Bald Eagle Farm on the Patuxent

3 sites · RVs, Tents300 acres · Brandywine, MD
Bald Eagle Farm has been in our family for three generations. Today two generations still live and operate the family farm. We once raised tobacco and cattle and have now converted to growing hay and grain. My family wants to share the views and the experience of sleeping under the stars on our beautiful secluded farm. You will hear nothing but the wind, birds, frogs and insects while you doze off or enjoy the dark sky and camp fire. We live on the farm so we are always here to help you out if needed. We can provide you with the firewood you need and water from our deep well. We are here to make your stay as comfortable as possible and provide a restroom in the case of an "emergency". Recently named a finalist for 'Best Hipcamp in Maryland'! Thank you SO much for your support and we look forward to hosting you in 2021.There are three campsites on the farm, one by the pond and two by the river. Very secluded and all sites include a bundle of firewood, firepit, log bench, and a picnic table that seats 3-4 people.The original river campsite has been moved to a more remote spot so that all campers can access the pond and pier to the river.Farm encompasses nearly 300 acres on the Patuxent River. There is access to the river on high tide via our private creek (must bring your own canoe or kayak) and 150 acres of marshland. Over 100 acres of woods to walk through and a pond for wildlife watching. Local Spots to Visit:Canoe/Kayak/Fishing: Clyde Watson Boating Area, Patuxent River Park, Patuxent Wetlands Park, Cedar Haven Fishing AreaHiking: Jug Bay Wetlands Sanctuary, Patuxent River Park, Cedarville State Forest, Rosaryville State Park, Merkle Wildlife Sanctuary, Maxwell Hall ParkPlaces to Eat: Hardesty Haven Cafe, Moreland's Produce & Market, (Highly recommend packing well, we are approx. 20 minutes from a grocery store)Places to Drink: Robin Hill Farm & Vineyards, Romano Vineyard & Winery, Janemark Winery & Vineyard

Stegan Farm

1 site · RV, Tent18 acres · Highland, MD
Our property is in Howard County, Maryland, and is super convenient to I-95, I-295, Hwy 32, and I-70. It is centrally located between Washington, DC, Baltimore, MD, and Frederick, MD. We are located right off of Highway 32 down a long, private paved driveway. What makes our property unique is all that it has to offer--it's an 18 acre oasis with mature woods protected by a conservation deed, lightly rolling hills, beautiful fields, wetlands, and a pond. It is not surprising to see deer and our local great blue heron on the property throughout the day. There is also a fire pit, which you are free to use. Firewood is free.

This is the definition of Glamping and certainly the finest around the area. The property is around 100 acres, not far from the Patuxent River and has been in our family for nearly 80 years, we are the fourth generation to live on the farm. There is only one luxurious site available and you have complete privacy as the opening in the forest that the camp sits in is surrounded by forest. A 10x20 deck holds a 10x12 canvas tent with a luxurious queen sized bed, all linens included. The bed is flanked by vintage nightstands and lamps. You have 2 USB outlets to keep your devices charged and a chandelier to brighten things up in the evening. A bar cabinet including a wine opener and ice bucket sits across for a comfortable vintage velvet chair and ottoman with a brass tray. A storage bench sits at the foot of the bed. Outside you have a well equipped kitchen including a coffee percolator, pots and an iron frying pan. A small sink has cold running water to wash up and a separate bottled drinking water dispenser. The 2 burner stove is complete with an oven. A set of enameled tin dishes, mugs, reusable plastic glasses and flatware are stored in the kitchen cupboard. Eat at a glass topped table for 2 on the deck. Your campfire pit has a grill and you can relax by the fire and watch the stars in the 2 lounging Adirondack chairs. Just steps away from your deck is an out of this world outhouse with hot and cold running water at the sink, vintage lighting and mirror, towel racks with fluffy white linens, shampoo, conditioner and body lotion. A dryflush toilet, almost like your toilet at home is the centerpiece. Attached to the bathroom and just at the edge of the forest, is an incredible outdoor rain shower with hot and cold water. You are surrounded by acres and acres of old forest and a creek or two to explore. There are maintained walking trails, most reserved for you to enjoy, all around the property.

Healing Land by the Bay

1 site · Tent1 acre · Shady Side, MD
This is land our family land purchased to build a healing retreat center. We have had multiple family members pass from cancer and many currently suffer from hypertension, high blood pressure, & high cholesterol. We believe nature, water, fishing and peace of mind are the keys to unlock the healing we have already been given, but may be too busy to receive. This is a place to slow down. One day we will raise our goal to build the healing retreat center but while we are raising funds we want to share this land blessing with other families. We camped here and fish all day and fellowship and hope you create memories here. This land has been prayed over and we hope it brings your family peace and healing during your stay.
