Maryland might be small, but with its beautiful oceanside beaches and thick forests, the state is perfectly suited to camping.
Options range from stunning beachfront campgrounds to secluded sites tucked away among the woods.
Whether you're planning for a remote backcountry getaway or a family-friendly vacation at a full-service campground, here are the best camping spots I found in the state.
