It's been years since I have been here. (Many great memories with the boy scouts here.) It was a different and wonderful experience this time. The campsites are wonderful, maintained, and well covered by beautiful mother nature. There are nice paths and trails to walk. Do be aware of the immense amount of poison ivy. It is as close to two feet from some campsites. The waterfront beach area is so great. They have kayaks, canoes and row boats for rent. That's legit!! Nice, clean and graded sand. The views are spectacular. Especially if you are a photographer. The playground and playground area is ideal. There is nice shade as well from the trees. There are a few cool pavilions for use. You do have to reserve those. The store is extremely convenient. There's always that one item that you forget. Worry no more that store is clutch!

Rocky Gap Casino and Golf Resort is beautifully situated off I68. The property is gorgeous with a lake and surrounding forest. It would have been a perfect getaway except for a few things: 1) the outdoor speakers drowning out the sounds of nature, 2) the dirty windows blocking the beautiful scenery, and 3) the loud HVAC in the room that drowned out any silence while you were sleeping or the television or even talking... it was so LOUD. Otherwise, a visit here is totally worthwhile. Hopefully they will renovate soon and make the aforementioned corrections to make it the perfect place to visit for golfing, gambling, relaxing at the spa, getting a bite to eat, hiking, or just chilling by the lake.

Maryland does a good job with their State Parks, roads in and out easy access, roads are in good condition, signs for info and directions . Campsites were well sized, you are not overlooked by neighbors. Electric and non electric sites with water throughout the loops, cabins also available. Bathhouses with showers and toilets, one bathroom stall handicap accessible. We had a great time. There is a lake and several hiking trails. + a casino at one end of the lake. Worth at least a 2-3 day visit. The lake offers 2 beaches, pavilions etc for a great day out. Also there is an Aviary, was not open for our stay.

Rocky Gap State Park is a great spot for a peaceful day outdoors. The park is very clean and well-maintained, with large restrooms that were spotless during our visit. There are plenty of stations to grill and relax, giving you lots of options depending on the size of your group. Parking is easy with a spacious and well-organized lot, and I really appreciated the dedicated trash storage—no need to carry bags home.
There’s a wide range of activities available, whether you're looking to hike, enjoy the water, or just sit back and take in the scenery. It’s a great place to disconnect from the noise and reconnect with nature. Highly recommend for families, couples, or solo visits. Will definitely be coming back.

I try to come to Rocky Gap Casino and Resort twice a year to relax. This time was no different. I always have the best time chilling and meeting new people. The staff is always so nice and the patrons are just as nice and friendly. I would like to acknowledge one particular staff person. Keenan, hopefully I spelled his name right, was the young man at the coffee shop in the morning. He was sooo welcoming, and his kindness made my day. Thank you, Rocky Gap, for a calm and relaxing 2 days.
