about us

With 300 acres in Garrett County, Big Run State Park offers rustic camping opportunities with 30 unimproved campsites and a youth group camping area. Situated at the mouth of the Savage River Reservoir, the park is 16 miles from exit 24 of Interstate 68.

The park is actually surrounded by the acreage of Savage River State Forest—so visitors to the area have an even wider array of recreational opportunities with the facilities at all of these public land sites in Western Maryland.

With boat launches nearby, Big Run is a popular base camp for outdoor lover's intent on fishing, camping, hiking or hunting. Pets are permitted at campsites. Big Run is the trailhead for a six-mile hiking trail, know as Monroe Run. There is a rental picnic pavilion which can accommodate 100 people available by reservation.
