Camp Aquasco

Camp Aquasco, in Aquasco, Maryland, was acquired in 1974.  

The camp is comprised of 172 acres owned by the Maryland Parks and Planning.  The camp features two sides- one an open field for primitive camping, the other with a lodge and glen shelter unit.  

Facilities
Rentable facilities include seven primitive units, a pavilion, a lodge, and one glen shelter unit. The maximum capacity for the entire camp is 204.  Map

There are five seasonal (November 1 - April 1) port-a-johns and a cold water hydrant (November 1 - April 1) for the primitive sites.

The lodge includes a kitchen, bathroom facilities with flush toilets and a shower, and gas heat and fireplace.  There is a nearby outdoor fire circle. 

The glen shelter unit also includes flush toilets, sinks and a shower, as well as a year-round cold water hydrant. 

Weather warnings are often issued by county. Camp Aquasco is in Prince George’s County.
If threatening weather approaches, take shelter immediately. At Camp Aquasco troops should
evacuate to the main lodge in an emergency.

Paper products (toilet paper, paper towels) are NOT PROVIDED at our campsites (including lodges).
