About
The larger, year-round of Pocomoke River State Park's two genuinely separate, independently-addressed campgrounds (see also "Milburn Landing Campground"). 172 campsites with modern bathhouses and hot showers, plus group camping (loop not specified by the park). 8 mini cabins are separate lodging, not included in the campsite total above. 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, Group $50.00-$102.00/night (park-wide fee table, covers both Pocomoke River 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). Pets allowed in all camping loops except the Robins Nest loop; maximum two pets per campsite.
