Little Orleans Campground is located on 222 acres of beautiful woodlands in the Upper Potomac River valley in Western Maryland and provides a total camping experience.

Each site has a fire ring and a picnic table, and each RV site has electric, water, and sewer. Full-service cabins are also available for rental. The Chespeake & Ohio Canal is located beside the Potomac River 1/2 mile to the south for additional hiking, biking, and horseback riding. There is also a boat ramp at that point on the river that is ideal for canoeing, kayaking, and other small craft. Both large and small group camping areas available.
