Barbara's Serenity

1 site ¡ Lodging13 acres ¡ Bensville, MD
Escape the chaos of everyday life and experience true relaxation at our hidden gem glamping site! The Indian Rail Trail, Charles County's most exciting recreational trail, is just a 7-minute drive from your tent. This paved, 13-mile-long, ten-foot-wide path is an excellent excursion for bikers of all ages, connecting the small town of Indian Head on the Potomac River to White Plains. The fairly level trail takes riders through mature forests, natural wetlands, and some farmland. During your stay, you can also take a 10-minute walk through the forest on our property to visit a serene creek. Your Signature campsite accommodates up to 6-10 campers. The basic booking includes space for 4 campers, with 2 sleeping on the Queen Bed in the platform safari tent and 2 sleeping in bags on the floor. The site also features a picnic table, fire pit, and Adirondack chairs where you can relax and stargaze at night. Atlantic Kayak Company is a 20-minute drive from the site, offering kayak rentals and guided expeditions. For families, Sky Zone Trampoline Park is a fun activity less than a 10-minute drive from the campsite. A Walmart is conveniently located about 10 minutes away for any supplies you may need, and local produce can be obtained on Wednesdays and Saturdays at the La Plata Farmer's Market (12 min drive) between April and November. The Road To Serenity: Our road is a quaint old country farm road made of grass and a few gravel patches here and there. It is a bit of a bumpy ride, so take it slow and easy as you make your way to our hidden getaway. There is one sharp left turn over a culvert and some dips and mild inclines, so low-sitting vehicles should definitely take it slow. The road narrows as you get closer to the site, but there are reflectors along the way to keep you on the right path. We highly recommend arriving before dark. Parking: Parking is on the grass meadow between the entrance to the meadow and the walking path to the campsite. Reflectors are in place to outline the parking area. Avoid driving beyond the parking area and down steep inclines in the meadow, as softer ground presents a risk for getting stuck. A gorilla wagon is available in the parking area to help transport your belongings to the campsite. Toilet and Shower Set-up: There is a privacy tent that contains a toilet seat over a bucket. Place a bag with absorbent materials in the bucket for your biological needs. A portable automatic shower providing hot water is also available. Pets: For the safety of your pets, ensure that they are treated for ticks prior to camping. Be sure to check for ticks before bringing pets into the tent. Noises and Sounds: This property is located in a rural community, and campers may occasionally experience common city noises such as airplanes flying overhead, distant traffic, or distant firearm shots. It is a great site for city dwellers who enjoy tranquility but not complete silence.

The best camping near Thomas Stone National Historic Site guide

Overview

About

Where can you peek into the home of a little-known father of American democracy? Welcome to the Thomas Stone Historic Site. Time stands still here, giving you the chance to experience rural life in the 1770s.

Before Thomas Stone signed the Declaration of Independence, he lived on this rural Maryland farm. Join a park ranger for a tour of the restored brick home. When the weather is nice, head out on your own to explore the grounds. Check out the 1800s-era stables, and look for the corn crib and tobacco barn. Pay your respects to Stone at the family cemetery. Nearby, look for four small stones—the resting place of the slaves who lived here.

If you're visiting in December, experience a colonial Christmas at the Stone house. Actors in period dress recreate historic holiday traditions in the glow of candlelight. On Independence Day, join rangers in celebrating the Declaration of Independence.

Nearby, you'll find camping options along the Potomac River. Smallwood State Park has cabins and campsites with electrical hookups. Bringing a kayak? Chapel Point State Park offers a primitive paddle-in campsite. At both parks, you can enjoy water sports, swimming, fishing, and hiking.
