Maryland District Ranger Contact Station & Campground Office

The Maryland District Ranger Contact Station serves as the primary gateway for outdoor enthusiasts exploring the unique landscapes of the region. Situated at a low elevation of just 6 feet, this facility acts as a vital hub for visitors, providing necessary backcountry camping permits, hunting information, entrance passes, and over-sand vehicle permits. It is an essential stop for those planning to immerse themselves in the local wilderness.

This site is uniquely tailored for tent campers and those seeking a rugged, backcountry experience rather than traditional developed campgrounds. Because the site offers no utility hookups, it is best suited for self-sufficient adventurers who enjoy primitive camping and want to minimize their footprint while exploring the coastal terrain. The station is fully ADA accessible, ensuring that all visitors can easily access the information and resources they need to plan their excursion.

Open year-round, this station provides a consistent base of operations regardless of the season. Whether you are looking to secure a permit for a remote trek or simply need guidance on local regulations, the Ranger Contact Station provides the foundational support needed for a successful trip into the Maryland backcountry.
