Learn more about this land: This wooded area is 5 miles away from the Ohiopyle State Park whitewater launch area and GAP bike trail.

Fort Necessity National Battlefield is 5 miles away. There are numerous native trout streams in the area. Youghiogheny Reservoir is 7 miles away for fishing, boat rentals, and water-sports. The Fern House is the primary camp cabin on the property. Although if someone would want to park a "self contained" camper or small RV on the property we would permit the unit to occupy the area in front of the driveway just pass the entrance gate. It is not within the ferns and is next to the road. There is an electrical outlet available at this small RV or van camper site. We are "nice pet" friendly. Dogs should not be left in the cabin alone. We have a mountain spring (when the spring is running) up the trail road (450 feet away).

45mi from Blacksville · 4 sites · Lodging · Oakland, MD

Wild Yough is located in Southern Garrett County, Maryland very close to Herrington Manor State Park, Swallows Falls State Park, and the quaint mountain village of Oakland. The property adjoins thousands of acres of Garrett State Forest and hundreds of acres of state land along the Youghiogheny River. The world class Wisp resort and Deep Creek Lake are only minutes away. “Yough” is short for Youghiogheny River a state designated wild and scenic river which runs through the heart of the property. Wild Yough Glamping huts are part of more than 350 acres of private land, most of which is crisscrossed with hiking and biking trails. Youghiogheny is an Algonquin word meaning “a stream flowing in a contrary direction”, or in the case of the Yough, North toward Ohio Pyle and Pittsburgh. This section of the river is designated as a protected scenic corridor and you will feel the quiet isolation when sitting on the Crooked Butt Bench overlooking the big horseshoe bend in the river at the far back corner of our property. And if the river is low during your visit, feel free to wade across to the other side – Wild Yough owns the entire peninsula of land on the other side of the river and this is also bordered by State land.The river banks are steep on the property, but the fishing for small mouth bass is exceptional. There is a small turn around on the path just beyond Crooked Butt Bench where you can take out your canoe, kayak, or inner tubes after floating the 2+ miles from the Oakland bridge. Just be prepared to walk your water craft back up to the house or Glamping site as there is no motorized access to the river.If you like to lay on the rocks in the sun or take the kids for some wading in the river, the best place is the farthest to walk to. Take the trail to “High Bluff”, then cross the Snyder property line (Permission for trail access only – do not leave trail!), then descend down and cross the bridge across Herrington Manor Creek (a stocked trout stream!). Wild Yough property is to your right along the river and there is a great place for lying in the sun, doing some fishing, or just wading into the cool waters of the Yough on a hot summer day.Learn more about this land:The idea is simple- our glamping site will offer a true camping experience without all the hassles and fuss. With 350 acres of private ground, adjacent to thousands of acres of state park and forest, Wild Yough offers plenty of space to spread out, stretch your legs, watch the deer, and howl with the coyotes. You won’t be packed into a row of RV’s or tents where you can hear your neighbor snoring. You won’t have to set up camp in the rain. And you’ll never have to sleep on the ground! You’ll have your own heated hut, warm soft bed, and private space for long evenings around the campfire.

Weekend Trip to Ferns in the Forest

Virgil & Pam really go above and beyond at The Fern House! The cabin was comfy and stocked with everything one could need for an extended weekend away. Our hosts were generous and gracious. They provide great communication and hospitality. We spent 3 nights and wish it could've been longer! Our pups loved the mile walk around the property each morning plus great hiking spots nearby. We took advantage of the fireplace, local eatery suggestions, and the loft was the perfect hideaway for resting and waking to beautiful wooded views. We cant wait to come back!

Sunny (and dry) porch for relaxing and enjoying the surroundings.

We absolutely loved staying in the Fernhouse!! It was perfect. It was adorable and so cozy. It was very clean and had everything we needed. The location was wonderful! So close to hiking trails and lots of outdoor recreation. The hike around the property was beautiful and our dogs loved walking it with us in the morning. The outdoor area is super cozy too. Virgil was so kind and welcoming. We will be back again in another season!! I would highly recommend.

