Ridge Rider Campground

28 RV Sites, 44 Tent Sites

Ridge Rider Campground in Little Orleans, Maryland, offers 27 RV sites and 44 tent sites across 222 acres in the Potomac's ridge-and-valley country, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 45 feet. Full-hookup and water-and-electric back-in categories join a pull-through tier, with an outdoor pool, recreation center, game room, and pond. Twenty-seven sites span back-in full hookup, back-in water-and-electric, and pull-thru categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted with site WiFi, sized to 45 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Confirm your tier, as the water-and-electric category does not carry sewer at the site. Forty-four tent sites make this predominantly a tent property. A general store, laundry, propane fills, dump station, restrooms, showers, portable toilets, firewood, and RV storage handle the practical side. One policy to know: outside firewood is not permitted, but firewood is available at the camp store — a standard measure against invasive pests. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with a recreation center, game room, sports courts, basketball, volleyball, horseshoes, corn hole, a pond, playground, pavilion, and walking trails filling the rest. Canoeing, kayaking, fishing, swimming, hiking, and biking run on the river, with offroading nearby. Two hundred twenty-two acres where the Potomac winds out of the Western Maryland highlands gives the property genuine space. The C&O Canal towpath, Green Ridge State Forest, and Paw Paw Tunnel are all close. Summer and fall foliage drive demand. Reserve ahead.
