38mi from Upper Allen · 16 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging · Pine Grove, PA
The 66-acre property has been licensed as an airport (PS20) since the 1980s. It is currently an active, private airport. We don't sell fuel or offer services beyond camping so we primarily have only air traffic with few to no landings each year. In other words, it is very quiet here except during the occasional low pass. We are very eager for pilots to fly in and camp out! The beautiful sunsets and stargazing night skies are a real treat for anyone that comes to visit. Lots of deer, birds, and other wildlife can be seen out and about. Bring your telescope and binoculars to view all the property has to offer! Note that we are always working to improve our slice of heaven, thus we do have tools, vehicles, and equipment stored around the farm that if not used now will be one day. We appreciate your understanding that some areas are used for our personal / farm storage. If you're not into looking at our farmware, there are a few nearby campgrounds. The hot tub is located next to the owner's home. Guests are welcome to use this at any time but must reserve and pay for a time slot. * Book this through the Extras * We are within walking distance of Swatara State Park and close to the Appalachian Trail. Short drive to the local winery, bowling alley, pub/diner, and movie theater. Grocery stores and gas are also nearby. Miles of hiking, rail trail, single-track mountain biking, and kayaking are all right here! See our kayak and bike rentals under extras! Hershey Park is approximately a 30-minute drive from our location. Rausch Creek, Anthracite, and Reading off-road areas are also nearby. Note: Monthly rental discounts are available. Work-stay exchange programs are available. We are always looking for good reliable part-time help on the farm! Please ask! Fall leaves colors are looking awesome! Come enjoy the leaves by day and stars by night beside your campfire! Follow us on Instagram: @fairview_farms_airfield

Willows Farm is a beautiful 165 acre, regenerative, cattle farm, raising 100% grass finished beef and high quality hay. We are excited to announce that we have our first 100% grass finished beef ready and waiting (May 2023) for your purchase here at the farm. Give Curtis a call at 301.252.1122 Our farm is family owned and operated and is located in the beautiful rolling hills of northeast Frederick County in Union Bridge Maryland, just off route 75 on a quiet, country road. Please note the farm entrance address is 11935 Simpsons Mill Road, Keymar, MD, but the farm is technically located in Union Bridge. Enjoy the peace and quiet of nature and relax near the campfire with your wood fired dinner. This site has electric and water hookup and firewood is available for a small fee. The campsite is situated at the highest point of Willows Farm, offering tranquil farm views, gorgeous mountain vistas and spectacular sunsets. Soak up the beautiful countryside during your stay on the farm and hike our 25 acres of wooded property and chase a few bunnies and spot a herd of deer. Take a brisk walk to the cattle pastures and chat with our curious and friendly Black Angus heifers, Eleni, Lola and Maggie and say hi to our horse Albe. All of the fencing at Willows Farm is electric to keep our cattle and horse in and you will get shocked if you touch it. Please be mindful of this with your pets and children. If you are fortunate enough to have the timing right, you can even watch an airplane take off and land on our farm grass strip — "Willows Landing", which is just to the north (cardinal direction) of the campsite. Just 30 minutes to Gettysburg battlefields, historical downtown Frederick, and many other exciting places for exploration, Willows Farm is a great location for fun! Spend an evening watching Bull riding and barrel racing at J Bar W Ranch just a few minutes down the street in Johnsville. If vineyards and breweries are your thing we are just 15 - 30 minutes from many fine establishments. A few of our favorites are Black Ankle Vineyards, Linganore Winecellars and Attaboy Beer. Antique shopping abounds in the nearby charming, little town of New Market. So you're hungry and have a hankering for local cuisine? Take a five minute drive to the quaint downtown of Union Bridge and visit one of the three delicious family run restaurants. You can even take a few minutes to give your truck a bath at the Union Bridge Car Wash in the middle of town. Enjoy your stay and please contact us if we can help with anything.

The camp sites on our farm are dry (for now) but we DO have a toilet that is cleaned regularly right by the sites. We have three leveled gravel RV/Camper spots, which are large compared to most campgrounds. The sites are pull through for most RVs and Trailers. We provide fire rings and campfire wood (assuming we have it available). Our farm is an operational farm with livestock and you will be camping right by our horse pasture. Our location is convenient. We are right off of I-81 and State route 22. Minutes from Hersheypark, Hollywood Casino and Penn National Race Course, The PA Renaissance Faire, as well as Ft. Indiantown Gap and Memorial Lake State Park. If you are a hiker, the Appalachian Trail is minutes from our farm. Our sites are easy access off the main road. We are in a friendly agricultural neighborhood with very little traffic or noise other than the light hum of I-81 in the distance. Wildlife is plentiful in our area and you can hike from our farm to Levitz Community Park (or drive if you prefer) to interact some great nature or have a picnic. Our goal is to be accommodating and provide our guests with the best experience possible while here. Got questions? We can help! Just ask!

Fredericksburg PA Farm Glamping

4. Fredericksburg PA Farm Glamping

38mi from Upper Allen · 1 site · Lodging · Fredericksburg, PA
Saddle up for a one-of-a-kind escape where farm life meets frontier luxury! Nestled in the rolling fields of Fredericksburg, PA—just a short ride from Hershey’s sweet attractions—our farm stay invites you to trade city lights for starlit skies and crisp country air. Wake up to the gentle sounds of farm animals just a short walk from your tent—from clucking hens to friendly goats—and maybe even lend a hand with the morning horse feedings. By day, explore local hiking and biking trails, cast a line in nearby creeks, or mosey over to Hershey (about 25 minutes away) for roller coasters and world-famous chocolate. By night, kick back by the fire, swap stories under a blanket of stars, and let the rustic cowboy spirit carry you away. 🛖 Your Tent Stay Our all-weather 20-foot tents are built tough to withstand the elements—including rain—and cozy enough to keep you comfortable year-round. These four-season canvas tents are designed to handle sun, wind, and rain, so no matter the forecast, you’ll be high, dry, and cozy. Don’t worry—they don’t have wheels (no rolling away in the wind 😅); they’re securely anchored for safety. Tent Specs (straight from the manual): Diameter: 19’6” (about 289 sq. ft.—as roomy as a studio apartment) Center Height: 11’ tall (yes, you can stand up and lasso imaginary cattle inside) Wall Height: 3’ (adds extra vertical space, not your average tent slope) Door Height: 6’6” (no crouching cowboy entrance required) Material: Waterproof, breathable cotton canvas—built to handle the elements Inside, you’ll find a queen-size bed (perfect for two guests) with simple rustic furnishings. At the host’s discretion, a third guest or child may be added with an air mattress for an additional charge—just be sure to contact us ahead of time. 👉 A quick reality check: This is still camping. You won’t find a minibar, room service, or turndown service. What you will find is the perfect mix of comfort and the great outdoors—sleeping in a real bed while listening to the crickets sing outside your tent flap. So bring your sense of adventure, your favorite snacks, and maybe your cowboy hat—you’ll have plenty of room to settle in and plenty of fresh air to go with it.
