The property includes a 34X24 pavilion, a swing set, a fire pit, a portapotty, a porch swing, picnic tables, etc. It is located directly on the West Branch of the Conococheague Creek. You can enjoy kayaking, fishing, being right on the creek, and peace and quiet. There is also a mowed section along the creek that allows you easy access to the water with a small rock-style beach. The land is pretty much all flat and you can pitch a tent/s anywhere. There is plenty of room to park a camper/rv in multiple locations.

Update for late May-June: The river level has dropped nicely, and it is officially swimming season!!! Also, the first fireflies have been spotted and within a week or two their numbers at camp in the evenings will be Biblical.
A few details about our sites in the general camping area (sites 1-11): Sites 1, 3, 8,9,10&11 have 13x20 shade sails, 2,4,5,6&7 have 10x13 shade sails that are also weatherproof. For larger groups, I recommend any of the sites with the larger shade sails as they have a bit more space than the others.
Experience the beauty of this historic property featuring a mix of woodland, grassy hilltops, and clover filled bottomlands. Enjoy the nearly direct access to the CO Canal Historic Park and the kid friendly, serene stretch of the Potomac River we border. Choose from 11 similar sites available for your camping pleasure in our clover filled bottomland as well as our Hilltop sites for maximum privacy, exclusivity and star gazing potential. The surrounding old growth forest makes for a great hiking and biking as well as a very accessible and kid friendly cave to explore. All sites now have either 10x13 or 13x20 shade sails available to keep the afternoon sun at bay: recommended.
We have two kayaks on site free of charge. We have some life vests, but if you have your own, bring those along. The river's main beach located between sites 7 and 8, is shaded/filtered sun all day long while our smaller beach at site 1 is sunny most of the day and affords some of the nicest river lounging via a rock ledge that spans
4wd or All Wheel Drive are recommended. If it's been relatively dry, single wheel cars are 100% fine. We have ways to mitigate most weather events.
Please pre-order firewood and/or shade sails via a message to me when booking your stay and save the 18% "booking fee" or add them via the "extras" section for your site so I can have it waiting for you. $40 buys you a long night's ++ burn worth of well-seasoned hardwood. Cash venmo paypal zelle all accepted upon arrival. If ordering firewood using the "extra" feature, 1 load is $20.00 which is a 1/2 nights supply. Order 2 if you want a full night/morning supply. I will credit unused wood with a nominal restocking fee.

Nestled within 45 acres of wooded hills and valleys, Estes Place offers a tranquil retreat just 5 miles from the Town of Hancock. Situated near the scenic C&O Rail Trail, ideal for paved walking, running, and biking, our location also boasts proximity to popular eateries such as IHOP, Burger King, Pizza Hut, and a variety of local dining options.
With capacity for over a dozen tent sites, each offering unique accessibility, seclusion, and amenities, Estes Place caters to a range of camping preferences. Our two main sites feature fire rings for campfires (weather permitting), along with a porta-potty for convenience. Site one is accessible to small campers and pop-up trailers, while sites 3 and beyond are accessible by walking, backpacking, ATV, or very small compact 4WD vehicles.
Explore approximately 2 miles of moderate to intense loop hiking trails and gravel roads, meandering past half a dozen year-round streams and foot-long waterfalls teeming with salamanders, frogs, and crayfish.
Experience the vibrant wildlife that inhabits our surroundings, from daily sightings of deer and squirrels to nightly visits from barred owls and bats. Keep an eye out for occasional appearances by turkey, sapsuckers, woodpeckers, porcupines, raccoons, foxes, and coyotes, with the possibility of encountering a black bear annually and even a rare sighting of a mountain lion. During March through June, lucky visitors may stumble upon up to 8-inch black morel mushrooms, while certain years bring the elusive cicada and their deafening buzz. Summer nights are illuminated by enchanting displays of lightning bugs (fireflies) amidst the warmer temperatures.

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 loved staying at Greg's land. He was very accommodating for us in the situation we were in with the weather and helping us stay as dry as we could with all the rain from the weekend storms. The area is absolutely beautiful with plenty of things to do around the camping area. Greg was very good at checking up on us and making sure that we had everything we needed to make the time we stayed there a success. I would gladly stay here again and will be recommending it to others in the future.

We enjoyed our stay and will be back. Super easy to get to, not crowded or loud being next to the towpath. Nice host who checks in occasionally. Simple, basic, no complaints. Will return.
(We used an adventure trailer that weighs about 1000 pounds with our kayaks on it. We were able to tow it out of the campground up the hill in our ancient underpowered jeep. It’s a big hill but a regular car can get up and down no problem).

We absolutely love Greg's campsite. Great for a day out on the water, fishing, or birding.
We saw Bald Eagles, Osprey, Green Heron, Great Blue Heron, Hawks, and more.
Greg's a great dude, and helped me transport my incredibly heavy kayak.
I'd personally give this site a 9 out of 10, I want to give it a 10 but I can for these reasons: The trail to get to the water is short, but very very steep and I've got bad knees so it kinda sucks. The driving path to get to the site is also incredibly steep and my tiny car BARELY made it up after 4 unsuccessful attempts.

We had the best weekend getaway. Loved the views from our campsite and taking walks around the farm. Excellent hospitality and really enjoyed the the distillery tour, tasting and special barrel tasting. Great host & location. Short drive to many distilleries, breweries and wineries. Can't wait to return to visit Pathfinders Distillery in Boonsboro again as well as other new locations.

Great camping spot with an amazing setup for outdoor activities. The access to the water was perfect for fishing and kayaking, making it easy to enjoy the whole day outside. One of the highlights was the cavern only about a 1.2 mile walk away — definitely worth the short hike. Peaceful, scenic, and a great place to relax and explore. We’ll definitely be back!

Beautiful location!
Greg was easy to communicate with & went above & beyond making his sites comfy & shaded.
Only stayed one night but we were able to take a great walk along the canal path that is down the hill before you get to river.
We were saying how we’d like to stay longer next time while exiting & almost didn’t make it out!!
Unfortunately, the grade back to the driveway was too steep for us. Would not recommend anything but a four-wheel-drive vehicle for both upper AND lower campsites. We were driving a converted ram Promaster 3500 extended.
Our running boards did not fare well would’ve loved to return but not worth it without 4WD.
