1. Blue Ridge Overlook

100%
(5)
21mi from Frederick · 6 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
Perched atop a private ridgeline just outside Waynesboro, this mountaintop retreat offers some of the most breathtaking views of the Blue Ridge Mountains in south-central Pennsylvania. The main campsite is a wide, grassy clearing at elevation—perfectly positioned to catch golden hour sweeping across the range, with panoramic vistas stretching all the way to High Rock at Pen Mar Park, a stunning overlook just a short drive away. Wake up to mist rolling through the valleys below, spend your days exploring nearby state forests and orchards, and wind down around a fire under endless stars. This is a space for reflection, renewal, and reconnection—with both nature and yourself. Completely private, with no nearby houses or road noise, it’s ideal for tent campers, vanlifers, and anyone craving elevation and solitude. There’s easy gravel access, and cell service is surprisingly strong for a mountaintop. If you're looking for a peaceful, elevated escape with world-class views and total quiet—you’ve found it.

41mi from Frederick · 2 sites · Tents, RVs
Note: For the winter months we are closed, we reopen in march. The furthest we are open at any given moment is about six months. We close when hunting season comes in during the fall. Description of camp: This is not a glampsite! There are limited utilities here. No Drinking water, just water for the fire. There is a self serve firewood store, you may also forage dead wood. Here only one group may camp at a time. The campsite is a big level hilltop clearing surrounded by acres of woods. There is stone driveway that leads to the site that gets you back into the woods. The driveway is wide enough for trucks, trailers, vans, etc. Since the site is up high it gets a great breeze which helps on warm days and gets good cell service. The campsite gets great sun and has shaded areas along the sides that make for good tent pitching. We have had people set up hammocks, tents, tarps, or camp in their vehicle. We provide a privy (outhouse), an outdoor showerroom/changing room, picnic tables, and a metal fire pit with grill rack that you can put in the fire pit if you wish to cook/grill over it. The woods are hilly so biking is not recomended. On the property we have 2+ miles of hiking trails. PLEASE feel free to contact us for any questions. Also please look at our pictures for a better idea of what we offer. Nearby Activities: A short drive from here will take you to Gettysburg, York, or Hanover. Codorus park offers great hiking and is next to a lake. There are many excellent restaurants and brewpubs nearby, including the award winning Warehouse Gourmet Bistro and Brewpub. For more information read our activities section to find out what other things we provide or have nearby that you can do. Pricing: We have a weeknight discount for the site which is 29 dollars (Sunday-Thurdsay nights). Friday night and Saturday night we charge 35 dollars. Any additional guests after five we charge 9.50 dollars per person. We allow up to 10 guests total. Rules: Extinguish camp fires that are unattended and to only make them in the designated fire pit, no noise past 9 o'clock, discharging of firearms and fireworks are prohibited, do not bring firewood (to prevent invasive bug spread), keep your pets attended/on a leash, clean up after your pets, no cutting down trees

21mi from Frederick · 2 sites · Lodging
The Silo is a place where nature, country and modern touches meet in the mountains of Harpers Ferry West Virginia! Here you’ll experience staying in a fully renovated silo grain bin while enjoying the sounds of nature in the woods. Located just 8 minutes from Harpers Ferry National Park, Harpers Ferry Brewing, Harpers Ferry Adventures, Maryland Heights hiking trail&the Historic "low town" area, it's the perfect lodging location for the adventurous traveler after exploring all the town has to offer. Our property was built with the unique, adventurous, down to earth, out of box, nature loving traveler in mind. Our property has untraditional and outdoorsy lodging elements. If you have a more city, hotel or traditional lodging preference, we invite you to seek other accommodation options in the area as that is not the target market for an enjoyable stay at the silo. *We have a black camper on the property for a limited time. No one stays in the camper and it does not effect the silo in anyway
