• Camping is the perfect way to enjoy the great outdoors in Maryland.elderly woman in camping image by GeoM from Fotolia.com
  
  Maryland is one of the smallest states in the U.S., located on the eastern coast of North America. With pine groves in the mountains to the west and low marshlands in the east, the state's diverse terrain makes it popular with outdoor enthusiasts. Visitors can watch the Orioles play professional baseball in downtown Baltimore, dine on gourmet seafood right on the beach in Ocean City or explore the Thomas Stone National Historic Site in Port Tobacco.
