Swallow Falls State Park

Oakland, Maryland

Swallow Falls State Park is a campsite / RV park located in Oakland.

This mountain park is located nine miles north of Oakland, Maryland and contains some of Maryland's most breathtaking scenery. The Youghiogheny River flows along the park's borders, passing through shaded rocky gorges and creating rippling rapids. Muddy Creek Falls is a crashing 53-foot waterfall – a spectacular sight.
