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.
We HIGHLY recommend a vehicle with AWD or at least a decent ground clearance.

Evensong Farm is a preserved historic farm adjacent to the Antietam National Battlefield. We have set up two, almost identical, sites on a 60 acre parcel of our farm which is very private for our campers, but allows access to the lovely Antietam Creek. The sites themselves are about 500 feet apart so, while they maintain privacy when booked by different parties, can also be booked together for group stays.
We have been hosting campers at our "glampsites" since 2021. Each off-grid site has a 12x16 platform with a 10x12 canvas side wall tent, a firepit and chairs, a cooking area with a grill and sink for washing up, a picnic table and benches, and a private bathroom with a composting toilet and solar shower bag. The main tent is set up for 2 people, although 4 is possible. The sites can handle a max of 12 people, with the use of additional tents (BYO or you can set up some of ours). We provide an electronic camp guide to all of our campers that include our recommendations for things to do in the area, as well as camping tips and other handy info.
Inside the tent you will find a queen size bed, side tables, and a cafe table and chair set. We have put down foam flooring and a carpet for your comfort and provide numerous battery powered lights, lanterns and fans. In cold months we can add a propane heater to keep the chill away. We also have some games, maps of the area, decks of cards, and a fire extinguisher.
Stepping outside the tent you'll find our long rainfly creates a covered porch where you can relax on our provided chairs. There are additional chairs around the firepit and each firepit has a cooking grate so you can cook over your campfire. We provide one bundle of firewood (including kindling) per night with your reservation. We do sell additional firewood, if needed.
In our kitchen area you will find a picnic table and chairs, 5 gallons of drinking water, a clean up table that includes a foot operated pump sink with an additional 5 gallons of washing water, a grill (one site has propane and the other has charcoal), trash and recycling bins, grill tools, lighters, plus dish and hand soaps.
Our farm is a mile and a half from the town of Sharpsburg, MD, home of the Antietam National Battlefield (and Nutter's Ice Cream Shop). You will find the Appalachian Trail to our east and the C&O Canal to our west (10 minute drive to either).

I loved tent camping on Greg’s land!
I was on one of the hilltop sights and the views were so serene. The site was pretty private which was perfect for my 2 dogs and I! I felt safe my entire stay.

Great camping spot with an amazing setup for outdoor activities. The access to the water was perfect for fishing and kayaking, making it easy to enjoy the whole day outside. One of the highlights was the cavern only about a 1.2 mile walk away — definitely worth the short hike. Peaceful, scenic, and a great place to relax and explore. We’ll definitely be back!

Beautiful location!
Greg was easy to communicate with & went above & beyond making his sites comfy & shaded.
Only stayed one night but we were able to take a great walk along the canal path that is down the hill before you get to river.
We were saying how we’d like to stay longer next time while exiting & almost didn’t make it out!!
Unfortunately, the grade back to the driveway was too steep for us. Would not recommend anything but a four-wheel-drive vehicle for both upper AND lower campsites. We were driving a converted ram Promaster 3500 extended.
Our running boards did not fare well would’ve loved to return but not worth it without 4WD.

This was the best camping experience we’ve ever had. My friends and I gathered at hilltop one for a birthday campout weekend. The site is spectacular with an expansive view of the mountains and the moonrise. This land is sacred, you can feel the care that has gone into tending it. Greg is an absolute gem. He anticipated our needs the entire time and we parted as friends. He went above and beyond to help us have the most amazing time. Thank you Greg!!! We can’t wait to come back!!!

Our first time camping here and we absolutely loved it! We camped at hilltop two and the views were absolutely incredible. It was super easy to find and Greg’s hospitality was so kind. This place is so perfect because the drive from Virginia has the best views and goes through really beautiful and scenic views to get to the site. Once on the site, we were able to go on several walks along the sea and O canal path and there is access to the river as well. I definitely recommend this site and we are coming back for sure!
