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. Please be aware that some may not have great cell service and as noted in the amenity section we do not have WiFi at any of the sites yet. It is something we are looking into for the future. If something is urgent you should be able to pick up WiFi near the tenant house and a password can be provided for you to try.

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.

4 nights at Harpers Ferry Cabin W/ Steam Shower
Really enjoyed the cabin in Harper's Ferry. It was peaceful and quiet in the area. The cabin itself was clean, neat, and comfortable. It was lovely sitting in the sun room and reading a book in the comfy chair. My husband walked up to the Appalachian Trail from the cabin! It is a short drive to Harper's Ferry and other areas. I would recommend that anyone to stay here, families, couples, and grandparents. It was lovely.

Weekend Trip to Casita Of LOVE (Panhandle WV)
This place is magical. Pablo and Lorena are communicative, kind and generous hosts. You can feel the love they poured into this beautiful glass house. There are views of the surrounding nature from absolutely every angle, including above you! It's private and perfectly equipped with all the luxuries you need while still maintaining the connection to nature that you would get from camping. Hot outdoor shower and very clean outhouse are a bonus, for sure. I enjoyed cooking my meals outside and just sitting by the fire and reading after a long day of hiking in the nearby Cacapon State Park.
Although I didn't have the opportunity to go, there are also kayaks available for a nearby trip down the river.

I wanted to find a secluded spot to rest & spend some time in nature with my dog Olivia. This cabin was lovely with a large rocky backyard that my dog loved climbing around. The location was ideal with lots of trails & parks within a short drive. The cabin has lots of big windows that help take in the excellent view of the mountains. We spent time on the deck and saw deer crossing through the backyard, and later we saw more crossing the front yard. It was very quiet and peaceful. The shower was awesome too. I used the steam shower a few times but the shower alone is really nice & great for relaxing after a hike on a chilly day! We would love to come back to see the area in the warmer months. Thank you Brigid & TJ!

The cabin was amazing and had everything and more! There were games, kitchen supplies, grill with a stove, and they provide firewood. Since we went in October we had a heated blanket and there was a space heater in there as well. Berkeley Springs is close by and they have nice restaurants and a farmers market on Sundays. Definitely will be going back!

Kara’s property is a lovely getaway in the woods. It has all the amenities you may need, and a little extra-like the very nice hot shower. If you are down at the campsite on the river, you have river views all the time, if you are up at the top, you can simply walk down and get a great view. Would stay again!
The glamping option was very nice for when it started to pour down rain. We hung out, played games and still had a great time!
Kara‘s instructions were clear and very helpful.

Weekend Trip to Casita Of LOVE (Panhandle WV)
I had such a wonderful stay at Pablo & Lorena’s ‘Invisible Love House’. The property was perfectly secluded, offering a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature and wildlife.
The outdoor shower, sink, & bathroom made the experience even that much more convenient & comfortable. There were so many other thoughtful touches inside the cabin (games, books, cookware, you name it). With the nights’ getting a little chillier, they had a heated blanket already ready.
Despite the secluded feel, the location was incredibly convenient, just a short drive to both Berkeley Springs and Cacapon State Park.
Pablo & Lorena were so friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. Would definitely stay again!
