15mi from Rowlesburg · 1 site

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! Our bathhouse is designed to bring you all of the comforts of home, with modern, comfortable features which include full size showers, plenty of counter space, professional ventilation, and regular maintenance by our partners at Offlake Rentals. Additionally, we have outside water facilities and separate, deep sinks for washing dishes. The adjacent pavilion area is furnished with comfortable lounge furniture and picnic tables, making it the perfect place to socialize with your fellow Glampers or host a pot-luck meal with a large group.Here’s what else you will find at the bathhouse and pavilion:– Outside spigot and hose for quick cleanup (also great for doggie washing)– Sockets for charging mobile phones and laptops (leave property at your own risk)– Take one leave one book and magazine library– Selection of board games and outdoor activities– Information on the area and suggested must see and do activities

There’s plenty of fish in the, well... lake! As the name would suggest, Deep Creek Lake is most known for its water-related activities. Stocked with trout, walleye, bass, and yellow perch, fishers will certainly find a good catch. And with a 24-hour boat launch you have aquatic access mornin’, noon and night. If you decide to stay over, you’ve got a boatload of accommodation options, ranging from a primitive, forest structure to a glamped-out yurt to your trusty ol’ tent. Over 95% of the park consists of forest that has regenerated from the original stands of timber and transformed into an primo example of a maturing northern hardwood forest. Take a hike on Meadow Mountain and experience the peaceful beauty of this area for yourself.

Abrams Creek is like camping in a nature preserve, rather than in a commercial campground. On our campground, there are no generators, loud electronics, or other things that would distract from appreciating this pristine natural environment. And this is always a great place to beat the heat! We havea mountain climate; the peak temperature most days in the summer is in the high 70's or very low 80's, and at night, temperatures go down to about 60 or lower. You'll be breathing cool, clean, fresh mountain air all day long! Hot showers are included, 24/7! We are located in the mountainous Potomac Highlands region of West Virginia. Our vision is an environmentally conscious, eco-friendly campground developed in harmony with nature. We are not only a business, but also serve as an anchor for others who want to live more simply and close to the earth. The concept of rural revitalization means reinventing rural life so that it is economically sound, intellectually stimulating, and emotionally satisfying. Ask any of our staff if you would like to learn more about this!

Stretch and stargaze from your deck, or right from your bed with ceiling canvas tent views. Wade into the creek outside your tent door. Watch animals graze while cooking over an open fire and enjoy a walk in the forest on our 100 acre trails.

Weekend Trip to Brooklyn Heights Riverfront Camp

We had a group of 6 (3 tents) and 2 dogs. We stayed at RV10 and had a wonderful time. The campsite easily accommodated the all of us and was easy to find. The porta potties were clean and the coffee house at the center of camp was a nice touch. We also appreciated the firewood that was available to purchase via common phone apps or cash. It was too cold for us to take advantage of the beautiful river, but the beach was nice and would be a blast in warm weather. We want to give a big shout out to Vince! He checked on us when we arrived and even led us on a hike to a cave and an amazing waterfall not far from camp center. We really appreciate a campsite that values nature and laid back atmosphere, which is exactly what we got. Highly recommend!

We had a really great time! We lounged on the dock during the day, dipping in the lake when it got too hot and hung out by the fire pit at night. The land is beautiful and a few baby cows stopped by our site one morning! Amber was responsive to our needs and very friendly. The cabin covers the basics and we supplemented with a few camping extras. We’re already talking about coming back.

Weekend Trip to Bear Run Farms

Amazing campsite! I definitely did not believe the lake would actually be that blue, but it was stunning in person. Our campsite was well setup, with a couple picnic tables, well developed fire pit, even a private dock with little aluminum boat to putz around the lake! It’s situated with plenty of distance from the other sites around the lake, we felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. Special shoutout- outhouse was so clean and such a pleasant change of pace from most campsite facilities which are so often full of spiders, trash, and unpleasant smells and such. Amber came around with extra firewood in her truck after the sun started to dip, which was excellent timing and we were delighted to have a few more logs to keep the magic going into the night. It’s close enough to dolly sods you can bunk here if you don’t feel like backpacking, and near some of our fav little towns of Thomas and Davis, full of cute restaurants and galleries. We will definitely be back!
