Camp Round Meadow

Camp Round Meadow is a group camping facility in Frederick County with four dormitories that can sleep up to 120 people. The property includes a dining hall, full kitchen facilities, and common areas spread across the forested grounds.

The site began as a Civilian Conservation Corps camp from 1939 to 1941, later transforming into the nation's first Job Corps Center starting in 1965. This shift established it as a major training facility for young workers across the country.

The camp provides educational programs focused on environmental conservation and natural resource management within Catoctin Mountain Park's protected forest landscape.

Each dormitory contains around 30 beds along with bathrooms, water stations, and electrical outlets throughout. Arrival is typically in the afternoon, and staff at the main office can help orient you to the property.

The grounds feature a large gymnasium with an indoor basketball court that often goes unnoticed when people focus on the sleeping facilities. This recreation space sits surrounded by the forest landscape of the park.
