We sit on 17 acres set back from the road away surrounded by the mountains. We are in the hollow and have a small creek running through the woods on our property. We see lots of wildlife and beautiful sunsets. It is very peaceful yet we are very close to Gettysburg for sight seeing and Liberty Mountain Resort for golfing in the warm weather and snow sports in the winter.

We are a small, working farm and apiary. Located back a gravel farm lane, Old Soul Farm is the perfect place to getaway from it all and still be within 10 minutes of the Gettysburg Battlefield.

When you come here you are experiencing the rebirth of farming in this country while getting to connect with the natural world.
This historic piece of preserved farmland has been in our family for 5 generations. The property is just over 100 acres with about half in forest conservation. We have two streams that join one another and create an amazing habitat for all kinds of wildlife.
Our farm has always been a fun and healing place for our friends and family to gather. We love sharing the peaceful seclusion here with folks who enjoy and respect nature. We are a certified organic farm in the early stages of transforming it into a fully regenerative, permaculture operation.
We grow hemp, medicinal herbs, and small grains as well as keep bees and a small tribe of goats.
We'd love to have you!

About Tyme Farm is a 26 plus acre privately owned farm used for crops such as corn, soy beans and sunflowers. The property includes a 150+ year old stone farm house, large historic barn on the barn quilt tour in Carroll County, renovated camping cabin for those not into rough camping, fields, streams , woods for hiking, plenty of wild life and lots of quiet. The farm is surrounded by other farms in the agricultural preservation program yet you are only 5 miles from stores, movies, antiques and other aspects of civilization or entertainment if needed. Enjoy watching the deer come out of the woods and meander along the stream and fields at dusk and return in the morning. Electric, water, fire pit and a Port a Pot is available even for rough campers. Pets welcome but must be on a leash or exercise pen or with their owners in some way while here for their safety. There is a large fenced yard for dogs that just have to run if needed. Glamorous camping with a furnished heated/cooled cabin is available for rent by the night for those who do not have camping equipment or do not want to rough it. For those that have been camping before and have all the equipment there is plenty of room for a tent or camper near the buildings or by the stream or woods. For RV owners there is 50amp electric service in the barn. You will need an RV extension cord to access it. I have a 100 ft RV ext. cord but it can be farther than that depending on where you park. Bring one of your own to be sure. It is a farm and not set up like an RV park with numerous outlets.

PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE DESCRIPTION BEFORE BOOKING...
30 acres of mostly reclaimed farmland. We are located where Glade Creek flows into the Monocacy River. There is evidence of civil war activity here and the old river ford is on our property. Creek and river access make this a beautiful, peaceful place that is full of life. The energy here is overwhelmingly positive.
Our house was built in the 1850s and the neighboring farm was built shortly after—lots of history on this property. You will be able to camp right next to Glade Creek which is always cool, clean, and refreshing.
Our goal with opening the land up for camping is to eventually phase out commercial farming on the property and transform it into woodlands using native plants and trees. We've already started by planting hundreds of native tree species along the creek and river banks. Each camper gets us closer to that goal! Thanks for your support!
See our map in the gallery for a complete overview of our property including site locations. Please note that you will need to drive back through the crossing to access the portable toilet.
Property occasionally floods. Zero flash floods, just slow river overflow. Check this site for flooding info. https://water.weather.gov/ahps2/hydrograph.php?gage=fdkm2 Flood stage is 15 feet.
We HIGHLY recommend a vehicle with AWD or at least a decent ground clearance.

The camping spot was lovely under a big trees spread out and great for birding. The sites are pretty close together, if you have neighbors you will see them. Ours were great and respectful. Bill the host was super kind and helpful. He offered us to walk in the property, which had field, meadow, forest and a pond. Super quiet out there, along side a road with very minimal cars on it. We paid for wood and there was SO much for the campfire. Port a pot clean.
We had a great night and fire, but a rainy next day- so we went to New Oxford town and super enjoyed wandering so many unique antique shops and the coffee shop Deja Brew had SO many gluten free pastries/ desserts. We had a great experience at Ponderosa and also enjoyed the quaint town like 10 min away as we got out of the rain.

I had an amazing stay at Fiddlers Green Farm. The atmosphere is peaceful and welcoming, with beautiful open land and a true countryside feel. It’s the perfect place to unwind, relax, and enjoy nature away from the noise of the city.
The campsites are clean, spacious, and well-kept, with plenty of room to feel comfortable and private. Everything felt well organized, and the surroundings made the whole experience even better—especially during sunrise and sunset, which were absolutely stunning.
One of the best parts was how quiet and safe the area felt. It’s great for families, friends, or even solo campers looking for a calm getaway. The farm adds a unique charm that makes this spot stand out from typical campgrounds.
Overall, I highly recommend Fiddlers Green Farm to anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable camping experience. I’ll definitely be coming back again.

A quaint and charming little site with a variety of farm animals to gawk at. The owner was friendly and touched base with us as we arrived which was nice. Everything listed as an amenity was made available as described. We had pets and the landowners dog was off-leash and met ours, there was no incident but the owner should be a little more careful. Luckily our dogs are as friendly as theirs was. We enjoyed our time and would come back! 10/10!
