There is some nice scenic National Park land on Pennsylvania Ave. not to far from you. How about some rustic Atlantic sea shore. Maybe some places in West Va. or western Penn.
PA ave in Hagerstown? I grew up in Hagerstown I assure there are no parklands.
Not a Boondock but a Park Greenbelt Park If you keep your eyes open it's just amazing what you can find.
Wine country in Virginia/Maryland, could also yield results that would be fun. We have stayed in a few over the years, along with athletic fields/parking lot's all over the country.

Boondocking is not staying without hookups at state parks, national forest campgrounds, etc. That is dry camping. It also is not staying at WalMarts, truck stops, etc. That is a one-night stop enroute to somewhere else.
Boondocking is finding a spot on public lands such as national forest land (not campgrounds), BLM land, state land (not campgrounds). In some states you can stay at fisherman's access areas run by the state.
I just looked through my boondocking reference sites and there really isn't anything in Maryland. You might want to do a post for Maryland in this site's boondocking forum. Also, look on the top of that forum at the 'Sticky' to see pictures of fabulous boondocking spots. Most are in the West.
We do a lot of it but it's in the West and there are miles and miles of remote roads to get you to that 'perfect' spot, preferably with no one else around.
you will need to follow that lead and find the proper Boondocking Spot, otherwise just find a spot and Dry Camp. Lots out there.
