About
Deep Creek Lake State Park, on Maryland's largest freshwater lake in Garrett County, offers 105 campsites (82 basic, 23 electric) with heated bathhouses and a dump station, plus 2 mini cabins, 1 yurt, and a Bear Den Adirondack shelter (these are lodging, not included in the campsite total above). Open April 15 - December 15. 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. 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). Pets allowed in the Browning, Beckman, and Garrett camp loops - the Delphia Brant loop is pet-free.
