With 14,753 wooded acres in the Southwestern section of Worcester County, between Snow Hill and Pocomoke City, the state forest is famous for its stand of loblolly pine and for its cypress swamps which border the Pocomoke River. Pocomoke means black water, and there is good fishing in these waters. The river originates in the Great Cypress Swamp in Delaware and flows southwesterly 45 miles to the Chesapeake Bay.

The park's combination of swamp and upland offers a great variety of plant and animal life, including white dogwood and pink laurel in the spring, river otters and bald eagles, and over 50 species of fish.

The good: very peaceful at night, lots of trails to walk on, not a ton of bugs.

The bad: no water at sites, dump station is a little tricky to get into when entering the park.

The ugly: you have to pay a stupid $6 reservation fee even if you just show up. Rates posted on site are higher than online. Camp host was barely there.

Peaceful secluded no-frills park
Milburn Landing Campground at Pocomoke River State Park is a very nice campground right on the waters edge of the beautiful Pocomoke River. Our Campground was right by the river, and only a short walk to a small kayak launch area.
The campground is spaciously distributed amongst a forest of Huge pine trees providing lots of shade and privacy. I took my kayak out on the Pocomoke River and thououghly enjoyed exploring the unique Bald Cypress swamp biome. Also had fun exploring the Bicycle trails. The Algonquin Trail starts at the park and offers many miles of walking or mountain biking. The Bald Cypress trail is not very bicycle friendly.

Not very much to do here but the area was very beautiful. My husband was hoping the nature trails from his youth were still maintained but they were closed off.
