Treehouses may have been a childhood highlight, but\u00a0Ella\u2019s Enchanted Treehouses<\/a>\u00a0lets everybody enjoy their adventurous perks \u2013 not just children! This wooded year-round treehouse retreat offers many elevated, fully furnished, and different-sized shelters that hold around 3\u20136 glampers.<\/p>\n

Three treehouses each have specific designs for certain glampers: couples, families, and glampers needing ADA accessibility.<\/p>\n

When you\u2019re not glamping, hike from the Meadow Mountain trailhead, which is less than a mile away. With Deep Creek Lake close by, swimming and fishing are available. If you\u2019re glamping here during the winter, you can go snowmobiling or visit the Wisp Ski Resort for some skiing.<\/p>\n

Savage River Lodge<\/a>\u00a0is one of the most highly-rated glampsites in Maryland. It\u2019s open year-round, and the staff is committed to providing friendly and relaxed hospitality for their guests. In addition to catered or fine dining and guest rewards, glampers are in for luxury during their stay!<\/p>\n

Besides the lodge itself, other glamping accommodations include yurts and private cabins. The yurts are fully equipped and furnished and surrounded by peaceful forested acres. The same is true for the pet-friendly cabins, which come with differing amenities depending on their design.<\/p>\n

Though the hosts don\u2019t consider this rustic retreat a real glampsite, the treehouses stand out from normal camping shelters. Certain amenities like hot outdoor showers, nearby eateries, and electricity in one of the specialty treehouses provide a less primitive experience.<\/p>\n

7. Cherry Hill Park, College Park<\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re visiting Washington DC,\u00a0Cherry Hill Park<\/a>\u00a0is the best glampsite in Maryland that\u2019s close to the nation\u2019s capital. Glampers with RVs have a choice of standard or premium full-hookup sites, whether they\u2019re back-ins or pull-throughs.<\/p>\n

Cherry Hill offers many activities for glampers to entertain themselves. Tractor rides, miniature golf, dog runs, gem mining, and other activities promise an exciting time! If you want to venture out of Cherry Hill Park, its on-site bus depot will take you to DC.<\/p>\n

One thing to consider is that this Maryland glampsite doesn\u2019t offer winter camping in its cabins.<\/p>\n

While you\u2019re staying here, take advantage of the 30 miles of hiking, biking, and equestrian trails. Maybe play a round of golf. If you\u2019re weekend glamping in Maryland, book your stay here for the camp\u2019s weekend activities that are suited for all ages!<\/p>\n
