I've camped at Ramblin' Pines and Jellystone in Hagerstown, but they're expensive and I'm looking for somewhere inexpensive to go for a quick weekend here or there.The options that I know of are:- Patapsco State Park- Little Bennett Campground- Greenbelt National Park- Cherry Hill- Kapitol KOAThe latter 2 are just as expensive. Greenbelt NP doesn't have electric hookups and my battery is already questionable. :(Patapsco and Little Bennett seem to cater to smaller campers. Has anyone camped at either of them in a bigger rig? My fifth wheel is 42'. I don't mind shoe-horning it onto a site, I just want to make sure I'm not going to get stuck.Thoughts? Other ideas?

It appears that Little Bennett Campground may work out. Not too far, seemingly inexpensive (though, I'm having a hard time finding actual pricing).The "D" loop looks pretty decent from maps:http://binged.it/1xWyN3O

Hmm, Little Bennett is still like mid-$40/night. I'm really hoping to find something in the low $30s. I am going to have to look harder at Patapsco but they only have two 40' sites and both seem unavailable.

We live in Columbia area. Brunswick Family Campground on the Potomac River is not to everyone's liking. We camp there frequently because we kayak and fish often. 1 hour drive.River and Trail Outfitters manage the site now.On the C & O Canal as well so the bike/walking path is right there. You go over train tracks and travel along a gravel road for about a 1/2 mile to reach the CG. Its 38.00 with tax I believe, have seen big rigs there.Bring ear plugs if your sleep is easily disturbed.Good luck.

Check this list of MD Campgrounds. Doubtful you are going to find full hookup sites for $30.00 in MD.
