Stories from the community

1 night at Basecamp Frederick

Great spot on our way back from WV! Close access to 70 and downtown Frederick. The spot was super level and had a nice stream to wade in to cool off. I arrived mid afternoon and the spot had basically full shade all evening and the gravel parking space was well-graded. It’s on a road that was fairly busy on a Sunday with hikers and Mt bikers driving to trailheads down the street, but this meant we were in prime location to walk down to the trails from the site. Traffic died off significantly once it got dark and was super peaceful for sleeping. Will definitely be back soon!

1 night at Riverside Farm by the Monocacy

Great camping spot, easy river access. No complaints or problems!

Weekend Trip to 1850's Greenock Farm, plus 4WD site

Randy is ace—very responsive and on top of things. The 4x4 site was not fancy, but it is perfect if all you are looking for is a mowed spot in the woods with a fire ring (perfect for my needs). The road to get to the spot is not as tight as it looks, just use common sense and take it easy. All in all, perfect.

Weekend Trip to Hawkwood Farm

We had a great time and had so much space to ourselves. We especially enjoyed the hiking paths on the farm that lead into the wooded areas. I hope to be back again.

Weekend Trip to HUNTER'S PARK BY WASHINGTON, DC

Keith was amazing host. We had a group of 20 high school students come out for a weekend camping. The students got to pet and feed the horses. The were able to pick eggs from the chicken and peacock coups. Its was really a great weekend

Weekend Trip to Little Goat Farm at the Lake

Bob and Susanne are the nicest people. So warm and welcoming. They were very generous with their time. The animals on the farm are very fun and incredible experiences for kids. The property is right up on the beautiful lake manassas. Just a great time and memories. Thank you Bob and Susanne !

Weekend Trip to Riverside Farm by the Monocacy

Cool spot close to Frederick with a great opportunity to commune with the land, wildlife, and water. We really appreciated the privacy of the sites. My first HipCamp trip. Set the bar high for future trips.

Weekend Trip to Bald Eagle Farm on the Patuxent

this was a serene experience, five stars. It was a very quiet place extremely peaceful with 10 out of 10 recommend and will definitely visit again.

Weekend Trip to Riverside Farm by the Monocacy

We had the most perfect time at Riverside Farm. It was our boys first time camping (3&5) and site 2 was perfect for us and our dog. The creek is safe for young children to play and cool off in and right next to your site. Our car needed a jump our last morning and the owner promptly and kindly came to our rescue. We will definitely be back to this site

4 nights at Harbor View Circle RV Site

First off, Judi and Berry are wonderful hosts who have many years of RV’ing experience. They made us feel right at home. And then, there is the view from the RV. We watched the swan family (mom, dad and 2 cygnets), the mallard duck family and when they weren’t around, the great blue heron came to visit. Of course, you can also walk down to the dock, enjoy a cold brew and watch the sunset. We will be back :-) Family

3 nights at Happy Heart Highlands and Alpacas

We loved it here and would highly recommend Kim's hipcamp location and Alpaca/Cow tour to anyone. The pond stay was lovely (though be aware, you'll hear lots of animal creatures.) And it was close by to Harper's Ferry for tubing, Sherpherdstown for all the good eats, and Antietam for a bit of history. It was the perfect outdoor weekend. We'll be back!

Weekend Trip to Riverside Farm by the Monocacy

We loved this spot! Definitely will be coming back again. Away from the public and extremely private. Loved the road back to the camp sites, crossing the creek was fun.

Weekend Trip to Bald Eagle Farm on the Patuxent

Wonderful host and site! Someone else was at our site when we showed up and Yates was responsive and made sure we had another equally as lovely site to use. He also brought us some firewood for the inconvenience. Thanks, Yates!

1 night at Bald Eagle Farm on the Patuxent

We stayed at site #3 “River”. Beautiful private shaded spot perched in the forest overlooking the marsh and river. Riparian wonderland filled with songbirds, hummingbirds, and frogs. Son delighted in seeing a pair of bald eagles soaring high above the campsite. Directions were clear and host responsive when we arrived. Just make sure and bring your own firewood, since none was available upon our arrival, and the woods had a limited supply to scavenge.

