Weekend Trip to Kitchen Girl Farm

Kitchen Girl farm was such a blast! We did the farm tour and our 2.5 year old loved the animals and all the farm equipment, especially the tractor :) Christy was a great host and answered our many questions about farming. The farm stand is so cute and has so many awesome goodies! Our produce box was great, had all the perfect ingredients for a fresh salad which we could make in the kitchen. The history of the barn is super cool and it was nice to have a functioning kitchen and bathroom available. Keep in mind this is not wilderness camping, you will be close to a road. But it's quiet, comfortable, and you're surrounded by nature. There's also great hiking close by which we enjoyed.

Weekend Trip to Duck Neck Campground

Duck Neck campground is a beautiful & well maintained campground thanks to Joe, Jessica and the rest of the staff. They were very helpful and friendly making our stay so much better. There are a lot of exciting things happening at duck neck and we look forward to being back in a few weeks. This is a must, I highly recommend

1 night at Redemption Springs Farm

Most campers enjoy the unique-things along the way. This place is one of those stops along the way. Ours was an in-and-out, overnight respite from the road. Directions were perfect, always a plus.. too often a surprise. Seth greeted us, as we texted him about 30mins out. Seth and his family run this unique farm 'Redemption Springs'. Google them, as they are doing 'it' old-school. Ya know, when food was genuine ... not corporate farmed. Just know you will meet many new creatures you'd expect. Aiden the Ram (yes, a RAM) was particularly memorable. He greeted us like a welcoming puppy.We purchased some goodies from their store while there. I wish they were local to us.... The site was too easy. We drove in and out, effortlessly. Strongly recommended!!

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

Randy gave good directions to find the spots. We stayed by the tractor shed since all we wanted was a base to go into Annapolis. The other sites had even better views and isolation, but we had what we wanted. It was very quiet and easy in/out.

Weekend Trip to Creekside Orchard

We had a great time at site #2 Bywater. It was a beautiful spot next to the creek. We nestled our tent into the bamboo alcove and had plenty of privacy. We will definitely stay here again!

Weekend Trip to Kitchen Girl Farm

The camp site was private and well prepped. Host was very responsive. Very close to many Gunpowder State Park trails for trout fishing and hiking.

1 night at 1850's Greenock Farm, plus 4WD site

We had such a wonderful time on the farm. Randy had everything set up-fire ring with plenty of wood to get a fire started. He was also very responsive, friendly and super helpful. We stayed one night- a great getaway! I will definitely come back again!

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

Perfect stop along our route around DC. Quiet evening in a lovely landscape. Our dogs enjoyed walking the fields. Randy reached out to confirm our arrival time and provide clear directions to the campsite. If we are in the area again and need a place to spend the night we would hope Randy had a composite available.

3 nights at Dale's Campground

It was a nice place for us to tent camp within close proximity to fighting and hunting opportunities.

Weekend Trip to Log Cabin Tranquil Inn

We had such a terrific time at Jill's place camping with the family this weekend. Jill was one of the best hosts we have ever had. The site had a beautiful view of the pond and trails and plenty quiet spots to sit and relax. Jill let the kids pick flowers and we loved having the opportunity to go inside her workshop where she makes the best cremes and hand made ceramic pots. We ended up buying a box full as gifts for friends and family. This site is highly recommended and we are definitely looking forward to staying here again.

Weekend Trip to Creekside Orchard

Beautiful little site with a great fire ring for cooking! Scott was very welcoming as well and I’m happy i chose to stay here.

Weekend Trip to Creekside Orchard

This was a beautiful place to camp! The site was right along side a lovely creek. Had great hammock-hanging trees. There were other groups camping at the nearby sites, but they were far enough away we couldn't see them and only barely heard them. I also want to mention the bathroom - that was the cleanest outdoor bathroom I've ever seen! We will definitely be back!

Weekend Trip to Creekside Orchard

We stayed at Site #4 and it was beautiful. It's right on a pretty stream and the site has a picnic table, a large fire ring, 2 large campfire benches & access to firewood. We brought our own water along. The outhouse is a bit of a hike from the site so next time we'll bring our outhouse tent and portable potty along. We saw our host, Scott, when we arrived and he was courteous and gracious. He even sent us a message when a totally unexpected thunderstorm was about to roll in. We got our stuff in the tent just in time. We will definitely recommend Creekside Orchard to our friends and visit again in the future.

