Blue Moon Rising on Deep Creek
14 sites · LodgingMc Henry, MDOur Green Team is dedicated to cultivating economic, environmental, and social sustainability.In 2008, Blue Moon Risings’ visionary & founder Lisa M. Jan had the unique vision to integrate vacation rental properties and sustainable construction practices and techniques. Throughout the construction of our facility, we made decisions with the earth and its resources first, so we believe we have created a one-of-a-kind vacation experience while leaving as little impact on our natural landscape as possible.A cornerstone of BMR is that nothing goes to waste. Each and every tree that was removed was carefully evaluated so that could be reused elsewhere on the project. Whether as trim, a support post, or simply as wood to fuel the highly efficient masonry stove, these trees have been given a new life in the fabric of BMR. The dirt removed during excavating foundations was carefully sifted and mixed with clay, water, and lime to become the natural plaster coatings on interior and exterior straw bale walls on our flagship building, “The Leap”.With construction complete, we continue to apply earth 1st principals to the day to day operations of Blue Moon Rising.The hallmark of Blue Moon Rising, the guiding principle in its every aspect, is to demonstrate that comfort and beauty need not be (and will not be) sacrificed for humans to live lightly on this, our only planet. today.

Greener Pastures Family Farm
3 sites · Lodging10 acres · Keedysville, MDAs only the third owner of this farm since the late 1700's, we have only just begun to scratch the surface its historical significance. Once a functioning Mable Quarry, best known for supplying the marble used to construct the Washington Monument in Washington DC, the areas around Greener Pastures are a well-known destination for outdoor adventurers and history buffs nationwide.
The Big House is a German style Farmhouse that dates back to 1850. The Big House is accompanied by the Creekside Farm Cottage and Barn. The Barn, as most in the area served as a hospital during and after the Civil War. The original summer kitchen/smokhouse on property has been converted to a boho style tiny house and an area of the pastures boosts a yurt tent that is climate controlled and sits alongside Little Antietam Creek with perfect views of South Mountain.
Today, Greener Pastures is a sought after farm stay experience and events venue that hosts weddings and gatherings of all types year round in addition to overnight guests in the Tiny StoneHouse, Big Red Barn, Creekside Cottage and Big House.
The Big Red Barn is the heart of the farm with its beautiful window views of the surrounding mountains and expansive space for an overnight stay or the event of your dreams!
In 1972, the farm's previous owners renovated the two parts of the main farm house and added a large third addition. They also took care to strengthen the walls of the original summer kitchen/smokehouse (Tiny StoneHouse) and foundation of the 200+ year old barn then added the three-bay garage to the barn.
Over the years, the land has hosted livestock of every kind - cows, pigs, goats, chickens, and horses. At present, we are in the process of adding more and more livestock back onto the property, with the goal of making it 100% self-sustaining!
Right now we loving care for our small herd of Red Angus Cows, 3 goats and 4 working barn cats. Chickens will round out our animal family this coming spring.

All camping options
From Atlantic beaches to Appalachian Mountains, Chesapeake fishing villages to sprawling state parks―Maryland serves up plenty of variety, and campers won’t have to search far to find a campground, cabin, or glampsite. Whether you’re vacationing along the Chesapeake Bay, hiking and backcountry camping in the northern mountains, or driving your RV along Scenic Byways, there’s an adventure to suit all tastes. Summer is the busiest time to visit, when crowds hit the beach resorts along the Atlantic coast, but the mild temperatures of spring and fall are ideal for camping and outdoor activities. Winters are cold and snowy, so opt for a cozy cabin rental instead.
Where to Go
Western Maryland
Misty mountain peaks, dense forests, and sparkling lakes await in Western Maryland, which stretches from Hagerstown to Deep Creek Lake. Follow the Mountain Maryland scenic byway through the Allegheny Mountains, rent a canal boat along the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, or go whitewater rafting in Swallow Falls State Park. Seasonal highlights include the fall foliage hikes around Oakland, summer swimming and boating on Deep Creek Lake, and hitting the ski slopes in McHenry.
Central Maryland
Sitting pretty between Appalachian peaks and Chesapeake Bay shores, Maryland’s capital region has outdoor escapes within easy reach of both Baltimore and Washington D.C. Take your RV on a drive through history along the Historic National Road, running all the way from Baltimore into the western mountains; hike a 40-mile stretch of the Appalachian Trail; or enjoy wine tasting along the Piedmont Wine Trail. Camping favorites include the Cunningham Falls and Susquehanna state parks.
South Maryland
Picturesque coastal towns, Civil War sites, and golf courses pepper the western shore of Chesapeake Bay, where you can enjoy fishing, birding, and oyster tasting to your heart’s content. Snag a riverside campsite along the Potomac River, enjoy beachside walks in the Point Lookout State Park, or hunt for fossils in the Calvert Cliffs State Park.
Eastern Shore
Vacationers flock to Ocean City, where there are enough sandy beaches, golf courses, and boardwalk amusements to keep you busy all summer long. Nearby, there are beachside campgrounds and herds of wild horses to admire at Assateague Island National Seashore, or you can head over to the Chesapeake Bay shore to paddle around the marshes, enjoy birdwatching in the Blackwater National Wildlife, or rent a rustic cabin at Janes Island State Park.
