In 1831 formerly Northern's Mill had an old mill house, dwelling house, outbuildings, mill pond and water courses with about 31 acres and was bought for an enormous amount of
$10.00!
At the working mill the owner's wife baked pies for the workers to enjoy
while they waited for their ground grains (most likely corn, soybeans and wheat).
The pond is also recognized as
Courtney Mill Pond and Kissinger Mill Pond.
Fires in the 1980's have claimed the building creating a perfect place for you to enjoy nature outside.
Learn more about this land:
Fresh and salt water surrounds a birding, fishing paradise with 5 acres to explore. Bald Eagles are a common siting. We offer a primitive camping experience in the heart of the Northern Neck. The road is washed out and fresh water pond mostly drained. You will access from Mundy Point Road. This historical site had a working Mill built in the early 1800's. Please check out my friend's place nearby at Callao Brewery and Rivah Vineyards at the Grove! Grab some fresh local veggies from one of the Amish stands and don't forget your tackle and bait at RW's.
Camp 1 has the most room for car camping and groups close to the road and overlooking the pond.
Camp 2 is a short hike to a private knoll overlooking the grassy marsh of Mill Creek, this is tidal water that flows to the Potomac.

Your Private Couples' Retreat
6. Your Private Couples' Retreat
37mi from Deal Island · 1 site · Tent, RV
Welcome to the ultimate getaway for lovers. This is not your average RV camping spot - it's a sanctuary where intimacy and serenity blend seamlessly with the great outdoors. Bring your own RV or Camper and enjoy.
Nestled in a rural residential neighborhood on a gravel dirt surface with plenty of space for a 40' max back-in RV, this spot offers everything you need for comfort and convenience:
Full hook-ups with water, sewer, and 50/30 amp electric service.
A charming deck platform where you can sip coffee in the morning or watch the stars at night.
A picnic table perfect for shared meals or a spontaneous card game.
A firepit to cozy up around and share stories, laughter, and marshmallows.
This is more than just a parking spot – it’s a haven for rekindling connection.
Why Choose This Spot?
Have you noticed what most campgrounds lack? Intimacy. They can be noisy, crowded, and anything but private. This space is different. Designed with couples in mind, it offers quiet time and the privacy you’ve been longing for – a perfect retreat for two.
It’s a space where the lines between Mother Nature’s beauty and warm shelter blur. Where you can sit hand-in-hand with your best friend, partner, road dog, or love kitten and feel the world slow down.
When was the last time you truly unplugged together? When did you last sit quietly, holding each other, letting the worries of the world melt away?
This isn’t just another campsite; it’s an invitation to reconnect.
Imagine This…
The crackle of a firepit warms the evening air as you wrap up in a blanket and share a quiet moment under a canopy of stars. The deck becomes your morning refuge, where coffee tastes better and smiles come easier. You feel the breeze whisper through the trees, and for once, there’s nothing to interrupt the peace.
This is where love finds room to breathe and grow. It’s the perfect spot to fall in love all over again – with each other, with life, and with the simplicity of being together.
Conveniently located with easy access to outdoor adventures and local attractions, yet far enough to give you the privacy you crave. Whether you want to explore the surroundings or simply stay put and soak in the tranquility, this spot is your ideal base. You deserve this time an you’ll rediscover the joy of connection.

Great place to get away and camp. Really quiet, plenty of open space and tree line to camp on. Nice trails to walk the dog or take the Jeep through. Plenty of wood to burn, but best you bring something to cut it up. This was perfect for me because I was camping in a hot tent. They will cut and deliver wood for a price. The bath house was a short walk away with clean showers and conditioned. The Host and Helper were really nice and made sure I had what I needed. I'll definitely be back for another stay.

Weekend Trip to Strawberry Crossroads
We visited the Strawberry Crossroads in early Nov to enjoy the fall foliage. We rented one of the small wooden cabins, which had 6 individual bunks with mats, a small fridge, a small table, a trash can, ceiling light and fan, and a cooler/heater. The land was beautiful with a lovely creek and a cute wooden bridge that crosses over it. We enjoyed the goats and chickens, and just the overall beautiful nature. The hosts were very responsive, kind, and relaxed. We had a great time and will recommend to friends/family.

TJ’s directions were super clear and he was accommodating to our late arrival. We were in town for a baseball tournament, and this location made for easy travel back and forth. Our kids loved visiting with the goats and fishing in the pond (lots of little bass reeled in)!

It was a peaceful and relaxing place tucked back in the woods. When I needed help and then some wood, the service was extremely prompt. The showers were hot. It was everything I was looking for to stay for a quick night traveling south. Thank you.

Was everything we expected it to be. Site was nice and flat restrooms were clean and well maintained. The goats came to visit the first day we were set up they hung out for a few and went on their way. It was late in the season so activity was minimal which worked out well for us.

The property at Strawberry Crossroads is beautiful! I’m just sorry I didn’t get to spend more leisure time there, as I had to work in town every day. It is only 17 miles from the beach resort town of Ocean City, yet you feel far removed from the crowds etc…Our host TJ was super hospitable, yet left you to your privacy. He would even deliver firewood, if needed! I will definitely stay again & also recommend to others!

Very easy to find and set up camp. The farm is well organized and easy to navigate. TJ is a fantastic host, very helpful and quick to respond. The farm is close to various activities including hiking, fishing and the beach. The farm animals roaming the grounds add a fun and cute element to the stay as well. Would stay again.

Weekend Trip to Strawberry Crossroads
Camp site was easily accessible. Staff was accommodating for my late night arrival and helped get me into the cabin after a long day.
There was a nice stack of firewood outside of the cabin. I didn’t use it because of wet weather and limited time at the site, but it was a welcome surprise.
Inside has 6 bunks. I doubled up on mattresses since I was solo. Inside has a small refrigerator and remote controlled air conditioner, both worked well and AC helped ensure a solid nigts’s sleep. Inside flooring is carpeted and also has a small table and chair.
Communication was timely and efficient.
Bathhouse is about a 5 minute walk. Showers were clean, well maintained and had nice hot water. Would recommend if you’re looking for a quick accessible cabin near Ocean City.

Weekend Trip to Strawberry Crossroads
Second year in a row staying here. Cabin was clean and had just what we needed to be comfortable for the weekend. Bathrooms had nice showers. The goats did sleep on our front porch and stalked us all morning Saturday, so that was an unexpected fun touch! Would definitely come back, and most likely will!

I would recommend Strawberry Crossroads to anyone who is looking for affordable and country/primitive camping. I came into the area for Oceans Calling and I found Strawberry Crossroads on Hipcamp so I could car camp and be out of the city. This was honestly the best part of my trip. They were very helpful and accommodating. My first night my car was towed in OC which prompted me to get a hotel, however they were more than willing to come get me if I needed. I asked for fire wood & they delivered right to my site for $10. During my stay I also made a mistake and let my battery die and they came right away when I asked for help. The grounds, are pretty big. Two fields with plenty of space. Showers and bathrooms were clean. & all the other campers I ran into were super friendly! They had cabins, sites for campers, and primitive camping which is what I did. The animals on the property don’t bother you. And they have a really cute & friendly dog I got to meet!
