More about this place:

Camel’s Den Cave is one of the few caves that you can easily visit in Maryland. Although it doesn’t take you underground, the natural opening is big enough for a human to walk in, take shelter and explore. It does fit the dictionary definition of a cave.

The cave is located in the Daniels Area of Patapsco Valley State Park and sits along the Old Main Line to Daniels Loop Trail. Even though you don’t need to hike the entire trail to get here. As mentioned in my insta post, it’s about a ten minute walk from the parking lot on Daniels Rd. This cave is perfect for quick day trips. You can pair it with a visit to Daniels Dam which is right there. Check out this post about our visit to Daniels Dam.

Moreover, on your walk to the cave you will pass old ruins, encouraging more exploration and history conversations.
