Easy to find site but definitely have an off road capable vehicle to cross the stream. Low slung sedans won't make it Camp site was clean, flat, and private. Only major criticism is easier access to the Porta John. You need to drive back across the stream to get to it as the sewer pipe cannot be used to walk across. Driving out isn't always a option with tents in the way. My other personal opinion is the fire ring could be bigger. Seemed too small for such a large site

Had a great time tent camping here! The site was the perfect size and nicely situated next to the creek and away from other sites. We had a little trouble finding our way to the site but we were in the dark 😅 had no trouble crossing the river and the area felt very safe. Would recommend!

Site was very secluded. Well marked and easy to find right off of 15. Perfect spot to spend the night to break up my drive.

Overall, this was a great camping spot — beautiful views and an easy walk to the river. The only downsides were that it could’ve been cleaned up a bit more (some faded signs and a little trash here and there), and our site was closer to the road than expected, so there was some traffic noise. And while not the campground’s fault, there were so many spiders! That said, I’d still be more than likely to come back — no place is perfect, and that’s part of the camping experience!

Lovely spot with easy access to the site (beware you must have a vehicle with ample clearance for a stream crossing) and river access just over a small hill from the camp area. Note: you cannot see the river from the camp site. And if you are wanting a very quiet experience think again because there is a continuous hum of traffic from Route 15, day and night. There is a nice circular walking path if you want to take a stroll around the fields. For something close to Baltimore it's a good option.

Incredibly welcoming & friendly host & community on a beautiful piece of land. Ideal for stargazing, though not too far of a drive from home. If you want seclusion in the woods, perhaps not the right campsite, but if you’re looking for a couple nights with a car & a tent, look no further.

My son’s first time camping and I have been waiting until he was old enough to take him and teach him all I learned at his age. This was amazing! Excellent site, plenty of room, stocked some firewood for us to get started, and just generally an amazing first camp with my boy. Not too far away either, and was just a cool site right by the river. Couldn’t be better and Will never forget this site!

My group of 4 loved Site 5! There was so much space, had its own trail to the creek, and was pretty easy to find. I was surprised that we had to drive through a shallow creek to get there but it wasn’t a problem! We went on a hike in Fredrick Municipal Forest (~25 min away) where there are plenty of trails. We went mid-october and the foliage was scenic. Overall a great trip, a great location, and site! Thank you!

We had a great camping experience! Site 3 was private and well covered by trees which blocked some light rain. Great for dogs!
Everything was as described. There is a small farm stand close to the property that sells fire wood.

This is a pretty solid spot if you’re looking for something close to Frederick. The spots are well spaced out, every spot was full the night we were there and we barely ever heard anyone else. There’s some road noise from the highway down the river, but it’s not too bad. Really do need ground clearance to drive out to the spots, have to go through a creek and through some ruts in the path initially, but not too bad.

We enjoyed camping at blue ridge overlook. The field was well maintained and was covered in creeping thyme so it smelled amazing. The host was friendly and the bathrooms were clean. The fire pits are communal and not at each campsite.

Camping at site 5 was great. Felt very secluded and was a decently large site. Being just up the hill from the river was a nice touch as well. Directions to the site were easy to follow. The road noise was a little louder than what I was expecting but it wasn't horrible. What we didn't like was in the middle of the night, there were a couple people walking down the driving path talking very loudly which woke us up. Then a few minutes later we heard a bunch of teenagers yelling/screaming making a bunch of noise like they were playing a game. That's all fine and dandy but not very considerate for others staying on the property, especially being in the middle of the night when I'm sure most people are trying to rest. Not the owners fault by any means and I would not let that deter you from choosing this place as it was still very nice. There will always be inconsiderate campers everywhere you go, unfortunately. I would definitely come back and highly recommend.

Nice spot by the river, not near other sites, quiet and clean. Would recommend, but something’s to note, there is a fairly well used road across the river from the site so you will hear car traffic, and you do really need a high-clearance car to get across the creek from the owner’s farm to the site, especially after some rain, it’s too far to walk with your stuff if you have more than one trip. So again would recommend but wanted to make people aware of this.

We had a great time camping down by the river on Jon-Mikel's farm. The property grounds were well kept and maintained a peaceful atmosphere. Having town close by ended up being a lifesaver for some emergency supplies. The ability to let our puppers roam free was also amazing. We couldn't of asked for a better time. See you again soon!
