We stumbled upon the Catoctin National Park while we were on a road trip and decided to check out their campgrounds. Not only was there availability, but also the Park Ranger who assisted us was wonderful. He helped us create our account, book our site, led us to the campground so we wouldn't get lost, and gave us directions to town where we could grab a quick bite. Campground had firewood, showers, and toilets. The campsites were very well maintained. We would stay again.

Nice and quiet. Very clean.

This year has not been the best. It’s a great campsite when taken care of but this year the camp hosts seem very lazy. They never clean up the sites after each camper, there’s trash and burnt wood left over from the people who were there last, the wood that is delivered is left out in the rain and not tarped or quartered (even though there is a tarp in plain sight right behind the wood shed for that purpose). You’re expected to pay $5.00 for wood, which is fine, but this year it’s rained a lot, so the wood has always been soaking wet. It’s almost impossible to burn anything so you can forget about having a nice fire. Hopefully next year will be better.

Poor maintenance of bathrooms and sites were the rule at Owens Creek. You’re better off going to the nearby state park camping sites that are the opposite of the federally managed Owens.

The campground boasts of a swimming site but it is FOUR MILES AWAY! Also, I was suppose to have a prime site (#51) because it’s adjacent to a spring. THERE WAS NO SPRING! Drove 150 miles to get there. What a disappointment! Left a day early.