We really enjoyed the sound of the creek at all times and the hot showers! The yurt is beautiful and comfortable and the bathhouse was insanely clean and convenient! 10/10 would recommend to anyone wanting some time in the woods! Donald was very responsive, I was able to message him when needed through the app!

This was my 3d stay at the Fern house. Virgil goes above and beyond, the little house is very comfy and well appointed, and it’s so great to have a mile long trail right at your doorstep for early morning and evening walks! Virgil even left biscuits for my dog ❤️ I think of this place as a home away from home.

We loved it. Didn't pull in the first night until after 9:30, so having everything set up already was awesome. We did not end up using the hot tub, but the hot shower was AMAZING! Everything we could have wanted was there. We used the site as a base camp to visit Ohiopyle, PA and Cooper's Rock WV. Both were within a half hour of camp.

This was the cutest little hidden gem we've found so far! They thought of everything you need to escape to nature.. even an outdoor "heated tub"! Which in this 90° + degree weather, was quite amazing as a cold plunge!! Beds were so comfortable as well! Loved hearing the birds and bugs, and stream Which was only a few feet away from a covered porch! The outdoor restroom/shower house was well designed and beautifully cleaned.

My husband and I were looking for a private romantic getaway in nature and that’s exactly what we got. This place is a complete gem. We only stayed for the weekend. I would’ve rather stayed a week. I cannot wait to go back!!! Donald thought of everything to make your camping trip enjoyable. There was even bug spray in the tent. There were horses and goats and beautiful trails to hike a calming babbling creek. Everything you could want!!

Weekend Trip to Wolfhaven Tree Farm-Secluded

We needed a short weekend to recharge and reconnect - while we love camping and backpacking, for this trip we wanted a little extra comfort for sleeping arrangements. The Wolfhaven yurt and pond were a perfect match for what we were looking for, and we feel lucky to have been able to book last minute. The yurt is very cozy and inviting, with some lovely glamping extras (i.e., real bed, Keurig coffee maker, some lighting if wanted) without taking away from the desire to disconnect from tech/work etc. The portion of the property for guest enjoyment is fairly spacious, with an open sky view but surrounded by gorgeous trees, and of course the small pond. My husband enjoyed catching a couple of bass during our stay. We camp-fired, cloud-watched and star-gazed and enjoyed being together in this beautiful place. We fell asleep at night listening to the bullfrogs and tree frogs. A tip: if you're planning to stay a few days, give some thought to meal planning in light of no refrigeration or cooking appliances other than the campfire. There are nearby places to resupply for fresh food, but a well-stocked cooler with ice was very handy for our warmer weather trip. We brought a cast-iron griddle and some camping utensils to use over the fire, which we were glad of! Amber, our hostess, was communicative and helpful before and during our stay (while also giving us our space and privacy). We are hoping to come back, with and/or without our children, for another stay in the future!

Great cabin close to Frank Lloyd Wright homes and Ohiopyle State Park! Wonderful deck. You could just make this your whole trip. Virgil is very responsive and he and Pam are great people I had the pleasure of meeting. Would def return. You'll need to climb a ladder to access the lofted bedroom. Watch those angled beams!

Virgil and his wife were so very welcoming. The property has beautiful ferns throughout the surrounding woods. We loved it. The cabin had everything we needed. Beautiful inside. I would highly recommend this cabin. Close to all the attractions and in a relaxed setting. Also, dog friendly. Our shepherd Max is afraid of fireworks so we decided to take him to the country. This was a perfect setting.

Weekend Trip to Creekside Haven at the Farm

We loved how peaceful and private this place was. The creek right outside the tent was heavenly, along with the deck and chairs that look out on it. It was wonderful having an outdoor shower and the fire warmed soaking tub. The other tent was a good distance and some trees away so it felt like we had the place to ourselves. It exceeded all our expectations for a tent camping experience and having the modern comforts of a bed and electricity. I'd highly recommend this place if you wanted a nature camping experience but glamping style. I enjoyed the charm of the goats and working farm as well.
