RV parking published

Terminals & layout

One terminal at 2001 East McComas Street, just off I-95 south of downtown, with secured long-term lots within walking distance of the ship — no shuttle needed.

Published rates are $25 per night for cars and SUVs; RVs pay $40 per night under 30 feet and $50 over 30 feet. No reservations are taken or needed — pay by card on arrival, cashless.

The RV answer

Baltimore publishes a two-tier RV answer — $40 a night under 30 feet, $50 over — walk-up, no reservation system, a few hundred yards from the gangway. One of the simplest big-rig embarkations on the East Coast.

The shoulder days

The cruise is the middle. The rig owns the edges.

Baltimore built its cruise business on people who refuse to fly, which makes it the natural RV port: published rig rates, lots beside the terminal, interstate to the door. The Chesapeake does the rest — Blackwater's eagle marshes and the Assateague ponies fill the day before, and Harpers Ferry's river-gap history is an easy detour on the drive home.

Before the ship

Eastern Shore warm-up

Cross the Bay Bridge the day before and give the Delmarva marshes a slow loop — the terminal is an easy morning's drive back.

After the ship

Ponies before the drive home

Disembark, then point the rig at the barrier island — Assateague's wild herd and open beach are the antidote to a ship's buffet deck.
