Super quiet, primitive campground for DOD personnel. There are campsites with picnic tables and stone fire rings. There are pavilions with picnic tables, and a couple of small charcole grills. There is a playground and a boat ramp. There are no showers; but, there is a portapot. The campground is very clean and quiet.

DOD personnel only - must have ID to reserve and use. Relatively quiet (there is an Army airfield nearby) primitive campground. Not sure if the RV spots are live anymore, I've only seen tents. Porta-potty only, no showers. Boat ramp is great for putting small boats and canoes. Playground is in good condition.

I don't think anyone has been down here in a while. Overgrown and not used, but a beautiful area.

It was quite a nice area years ago, but has been neglected for almost a decade now resulting in campsites no longer usable and a playground that is overgrown that kids can't use anymore. Still a beautiful area with access to the Bush river and the Chesapeake Bay.

We were stationed in Edgewood when I was born. We left when I was 7 but many memories were centered around here and the rod and gun club. It has not changed very much.
