Traveling the Chesapeake Country National Scenic Byway by RV ...

Marylands Eastern Shore, on the Delmarva Peninsula between Chesapeake Bay and Delaware Bay, is a world apart from the busy streets of DC and Baltimore. Indulge yourself in this regions rich beauty with an RV trip along the Chesapeake Country National Scenic Byway. Here are just a few of the places youll want to visit as you travel this picturesque route.

Chesapeake Country RV Itinerary Start your journey in Chesapeake City, Maryland, two hours from Sterling, VA and just an hour round the Bay from Baltimore. Save time to visit the Chesapeake & Delaware Canal Museum to learn how this fourteen-mile waterway between the Delaware River and Chesapeake Bay transformed the entire region. Youll also want to visit South Chesapeake City, where vintage homes and charming waterfront shops line the streets.

Then its across the Chesapeake City Bridge on MD Hwy 213. Youll travel south through rolling hills and farmland to the village of Cayots, MD and then on to the Bohemia River Bridge at Hack Point. If youre hoping to canoe or kayak on your trip, the marina here is a good place to put in.

When youre ready to move on, swing southeast on the Byway (MD 213) to Cecilton, where gorgeous manor homes dot the countryside and the rich Eastern Shore farmland provides wonderful scenery. Traveling south, your route will take you across the Sassafras River to the historic town of Galena, MD. Once the site of a silver mine, this 18th century village will charm RV travelers with tree-lined streets and historic structures.

Youll swing back east at Galena on the Byway. Feel free to slow down and enjoy the beauty and history of rural Maryland by following the Kennedyville Road north to the Kent County Museum. When you return to the Byway and head south youll soon encounter Chestertown, where Duck Neck Campground, on the shores of the Chester River, offers the chance to go crabbing, swimming, or hiking, as well as sleep in RV comfort. And thats not all Chestertown has to offer! A colonial village filled with plenty of activities for every interest, youll want to spend at least a day here.

Now its time to make a choice! Go east on the Chesapeake Country National Scenic Byway to Church Hill, home to St. Lukes Episcopal Church, built in 1732. Or you can follow the left leg of the byway (MD-20) to Chesapeake Bay at Rock Hall.
