Maryland packs a dense, varied lineup of military RV parks into a small state — a Navy campground across the river from the Naval Academy, an Army post between Baltimore and D.C., a Navy air station on the Chesapeake, a lakefront recreation center in Southern Maryland, the closest FamCamp to the nation’s capital, and an Army proving ground near the Pennsylvania line. Wherever you’re headed in the Mid-Atlantic, there’s likely a base-connected stop nearby.
Annapolis
Across the Severn River from the Naval Academy and downtown Annapolis.
- The Campground at NSA Annapolis — NSA Annapolis, Navy. 14 RV pads (30-amp only) within walking distance of the Navy Exchange, commissary, and USNA Golf Course.
Insider tip: Only 30-amp power is available here, not 50 — if your rig needs 50-amp, make sure you have the right adapter or plan accordingly before you arrive.
Fort Meade / BWI Corridor
Roughly midway between Baltimore and Washington, D.C. — a practical base for either city.
- Camp Meade RV Park — Fort Meade, Army. Full-hookup sites with easy access to the MARC Train into both Baltimore and Washington, D.C.
Southern Maryland
Anchored by NAS Patuxent River and the Navy’s large recreation complex at Solomons on the Chesapeake Bay.
- Goose Creek Campgrounds — NAS Patuxent River, Navy. Full-hookup sites open February through October.
- Solomons Navy Recreation Center — NRC Solomons, Navy. One of the largest Navy outdoor recreation facilities anywhere, with RV sites across multiple areas plus cottages and cabins on the Patuxent River and Chesapeake Bay.
Insider tip: Solomons is worth planning as a multi-day stay rather than a one-night stop — it’s less a campground and more a full recreation complex, with a marina, beach, and boat rentals on-site.
DC Metro / Camp Springs
The closest FamCamp to Washington, D.C. — a practical base for sightseeing without D.C.-area RV park prices.
- Joint Base Andrews FamCamp — JB Andrews, Camp Springs, Air Force. A wooded, concrete-pad FamCamp and the closest military campground to downtown D.C.
Northeast Maryland / Aberdeen
Convenient to I-95 travelers heading between Baltimore, Philadelphia, and points north.
- Shore Park Travel Camp & Marylander RV Park — Aberdeen Proving Ground, Army. Two separate campgrounds on the same post — Shore Park has full facilities (bathhouse, laundry), while the older Marylander RV Park is bare-bones long-term parking. Specify which one you mean when calling.
Who Can Stay
Military RV parks and FamCamps are generally open to active duty, retirees, National Guard and Reserve members, and DoD civilians, though eligibility and priority rules vary by installation and branch. Always confirm your eligibility and any sponsor requirements directly with the campground before booking.
Tips for Booking in Maryland
- JB Andrews and Camp Meade book up fast given their D.C./Baltimore proximity — reserve as early as your eligibility window allows, especially around cherry blossom season and summer.
- Confirm amp service before you arrive — several Maryland sites (NSA Annapolis) offer 30-amp only, not the 50-amp some larger rigs need.
- Have your military ID and any required paperwork ready for base gate access; some installations require advance visitor passes for guests without a DoD ID.
- Southern Maryland’s Solomons and Patuxent River sites are worth combining into one trip if you’re touring the Chesapeake Bay — they’re under an hour apart.
