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.
Mountain Road is an enjoyable road that offers four good-sized campsites, two of which are nicely perched on the banks of a good-sized mountain creek. Other than a fairly steep descent, the road doesn't present any real challenges.
