This ended up being our favorite stop on our ten day (ten different campsite) roadtrip! The dogs were a little overwhelming at first, jumping on our car and barking at us as we unpacked… but by morning we had made three new best friends 🐕 they slept by our tent through the night and protected us, they kept us company and my son loved playing with them. The pasture was well kept and they had the best portapotty I think I’ve ever been in. It didn’t smell at all (no idea how that’s possible) and had string lights, sanitizer, a mirror, etc. The sheep were a joy to wake up next to and pet- one came right up to the fence when we walked over! The alpaca was cute and the host communicated well too. Our family favorite!

Stand out communication & kind hospitality for a great stay. The Border Collie trio did not disappoint! This Hipcamp was able to accommodate my late arrival and I had a comfortable stop over.

Yates' farm is beautiful, and the site was private. Finding everything was super easy and the sunrise over the Patuxant river was gorgeous. We'll definitely be back.

My niece goes camping twice a year and I hijacked this fall trip. I selected Yates’ site because of the quiet and tranquil surrounding and we were not disappointed. Tucker, Yates’ cousin, met us at check-in with the sweetest dog. We found site 3 easily and setup went smoothly. Site 3 is shady and offers views of the Patuxent River and a nice swampy area below. Loved the sounds of birds, fox…night life. I wasn’t expecting all the Daddy Long Legs and various other spiders. Thank God my niece was there to save me, lol. We brought our own wood, but there was kindling/small branches at the site that we also took advantage of. We played it forward and left the same for the next camper. I would definitely stay here again, just not at Site 3. I think Site 1 is open without the abundance of trees and prayerfully less bugs.

This was a great campsite! Dogs are extremely friendly, so expect to hang out with them, but they're adorable, and it's the perfect place for a weekend away.

I stayed here with my two dogs and we had such a great time. It’s incredibly peaceful. No traffic noise, no people, just nature. Being able to let the dogs off leash without worrying was AMAZING. They ran around, swam, sniffed everything… they were living their best lives.
We explored some of the local hiking spots during the day and did some fishing. At night the sky was unreal. You can actually see the stars and moon without any light pollution. We even saw the international space station. Super quiet at night too—just frogs and wind.
Yates, the owner, was really nice. He told me ahead of time that his sons would be driving by early in the morning so I wouldn’t be surprised, which I appreciated. Other than that he totally gave us space and let us do our thing.
Overall just a really relaxing, low-stress place to camp. If you want quiet, space, and a chill vibe (especially if you have dogs), this place is perfect. This is going to be my new go-to spot.

The view is beautiful. My pictures are amazing. Very quiet and peaceful. Close to the rivers edge. It did not rain, so I had no issues. However, flooding would be the only concern or negative. This is my favorite or number 1 campsite. This was my 5th camping trip. I would book again.

Loved camping there! Had friendly neighbors over the weekend too. Didnt get a chance to meet Edwin but chatted with him over the hipcamp app and he was very friendly when chatting.
Pups were very friendly. They “helped” me set up my camper and even had one hop on in when we were bringing stuff inside. Each slot had its own fire pit and there were plenty of spots to choose from. Even with other people there, it wasnt crowded at all like a normal camp would be.
Outhouse was very clean and smelled fresh and clean as well.
I will definitely be coming back again next year for my expos i vend at.

Liked the spot! Thank you for letting us enjoy and nice relaxing weekend on your property. Site 3 was private and all directions to get there were easy and straight forward. You’ll know what you’re doing! Thank you again.

We had a great time here! The host was very kind and accommodating. She let us borrow her kayaks for the day to visit Mallow's Bay which was a total lifesaver! We only had our inflatable one and that would not have survived the shipwrecks. Unfortunately the pier has been damaged so we couldn't use it but it was still lovely staying right on the water.

The check-in was chill and friendly, and finding my spot was easy to figure out from the description provided. Once I was settled, I was left to my own devices between the camping pasture and the animal pasture; it was lovely! I brought my camping luxuries, they provided a potty and a pump faucet with potable water.. They introduced me to their SWEET dogs and I was so socially awkward after that, I can’t remember if I even introduced myself. Their dogs sensed me up stirring early in the morning on my way out, and they came out to say hi/good morning! The dogs do not overstay their welcome, though. Great spot I will keep on my list for the future!

My weekend at Donna’s site was nothing short of perfect—my wife, our dog, my parents, and I all had a fabulous time! From the moment we arrived, Donna shone as a super-host, attentive, warm, and remarkably thoughtful. When the rain made the ground slippery, she proactively brought us hay to ensure safety—something we truly appreciated.
The site itself had all the comforts of home, which is rare in a camping setting. Hot showers, running water, and electricity were conveniently available, making our stay both cozy and hassle-free. Fishing was a real highlight: we caught plenty of fish, making for fun, satisfying afternoons.
A small note: If you're arriving near high tide, just be mindful of where you pitch your tent. But honestly, that was the only minor challenge in what was otherwise a flawless 10/10 experience.
Overall, Donna’s place offers a brilliant blend of outdoor charm and thoughtful amenities. Highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a peaceful, family-friendly getaway with excellent hosting.

Edwin’s farm was a great stop over as I travelled up 1-95. The area was secluded and the dogs kept me company as I set up. Edwin was very responsive, would recommend!

Alex's site is just as described. It is primitive camping and don't expect to drive to the site unless you have a solid offload 4 wheel drive. It is steep! However, it is not a long walk from a good car parking site. This is likely the only camp site I could find in NOVA. Alex was quick to respond and precise in directions.
