About
Martinak State Park sits at the confluence of the Choptank River and Watts Creek near Denton, on Maryland's Eastern Shore. 63 campsites (33 basic, 30 electric) with a bathhouse in each loop; potable water is available around each loop but not as a per-site hookup. There is currently no working dump station - the park's own page states it is "closed for replacement until further notice" (a temporary outage, not a permanent closure), confirmed by its live amenities list as well. 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 $19.50-$20.50/night, Campsite Electric $25.50-$26.50/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 all areas of the park except the shelter and cabins.