1 night at Riverside Farm by the Monocacy

I’ve stayed at sites 5 and 6. Both were terrific. Site 6 is smaller but other than that, they’re pretty comparable. Will definitely be back again!

1 night at Redemption Springs Farm

Seth and Stephanie have created a beautiful haven. We really enjoyed our stay. We will be back. Super nice people. Their staff team member Damien was also quite kind and very helpful. We purchased eggs, spices and meat that look amazing ….. thank you to them both. Btw. Slept soooo well!! 🥰

1 night at Bald Eagle Farm on the Patuxent

Really nice private sites. Our dogs loved it. We were just there for one night and it was rainy so we didn’t get to experience everything the land had to offer, but check-in was easy, the sites were easy to find and the land was beautiful. Thank you for hosting us!

Weekend Trip to Hawkwood Farm

Angela and Erin’s property is beautiful. We stayed at their Meadow site. There was no one anywhere near us - just clear views of beautiful meadows. And great mowed paths to take a walk and wander the property. Angela and Erin were so responsive and helpful. Our family had a wonderful trip and highly recommend this location.

Weekend Trip to Rohrersville Roost

Camp was very private and relaxing. The goats came and said hello and then carried on grazing. There was some poison ivy growing up by the camp site but easily avoided. Wes had water and firewood set out with a fire pre-built in the ring ready to light.

Weekend Trip to Happy Heart Highlands and Alpacas

Lovely, peaceful location! Fishing the pond was definitely a plus!

Riverside Farm by the Monocacy

7 sites · Tents30 acres · Walkersville, MD

PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE DESCRIPTION BEFORE BOOKING... 30 acres of mostly reclaimed farmland. We are located where Glade Creek flows into the Monocacy River. There is evidence of civil war activity here and the old river ford is on our property. Creek and river access make this a beautiful, peaceful place that is full of life. The energy here is overwhelmingly positive. Our house was built in the 1850s and the neighboring farm was built shortly after—lots of history on this property. You will be able to camp right next to Glade Creek which is always cool, clean, and refreshing. Our goal with opening the land up for camping is to eventually phase out commercial farming on the property and transform it into woodlands using native plants and trees. We've already started by planting hundreds of native tree species along the creek and river banks. Each camper gets us closer to that goal! Thanks for your support! See our map in the gallery for a complete overview of our property including site locations. Please note that you will need to drive back through the crossing to access the portable toilet. Property occasionally floods. Zero flash floods, just slow river overflow. Check this site for flooding info. https://water.weather.gov/ahps2/hydrograph.php?gage=fdkm2 Flood stage is 15 feet.

Happy Heart Highlands and Alpacas

3 sites · RVs, Tents160 acres · Rohrersville, MD

Peaceful camping with privacy on a 160-acre historic farm! Minutes from Harpers Ferry, Antietam Battlefield and the C&O Canal to name a few. We are within an hour of Gettysburg and within an hour and a half of DC if you're planning a day trip. We have a prime central location with close access to so many things to do. This beautiful property is nestled in a valley between Elk Ridge and South Mountain with incredible sunrises, sunsets and starlit night skies. Walk out to the fishing pond, or follow the trails around the pastures to meet the cattle grazing. We have Scottish Highlands and Black Angus grazing as well as Alpacas. We also have beautiful peacocks on the property. We are a working farm so expect to see tractors and you may even see us baling hay or tending to the cattle. You may smell some animal smells which we work at keeping to a minimum but again, we are a working farm. It’s a true farm experience. Also, please keep in mind that during warm weather you may encounter some bugs. Gnats and flies are always a possibility and of course at times they can be worse than others. That can always be a possibility when camping or being outdoors. Bring bug spray, citronella and anything else to help with insects. If you stay by the pond you may hear frogs which personally I enjoy hearing but some may not. Consider bringing a generator and run a fan if you think the sound might bother you or some way to block sounds. We enjoy talking to our guests so feel free to stop us for a chat. At the RV sites you have 30 and 50 amp power as well as water. All the water spickets are potable and drinkable.
