When you come here you are experiencing the rebirth of farming in this country while getting to connect with the natural world.
This historic piece of preserved farmland has been in our family for 5 generations. The property is just over 100 acres with about half in forest conservation. We have two streams that join one another and create an amazing habitat for all kinds of wildlife.
Our farm has always been a fun and healing place for our friends and family to gather. We love sharing the peaceful seclusion here with folks who enjoy and respect nature. We are a certified organic farm in the early stages of transforming it into a fully regenerative, permaculture operation.
We grow hemp, medicinal herbs, and small grains as well as keep bees and a small tribe of goats.
We'd love to have you!

21mi from Wolf Trap · 1 site · Tent, RV
Welcome to our private, family-owned retreat! For decades, we have provided nature-based community service programs that promote wellness, restoration, and relaxation. Artesian immerses guests in the healing properties of nature.
Artesian's Hidden Acres is a hidden gem located in a rural-residential district of Fort Washington and are currently suited for off-grid campers. We do not provide electricity, toilets, or running water, but we do provide privacy and a unique camping experience. So, pitch your tents, park your campers, and bring your water, cooking supplies, and power source - we'll provide the fire pit, a bundle of wood, birds, crickets, groundhogs, and tranquility. But, while you will feel secluded, we do have neighbors nearby so out of respect, please try to quiet down a bit after 9pm. Thanks!
In fact, bring your bike, hiking shoes, and fishing gear along too because the property is located just 4 miles from both the Henson Creek Trailhead (a scenic paved trail perfect for walking, jogging, and cycling) and Cosca Regional Park Hiking and Mountain Biking Trail (a 690-acre natural surface and paved trail with picnic areas, tennis courts, an equestrian trail network, and a lake for boating and fishing). Since we're on the subject of location, Artesian's Hidden Acres' rural-residential status gives you the best of both worlds. On the one hand, we are secluded and nestled in a private, 3-acre plat. On the other hand, we are in a residential community giving you quick (less than one mile) retail and restaurant access to Giant Food, gas stations, Auto Zone Auto Parts, fast-food restaurants, CVS, and more. We're also located 2 miles from Branch Avenue Metrorail Station; 5 miles from the MGM National Harbor & Tanger Outlets; 3.5 miles from Top Golf; 11 miles from Six Flags America; 10 miles from the DC Tidal Basin; 6 miles from Old Town Alexandria Waterfront; 8 miles from Fort Washington Park; and 10 miles from Watkins Regional Park.

Triple A Acres Private Forest Camp
5. Triple A Acres Private Forest Camp
26mi from Wolf Trap · 1 site · Tent, RV
Private 20+ acre forest retreat just 1 mile from the Indian Head Rail Trail and 10 minutes from the Potomac River.
Escape to Triple A Acres, a peaceful private campground nestled within 20+ acres of mature hardwood forest just outside Washington, DC. The property is dedicated to non-motorized recreation, offering a quiet retreat for campers looking to unwind in nature while still being close to modern conveniences.
While the setting feels secluded, you’re conveniently located just 1 mile from the Indian Head Rail Trail, making this a great stop for cyclists, hikers, and trail explorers. Great for cyclists riding the Indian Head Rail Trail who want a quiet overnight stop. Fast food and grocery stores are only 2.5 miles away, and the Marshall Hall boat launch on the Potomac River is about a 10-minute drive.
Access is simple via a recycled asphalt paved road leading to an approximately 40' × 60' paved camping and parking area suitable for tents, vans, or smaller RVs. The entrance driveway is somewhat steep, but AWD or vehicles with traction control generally have no issues. A 16' × 24' glamping pad is currently in development for future upgraded camping experiences.
Guests can explore a 0.5-mile nature trail winding through the forest, where many interior woodland species thrive in this protected setting. Adventurous explorers may also discover an intermittent stream that feeds into the Potomac River watershed.
Great for:
• Rail trail cyclists looking for a quiet overnight stop
• Campers wanting a secluded forest escape near Washington, DC
• Nature lovers interested in wildlife, hiking, and birdwatching
• Travelers who want privacy while staying close to food and supplies
Relax beneath the forest canopy, listen to the wind through the trees, and enjoy a quiet woodland retreat just minutes from the DMV.
Come experience the tranquility of Triple A Acres.

