The Rocky Gap Casino Resortĭuring my most recent visit to Rocky Gap, I opted for a hotel stay with the bonus of a spa visit. The swimming pool area and fitness room are reserved for hotel guests only and are keycard operated for entry. The casino, the spa, the multiple restaurants, the lakefront outdoor space, and a world-class golf course welcome everyone, even those not staying at the hotel. Ĭampground visitors can utilize almost all that the hotel side offers as well. Reservations are made by phone or online. For a more “glamping” style of camping, there are 15 mini cabins, as well as a yurt and a private chalet also available for rent. If you’re self-contained and don’t require on-site power, opt for a loop with no electricity because far fewer rigs stay at this end of the campground. Be aware that there is only one loop within the campground that offers electricity and is pet-friendly.

With easy access to the lake and a beach reserved solely for campground visitors, along with multiple hiking trails including the 5-mile-long lakeside loop trail, outdoor activities are abundant on over 3000 acres of public land. It doesn’t feel crowded to me, even when fully booked. The sites are large and level, mostly wooded, with considerable space between sites. I’ve camped at Rocky Gap State Park Campground a handful of times, and it remains one of my most favorite places to camp.

Whether your go-to is a wooded campsite near plentiful hiking trails to explore or a luxurious spa day with a comfortable hotel room to relax away your stress, it’s all available for anyone to design the perfect escape. What I love most about Rocky Gap is it fits everyone’s style. What had once been home only to state park land, the expansive Rocky Gap estate has morphed into a full-fledged escape from the ordinary where resort-meets-casino, spa, golf, campground, and outdoor lover’s nirvana.

Luckily for us, there is such a place on the outskirts of Flintstone, Maryland - Rocky Gap State Park.ĭeep in the heart of the rolling green Appalachian Mountains in Allegany County lies a resort paradise along the shores of Lake Habeeb.

An escape that makes us feel like we’re far away, even if we’re close to home. Sometimes we need that weekend getaway where we don’t have to drive too far or board an airplane.
