Visit a Homesteading Haven. Our family farm is an inclusive space. The garden supplies more than half of our vegetables and our favorite berries, and our flock of chickens supply eggs and an early morning wake-up call for our campers! There are no GMO's, pesticides, herbicides or fungicides used on our farm. We are 3 miles from Terra Alta, a rural town with a locally owned restaurant and a local craft beer brewery featuring an exciting rotating cast of food trucks. We are 20 minutes from Swallow Falls State Park (MD), featuring Muddy Creek Falls, awesome river swimming and gorgeous hiking in an old growth Hemlock forest. We are also 20 minutes from Herrington Manor State Park (MD) were there is a lake for swimming, fishing, and canoeing. Cathedral State Park (WV) a virgin Hemlock forest with 400 year old trees about 45 minutes away. Deep Creek Lake (MD) is 40 minutes away and offers motor boat rentals, Golf, Skiing and swimming. There is skiing, hiking, biking, tubing, rafting, kayaking and much more to explore within 40 minutes of our farm. The best white water rafting on the east coast is 20-40 minutes away.

This a traditional site in the heart of the farm next to a small pond with picnic table and fire pit. It is a sloping wooded space, with flat spots to comfortably accommodate 2-3 tents. There are multiple trees perfect for hanging your hammock in the shade. The compost toilet, about 50ft away, is shared with another campsite. Parking is on a gravel lane adjacent to the site. Potable water (from a frost-free hydrant) is available about 80ft from the site. The pond is only for viewing, no swimming or fishing, please. We have nesting birds occasionally and we expect their habitat to be respected.

    Camping at Jennifer's land is a serene experience with its beautiful views of pastures and wildflowers. The farm is family-friendly, and Bishop, the resident dog, adds a layer of warmth and security to the stay. While the tranquil environment is occasionally interrupted by distant ATV sounds or Bishop's protective barking, guests find the overall vibe pleasant and welcoming. The hosts are friendly and provide conveniences like a compost toilet and wood for sale, ensuring a comfortable camping experience.

    We loved camping on Jennifer's land. Their property was simply amazing and a dream spot to stay. The view, the drive and location are top notch. If we are camping in the area again we will be stopping by. I can not forget to mention the goodest boy Bishop. You must check in with him first then Jennifer. He is such a great dog you will hear him at night from time to time but that is simple letting you know he's doing his job, protecting you and the property. Thank you Jennifer and your family for your hospitality.

    Jennifer’s farm was a tranquil place to stay with beautiful views of cows in the pastures and wildflowers. Having the outhouse was convenient for rural camping. Their sweet farm dog visited us from time to time. Once in awhile you’d hear neighboring ATVs and the dog barking but overall, pretty pleasant.

    Tent camped at Possum Farm Camp with pets, Oct 2025.

    The camp site was beautiful and spacious for four people. The compost toilet was in good condition although the temps were too cold for the showers. Jennifer had plenty of wood for purchase and we had a great time with the farm dog, although he can be nosey at night and is a good reminder to pack up all food and food items well and securely when camping. We would definitely return!
