This property and farm has been in our family for 3 generations. In 1964 my grandfather started the campground due to limited camping at New Germany. My father tells stories of it being filled with guests all summer long! Over the years there was few upgrades and now it's in need of a facelift. Landscaping, electric upgrades and bathhouse remodels were completed Spring 2021. We will continue to renovate in phases it's been a labor of love, but you can still see the beauty of this rural location and enjoy the peace and quiet.
Hope you enjoy your stay.
Lots of trees, shade and nature. It's located near New Germany State Park, 1.5 miles by car, less than a mile by foot. The state park has a lake and hiking trails. Garrett County has so much to offer, waterfalls, lakes, hiking, skiing, Amish gifts, history, fresh air, beautiful scenery. The campground was first started in 1964 by my grandparents, we are currently completing renovations in phases.

This spot is best for a van camp location but plenty of space for tents and hammocks. You'll find a drive-up deck if you wish to park there. Firewood is available providing you use downfalls as kindling in the stone fire pit. A 8x20' deck and picnic table are 20 feet from the fire for stargazing. When the ferns are full grown they are 3 feet tall and everywhere. A 10 minute walk takes you through a dense pine forest with large rock formations and a nice creek with many gurgling fall areas. If there looks like a cave amongst the large rocks, then it probably is a bear den.
There is a lot to do near by. Some note worthy locations :
Cranberry Glade Lake (good for kayaking or fishing), Ohiopyle, 7 Springs, Fallingwater, Living Treasures, Caddie Shak, and Hidden Valley are all about 25 minutes away. This property also borders Laurel Ridge State Park.
There is a Dollar General and a gas station about 15 minutes away for convenience needs.

Whispered about as a “best kept secret” of the area, New Germany State Park is a mountain gem that is now yours to explore. Tucked away between the epic expanse of Big Savage Mountain and Meadow Mountain, this place is overflowing with lush, green beauty and forested goodness. Early settlers (from Germany, of course) found this place to be near and dear to heart, reminding them of their homelands—thus the name. There are 10 miles of trails that are just begging to be roamed, offering up scenic views of the diverse woodland here. There is also a small lake that is prime for fishing, dipping, and some classic canoeing. When your soul is begging to be unpluged from technology, this is the place to come.

I've owned this 35 acre property for over 20 years.
Originally purchased as an investment property, my family and friends that camp with us convinced me to keep it.
Now it is time to share our secluded happy place with other families and friends to enjoy the peace and beauty of being close to nature in a very secluded location yet close to services in town.

I've owned this property for over 20 years and I want to offer the opportunity for people to share the very private setting. Over the years, many people have enjoyed hanging out in our 20' x 32' party pavllion near the fire ring and the stream. Lots of room for multiple campers and RV's. Seasonal restrictions apply during snow periods and spring thaw periods.

Very easy to find, well kept, quiet campsite by the creek. Though the weather was quite cold, I really enjoyed my stay at Muddy Myst. The trails were easy to navigate and the pond was beautiful! Can’t wait to come back in the warmer months for a dip!!
Can’t thank you enough Liam enough for the complimentary coffee- much needed after waking up in 30 degrees!!!
Will definitely be back:)

This was our first stay at Muddy Myst after looking at it on Hipcamp for a while now! With the state parks closing it was the perfect time to try this place out, and it was amazing!! The hosts were amazing and made us feel right at home! Falling asleep listening to the creek all night was also amazing. Will definitely be back!!

Nice and quiet and secluded. Firewood was there. It was a cold night and was able to setup my tent no problem and park onsite. Directions to site were accurate. Note there is no phone service there, which was not an issue. Had the best night of sleep Ive had in years.

This is a great spot to tent camp under the trees, enjoy a campfire (with firewood supplied!), and stargaze at a relatively secluded spot. The hike down to the creek is beautiful! I would definitely return to this spot.

Had a great weekend at Redbank Retreat. With just a few lots, the place was amazing and peaceful. With the flowing creek just a few feet from our site and the bike and hiking trail within minutes it definitely is a gem. The owners were very nice and really made us feel at home as they made a check on us to make sure that everything was going well. The sites were clean and level making setup a breeze. A newly reconstructed boarding house with a few rental units within sits on the property as an alternative to trailer camping. Have to say that a five star rating is appropriate for this little piece of God’s Country. Thank you Clayton & Mandy!

We really enjoyed our camping experience at Muddy Myst. There was a ton of helpful information provided before our arrival and more available in the common area. The site felt private yet the common area and restroom were easy to access. I was particularly impressed with the extra touches, fall flowers on our picnic table, very nice soaps and air freshener in the impeccably clean bathroom, and a helpful space to clean up some dishes and get some hot water for cocoa in Hank's Hangout. This site is maintained lovingly.

The campsite was a little tricky to drive back to. Definitely a job for an SUV. That being said, once we pulled up it was nothing but fall leaves, green ferns and dense trees all the way around. Fire wood and a fire pit as promised. Perfect spot for our tent, camp chairs and the all important camp potty. We took our pup and had no issues whatsoever. It is a beautiful site. On Saturday we made our way to Ohiopyle for some hiking. We had a great time. I would definitely recommend this HipCamp.

I frequently camp at Muddy Myst with my dog. We’ve always had a good time and have never had a remotely bad experience. It is serene, clean and worth at least a night’s stay.

We absolutely loved Muddy Myst! The creek site was private and peaceful, and our kids had a blast exploring the creek, woods, and pond. The common area and restrooms were so nice and included many thoughtful touches. Liam was a wonderful host, and we look forward to coming back!

Wonderful Space removed from the road. Public Winery right across the street. Wildlife from wild turkey to Red tailed hawks were all around us. Hammock camping worked out well, but 4-6 Person tents also fit the deck quite well. I will be back!

Beautiful land with lots of ferns and hemlock. It was the perfect base camp for us to hike the Laurel highland trail and visit the nearby winery. We enjoyed the short hike down to the creek.

This was our second time staying here, and it was just as wonderful as the first. The privacy is something you just can’t get at a state park, and our dog loved having the space to run around. We cooked a camp meal, relaxed by the fire, and enjoyed the peaceful setting. Part of us wants to keep this place a secret, but it’s too good not to share!

Liam’s site was absolutely beautiful. The common areas were very clean and well stocked. The property was well maintained and easy to navigate. There were a lot of very thoughtful extra touches, even providing books in the common area, we got to read Bluey’s Camping book as a bed time story! The campsites are far enough apart that you feel like you have the whole place to yourself making for a very peaceful getaway. The pond and pool were clean and the kids had a blast swimming all day. This is a site that we will definitely keep coming back to!

Our summer isn’t complete without a visit to Muddy Myst. It’s already become a milestone spot for our daughter; she’s been here at six months and again at 1½ years, which says a lot about how connected and convenient this campsite is.
The setting is peaceful and private, with space to roam, try a little kayaking in the pond, and even enjoy the pool. The hosts are thoughtful, and the clean shared amenities, along with a stack of shared books, make it easy to stay here with a little one.
Muddy Myst blends quiet, nature, and comfort in a way that keeps us coming back. It’s not just camping, it’s where our family’s summer memories are made.
