Beautiful campsite! We stayed at Tall Oaks and it was just as the others said - far enough removed from the other campsites and at the end of the access road so as to make it very private. The site included a grill, fire pit, trash bins, and picnic table which was immensely helpful! The only thing to be conscious of it that the main area to pitch our tent was relatively flat, but not perfectly flat. It was fine for 2 nights as long as you make sure you flip your beds around not to sleep on the downhill 🙃 All considered, we still LOVED this campsite and will absolutely return in the future!

We very much enjoyed our stay at Grouseland. Mason was a great host, he showed us our site and went over where everything was on a map. He and his family have amazing campsites with beautiful scenic overlooks. Their amenities all worked out perfectly - including your own private port a potty at each site (there’s also a camp house bathroom with shower - about a 5 min walk), picnic table, bench, charcoal grill, trash can, and string lights when it gets dark. It’s also a magical sight to see the mass amount of stars at night. We had a wonderful time and we will be back again. Thank you Mason and family for sharing your space.

We loved our time up on the mountain! We were coming from the DC area and Mason was very accommodating for our arrival time. He met us as soon as we got there and escorted us to our spot. There was some firewood waiting for us and he answered any questions we had. The spot itself was spacious and well spaced out. We could see the lights from the next spot but we were at the end of the road and had the place to ourselves. The view was gorgeous, especially with the fall colors coming in. Each spot has its own portapot which is nice. Flush toilet, shower, and water supply were a short car ride away by the entrance. If you plan on having a fire going all the time you'll want to bring some extra wood or buy some in the area or off of Mason. This place is a great jumping off point for the surrounding towns and the country roads were a treat. We will definitely be coming back very soon! We both highly recommend this place. You are guaranteed to have an amazing, peaceful time.

Ridge Top Retreat is, by far, the most unique and well-done Hipcamps I’ve visited. The interior of the tent is beautifully decorated and the propane furnace kept it toasty warm on a cool fall evening. The “outhouse” has a portable toilet and a hot shower with an instant water heater powered by solar panels. The host provided plenty of firewood and even started a fire for us! With no ambient light, the stars and Milky Way were beautiful! The setting is gorgeous, set on a high spot with an incredible view across the hayfield to a beautiful country church and cemetery. I highly recommend this very special place.

Weekend Trip to Paradise By The Pond

This is truly a perfect spot! Very private and quiet, our dogs loved the freedom! Level, gravel area for our 26’ toy hauler. BEAUTIFUL sunsets! Yvonne is a responsive host. This was our 2nd visit and we will definitely be back next year!

Weekend Trip to Grouseland Hospitality

This was the third year for us at Grouseland and it was just as amazing as ever! The views and privacy never gets old. Best weekend ever! Doesn’t hurt that we got engaged there this weekend! :)
