About Rocky Gap State Park

3,000 acres surround Lake Habeeb and Evitts Mountain, forming the core of this park's land. Water recreation, camping facilities, and hiking trails are available across the grounds, and a privately run casino resort operates on the property alongside the state-managed land. The Maryland Department of Natural Resources oversees the park itself, while the casino is run by a separate operator.

Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
