Sleepy Hollow Campground

18 RV Sites, 5 Cabins, 9 Tent Sites

Sleepy Hollow Campground in Grantsville, Maryland, offers 18 RV sites, five cabins, and nine tent sites adjacent to New Germany State Park, with 20, 30, and 50-amp electric service and rigs accepted to 36 feet behind a gated entrance.

Eighteen sites run in 30-amp and 30/50-amp categories carrying electric only, sized to 36 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, and site WiFi. There is no water or sewer at the sites — a water filling station sits beside the bathhouse as the alternative, and a dump station is available. Note the 36-foot cap as well. Five cabins and nine tent sites round out the accommodations. A general store, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. Walking trails run the property, with hiking from the grounds and a state park immediately adjacent. Boating, a lake, river, and golf course are all nearby. Pets are welcome. Western Maryland occupies a narrow sliver of Appalachian terrain pinched between Pennsylvania and West Virginia, and it delivers outdoor experiences that most of the Mid-Atlantic has not gotten around to yet. Deep Creek Lake, Swallow Falls, the Casselman River, and New Germany State Park are all destination-caliber, and Grantsville sits at the center of the whole Garrett County outdoor corridor. Summer and fall foliage drive demand in the Maryland highlands. Reserve ahead, and plan your water and tank capacity around the electric-only sites.

Wildwood RV Resort

16 RV Sites

Wildwood RV Resort in East Waterford, Pennsylvania, offers 16 full-hookup RV sites on oversized lots in the wooded hills of Juniata County, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 50 feet.

Sixteen sites run in back-in and pull-through categories, both carrying water, sewer, and electric, sized to 50 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Two straightforward categories keep booking simple, and the oversized lots are what guests notice first — real space between sites rather than the packed rows common at this size. A general store, laundry, propane fills, dump station, restrooms, showers, firewood, a business center, and golf cart rentals handle the practical side. An outdoor pool and spa anchor the summer, with a beach and pond for swimming, fishing, boating, and paddle boats.

The resort sits alongside the scenic Tuscarora Mountains in western Perry County, 15 miles north of the Pennsylvania Turnpike and about an hour west of Harrisburg. The diverse wildlife on the property and the quiet, clean character are what bring seasonal regulars and weekend visitors back, and the Tuscarora State Forest and Little Buffalo State Park are close. Summer and fall foliage drive demand in central Pennsylvania. Reserve ahead for holiday weekends and October color.

1 RV Site, 5 Cabins

James Creek RV Resort in James Creek, PA, offers 1 RV site and 5 cabins, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service and room for a rig up to 38 feet.

The site reservation includes up to 8 people, which makes it workable for a family rather than a couple. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, a general store, firewood, boat storage, and personal mailboxes cover the practical side, and the five cabins mean a reunion group can book the property together. Pets are welcome. The amenity list is that of a full resort: an outdoor pool, mini-golf, a clubhouse, a snack bar, on-site dining, sport courts, basketball, volleyball, a pavilion, a barn, a playground, and walking trails, with fishing, swimming, and hiking on the creek and lake.

River's Rest Marina & Resort

21 Condos

River's Rest Marina and Resort in Charles City, Virginia, offers RV camping alongside 21 condo units across 16.5 acres on the Chickahominy River. A full marina with boat docks and a boat ramp joins an outdoor pool, on-site dining, a bar, playground, and dog park at a water-focused property that opened in 2022. RV sites are available alongside the condos. Contact the resort to confirm hookups, amp service, and length limits for your rig — the published site records are incomplete, and the property is primarily a marina and condo operation with RV camping alongside. Twenty-one condos make up the bulk of the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. The marina anchors the property, with boat docks and a boat ramp opening the river for boating, fishing, and swimming. An outdoor pool, playground, dog park, gaga ball, picnicking, on-site dining, and a bar fill the rest. Everything here is new — the resort opened in 2022 — which is a genuine consideration on a river where many marinas date to the 1960s. The address is 9100 Wilcox Neck Road. The Chickahominy winds through tidal woodland between Richmond and Williamsburg in one of Virginia's most historically layered counties — Charles City County holds several of the great James River plantations, and the river itself was central to both the Powhatan confederacy and the Peninsula Campaign. The fishing runs to largemouth, catfish, and seasonal shad, and both Richmond and Colonial Williamsburg are within about 45 minutes. Summer boating season drives demand. Reserve well ahead.

5 Glamping Sites

Timberline Glamping at Williamsburg delivers a premium glamping near Williamsburg VA experience inside Chickahominy Riverfront Park — a 140-acre James City County park on the banks of the Chickahominy River, just minutes from the most historically significant triangle of landscape in the country. For travelers who want a uniquely comfortable outdoor stay alongside Colonial Williamsburg, Jamestown, and Yorktown without sacrificing modern amenities, Timberline Glamping provides the ideal answer. Fully furnished Safari Tents accommodate families and groups in genuine style, configured as two double beds or a king with two sets of bunk beds. Each tent comes with a mini fridge, coffee maker, air conditioning and heating, and a ceiling fan — amenities that make the word "camping" something of an understatement. A hammock, wood fire ring with cooking grate, picnic table, and two outdoor chairs complete the tent's outdoor living space. Bathhouses with modern restrooms and showers are a short walk away, and two outdoor swimming pools provide a social gathering space for guests of every age. A small store, boat ramp, fishing pier, and direct access to the Virginia Capital Trail for cycling and walking round out the on-site amenities. Pets are welcome. The Chickahominy River frontage sets the glamping property's natural character — a tidal river winding through coastal Virginia lowland forest with the estuarine beauty that defines this corner of the state. Kayaking, canoeing, paddleboarding, and stand-up paddleboarding on the river provide water recreation from the park's own shoreline, and the Capital Trail's miles of scenic bikeway begin directly at the property. Colonial Williamsburg, a short drive away, is the most complete living history site in America — costumed interpreters, preserved 18th-century buildings, and immersive colonial trade demonstrations that fill a full day without repetition. Jamestown Settlement, where Powhatan's Confederacy met the English colony that started everything, and Yorktown Battlefield, site of the final decisive engagement of the American Revolution, complete the Historic Triangle that makes this corner of Virginia genuinely irreplaceable for any American traveler. Busch Gardens Williamsburg adds roller coasters, live shows, and theme park scale for families who want to balance history with thrills. Timberline Glamping at Williamsburg is open seasonally, with the warm-weather months delivering the full combination of river recreation and regional historical access. The blend of comfortable furnished lodging, Chickahominy riverfront setting, and proximity to three of America's most significant historical sites makes this one of the most purposefully positioned glamping destinations on the entire East Coast.
