We loved the island and La Mar was an amazing host. 5 of us spent a weekend on the island. If you have no experience canoeing, be prepared. Being from NYC, we are inexperienced and it took us an hour to row the mile to the island against the tide. if you can get your own power boat to take you there, it will make life a whole lot easier. definitely a challenge, but it was amazing once we made it. The island is relaxing for a weekend. You also get to do some fishing, though we didn't have much luck in October. also - low tide is really low tide. don't plan on going out until the tide comes in a bit. I would recommend taking lots of firewood and a portable toilet.
I can't say enough about how communicative and accommodating La Mar is. We're already talking about our next trip.

As a quick getaway we booked La Mar’s island. It’s pretty well kept and has a large campfire area overlooking the water. Easy fishing from the island as long as it’s not low tide. Lots of space to camp with multiple tents if desired. You’re able to watch bald eagles and other wildlife, we even saw an otter. The only downfall is you can hear the highway all night long. I would definitely book again for a quick getaway!

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!

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!

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!

It was a wonderful experience. We went there to spend the weekend and we absolutely loved it. The island was very well maintained and had enough privacy. Even though we could hear the highway noise it didnt bother us much. And being a bird watcher myself, i was overjoyed by seeing the wildlife around this area including ospreys and bald eagles.We spent entire day fishing in kayak and photographing birds. And LaMar was awesome host and was very responsive. He went above and beyond to help us with the trip. Would love to come back !

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! :)

The island is a little oasis and perfect for a camping getaway. We couldn’t ask for a better host than La mar, very communicative, and so helpful. Hope to come back soon.

An absolutely wonderful stay. It was private and relaxing. If you’re a bird watcher, this is the place for you. We saw eagles, osprey, blue and white herons, and several other types of birds. Our three dogs loved running free and being able to swim around. The shower was a luxury we didn’t know we needed. LaMar shared some history behind the island with us and was a pleasure to talk to. We’ll be back.

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!!

I absolutely loved my time at Lacy Oasis! I wad the only camper there at the time, and it felt very private. The whole time I was surrounded by beautiful, peaceful, quiet forest. The host is amazing as well, showing me all around camp, and checking in occasionally to make sure I had everything I needed. I definitely recommend staying here, and would like to come back again! :) Thank you for the great time! <3
