I promised my 10 and 14 year old some bay fishing and camping this summer (probably this month). Any decent campgrounds in the Calvert Cliffs area? Where would be the best place to launch? Can I keep an 18' boat at a campground?

I appreciate any intel/info that would make it fun for the kids. I know they can fossil hunt somewhere in this area.

Thanks Much!

I 2nd the Patuxent campsites recommendation...Stayed there for the first time last year, and it is a nice facility, and close to lots of good adventures on the Patuxent....you dont even need to go into the bay for good fishing/crabbing.

Croakers at night, decent white perch over the shell bottoms all day...or get some handlines, and go up into a cove and catch crabs....lotsa fun for boys 10-14 years old.

Good Luck..

If you are active/retired military you can stay at the Navy Recreation Center Solomons (NRC Solomons). It is just a couple of miles from the mouth of the bay on the Pax. Very nice campground, ramp and even transient slips.
