Would it be to rest in nature and soak up the sounds and wonder of our wooded landscape, explore hiking trails and national and state parks, float down the Potomac, and/or visit historic sites and towns? Fern Yabin (a hard sided yurt) is nestled in a forest on a ridge (Elk Ridge) directly across from the Maryland Appalachian Trail. We are tucked down in a holler surrounded by streams, towering Poplars, wildlife and dappled sunshine. The land hosts some animals - a goat, dogs, cats, chickens, and ducks while growing medicinal plants, seasonal edible berries/fruits (wineberries, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, mulberries, elderberries, vine kiwi, pawpaw, etc.) and rocks (plenty of them). There is a couple of acres enclosed with an electric fence where the livestock guardian dog (Luna) roams with the animals. We also sell farm fresh eggs.
Fern Yabin is a rustic hard sided yurt style cabin that has hot and cold water, composting toilet, outdoor shower (cold water only), a indoor soaking tub, hot water kettle, an outdoor propane grill, ceiling fan, outdoor patio and fire pit, skylight, WiFi, and lots of character. The Yabin was a true labor of love built as a collective effort in community. There is a designated parking spot and a gravel path (moderate decline) that leads down to the Yabin. If you are a thru hiker, drop off and pick up is available for a fee. Please inquire upon booking.
We are 10 minutes to the Appalachian Trail (Weverton Cliffs/Gathland SP and Crampton Gap) and the Potomac/Shenandoah Rivers (great for tubing/kayaking/wading/swimming).

With 15,000 wooded acres, Pocomoke River State Park’s claim to fame is its stand of loblolly pine and cypress swamps bordering a wild and scenic river. It’s divided into two parts, Shad Landing (south side) and Milburn Landing (north side), which are about a 25 minute drive apart. The combination of ecosystems means the park is home to a plethora of plant and animal life including white dogwood and pink laurel trees, river otters, bald eagles and over 50 species of fish.There is no shortage of traditional camping activities, but the park also boasts an Olympic-sized swimming pool in case you decide “I can’t take this no more," and make like Squints from the Sandlot. The park's name may mean black water, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t take your baby down to Pocomoke where you can get there fast and then take it slow.

This place was a nice quiet hide away from every thing. We were able to relax around the fire at night after the hustle and bustle of the beach trip during the day. It was a great way to unwind and it’s definitely what we needed! TJ is super responsive and is a great host! There’s a little pond with a bridge over it where we enjoyed watching the turtles and the fish. There were so many turtles in one spot! There are also goats that roam that were awesome to watch.

I had brought a small group to test out the site to see if it would be a fit for my group of friends. Getting to see the horses, chickens, and peacocks were really a huge highlight for all campers. The electric and water systems was really creative and honestly was a huge benefit. The porta potties were clean. Being near the creek and playground were a huge bonus, even to us big kids (aka adults). I really am excited to plan another trip with a bigger group. Can't wait to go back.

What a beautiful, peaceful place! Definitely recommend. Mary Ann was an incredible and generous host!
Camping right on the water, kayaking, golf cart to use to local store/restaurants, outdoor shower, fire pit, fenced backyard (no fence water side if your furry loved one would jump in water), grills available(I didn't use), walkable neighborhood. I had such a pleasant experience and enjoyed getting to know Mary Ann.
Note: shared bathroom for use is inside the house. If you are in an RV/skoolie etc, you will need to back in (no pull through).

Pros: so peaceful! We never saw or heard another person throughout our stay from 7pm until 11am the following day. Loved that we were able to scavenge for wood and build a fire. Bathrooms were nearby, clean and free. Cons: no source of drinking water. It was a little strange pulling up to the front gate, which was a bungy cord across the road that had to be opened and closed by us. Honor system! But we got used to it