Peggy thank you for receiving me last night. I was able to find the firewood (more than enough) and the water pump. The sunset was 100% foggy and the pond was frozen, which was absolutely amazing for me. The night full of stars, and then a perfect sunset. Everything was good, beautiful, and safe. Regards.

Second time here and we love this camp. This time we tried out in winter/rain and we enjoyed it. Ben as always is a great host ! Very responsive. The site is neat as always and it looks like it has a new picnic bench too 😁 We had a surprise visit from the farm ambassador - Hopper the dog. Very sweet and friendly. Hopper and my dog had a blast in the morning running around. This is our favorite himpcamp spot around Frederick and will definitely be back again soon. It's great for family with kids and pets. Highly recommend!

I love this camp site and farm. The owners are really nice, welcoming, and helpful. The camp site is awesome - plenty of space and it's right by the creek. I love that it's wooded and feels secluded, even though Taneytown is only a few minutes away. The farm and property is picturesque, especially in the fall. It's seems like something more out of a movie than real life.
We will definitely be back again :)

Our stay at Bear Branch Creekside was seriously the best, start to finish! Benjamins communication was always prompt which made everything super easy. The whole site was clean and looked great. We had a blast exploring the fun well kept walking trails, and the creek was the perfect spot to just chill—plus, our son had a field day fishing! The fire pit was a major plus, especially since they had those thoughtful extra cooking grates available. We totally fell in love with the owners' dog, Hopper, too! We had such a good time in Hangtown and are already dying to go back. 10/10 recommend!

Tent camping @ Hipville was excellent. The area was well maintained with many paths cutting across the property. The water level was a bit low for effective fishing, but we dropped some lines anyway.
There was very limited prepared wood available when we arrived, and we needed to acquire more in the morning (not a difficult prospect).

This is a glorious, pristine farm w/ complete privacy & seclusion. I was the ONLY camper during my 2 nite stay. Peggy came out of her house to kindly greet me, then left me alone to pick anywhere on her 8 acres i wanted to set up. Nothing was off limits. Was in a yurt w/ 2 dogs they ran around like they owned the place. She was always avail however. Just a text, phone call away or even a holler up the hill. She had a huge burn pile ready for me to use but it was too windy & I set my tent up too close-so no campfire-boo my bad! Property consists mostly corn fields, a lovely pond, a barn & hog house. Lots of green mowed grass. Not totally level (somewhat hilly) but flat enough to set up camp. Lovely willow, maple, locust & walnut trees. The sun set over the pond in a blaze of color. Barn swallows graze the pond & a ground hogs munch dinner. Deer if you're lucky. Bring binoculars! There were ZERO mosquitos. I loved that Peggy was attune to my needs & happy to help without being nosy/overbearing. I felt a real kinship as she runs the place by herself & it's absolutely perfect. She's the real deal-a true blue hard-working farm woman. Empty Cupboard Farm is only a few minutes from all the shopping you'll need but private enough you can't hear a sound at night but cows, owls & crickets. At the top of farm is the infamous Red Door & tons of chestnuts to roast. Its very easy to find, very easy access in. Run, dont walk to EMPTY Cupboard Farm for a FULL renewing spiritual experience.

Ben is a great host, very responsive, and the site was perfect. It includes a full picnic table which was great, and the drive to the water source was very quick. We had a fabulous time tent camping there and my kids want to go back again. Definitely check ahead to see if there's firewood - we purchased some nearby on Ben's recommendation on our way in.

We had a great stay at Fiddlers Green Farm on the Hipville campsite. The site was private, spacious, shaded, and right along the creek…perfect for relaxing and exploring.
Our kids loved wandering the trails and exploring the property. They spotted blue herons, heard the resident owl, and had plenty of space to roam. One of the biggest highlights was Hopper, their sweet dog, who visited often and even acted as our trail guide.
The portapotty was clean and well stocked and Ben was a friendly, responsive host. The kids are already asking when we’ll be back—highly recommend!
