Weekend Trip to Bears Den Campground

Great site with plenty of room for two families. The property has some great trails, and the overlook doesn’t disappoint.

Weekend Trip to Taylors Landing Camping Club

My family and I had an incredible experience camping at Taylors Landing Campground, specifically at site 6, and I can’t recommend it enough! The campground is absolutely stunning, surrounded by lush tree lines that create a serene, natural enclosure. The layout is perfect—campsites line one edge, leaving the center and far side open for activities, which gives the place a spacious, community-oriented vibe. Site 6, like the others, was impressively roomy, easily accommodating our large group with plenty of space between us and our neighbors, making it feel private yet connected. One of the highlights was the nearby cave, which made for a fantastic casual hike. Our kiddo was thrilled exploring it, and it was just the right level of adventure for a family outing. The host, Greg, truly elevated the experience. He was incredibly friendly, always checking in to ensure everyone’s needs were met. Greg also organized a variety of activities for all campers, including frisbee golf, volleyball, and badminton, which kept everyone entertained and fostered a fun, communal atmosphere. From the scenic beauty to the thoughtful amenities and Greg’s exceptional hospitality, Taylors Landing Campground exceeded our expectations. We’re already looking forward to our next trip back!

Weekend Trip to Taylors Landing Camping Club

It was right on the C&O canal which was really nice. I recommend site 11 since it’s on the edge of a row of campsites and you won’t have other people on both sides. Host provided more than plenty of firewood.

Weekend Trip to Narrow Gate Farm

We had an amazing stay at Narrow Gate Farm! The site was spacious, easy to access, and equipped with 50 amp power and water. The kids had a blast playing with the friendly farm dogs and the host, Jim, was incredibly friendly and easy to reach if we needed anything. It’s a peaceful, well-kept spot with beautiful views. We’ll definitely be back!

Weekend Trip to Taylors Landing Camping Club

Greg was a wonderful host! The place was well maintained and as advertised. Unfortunately some recent flooding meant we couldn’t really access the river during our Memorial Day stay, but everything else was exactly as expected. He has a number of large dogs that roam the property with him, and lots of dogs staying at the campsites. It’s not a good spot if you are afraid of dogs or if you have a reactive dog. If you have a friendly and responsive dog though it’s fabulous for them! It’s also very kid friendly. The sites are very visible to one another, but spaced far apart in the field so you have lots of room to spread out. The porta potty’s are well maintained. Greg brings potable water and checks in periodically. He fixed our shade sail and offered more firewood as needed. The entryway to the camping area is a little steep and required some confidence to get the cars in and out, but was totally doable with both our CRV and our Honda Fit. Overall a very pleasant experience. I’d go back!

Great campsite and Greg is very accommodating! Great location, firewood delivery, canopies. Etc

Weekend Trip to Taylors Landing Camping Club

We had a great Memorial Day weekend camping on hilltop 2 with a group of 15 which accommodated us perfectly. Greg was very helpful! Definitely recommend buying the firewood from him it’s so convenient to pull up and have everything there. He was also so helpful by delivering us water, being very available and communicative. Everyone loved the site so much. The view out from the hill was beautiful- we felt very connected to nature being surrounded by the sounds of the forest. We enjoyed walking on the C&O canal towpath and visiting Antietam and Shepardstown one day. We also got excellent kombucha from Boochy Call brewery just up the road from the campsite. The sun canopy was also really nice to have in the midday. The other thing I would add is that compared with hilltop 1, with the sweeping views out to the further hills, the view is less expansive, but still great. It also has a huge advantage of feeling truly private since you have to walk to hilltop 1 to use the porta potty and pass it as you enter/exit the site. Overall such an amazing trip, it felt like really elevated, easy, enjoyable camping. Such a great place to host a large group, I would return in a heartbeat. The other thing that was awesome was Tula the sweet campground cat, who came and hung out with us during our trip.

Weekend Trip to Taylors Landing Camping Club

Greg is super friendly and welcoming! The hilltop is probably the best site in my opinion as it is high up and away from everyone else. Beautiful views. The site was super clean. One of our favorite Hipcamp sites!

Weekend Trip to Bears Den Campground

Loved the experience! Just have to be ready for a more primitive site (e.g., outhouse instead of a toilet). Kids had a great time. The only thing I wish it had was a grill for the fire pits but even without it I would come back here.

