Dee was so kind and her land was the perfect place to spend a fall night. Enjoyed bluegrass at the winery across the street in the evening, and awoke the next morning to a beautiful sunrise and deer grazing right outside the car. You can tell the area is rich with wildlife. Well worth the trip and $. :) Thanks Dee!

Tent
I loved tent camping on Dee's land. Dee warmly met me upon arrival. The area was secluded and I felt like I had to whole place to myself. The location was less than 10 minutes from Sweet Run State Park which I had plans to explore. There was also a brewery/winery right up the road that I didn't get the chance to try, but definitely a bonus to this spot!

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!

Lovely spot along the river. Not terribly private, but everyone is friendly and kind! My pup had a lot of fun and got to ride on a kayak for the first time.

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.

Tent
Great location right off the water. Plenty of launch space for paddle boards and kayaks. We tent camped so I can’t speak for the RV hookups but lots of space to rest/relax and let the dog run around. Fire pits very nice, quite a few neighboring campers but not noisy in the evening and no traffic noise once the sun went down. Very close to town for supplies and shops for anything we needed. Will definitely consider for future rentals when we’re in the area.

Hannah’s place was delightful—I camped in a shady spot under some tall trees, and it was quiet (though a lot of bugs in summer—was happy I had my screen tent for kitchen use). Once or twice a group of horse riders went past my site, and there seemed to be a horse who wandered over near me at night and was snorting and making noises at me :) Hannah was very responsive and no problems at all!

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.

The property owner was very nice and accommodating, the place to park was level and mowed, very pretty / isolated woods setting / quiet and peaceful. Entry driveway has some low hanging vines and branches - as low as 7-8 feet. My STO Beast is over 10 feet tall, so there was some slow going to push past. Normal cars should be fine. I was comfortable with my van (based on 19 foot Sprinter), however, I would not have been comfortable driving my previous Class C in there (Winnebago View) - not enough room and the roads are a little rough / narrow for that. Stay was great and just what I was looking for.

This was our first Hipcamp stay and it was amazing! Seth was a great host and so accommodating, his love of regenerative farming resonates and we enjoyed learning more about this farming method and the importance of heritage breeds. The livestock were so chill yet playful with one another. The cows and sheep cohabitating and taking naps together, and how robust and colorful the feathered friends were! Arvin the sheep is not shy and very approachable, loves attention and getting rubs.
Went to their Farm Store and bought beef, pork, chicken, yogurt smoothies, butter, eggs, and rolls. Eggs were fluffy and wonderful, smoothies fantastic, and I made wontons with the ground pork--they were the juiciest and flavorful! Met Jonathan the blacksmith at the store and we had a great conversation with him, he offered recommendations of nearby places to visit, and even joined us for breakfast! The experience was absolutely memorable and we enjoyed every moment including Arvin jumping into our teardrop!
Thank you Seth and family for this amazing experience, we look forward to visiting again soon, and we highly recommend Redemption Springs Farm! ❣️

Secluded spot with lots of animals to watch and enjoy. We spent 2 nights, being away during the day visiting family. There’s electric and water hookups but none for sewage. Pretty farmland view and a welcoming host. Wish we’d had a chance to try some of their homegrown food. Guinevere the goose was the highlight for me, so friendly! Thank you Seth.

Most campers enjoy the unique-things along the way. This place is one of those stops along the way. Ours was an in-and-out, overnight respite from the road. Directions were perfect, always a plus.. too often a surprise. Seth greeted us, as we texted him about 30mins out.
Seth and his family run this unique farm 'Redemption Springs'. Google them, as they are doing 'it' old-school. Ya know, when food was genuine ... not corporate farmed. Just know you will meet many new creatures you'd expect. Aiden the Ram (yes, a RAM) was particularly memorable. He greeted us like a welcoming puppy.We purchased some goodies from their store while there. I wish they were local to us....
The site was too easy. We drove in and out, effortlessly. Strongly recommended!!
