Sleepy Hollow Campground

22 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents5 acres · Grantsville, MD

This property and farm has been in our family for 3 generations. In 1964 my grandfather started the campground due to limited camping at New Germany. My father tells stories of it being filled with guests all summer long! Over the years there was few upgrades and now it's in need of a facelift. Landscaping, electric upgrades and bathhouse remodels were completed Spring 2021. We will continue to renovate in phases it's been a labor of love, but you can still see the beauty of this rural location and enjoy the peace and quiet. Hope you enjoy your stay. Lots of trees, shade and nature. It's located near New Germany State Park, 1.5 miles by car, less than a mile by foot. The state park has a lake and hiking trails. Garrett County has so much to offer, waterfalls, lakes, hiking, skiing, Amish gifts, history, fresh air, beautiful scenery. The campground was first started in 1964 by my grandparents, we are currently completing renovations in phases.

Abrams Creek is like camping in a nature preserve, rather than in a commercial campground. On our campground, there are no generators, loud electronics, or other things that would distract from appreciating the sights and sounds of this pristine natural environment. And this is always a great place to beat the heat! We have a mountain climate; the peak temperature most days in the summer is in the high 70's or very low 80's, and at night, temperatures go down to about 60. You'll be breathing cool, clean, fresh mountain air all day long! Hot showers are included, and all sanitary facilities are *sterilized* between guests. We have taken every measure to safeguard your health! We are located in the mountainous Potomac Highlands region of West Virginia. Our vision is an environmentally conscious, eco-friendly campground developed in harmony with nature. We are not only a business, but also serve as an anchor for others who want to live more simply and close to the earth. The concept of rural revitalization means reinventing rural life so that it is economically sound, intellectually stimulating, and emotionally satisfying. Ask any of our staff if you would like to learn more about this!

The best camping near Herrington Manor State Park guide

Overview

About

When it’s just about time to get lost in the beauty of the woods, Herrington Manor State Park hits the spot. With a 53-acre lake at the center of a plethora of scenic goodness, you'll be hard-pressed to find a more picturesque getaway. Were talkin’ 70s woodland vibes with log cabins quaintly scattered on a wooded knoll just above the lake.

Turn to the forested trails for pleasurable strolls or epic adventures. Plan to make it out to one of the maple syrup or apple butter making demos (just too sweet to handle) that go on in the spring and fall. Seriously, could this park be anymore charming?

When to go

The ideal time to visit Herrington Manor State Park is during the warmer months, from late spring to early fall, when the park's full splendor is on display. Summer offers the perfect climate for water activities and hiking. Conversely, winter can be quite cold, and some facilities may be less accessible, making it less ideal for a visit.

Know before you go

Check the weather forecast before your visit to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.
Be aware of park hours, typically from 8:30am to 5pm, and plan your activities within this timeframe.
Remember to pack essentials like water, sunscreen, and insect repellent for a comfortable outing.
Stay informed about any trail closures or area restrictions that may be in effect during your visit.
Facilities such as restrooms and picnic areas are available, but it's wise to confirm their availability beforehand.
