Our experience with this farm was a bit different than most people’s stays, as we’re an organization that supported a family in need by placing our transitional housing camper here for 28 days. From the moment we arrived, Seth and Stephanie were incredibly warm and welcoming, giving the family the space and grace they needed to heal and transition during a difficult time.
The farm was absolutely the perfect setting for this season of life. The open fields and natural views provided a peaceful, restorative environment that you simply can’t find in more traditional settings. There’s something deeply healing about being surrounded by nature and wide-open spaces.
The kids were entertained watching the chickens, geese, turkeys, and sheep wandering about the property. These simple joys made such a meaningful difference during their stay and created sweet memories during a challenging transition.
I would highly recommend this spot to anyone traveling through the area, but also to locals who want a new taste of their own community. This farm offered our family something truly special - a safe harbor and a chance to experience beauty and peace during a time they needed it most. Seth and Stephanie’s kindness and the tranquil setting made all the difference.
Thank you for opening your property to families like ours!

Awesome spot right on the river. Was well setup and provided all the essentials to make it comfortable. Easy to check in and out and the whole weekend went smooth.

Everything was clean and well maintained. Loved the wooden platforms, string of lights, fire pit. Unexpected bonus was some firewood and two hammocks already set up. Gorgeous view of the river and so convenient to the bike trail. Check in was a breeze. Note: As an active freight rail line goes alongside the bike trail and river, do expect train whistles and noise several times a night.

Spent the weekend camping at the Main Barn at Redemption Springs Farm and what a unique experience it was. This is a working farm with healthy sustainable and natural farming methods. There are a lot of chickens, ducks and turkeys on this farm, with a couple of chatty geese and a sheep. Seth greeted us and he and his family could not have been more welcoming. It's a working farm so you could see them out and about caring for the animals or helping people at their farm store they run (really good food available for purchase, made sure to load up before leaving, plus you don't need to bring everything with you). Seth took time out to talk to us about their farming methods, the heritage breeds they have selected and raised and what goes into the produce they sell. It's a lot of fun watching the birds wandering around the farm as they are completely free range. They'll come near your campsite but will leave you alone but have no fear of humans so you can really watch them up close. The farm is very pretty, good camp site behind the barn, there is electricity, you can use a hose pipe for water if you need it, or use their natural spring water. There's wood for sale, eggs so fresh because they were laid that morning and so on.
The location is only a few minutes from Westminster if you need city type things, but you can't tell out on the farm, you feel like you're way out in the country, no traffic noise or anything.
It was a very relaxing place to stay, will definitely return!

This was a perfect overnight weekend for the grands and us. Only an hour from DC we slept under the stars in the pasture where heritage chickens, turkeys and ducks freely roam. We ate delicious eggs and sourdough bread from their farm. Don’t miss getting tickets for the farm tour. Seth is a perfect host farmer!

This was a very peaceful place to stay. The 20 amp power suited our needs just fine. The little store on site had super fresh milk by the gallon and great snacks and treats for our dog and tons of meat options to purchase. Seth and his beautiful wife Stephanie were delightful and they have a little boy who was beyond adorable.
Added bonus: There’s a sheep that wanders around who thinks he’s a dog. His name is Aiden. He loves head scratches.

The camp site was clean and well kept with a great view overlooking the river with easy river access right off the camp site. The camp ground only has a few sites which was nice as it was quiet and peaceful the whole time. We will definitely go back again!

We stayed at River Golf Lodge while traveling for the World IBO Archery Tournament with a group of 11 people, and it was an absolute gem!
From the start, the customer service was excellent warm, friendly, and welcoming. The property was spotless, with a gorgeous overlook of the river that made mornings and evenings feel extra special. The whole vibe of the place is peaceful and zen-like, the perfect escape from a busy travel schedule.
A highlight of our stay was definitely the hippie shower. It was incredible ,such a unique and refreshing experience! Honestly, with our large group, we wished there were a couple more of them. The host kindly gave us access to another indoor shower in the lodge, but everyone loved the outdoor one so much that no one wanted to use the other.
There was plenty of room for both our campers and our people, which made logistics a breeze. The host was lovely, and the combination of relaxing surroundings, river views, and thoughtful touches made this a stay we’ll remember.
We’d absolutely come back! hopefully to find a few more of those amazing hippie showers next time!

Beautiful property and animals, would recommend to others. I wish we got to stay for longer because we got there late and left early morning so we were unable to visit the store.

Anna was quick to respond with any questions we had. Property is private and pool was just the perfect addition for some of the hottest days we have had this year! Just a great place to camp. Can't wait to return in the fall.. plenty of nature to see. Thank You to this couple who go out of their way to make your camping trouble free.

This riverfront campsite was everything we expected it to be and more! From check-in to check-out, we had the site completely to ourselves. We have 2 reactive dogs, and are always worried about interacting with other dogs at crowded campgrounds. This trip, our dogs were more relaxed than ever, were able to roam the entire site, and exhausted themselves from all the zoomies!! We were rained in most of our second day there, but still had plenty of fun. There was a full shower bag provided, full basin of water for the hand-washing sink, and surprisingly clean bathroom amenities. There are 2 wooden platforms closer to the water, and 1 larger platform toward the back of the site where we set up our tent. All 3 were very well-maintained. There are string lights set up, but you need to rent/have a generator to power them. The fire pit was great, and we had purchased the $10 firewood bundle - Zach left 2 bundles for us in the covered kitchen area. Lastly, if you’re looking to fish, we caught a good sized rainbow trout and a baby catfish! Great trip overall.

We used this site as a way to test drive some updates made to our RV, and the area was super private, the amenities all worked perfectly, and the host was super helpful and communicative with any questions throughout the stay! The pool was also an awesome touch given the July heat. Would definitely recommend and stay here again if needed!

Beautiful, well maintained, private, fishing, river trail is a stone throw away, great fire pit for cooking, and many more great things at this campsite
This is my favorite way to camp, sleeping next to water with no one around but my family.
