Savage River State Forest Meadow Mountain Road Dispersed Sites

Multiple unmarked dispersed camping areas along Meadow Mountain Road in Savage River State Forest, Maryland’s largest contiguous forest. Sites range from roadside pull-offs to larger clearings that can handle group camping, some with elevated positions offering views across the Appalachian ridges. Fire rings present at most established spots, with decent spacing between sites for privacy.

Access via well-maintained gravel forest roads, suitable for most vehicles in dry conditions but can become muddy and slick when wet. Popular with local hunters and 4WD enthusiasts, busiest during fall foliage season. Winter access possible but road maintenance limited during snow season.
