quite loud when they fell on our roof.

The campendium example review is almost exactly my experience. Arrived at midnight. There's a bulletin board to help you get situated with no one present. Found our spot and backed in easily. It's not crowded.

ATT with a decent Omni antenna is 30 down, and 0.4 up. Not great but usable.

T-Mobile home internet (and phone) is unusable.

We enjoyed the remote location of this campground in Queen Anne County Maryland. Our rate was based on the Maryland Golden Age Pass which is free to those over 65 years of age. The campground was well maintained. Restroom buildings were located in the center of the campground loop with access trails leading to them. The showers had ample hot water and were clean.

Lots of trails for hiking trails throughout the park. We also enjoyed riding bikes on the local roads to access other areas of the state park. We were there on a Monday and Tuesday in October and there was good availability of sites unoccupied. It was a great time of year to visit.

Nice park, the bathroom has a connector road but it’s on one site of the park so from 23 it was a walk all the way around to enter the bathroom. Not a huge deal just something to note.

No trash cans throughout the park to “preserve nature’s beauty” there’s one dumpster at the front when you exit.

Rv dump, firewood on site, disc golf course, kayak rentals at the camp store, bathroom and showers all available here.

Definitely kid friendly 👍🏼

Tuckahoe is a well maintained state park with above average amenities. The campsites have paved driveways and compacted sand pads that are level. The sites are spaced far enough apart with trees and vegetation in between. Trees are close and we had to be careful of the slide out. Picnic table and fire ring at each site. Bathhouse had two showers and is no frills. Several nice hiking trails in the park. Not busy in late August with many open sites. In a very rural farming area with a couple small towns within 10 miles. 1 1/2 hours to Baltimore and 1 1/2 hours to the ocean, so it was a nice central location to explore Maryland.

We stayed in the Electric Loop, site #14. Site was heavily wooded and very private; we were surrounded by woods on three sides, and could only see our neighbors across the narrow loop road. Site included a picnic table, fire ring, grill grate and lantern post. Pad was nice and level; didn’t need to use any blocks. Driveway was just long enough to accommodate our truck. Site was a little farther from the bath house than we usually prefer, but didn’t really matter as we were camping sans kids this time. I loved the privacy of this site, so I didn’t mind the little bit of extra walking. Almost all the sites looked relatively private, with a fair amount of trees in between, but our was on of the only sites that was truly surrounded by forest. Since we were here in November, the leaves were especially beautiful.

Bath house was large, heated and extremely clean; looks recently renovated. There was also a nice large dishwashing station on the Men's side, which I love. The park itself is very quiet, pretty, and easy to get around. Lots of multi-use trails, which i believe are mostly flat, so maybe not the best for die-hard hiking enthusiasts. We took the Lake Trail down to the day-use area, and it was a very pleasant, scenic hike that took less than 20 minutes. The lake/day-use area is beautiful, with a pavilion, picnic tables, boat launch area, volleyball and large recycled-tire playground for kids. There were quite a few people out and about, more than I would have expected during November. The lake is popular for fishing, kayaking and canoeing (no swimming allowed). During the on-season, canoes and kayaks are available for rent to explore the lake and water trails in the adjacent Tuckahoe Creek. Would love to come back in the summer to check them out. There is also a disc golf course, challenge course, and archery range on-site.

Overall, we really enjoyed this park. It has all the major elements we typically look for: privacy, lots of trees, electric hookups, clean bath house, large playground, and a place to fish. The fact that it’s only about an hour’s drive from us is a bonus. We can’t wait to come back in warmer weather with the kids!

We wanted to go to Annapolis Maryland and this campground is only about 45 to 55 minutes away. It is a Maryland State Park, that has power loops, non power loops and cabins. There is disk or frisbee golf, hiking, and bike riding. It is surrounded by farmland. But it easy to get to Annapolis from this campground. They also rehab injuries birds at the park.

We stayed at this campground mid week in late April and were 1 of 4 campers on the entire electric loop. There did seem to be quite a few sites reserved for the upcoming weekend. All interior roads were paved and in great condition. The sites all had nice separation of forest between them and had gravel pads and paved aprons. All sites in this loop were electric only, with no water or sewer. We did not use the dump station. The sites did vary quite a bit in length and levelness so bigger rigs may have some difficulty. We are in a 35 ft Class A. The restrooms and showers were clean and well maintained. We came in from the north on 301, taking MD 405 and MD 304 with no problems. All online directions have you coming in from the south which is really out of the way.
