About This Campsite

Hollofield Campground

Hollofield Campground, often appreciated for its proximity to D.C. and Baltimore, offers campers a unique escape from the urban hustle while still being conveniently close to the city's attractions. Nestled in a wooded area, this campsite is perfect for families and offers both electric and primitive sites.

Features and Facilities

  • Proximity to Major Cities: Ideal for day trips to Washington D.C. or exploring Baltimore's Wharf area.
  • Campsite Types: Offers both electrical and primitive sites, although some sites lack water access.
  • Firewood and Supplies: Firewood available on-site around the clock through an honor system, and ice is also available.
  • Recreational Opportunities: Plenty of trails for hiking and biking, and a river nearby for fishing and cooling off.
  • Wildlife and Nature: Opportunities to see deer, owls, and other wildlife while exploring the wooded surroundings.

Things to Consider

  • Bring leveling tools for your camper as some sites may require adjustments.
  • Shower facilities have hot water, but cleanliness and frequency of maintenance can vary.
  • Campsites tend to be close to each other, which can be both a social opportunity or a limitation for those seeking solitude.
  • Trail markings can be improved, so bringing a trail map or using a GPS device is advisable if planning longer hikes.

Overall Thoughts

Hollofield Campground is a charming campsite that offers a splash of nature within a metropolitan backdrop, making it perfect for both family outings and peaceful retreats. While some minor adjustments are necessary, the serene environment and the availability of conveniences make it a delightful destination for any camping enthusiast.

It's great to have a campground this close to D.C. so you can do day trips to all the sights around. Visited the Wharf area in Baltimore while camping here. The code system and entrance gates are a little tricky, but are needed for safety in the middle of this metropolitan area. The showers could be cleaned more frequently but the water was good and hot. The hosts seem diligent and available. Firewood is for campfires $5 for 8 pieces fall of '24. We had to use levelers for our site at 418. Great for families.

Great staff, very friendly. Nice wooded area. I did find the sites to close to each other. Great if you like to make friends, but not so good if you enjoy keeping to yourself. Overall it was very quiet and well kept. Bathrooms do need help. There was a sign on the door that renovations are coming. Some sites have electrical hookup, but no water.

I love this little gem near Baltimore. Dog and family friendly. Electric sites and primitive sites. Ice on site and firewood on site 24 hrs on the paybox honor system. Dated but clean restrooms and plenty of trails for hiking and biking. River for fishing. And quiet and dark at night. Park staff are awesome.

Decent enough of a campground. The campsites are on the small side where the tents have to be set up in the leveled gravel area so be sure to bring some padding and or a sleeping mat. There's a decent trail that leads off from the campsite but the trail begins at the side of the campgrounds and wraps around half of the campground before really starting. You could cut through the woods but unless if your on the outside loop you might be walking through someone else's campsite. The trail could be a little better marked since there are other trails that break off from it but it will lead you down to the river. That same trail can lead to other trails if you're looking for a longer hike as well which is a nice option.
