Smallwood State Park, Charles County, 2750 Sweden Point Road, Marbury MD
Based on my future arrival to Maryland on April 23rd, I did a lot of research to determine where I could park my 30-foot mobile home. As a result, I stumbled upon information regarding Smallwood State Park, located on Mattawoman Creek which became my home of residence for 14-days (April 23 to May 7th).
I was a resident of Maryland for thirty-one years and never knew this park exist. None did I know this park which consist of 984 acres contains a marina, boat ramps, fishing pier, picnic areas, cabins for rent, hiking trails, nature center, primitive campsites; fifth-wheel trailers and mobile homeowner campsites. Also, the park is the historic preservation site for General William Smallwood, Smallwood’s Retreat.
This State Park is stunning. For 14-days I was in awe every time I walked the one-lane vehicle roadways, smelled the freshness in the air, listened to chirps from birds, see squirrels chase each other – up trees or through bushes. Yet at night, this park was extremely quiet except for occasional hoots from owls. In addition, I consider Smallwood State Park to be a convenient blessing for mobile homeowners, since it provides a free dump and freshwater station which alleviates the need for Rv’ers to search for these stations elsewhere. Please call 301-743-7613 to determine the daily rate or 14-day fee before you go.
This is what I saw through the lens of my camera. I hope you enjoy these pictures and visit this park in the future.