Weekend Trip to Kitchen Girl Farm

The farm is nice and the area is peaceful. The kitchen is a plus – it made meal clean up easy. The campsite is near a road and a couple of homes but the road isn’t busy and the neighbors are very friendly. It’s a good place to stay if you would like to bike the NCR Trail. The White Hall NCR Trail Parking lot is just a few miles away. Buy the eggs!

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

Randy was a great host and very helpful with making sure we got to the site easily. The campsite was perfect for a little get away and you are there by yourself with privacy. The fire ring and log table were perfect and made things so much nicer. I will definitely be coming back to this spot.

2 nights at Creekside Orchard

We had a great time, very nice and clean site. Scott is very kind and we had a great time.

2 nights at Creekside Orchard

Don't want too many people to know, but this site is too good to keep to myself. Secluded yet only minutes away from civilization. Pristine land and creek, and really appreciated the hand carved benches and shelves, as well as the fire pit and cooking grate. The outhouse is super clean, and host even provides unlimited wood. What's not to like? Would absolutely recommend.

1 night at Creekside Orchard

We stayed one night at Site 2. Loved the privacy of the little bamboo grove where we pitched our tent. The pine firewood smelled wonderful and the creek was so alive with birds. In the evening we saw several bats and even a blue heron coming in to land for the night. Scott was a gracious and kind host, would definitely return.

1 night at Dale's Campground

Surrounded by absolutely beautiful farms. Quiet and rustic. Dale was very accommodating, setting us up to access to electric and water. We didn’t use the electric but did top off a jug with the water. Signage would have been helpful.

Weekend Trip to Kitchen Girl Farm

I loved camping at Kitchen Girl Farm. It is stunning out there. We stayed at the site next to the barn and used the grill and got to hang out by the blooming daffodils. In the morning we woke up and made coffee and went on a little walk around the property. It was so peaceful and the historic barn is so beautiful. Such a pleasant stay so close to Baltimore but you feel so tucked away in the country.

Welcome to creek-side camping on our picturesque 16 acre farm! Here are a few ground rules to help with your stay -PLEASE READ SO NONE OF THIS IS A SURPRISE-: -Dogs are permitted if they are friendly and are trained well enough to listen and stay at your site. Again, they must stay at your site unless walking with you on a leash. If your dog inflicts damage to the sites (digging holes, chewing up piles of sticks, chewing up toys to bits etc. please clean up after your dogs. We will provide shovels, rakes if you need!) - OVERLANDERS: You can bring your overland camper if you want, but you must park your vehicle in the parking spot across from your site at sites 1-3. It is a safety issue to block the entryway/exit lane. Site 4 is large enough to accommodate your vehicle and these rules do not apply there. -This is a place for relaxation and reflection by the creek. No loud groups, or partying allowed. If your neighbor can hear your music it is too loud. If your host can hear it, you will be asked to turn it down or off all together. -This is a pack it in, pack it out site. This includes food waste, dog waste, and any garbage produced. Please respect that :) DO NOT ATTEMPT TO BURN ANY WASTE IN THE FIRE RING BEFORE CHECKING OUT. -There is NO FISHING, kayaking or boating. Go for a swim and float, no prob! But please float in the vicinity of your camp, so as not to disturb other campers. - Please do not invite visitors to your campsite. This is an insurance issue, no exceptions. If you want friends and family to experience our beautiful spot, please have them sign up and book a site, wouldn't that be more fun anyway!? People coming to our land who are not booked at a site will immediately be shown off the property. -Due to virtually every booking asking for earlier arrival and later departure times, we are strictly adhering to the posted check in and check out times. You can enjoy the following on our sites: - Free, unlimited wood for your campfires. Each site comes with a fire ring. - Seating arrangements (picnic table, wrought iron loungers and chairs and wood benches). - Charming outhouse situated over a septic certified holding tank with toilet paper and hand sanitizer.
