Escape the chaos of everyday life and experience true relaxation at our hidden gem glamping site! The Indian Rail Trail, Charles County's most exciting recreational trail, is just a 7-minute drive from your tent. This paved, 13-mile-long, ten-foot-wide path is an excellent excursion for bikers of all ages, connecting the small town of Indian Head on the Potomac River to White Plains. The fairly level trail takes riders through mature forests, natural wetlands, and some farmland. During your stay, you can also take a 10-minute walk through the forest on our property to visit a serene creek.
Your Signature campsite accommodates up to 6-10 campers. The basic booking includes space for 4 campers, with 2 sleeping on the Queen Bed in the platform safari tent and 2 sleeping in bags on the floor. The site also features a picnic table, fire pit, and Adirondack chairs where you can relax and stargaze at night.
Atlantic Kayak Company is a 20-minute drive from the site, offering kayak rentals and guided expeditions. For families, Sky Zone Trampoline Park is a fun activity less than a 10-minute drive from the campsite. A Walmart is conveniently located about 10 minutes away for any supplies you may need, and local produce can be obtained on Wednesdays and Saturdays at the La Plata Farmer's Market (12 min drive) between April and November.
The Road To Serenity: Our road is a quaint old country farm road made of grass and a few gravel patches here and there. It is a bit of a bumpy ride, so take it slow and easy as you make your way to our hidden getaway. There is one sharp left turn over a culvert and some dips and mild inclines, so low-sitting vehicles should definitely take it slow. The road narrows as you get closer to the site, but there are reflectors along the way to keep you on the right path. We highly recommend arriving before dark.
Parking: Parking is on the grass meadow between the entrance to the meadow and the walking path to the campsite. Reflectors are in place to outline the parking area. Avoid driving beyond the parking area and down steep inclines in the meadow, as softer ground presents a risk for getting stuck. A gorilla wagon is available in the parking area to help transport your belongings to the campsite.
Toilet and Shower Set-up: There is a privacy tent that contains a toilet seat over a bucket. Place a bag with absorbent materials in the bucket for your biological needs. A portable automatic shower providing hot water is also available.
Pets: For the safety of your pets, ensure that they are treated for ticks prior to camping. Be sure to check for ticks before bringing pets into the tent.
Noises and Sounds: This property is located in a rural community, and campers may occasionally experience common city noises such as airplanes flying overhead, distant traffic, or distant firearm shots. It is a great site for city dwellers who enjoy tranquility but not complete silence.

Triple A Acres Private Forest Camp
5. Triple A Acres Private Forest Camp
40mi from Fort Meade · 1 site · Tent, RV
Private 20+ acre forest retreat just 1 mile from the Indian Head Rail Trail and 10 minutes from the Potomac River.
Escape to Triple A Acres, a peaceful private campground nestled within 20+ acres of mature hardwood forest just outside Washington, DC. The property is dedicated to non-motorized recreation, offering a quiet retreat for campers looking to unwind in nature while still being close to modern conveniences.
While the setting feels secluded, you’re conveniently located just 1 mile from the Indian Head Rail Trail, making this a great stop for cyclists, hikers, and trail explorers. Great for cyclists riding the Indian Head Rail Trail who want a quiet overnight stop. Fast food and grocery stores are only 2.5 miles away, and the Marshall Hall boat launch on the Potomac River is about a 10-minute drive.
Access is simple via a recycled asphalt paved road leading to an approximately 40' × 60' paved camping and parking area suitable for tents, vans, or smaller RVs. The entrance driveway is somewhat steep, but AWD or vehicles with traction control generally have no issues. A 16' × 24' glamping pad is currently in development for future upgraded camping experiences.
Guests can explore a 0.5-mile nature trail winding through the forest, where many interior woodland species thrive in this protected setting. Adventurous explorers may also discover an intermittent stream that feeds into the Potomac River watershed.
Great for:
• Rail trail cyclists looking for a quiet overnight stop
• Campers wanting a secluded forest escape near Washington, DC
• Nature lovers interested in wildlife, hiking, and birdwatching
• Travelers who want privacy while staying close to food and supplies
Relax beneath the forest canopy, listen to the wind through the trees, and enjoy a quiet woodland retreat just minutes from the DMV.
Come experience the tranquility of Triple A Acres.

Tent

We live about 20 minutes away, so that was a big draw. Our lab pup loved Broad Run Creek and we similarly enjoyed sitting in our chairs in the water. The water access could be better; a little steep and slick after wet, but manageable.
Site?: overall great. First, promixity…huge win. It’s not very “rough” camping of me but since it has an address, DoorDash will deliver here. That was a big plus on our first night so we didn’t have to fuss with camp kitchen. Second, the “top” clearing right over the bridge is shaded and great for setting up tents. Downside, not very flat and some pretty large rocks on the ground. If they put some gravel or even just backfilled with some topsoil, the more even ground would be a huge win. Third, bathroom situation was fine. We knew the compost toilet was gonna be our option, but the little pop up tent it’s in is way too small. My wife is 5’3 and had to duck to get in and out. When you have to go, having to fidget in a tight enclosure isn’t great. Fourth, although private, definitely in a residential area. Not sure if it was because it was a holiday weekend, but a nearby house/property was BLARING music all day. Not the relaxing oasis we’d hoped. Aside from those minor things, site was really nice, communication was easy, and we’ll be back.
Be very aware that there are ticks GALORE out here. Our pup had at least 7 on her we pulled off and we found a few on ourselves as well. Plan accordingly!
