Weekend Trip to Brooklyn Heights Riverfront Camp

What a great hidden gem. Vincent was a wonderful host and quick to answer any questions we had. We are already planning our next trip back :)

Weekend Trip to Brooklyn Heights Riverfront Camp

Great campground. I loved the easy access to water, firewood, and portapotties. The grounds were well taken care of, and seems like they are actively working to build it out with even more amenities. Vincent and the caretaker (I forget his name, sorry) were both very welcoming, kind, and helpful. Good vibes all around.

Weekend Trip to Brooklyn Heights Riverfront Camp

Nice location along the river. Enjoyed our one night stay.

Weekend Trip to Brooklyn Heights Riverfront Camp

Only a couple of flat spots for tents but a nice fire ring and a couple of benches. Nice air flow coming down the mountain along the creek thru the campsite.

Weekend Trip to Brooklyn Heights Riverfront Camp

I loved my stay at the electric rv sites (RV1). Vincent and Jim were quite amazing and the overall experience was five star. Cant wait to come back.

Weekend Trip to Brooklyn Heights Riverfront Camp

I have never had a camping trip go so smoothly before! It was a wonderful and special experience I hope to remember forever <3

2 nights at Brooklyn Heights Riverfront Camp

I absolutely loved this campground. It was waaayyy off any main roads and so far from any big cities. The peace it offered was incredible. The stars, amazing. The River, perfect. We stayed on C5 and loved the privacy that it offered, although I wish the river front sites weren’t only for groups. But the walk to the river wasn’t far at all, even in the pitch dark. The layout of the campground was nice, easy to understand and find things. We did meet the owner and the caretaker and both were very pleasant! Maybe not a campground for kids as there isn’t a lot to do with kids and the river seemed a little fast (and deep) for little ones, but would definitely recommend for a time away from the real world.

1 night at Brooklyn Heights Riverfront Camp

So sad we could only stay to sleep. We drove down the dark and windy road seeing nothing but what was in front of us. Arrives and had a little bit of a difficult time figuring out where the site was, but that was our fault for coming in after dark. What a surprise we woke up to with the river right across the street. I wish we had more time to stay and explore, but it’ll give us a reason to come back.

3 nights at Brooklyn Heights Riverfront Camp

Loved camping at our primitive RV10 spot as we had the whole area to ourselves with no one staying in the cabins around us. Listening to the river rushing over the rocks at night was bliss. A large oak tree fell across the road early one morning and Jim, the camp host was prompt in cutting it up. The road to the camp was narrow and we felt lucky not to meet anyone on our treks into town. Next time we would throw in a portable shower as the trek out into the river across the rocky river bottom was a bit precarious for us older folks.

2 nights at Brooklyn Heights Riverfront Camp

Brooklyn Heights was a great campground! After pulling in to our spot we were immediately greeted by Jim. He was a one man welcoming committee, made sure we knew our way around and showed us the best beach options. The river is relaxing and the sites are all super private.

2 nights at Brooklyn Heights Riverfront Camp

Rustic West Virginia river camping. On the river, quiet and shaded. The host is very responsive.

1 night at Cheat View Outpost

Very quiet and peaceful (except for the bullfrogs, which I thought sounded very cool). Would definitely stay here again.

2 nights at Brooklyn Heights Riverfront Camp

Awesome place with very cool people! Was an honor to stay! River is beautiful and site is absolutely perfect!

2 nights at Brooklyn Heights Riverfront Camp

The spot was perfect and we will definitely return. We really enjoyed being on the water and all of the areas to explore.

Weekend Trip to Brooklyn Heights Riverfront Camp

Area was clean, amenities were close to where we stayed (C4), amazing views from the river. Friendly staff and nearby campers!

Weekend Trip to Courage mountain..

Quiet and peaceful. Saw deer, turkeys, and heard coyotes at night.

Weekend Trip to Brooklyn Heights Riverfront Camp

A gem of a campground! The location off the river is unmatched. We throughly enjoyed how much shade the campground had. Would definitely recommend for all!

Weekend Trip to Brooklyn Heights Riverfront Camp

The primitive RV site 6 was amazing! Spacious (we had a pull behind teardrop trailer as well as as a tent), clean and the river access was right across the road! The camp hosts were so attentive and accommodating. The camp office and coffee tent area were a great addition and the firewood was handy and easily accessible! We did not do any of the hikes near the campsite, but we heard great things! We drove the half hour to Blackwater Falls one day and then another day the 20 minutes to Thomas. Both were fantastic side trips!

Weekend Trip to Brooklyn Heights Riverfront Camp

Absolutely loved our stay at this riverside campsite! The location was peaceful and beautiful—perfect for relaxing by the water. Jim and Sharon were incredibly helpful and welcoming, which made the experience even better. We enjoyed it so much that we've already booked our next visit. Highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to EarthSky Private Camp & Retreat

I loved camping on earthsky’s land. Emily and her husband were cool, kind and accommodating. Best thing about this place was being able to kayak right to our tent site after a day on the river. Well maintained and felt like you were off the beaten path but only 10 or so minutes to town!

Wild Yough Glamping Huts

4 sites · Lodging350 acres · 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. And our bathhouse and pavilion facilities are designed with comfort, cleanliness and relaxation in mind. Oh yeah… large field for enjoying lawn games or just relaxing quietly under an endless blanket of evening stars.Each hut is furnished with a double bed, additional seating/pullout bed, cabin cooking center with stove, dining table, LED lighting, and a propane heater. Outside, each hut has comfortable chairs on the porch, a large picnic table, and a fire-ring/cooking grill with extra seating. And all this is just a short walk to the bath house and paviliion!
