Jug Bay Wetlands Sanctuary
Nature preserve
👍👍 My favorite park in the DMV area. Beautiful ecosystems with an amazing abundance of wildlife. I’ve never seen so many ospreys in one spot. The park has a bunch of trails and they are well marked and maintained. The boardwalk through the marsh is a highlight every time I go.
The Patuxent River and w...

Downs Park Dog Beach
Dog park
👍👍 Our first visit to the park and we had so much fun! The fenced in beach was great. There were only four dogs there so it wasn't crowded. Our dog Finn (brown and white) loved playing with Tawny. We brought water for him of course but also brought a large bucket of water to rinse the sand and salt wa...

Porkey's BBQ
Barbecue restaurant
😐 It's now called "Porky's". Pretty good BBQ. I ordered the 6oz pulled pork plate. Comes with a piece of chicken, a scoop of pulled pork, a side, and a small cup of cole slaw.
I was disappointed when I opened my box and noticed that there was no bread, of any sort. Just a scoop of pulled pork. I feel...

Harvest Thyme Tavern
Restaurant
👍 Nice layout. It was very busy and staff were running around trying to keep up.
We got a bison burger, catch of the day sandwich and a cheese pizza.
Food tasted good, though the fish in the sandwich was a bit small and it needed some salt.
All in all we’ll probably try it again if we’re in the area...

Ketch 22
Restaurant
👍👍 We recently had a group lunch there on a Tuesday afternoon and had a great experience. They have both indoor and outdoor seating with two separate bars. Everyone enjoyed what they ordered. The whipped feta, potato hush puppies and crab dip were all delicious. The Brussel sprouts were very popular bu...

Downs Park Public Beach
Public beach
😠 This is a note that currently the beach is only open to Maryland residents. We arrived there after 40 mins drive but got no luck. Looks like a decent beach though.

Chesapeake Market & Deli
American restaurant
👍👍 I had the best breakfast sandwich here. I’m gluten-free and rarely find something so tasty - the breakfast BLT on GF bread was delicious and such a treat. The staff were friendly and accommodating of my special needs. Definitely a 5-star experience.

Thanksgiving Farm Winery
Winery
👍👍 Great scenery. Great atmosphere. Great people that work there. The wine was good. You must do the wine tasting first. Then pick a bottle that impressed you. You bring your own food if you want. These are not sweet wines. Although the dessert wine is sweet it wasn't bad. I'm not a sweet wine d...

Rose Haven Memorial Park
Park
😐 The water is suspect with black sludge on one of the small beaches and the litter is unacceptable for a 'memorial' park. The parking is very sparse. In general, it's better than a kick in the teeth, but after the Instagram pictures are taken, there's little reason to stay.

El Nene Latin Food
Latin American restaurant
👍👍 I've said it before and I'll say it again! This is my comfort food go too! Best hot fresh fried chips and guacamole made to order (I like a lot of onion and lime in mine)

Adventure Bound Camping Resorts - Washington DC
Campground
😠 We requested an overnight site so we would not have to unhook. Indicated to the woman on the phone we were towing a 32 foot camper. When we arrived we were given a back in site. When we got to site 125 it was literally big enough for a pop up. We had to finagle the camper sideways next to the ro...
