Lovely location. Host is very attentive and kind. Power works great and water is conveniently located. Property is very large but parking is very close to owners home which is on property. Not bad but something to be aware of. We had a great time

We had a wonderful time at Jill’s property for an overnight trip with our camper. We had the whole place to ourselves and enjoy the peaceful countryside while exploring the pond and beautiful tree covered driveway. Jill’s communication has been the best we’ve experienced this far!!

Such a cute spot! The converted shipping container (Uncontained) had all the necessary elements to make our stay easier and more comfortable. Don’t forget to pet the goats and feed the turtles!

This was the absolute best experience camping. It was such a serene sight and gave the much needed relaxing atmosphere I was hoping for. The attention to detail and needs that Shayne provides makes this place stand above the others. I'd give it a 10 out of 10 100 times!

Great site and beautiful property overall! There was plenty of space for our fifth wheel to turn around and park. Power and water is conveniently located, and easy to use.
The location is convenient to Cambridge and Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge.
Great site and friendly host - we will be back if we are in the area again!

I was planning to camp at a State Park but made a last minute change, and I am so glad that I did. I stayed 2 nights, and I camp quite a bit, so I know a great camp site when I see it!
Camp layout & privacy: There are several designated spaces to choose for your tent. They are all in nicely shaded spots, and the ground was pleasantly soft. You have the entire place to yourself, with no visible neighbors, though you will hear occasional (minimal) road noise.
Amenities: Shayne has thought of everything, and then a few more things! I am used to very primitive camping, but it was cool to see that some camping essentials were also provided. This would be a great place for people who are just getting started camping! The Uncontained indoor space was amazing. It smelled of lavendar and provided a very sophisticated indoor space. The fire pit and chairs were perfect, and I made use of the throw blankets when the evening around the fire got chilly. The bathroom was very clean and well maintained, and there was even a handwashing station. I also enjoyed several hours in the hammock.
Local area: Right by the site is a small walking trail, as well as a bridge where you can feed the turtles. I did both :) The nearby towns provide any essentials you may have forgotten, and I enjoyed a river walk in nearby Federalsburg. I also was able to drive 1 hr to visit Assateague Island, which was a bucket list item for me!

Beautiful, secluded campsite, lovely river views, minimal bugs likely due to recent drought. We loved it, looking forward to future stays☺️

I cannot praise Shayne’s Hipcamp enough. I stayed here with my pooch for two days and we had everything we could possibly need.
While staying at this Hipcamp, you’re offered 4 sites to tent that are all within a super quick walk to the Porta-Potty and the refurbished shipping container (Uncontained). Though the directions are very clear and consise, Shayne is still there to meet you to show you where everything is & answer any questions you have. We tent camped at the “mushroom” site which was very well shaded and close to both the bathroom and Uncontained. We had firewood waiting for us along with any camping amenities you could think of. Night 2 got colder than we’d anticipated and Shayne informed us we were more than welcome to utilize the cots in the Uncontained and stay in there which we did. She’s put a ton of work into making this spot the perfect place to getaway from the well maintained property to the whimsical tea party setup near the Uncontained to the endless supply of camping amenities you may have forgotten to pack. If we’re back in the area we know where we’ll be staying. Thank you for everything Shayne!

Absolutely recommend! Shayne is very thoughtful and intentional in making your stay welcoming and comfortable. The property is beautiful and quiet with pretty flowers and wildlife. Monarch butterflies and hummingbirds seemed to enjoy the flowers as much as I did!
I would stay here again and recommend others do as well! :)

Site is very natural and wild, which is lovely! However, there is no sign, and the road is overgrown, so be sure to arrive in daylight.
Bring bug protection, as it is right by the water and loaded.
We arrived at night and ended up calling the host for directions after being lost. She answered! She was very kind friendly helpful and informative. I look for.ward to returning to this zen oasis.

Great no frills, hidden but accesible spot along a beautiful tidal creek. Be up for sunrise and coffee while the fish jump, terrapins wade and mist rises into the dawn. Dusk is equally as beautiful and not as buggy as one would expect. Recommend for those looking for a quick wild camp set up!

Charming, carefully/well thought out set•up; uncontained is adorable!!! Even though I didn’t get around to checking out the trail this time, I definitely would during another stay! Yes, I plan on returning!! Host is super friendly, responsive, and helpful. Unfortunately, I had to cut my time there short when I started not feeling too well (totally unrelated to the camping experience/campsite, fyi), and the host was very gracious around that and helpful with that unexpected issue!!

We had such a terrific time at Jill's place camping with the family this weekend. Jill was one of the best hosts we have ever had. The site had a beautiful view of the pond and trails and plenty quiet spots to sit and relax.
Jill let the kids pick flowers and we loved having the opportunity to go inside her workshop where she makes the best cremes and hand made ceramic pots. We ended up buying a box full as gifts for friends and family.
This site is highly recommended and we are definitely looking forward to staying here again.