Weekend Trip to Riverside Farm by the Monocacy

Riverside farm has proven to be a excellent getaway each time I visit. Private sites with views of the river always make for a great trip.

Weekend Trip to Cross Creek Farm

Great spot, comfy beds, and cute set-up. We had a fire and did some stargazing!

Weekend Trip to River Farm

We loved this place. We are planning our next trip here later this summer so we can swim and fish. It may be on the more expensive side, but the privacy is so worth it. There is a bathroom and shower located at the main barn. Just make sure you follow the posted directions. We had Xfinity service and it was spotty. But was nice though not be on them! We explored some local breweries and can’t wait to explore more. We recommend Chilly Hollow Brewing!

Weekend Trip to Piedmont Farm

We had an awesome tent camping trip at Walnut Grove. There was plenty of room for our tree small tents and five people. It was beautiful. We saw lots of fun local wildlife. Incredible weekend.

Weekend Trip to Beaver Cove

As an avid HipCamper, I have to say this is my favorite spot we’ve been to! Privacy was top tier, hosts were very lovely and helpful.

Weekend Trip to HUNTER'S PARK BY WASHINGTON, DC

it was a great time staying here. first time taking my son camping and it was great. we chose the farm so he could be occupied through the trip. there’s lots of horses, chickens and peacocks! all the animals were extremely friendly which made the trip worth while. we got to pick eggs, and feed the animals.Keith, his wife and all the farm staff were very friendly and accommodating! the tent sites are near each-other, but still felt like you’re alone and had a nice private area. the river running by the sites is so beautiful and relaxing. we had a great stay.

Weekend Trip to Fiddlers Green Farm

Excellent stay! Very accommodating and in a beautiful location. We experienced some unexpected heavy rain that cut our trip a bit short, but otherwise, the area was stunning. Our campsite was secluded from the others which allowed our group privacy. We would definitely camp there again!

Weekend Trip to Riverside Farm by the Monocacy

Beautiful sites right near the water. I got to take my two sons and their grandfather out; first camping trip my youngest. We had a blast. One tip: after crossing the stream, you’ll see a bunch of mud that one car got stuck in. BUT! They’ve carved a trail in the grass that circles around it and makes it easy to skip the mud altogether. The meadow is perfect for exploring; my kids got to see lots of new species of insects and flowers that they are still talking about. We look forward to booking again.

Weekend Trip to Riverside Farm by the Monocacy

Great spot for a night of camping with kids! We were at Ellie’s favorite and the river view was beautiful, although we came right after major rain so it was too muddy to get close to the river. Bugs were not a problem and our girls enjoyed just running around the fields near our campsite! Firewood was provided and Jon-Mikel was very responsive and helped us get our city car out of the mud (if you’re coming in rainy springtime, AWD is not enough and you’ll need 4WD - or park at the entrance and hike in with your gear).

Weekend Trip to Narrow Gate Farm

Camping on a working horse farm was great. Friendly dogs would visit our campsite to play. Black lab was inexhaustible playing fetch. Jim was very friendly and offered us firewood and help if we needed anything.

2 nights at Fiddlers Green Farm

Camping was awesome! Site was great and well maintained. Highly recommend

Riverside Farm by the Monocacy

7 sites · Tents30 acres · Walkersville, MD

PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE DESCRIPTION BEFORE BOOKING... 30 acres of mostly reclaimed farmland. We are located where Glade Creek flows into the Monocacy River. There is evidence of civil war activity here and the old river ford is on our property. Creek and river access make this a beautiful, peaceful place that is full of life. The energy here is overwhelmingly positive. Our house was built in the 1850s and the neighboring farm was built shortly after—lots of history on this property. You will be able to camp right next to Glade Creek which is always cool, clean, and refreshing. Our goal with opening the land up for camping is to eventually phase out commercial farming on the property and transform it into woodlands using native plants and trees. We've already started by planting hundreds of native tree species along the creek and river banks. Each camper gets us closer to that goal! Thanks for your support! See our map in the gallery for a complete overview of our property including site locations. Please note that you will need to drive back through the crossing to access the portable toilet. Property occasionally floods. Zero flash floods, just slow river overflow. Check this site for flooding info. https://water.weather.gov/ahps2/hydrograph.php?gage=fdkm2 Flood stage is 15 feet.
