Stories from the community

Flat mowed area for your tent or RV. Electric and water available for hook up. Great place for a party.

4 nights at About Tyme Farm

Pamela has an absolutely beautiful farm which has wonderful accommodations. Pamela is a wonderful person to work with and very welcoming. She made us feel like it was our home. We loved her property. It was very accessible to the surrounding areas.

2 nights at Cross Creek Farm

Amazing experience I would definitely stay there again. I highly recommend Rodney‘s land.

4 nights at Cross Creek Farm

Everything went well for my small family and dogs. I loved staying on Rodney’s land and we would certainly stay there again. He is informative, helpful and just a great trustworthy man. I would recommend him again and again.

2 nights at Harpers Ferry Cabin W/ Steam Shower

We never used the steam shower but the house was cozy, TVs in the bedroom with lots of options for kids. Bedding was soft and comfy. Loved the back porch overlooking the hill where you can watch a beautiful sunset. Fire pit was a hit as well! We tried to pitch a tent for the kids but the house is on a pretty sloped hill so it didn’t turn out as planned.

We had such a wonderful stay at The Agape! The property is quiet, peaceful, and beautifully maintained. Shawna, the host, was incredibly gracious—she even laid out firewood for us ahead of our arrival, which was such a thoughtful touch. The site was spotless and easy to settle into. The sunrises and sunsets here are absolutely stunning, with plenty of serene coastline to explore. It’s the kind of place that naturally invites you to slow down and enjoy the moment. While there is a small shooting range nearby, it was sporadic and didn’t last long—maybe about an hour—and it wasn’t loud enough to disturb the birds or the calm vibe of the property. I’m already planning to return in the fall—those views will be breathtaking with the foliage. Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking to unplug and soak in some peace and beauty.

Weekend Trip to Harpers Ferry Cabin W/ Steam Shower

Perfect little getaway in the mountains with a beautiful view 🏞️🐾🪵

14 nights at Cross Creek Farm

Rodney was an amazing and accommodating host. He went above and beyond to help us get settled and troubleshoot our RV issues. Had lots of fire wood ready and available for use. Can't say enough good things about the man and what he did for us. He has a beautiful farm with some amazing working dogs. If you want somewhere chill to stay then this is the place to go. Super friendly and a great area to stay.

29 nights at Cross Creek Farm

This place is GREAT! Rodney is always so helpful. We love it here! We highly recommend and will always come back when we need RV hook ups in Fredericksburg, VA. This time we visited, we didn’t get to interact with the animals sadly since it was freezing and I don’t like the cold, we will try again during another reservation. This was a cozy snowy visit. Oh I did say hi to the doggies in and out though.

Weekend Trip to Cross Creek Farm

Rodney is a good host. This was our very first trip to Florida. It's a good challenge to back up to this place with my 28-foot trailer, but luckily I'm used to it.

1 night at Cross Creek Farm

We were on the road on the coldest night of the year (at least in our area) and were planning on boondocking overnight at Cracker Barrel. We've never tried out boondocking with the propane heat before, and I was worried that the single battery we have might not get us through the night with the furnace blower, plus a CPAP machine. At the last minute, I found this property, and after messaging a few questions back and forth with Rodney, I knew this place was the solution we were looking for! Rodney stayed up to make sure we arrived and got settled (we didn't officially book until after 9, and didn't arrive until nearly 10pm). I will definitely remember this place, and will likely be dropping through again, as we travel through this area fairly often heading to see family. Rodney is an excellent host, and I feel that he definitely went above and beyond to help these weary and cold travelers out!

1 night at Cross Creek Farm

Rodney is a great host. It was our first-ever trip. We were traveling to Florida from NY with 3 kids and a dog. Our backing skills are awful since we are newbies. He helped us to park. We made one huge newbie mistake. Which was not taking our 30amp cord. He let us borrow his cord and gave us the info on where to get one. Kids loved the farm. We are planning to stay again on our way back home.

Weekend Trip to Cross Creek Farm

Had a great time staying at the Tiny Home. Cozy but also had enough space for 2 people. Great for a little retreat, would come back. The eggs were delicious and Rodney is very kind.

Weekend Trip to About Tyme Farm

Pam was an excellent host. The free firewood was a real bonus! This site is surrounded by farmland and since all the fields had been harvested, there was a lot of open area to explore. We flew our kite with no worries of getting it caught in a tree. The dogs had a great time running around.

Weekend Trip to Cross Creek Farm

Rodney and the animals were terrific hosts, and the tiny house was the perfect cozy weekend getaway.

10 nights at Cross Creek Farm

Rodney was an amazing host and I would absolutely stay here again and plan on it as well.. he went above and beyond for us for multiple things. My kids loved the animals especially George, Kyle and Larry the goat. The dogs are amazing and huge. We had some of the chickens eggs and they were great as well. The mulchy site is private on his 5 acre land a little corner of your own and if you don't want to be bothered you won't. He provided a toilet, shower and firewood. My wife got to catch a couple chickens just to prove she could. It was truly an unforgettable experience the night sky is very clear and very little light pollution we got to see a comet and the northern lights while we were there truly amazing!

About Tyme Farm

2 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents26 acres · Westminster, MD

About Tyme Farm is a 26 plus acre privately owned farm used for crops such as corn, soy beans and sunflowers. The property includes a 150+ year old stone farm house, large historic barn on the barn quilt tour in Carroll County, renovated camping cabin for those not into rough camping, fields, streams , woods for hiking, plenty of wild life and lots of quiet. The farm is surrounded by other farms in the agricultural preservation program yet you are only 5 miles from stores, movies, antiques and other aspects of civilization or entertainment if needed. Enjoy watching the deer come out of the woods and meander along the stream and fields at dusk and return in the morning. Electric, water, fire pit and a Port a Pot is available even for rough campers. Pets welcome but must be on a leash or exercise pen or with their owners in some way while here for their safety. There is a large fenced yard for dogs that just have to run if needed. Glamorous camping with a furnished heated/cooled cabin is available for rent by the night for those who do not have camping equipment or do not want to rough it. For those that have been camping before and have all the equipment there is plenty of room for a tent or camper near the buildings or by the stream or woods. For RV owners there is 50amp electric service in the barn. You will need an RV extension cord to access it. I have a 100 ft RV ext. cord but it can be farther than that depending on where you park. Bring one of your own to be sure. It is a farm and not set up like an RV park with numerous outlets.

Cabins in Washington, DC guide

Overview

Sightseeing in the nation’s capital doesn’t have to mean checking into a pricey hotel or staying right in the heart of the city—there are also great options for cabin rentals within a short drive of Washington, DC. Urban campers will need to leave the D.C. area—there’s no camping in the capital itself—but hop over to Maryland, Virginia, or West Virginia, and you’ll find a selection of camper cabins and private vacation rentals to choose from. Perhaps rent a cozy log cabin in the woods, a fully furnished family cottage, or a lakeside cabin with a fire pit where you can relax after a busy day exploring Capitol Hill and the Smithsonian Museums. The closest campground to DC lies on the Maryland side, where you’ll find cabins and glamping pods, and there are also cabins available at Shenandoah River State Park, Shenandoah National Park, and Gambrill State Park.
