WHEN: May 30-June 1, 2025. Check in/out: 3pm/12pm

This mountain park is located nine miles north of Oakland, Maryland and contains some of Maryland's most breathtaking scenery. The Youghiogheny River flows along the park's borders, passing through shaded rocky gorges and creating rippling rapids. Muddy Creek Falls is a crashing 53-foot waterfall – a spectacular sight. Tall hemlocks dominate the silent woods. The 1.25 mile trail through S​wallow Falls guides hikers to some of the most breath-taking scenery in Western Maryland. Other trails through the area include a trail to Herrington Manor State Park which boasts a 53 acre lake for swimming/boating. Your payment to Swallow Falls includes entry to Herrington Manor.

PROPOSED PLAN:
Fri, May 30: Arrive, Set up, Camp Fire
Sat, May31: 9:30 Group Activity TBD at Friday evening campfire
5pm Group dinner
Sun, Jun 1: Breakfast, strike camp, return home

No one is under any obligation to participate in the proposed plan. This is your time to be enjoyed as you like.

For the group dinner, just bring your favorite picnic food. Pleas refrain from store bought chips/dip as your main offering. It usually doesn't get eaten and frankly; it is a cop out.

Please bring something GREEN to tie around your campsite post to help me identify you are part Just for Fun Camping.

I ask that everyone bring a bundle of firewood to support our 2 evening fires.
