Default Best Campgrounds on East Coast
Hello again fellow campers. I need as many people to respond to this as can be. Please give me your best advice on campgrounds to stay at. I live in Maryland, so I am looking for spots that offer tons of things for children to do and for families to get involved in. My ideal spot would be secluded, up in the mountains somewhere, plenty of shade and beside a deep lake. We went to Raystown Lake Resort last summer in Pennslyvania. It is nice and I would recommend any campers to go there, try the 25pd plus carp feeding down at the marina. The kids get a blast out of hand feeding the big fish. Literally 20 or more huge fish will come up to the edge of the lake and let the kids feed them. I spent 3 or 4 bucks and an hour watching my little girl do it. Anyway, we are adventurers and are looking for great places to camp, preferably within a few hours of home. Please give me your best advice. Thank you.

Welcome to the forum, Andra!

Are you looking for a campground for tent camping or RVing?

Andra,
My suggestions are dated, but may still be good. Deep Creek Lake in Garrett Co., Claytor Lake, VA, and Lake Cupsuptic, Maine near Rangeley.

Ppine- don't know about the Maine site, but the other two were still pretty nice last time I passed through them. Deep Creek Lake is (or was anyhow) gorgeous.

North/South Lake Campground in the Catskill Mountains. On a mountain, with a two lakes and plenty to do. Sounds right up your alley.

I absolutely love the Finger Lakes region. We stayed at Cayuga Lake State Park last summer, and planning to head back there this year.
