Green Ridge Forest State Park is one of the largest state forests in Maryland, spanning 47,000 acres. The park boasts numerous hiking trails, fishing along the Potomac River, and hunting.
There are 100 primitive campsites throughout the forest, each equipped with a picnic table and fire ring. To use a campsite, you must register in person at the forest headquarters at 28700 Headquarters Drive NE, Flintstone, MD 21530. The fee to stay is $10 per night, payable only in cash or check.
Campsite 65 on Outdoor Club Road has got to be one of the most spectacular primitive campsites in the whole of Maryland. It's set back from the road on a ledge looking east over the Potomac into West Virginia. The road is an easy descent to the C&O canal with another perfectly pleasant campsite at the bottom.
