Susquehanna State Park Campground — Hotel in Havre de Grace

Stayed here for 3 nights with our 22 foot travel trailer. Initial impressions weren’t great, check in was 3 pm but we arrived around 1:30 and they still wouldn’t let us go to our spot even though it was empty. So we then had to drive around really narrow roads to find a place to hang for the time. It was 90 degrees so not fun and the map was not good enough to determine where we could take our trailer. There is also virtually no Verizon signal in the park, maybe 1 bar so our booster was able to give us enough signal to look at the weather and check the Internet but no streaming. Also the park is not very well maintained, many low branches for a 10 foot tall trailer. There are only 7-8 sites with electric, water was only available at the different spigots but we were able to hook up to one before we parked and fill our fresh water tank. Not all of the electric sites are good for an RV. We had site 60 which was very well suited for an RV/trailer (even bigger than ours), plenty of room and lots of shade. Bath houses were standard for a state park. The dump station was sufficient although it’s narrow and they could put some more pavement so that you can not drive over the actual dump location. We were only here for a family reunion but the trail system looked nice and access to the river was available. Lots of bikers...

We had a wonderful time camping at Susquehanna State Park. The campground was peaceful, with spacious, shaded sites, and the bathrooms were impressively clean and well-maintained – a big plus when camping.

We hiked the Green Trail, which was scenic, well-marked, and relaxing. It’s not too difficult, making it enjoyable for families, but still gives you that quiet, immersed-in-nature feeling. The park has a good variety of trails, so there’s definitely more to explore if you enjoy hiking.

This park is also very suitable for biking, with several trails and paths that make it fun to ride while taking in the natural surroundings. Between the hiking and biking options, you could easily spend a few days here without running out of things to do.

What makes Susquehanna special is its historic character – the old buildings and preserved sites give it a unique charm that adds to the overall experience.

Overall, this is a great spot for anyone who enjoys camping, hiking, or biking, with the added bonus of history all around. We left refreshed and are already looking forward to...

The park itself is great, but the campground has been starved for funds for years. We are avid RVers and visit many state park campgrounds per year. This campground suffers from years of deferred maintenance. Only the bathhouses are reasonably good. And the volunteer host who runs check-in is nice. The roads are deteriorated. Most sites are no longer level, full of holes and gulleys from rainwater. Some sites are all gravel next to the road. Many fire rings are broken, fire bricks are crumbled. Many water spigots are inoperable and covered with orange pilons. Many sites have un-usable picnic tables covered in thick moss. Pathways to the bathhouse are overgrown and washed out by rainwater We did see a ranger patrol the area perhaps...
