Patapsco Valley State Park - Ellicot City, MD
Site Number 401
We stayed at this same site last year so I think I already posted photos of it but just sharing to show that nothing has changed:)
Oh and this year we visited the Orange Grove area - it's about 20 minutes from the Hollifield camping area. We walked across the suspension bridge and also hiked the trail to Cascade Falls - I'm sure it's clearly posted somewhere and I just missed it but if you want to see the falls take the first left when the trail splits - the right will send you very high up on a mountain with 3 river crossings (from personal experience - I don't advise anyone attempting this with a 2 & 3 year old but they were troopers and for some reason loved it.)
Hiking upward
water crossing on the boulders - yes that is the trail blaze marker on the boulder meaning you must cross here
smaller waterfall uptrail
Cascade Falls - surprisingly not as "full" as I had expected especially after 2 days of rain
