If I am home, please feel free to come up if you have any concerns/questions or to say hi! :) *Please note, you can normally get to this site without a 4 wheel drive vehicle. However, when the river is high it will sometimes flood the low water bridge where it crosses the Cacapon. If this is the case during your stay, I will provide all necessary information regarding projected river levels and directions. I will also offer a full refund if the bridge is impassable. If I do not respond soon after your inquiry, it's because I am without reception. if your inquiry expires in 24 hours, I will still get back to you! Thanks in advance for your patience.

Weekend Trip to The Byrd's Nest on the River

We stayed one night with our two 12 year old girls. They loved kayaking , playing cornhole (from the shed on the property), dancing on the platform and roasting marshmallows. It was so peaceful and can’t wait to visit this site again. This has been our fave camping site yet!

This is the second time that my family and I have stayed at this site. We liked it so much that we brought friends this time! The location is incredible and Greg is an outstanding Camp host. He’s quickly responsive to all of our questions and needs. He absolutely goes above and beyond to make the stay special and especially to find ways to make it really fun for our kids. May daughter loves seeing the resident cats and Greg’s very chill dogs.I also appreciate how flexible he was when some of our plans changed. I will be back to this site many times.

Lovely spot with great views. Amazing for a relaxing weekend. Peggy (the host) was very sweet and welcoming. Would love to stay again.

This site is named after the wooden table it has bear claw marks on it from one of our local black bears who visit occasionally.

Great camping experience, everything is is set up nicely and Greg is awesome. He spread us out so you didn't have anyone right next to you, provided tons of firewood and was super nice. I will be back!

Campsite was huge and offered plenty of privacy. The campsite had a clear view to the west to see beautiful sunsets. Instructions to the site by the hose were clear.

Amazing site! Quiet and peaceful. Plenty of dead fall for firewood, if you don't bring your own. Great spaces for tents. Wifi available and a few plugs for electricity.

Greg was very friendly and made the whole experience awesome. He shared fun stories and helped us out when we needed a blowtorch for our stove, and even let us stay at a site that we didn't book which has an amazing view of the night sky. The place and bathrooms were clean, and the sites were stocked with firewood. One of the best aspects of the trip were his friendly huskies and cats which made it feel even more welcoming. The area is right by the C&O Canal Trail, and there’s a cool cave nearby that’s worth checking out. Overall, 11/10 camping spot with a great host and great vibes, highly recommend.

Weekend Trip to The Byrd's Nest on the River

I stayed here for just one night but really wish I could’ve stayed longer! The location is absolutely perfect, literally right on the water. The site is huge and could easily host a large group of friends while still feeling private and secluded. I also loved that I could bring my dog along. Despite feeling tucked away in nature, it’s only about 15 minutes from Berkeley Springs, which was super convenient. The host was very friendly and sent clear, detailed directions and instructions before my arrival. I’d love to come back when it’s a bit warmer. Overall this is definitely one of the nicest Hipcamps I’ve stayed at, especially for the location!

Me and my partner loved tenting on this land. The trip was cut because I wasn’t properly prepared for the cold. The host was super helpful and amazing. We would definitely go back in the spring.

So incredible to have so much room to ourselves. The dogs had the time of their lives running around exploring. Really lovely spot, super clean bathroom, beautiful foggy morning farm views.

Greg was amazing! He was accommodating to us in everything we could ever ask for and more. Love the site and how open it all is. Perfect for a family or friend trip. Water was nearby for fishing (if you’re lucky haha) and an amazing trail that has alot to see. Cant recommend Greg and this camp site enough! Thanks again
