About
The smaller of Cunningham Falls State Park's two genuinely separate, independently-addressed campgrounds, 6.3 miles by road from William Houck Campground (use this campground's own address, not William Houck's). 27 sites (20 basic, 7 electric), a bathhouse with hot showers (April-October), and free access to William Houck's dump station (also April-October only, not year-round). Reservable through the Maryland Park Service's own ReserveAmerica/Aspira contract, hosted at parkreservations.maryland.gov (not a reserveamerica.com subdomain, though it runs the same underlying platform - confirmed live, "Powered by Aspira").
Fees
Campsite Non-Electric $21.50-$38.75/night, Campsite Electric $27.50-$28.50/night (park-wide fee table, covers both Cunningham Falls campgrounds). Displayed rates are the vendor's own published BASE rates and do NOT reflect holiday/weekend/residency surcharges or a pet fee (Maryland applies these as add-ons rather than publishing a separate resident/non-resident base rate the way some other states do). Leashed pets permitted throughout the entire Manor Area campground (broader than William Houck's loop-restricted policy).
