The playground, piccadilly castle, is a large wooden playground that could use some updating. They have a smaller area reserved for only smaller children, which is nice when it's crowded with older kids and they have no regard for your toddler. The swings could use an update and the slides could use a deep clean, but everything was pretty solid. The castle has bricks around it with names of those who contributed toward or helped build it. It's neat to see some familiar names! I recommend this park and playground for those who have kids needing to get rid of energy or those who need to walk and clear their head.

When I saw that Brecknock Park had a wooden playground, I figured I had to check it out. The park is absolutely beautiful. There's lots of open space for throwing around a frisbee, jogging, picnicking, playing soccer - you name it! There's a small garden area to walk through that has the plants and trees labeled (always nice to get in a little outdoor education). The wooden playground was everything I'd hoped for - very well-maintained, lots of different jungle gym options, and I got in my obligatory swing set time on a nice, sturdy swing set. Whether you live in the area or are just passing through, I'd definitely recommend spending some time at this park. Wish I could have enjoyed it longer! I'll absolutely plan on stopping by again next time I'm visiting that area.

We use our phones to pull recipes and reviews on things we buy to keep our camping group up to date, but it wasn't a a deal killer. Park is very clean, restrooms were ok, bring what you need because it's fairly far to a store. I forgot creamer for our coffee which ended as a trip to a restaurant in Denton. Probably wouldn't stay long periods here, but it was great for downtime!

Tuckahoe offers…read moretraditional camp sites as well as an electric loop for RVs, etc, which is where the Dog Wood cabin is located (this allows for the enjoyment of A/C in the summer and heat in the winter). A short walk away is the bath house facility, which is clean and well-maintained. Also closeby is the firewood shed and the camp store (both cash only) which sells snacks, sundries and t-shirts. The park itself also has hiking trails and Atkins Arboretum - a gorgeous nature preserve with its own trails to enjoy. We spotted a pileated woodpecker, a downey woodpecker, and blue jays during our exploration.

So while we were sitting around the camp fire we both heard this loud kinda like a horse was snorting and stomping. Actually like 100 horses. And we were sober! I grab my flashlight and this thing was playing cat and mouse shit with me going from one side of cabin 3 to the other. But the one time I peeped it's hairy foot. Then came around and sure as shit it's BIGFOOT LIKE 8 FOOT TALL AND JUST MASSIVE. I SCREAMED LIKE A WARRIOR AND IT JUST RETREATED INTO THE WOODS. WE RAN IN CABIN 2 SO QUICK. THEN I STAYED UP ALL TILL NEXT MORNING ON BIGFOOT WATCH. JUST TO MAKE SURE IT WASN'T GOING TO MESS WITH US. WE HAVEN'T BEEN BACK SINCE

[Coronavirus review] Tons of people drive past the turnoff…read morefor this place on the way to the beach without ever giving it a thought. Is it worth making a detour? In our social distancing era, the calculus changes perhaps, as the beaches will be crowded and this place will not. Most of the actual preserve is a gravel road; you don't need four-wheel drive or anything, but you'll be dusty. Of several trails, the one at the very end, Ferry Point, leads through an interesting manicured landscape with gnarly trees encircling the path. The offshoot labeled "jack-in-the-pulpit trail" suggested some nifty pitcher-plant looking foliage, but I saw nothing like that. Maybe I just didn't know what to look for. There's a small beach, and some people were using it for boating or fishing. The water was as pleasant as I've seen on the Eastern shore; calm, clear, and with plenty of plant life. So much of the Chesapeake shore is private land that it's nice to be able to see what the scenery looks like without a McMansion, and this preserve is not a place where I'd spend the whole day, but it is convenient to stop at on the way to or from other things.

Recently visited this park and it's quite nice. Some things to consider. There is some type of mite…read more- possibly Oak mites - that bite everywhere, even under clothing. They don't seem to be chiggers because the bites are everywhere, head to foot, and spaced out whereas chiggers are usually many bites in one area. Itching lasted for about a week. Additionally, there is a huge bald-faced hornet nest on the blue trail as you're heading back. My friend who is about 6 foot almost hit their head on it. We were able to walk past without an issue, however. They aren't usually aggressive unless disturbed. These guys visit me on my deck and are quite chill if I don't swat them. People have already started using it as a landfill and there is quite a bit of trash on the small trail leading to the water. The hornets nest and mites were reported to DNR requesting they place a warning sign. The hornets did nothing wrong and hope they leave them to do their thing.

There is a canal running along one side of it, and a nearby bridge. The park has benches, picnic tables, and a playground (swings, slide, and wood pirate ship). A park this small is not really a destination, but it is nice to have as public space, especially due to the number of tourists visiting St. Michaels. The sitting places and waste disposal are very helpful for those needing a place to rest a bit while walking the town, or to eat lunch, or bring a blanket to picnic. I know that with a baby, stroller, and dogs, this kind of stop can be really helpful just to regroup and regain composure for the next activity. For those with older kids, it's a great spot to get energy out on the playground, or simply running in the grass. This would probably also be a good meeting place for visiting groups, or like a check-in location for a field trip. It is a peaceful little spot, and the harbor is directly across from it, so there are great water views!

The bathrooms/showers were clean BUT I guess I'm used to sites that spray repellent because nature is boss. We drove through the comfort sites of D and they were too tight for my liking. They have yurts and cabins but for me a tad too close. They do have an Island camp site Loved it!!!!! That's a must do. It's 2 sites across a short walking bridge with water view and access.
