This was our first ever experience with a Thousand Trails Park and to say the least, it was a…read morepositive one over all. We had a few, minor issues which I'll touch over in a few but over all it was a great experience! We came in late at night and were told to just grab the first spot and we could settle in the following day, which was fine! So we did, found a spot easily. Went up the next day to the ranger station and were given all of our info and was told we could go and pick any Lot we wanted. So we drove around in our truck to survey the campground and lot options. There were many options! Of all sizes, terrains, and locations though-out the park. The campground was huge and had a lot of people. That said, there were plenty of lots to choose from! We ended up deciding to stay on one of the front lots. We found a great corner lot that was HUGE. Lol We drive motorhome that hauls a car trailer with a Jeep and a Ford F-150 hauling a motorcycle trailer. So the large lot definitely made things easier! We ended up not having to disconnect the car trailer and backed the RV in with it still attached. Still had room in front of the RV as well. So huge plus! During our stay we used the bathroom at the Lodge. Both bathrooms were big and roomy. It was clean, modern, and well maintenanced. Sadly, there was only one shower per bathroom. So if you went up at certain times, you'd have to wait. Other times, it was empty. So it just depends on when you went. The other bathroom located on the northern side of the park was another story though. It was old, run down, cramped, it did have two shower stalls though, but it was just in very rough shape. Their website claims the amenities include a library and a game/billiards room. We never did find the claimed library and it's not listed on the map we were given at our arrival either. As for the game/billiards room, this was... a 50/50. Board games were left with pieces scattered everywhere at times. Some days worse then others. To our surprise and disappointment, everything in this room costed money to play besides the board and card games that you could request - if anyone was available in the room otherwise you had to go all the way across the park to the ranger station to get someone. The website doesn't imply any of this would cost a thing. We absolutely understood the charge for the claw, prize, and video games. It only makes sense. The billiards though was another story. We expected these to be free use for everyone to enjoy. This wasn't the case and I feel the website should put a dollar sign next to these so you know they cost. The campground also had outdoor games and activities, like basketball, volleyball, horseshoes, mini golf, and more! I'm not sure if all the equipment was provided but I believe it was for most. I know for mini golf it was. It was free to get the equipment until the end of our stay when it became $1 per colored golf ball. So we had to settle for white, which were free. A minor annoyance because I guess I just feel it shouldn't cost anything unless you don't return the items. So yeah. There is also a boat ramp which was open till the last few days of our stay due to a heavy storm. There are also several fishing spots. We preferred the one on the river as it wasn't catch and release. The view was beautiful too! At night the water was like a sheet of glass it was so still. Absolutely phenomenal! The spa and hot tub were not open during our trip here at this time. They appeared to be down for remodeling. I think the remodel will come out very nicely, if they ever finish. In our whole time here we never saw anyone working on it. So... Over all there was quite a lot to do at this campground. Everyone was extremely friendly. I do wish that the rangers were more clear about certain things and explained some things a bit better. Like the gate codes. We had no idea we got a gate code till we called to try and get back in and the ranger said the gate codes were written on the back of our hanging card. Like I feel they should have told us this when we checked in especially since I had told them we had never been to a Thousand Trails Park before. I also never located the laundry facilities. As for the on site store, it was pretty much useless. The store was pretty bare, which was disappointing. They did have ice cream but it was well over priced. As you can see, the issues we dealt with were very minor. All in all, we had a great time and experience here and would undoubtedly return here. It would be a top choice for campgrounds in the area! It's only a few minute drive from a 7-Eleven and Food Lion as well should you need anything. So there you have it! I tried to include every detail possible. Great park, great staff, and good location!

Located by the Patuxent River with a breathtaking view, Endeavor Point, is a ridden gem with campground, private beaches you can swim, a huge fishing pier, and cottages for rentals. From the moment you step onto the grounds of this place you feel your entire body relaxing. It is an amazing experience! I rented a cottage (Mermaid Folly) for the weekend. The place was very well furnished with a fully equipped kitchen, living and dining room furniture, very comfortable beds with soft linens, clean baths with soft towels. In general, the place was very clean, well decorated, and very functional. What I loved the most about the cottage was the balcony with a fantastic view, sitting outside under the tree close to the water, and listening to the waves breaking by the river shore. I also loved my walks in the mornings and afternoons by the breezy beaches and pier watching people fishing, the sunrising, and the sunset. I strongly recommend Endeavor Point if you want to just relax on a visit during the day, if you like camping overnight, or staying in a very comfortable cottage over the weekend.

The campground itself is well maintained and it has a great pool, fishing peers, small lake with a beach, dog park, and miniature golf/ice cream parlor attached. The amount of drunks driving around on golf carts blasting music, blaring music and profanity coming from campsites, unsupervised kids riding around on bikes and driving golf carts on the same road with these drunks is dangerous. I am sitting here, been up since 5 a.m., thinking about packing up and leaving once the wife and kids wake up. We had the honor of having drunks blasting music across from us at midnight. When I walked over and politely asked them if they could turn it down a little, it set the Redneck fury in full motion. My wife was threatened, I was threatened, the loudness continued, and no one from the campground would answer the after hours number or came by the area. Unless you enjoy Rebel flags flying everywhere and being around the most completely unruly crowds imaginable, I would probably stay away. Nothing ruins a vacation like the need to carry a weapon on you due to people threatening you while being belligerent and drunk. Day 2: I spoke to Security this morning. They said they were aware that they had major issues the night before, but unaware of how far things had gone. They stated that there is an officer at the park until 2 a.m. daily. They stated they would be going to sites in the early afternoon, once the people were awake and sober. They came by my site to speak to my wife about the guy who came over cussing and threatening us while I was dealing with the mob across from our site. Not sure what they did, but it is now 4 p.m. and this place is 100% different than last night. We actually took a nap outside in the zero gravity chairs to enjoy the cool breeze. We will see how the rest of the weekend goes before I change my rating. The rest of the stay: The rest of the stay was great with the occasional outburst from the idiots across from us, pretty much just a jab at me to try to piss me off. I will give them a 3 as the place is very well maintained and there is a lot of fun to be had for the family. I do disagree with them that they let the people stay. If a large group creates a hostile environment, disturbing many others, and then threaten a woman, and are allowed to stay? The security, while trying to keep the peace, are far more tolerant than they should be.

Had a great pizza truck which was awesome to bring pizza back to the room especially since the Italian restaurant shut down during COVID.
