3.3mi from Shepherdstown · 11 sites · Tents, Lodging · Shepherdstown, WV

Looking for a personal retreat or get away ? Escape to our beautiful, RUSTIC 32 acre wild homestead / farm. A lovely balance between wild and tame. We are 10 minutes from the Potomac River, 10 minutes from Opequon Creek, 20 from Antietam Creek and 30 minutes from the Shenandoah River. Harper's Ferry is 30 minutes way and downtown Historic Shepherdstown is just down the road. We are also close to several state parks. - What do we mean by "RUSTIC" ? The camping experience we offer is about unplugging from the modern world , getting back to basics, slowing down and re-connecting with the land. Simply put, this is CAMPING .... not glamping. (Our Cosmic Cottage is also rustic, despite the amenities that come with it). - CAMPSITES and TREEHOUSE - No electricity or wifi on the land. Campsites and TREEHOUSE are nestled in the woods. So although your vehicle will be parked within 50 ft or so from site, you cannot pull directly up to the site and get any closer because of the trees. - SHOWER and PORTA POTTY - roughly a 5 minute or less walk from sites to shower and / or porta potty. Shower hours are 8 am- to 8 pm. The shower has hot and cold running water . You can drive to the shower if you need to. - RESPONSE TIME - This is a working herb farm/ sanctuary and we so do not always have our phones on us. We will make every effort to respond to you within a few hours. Please be patient and you will receive a response. -BOOKING - If you are interested in booking and / or availability, go to the HIPCAMP BOOKING CALENDAR and enter the dates you are interested in. for the most up to date accurate info on availability. - Feel free to wander through the herb gardens, eat your meals in the garden pavilion (we have picnic tables there and hammocks), get your Zen on in the meditation hut , and stroll through the woodland medicine path where we grow endangered and at at risk plant plants. (heads up.. the woodland medicine path goes to seed by the Fall and is usually munched down by the deer by then, but is still a nice short stroll in the woods).

39mi from Shepherdstown · 2 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging · Chambersburg, PA

The Cabin, Wood-Fired Sauna, and Meadow campsites at Montside Orchard boast one of the most magical sunset views in the Cumberland Valley. You can also expect to see a daily show of wildlife—herds of white tail deer, wild turkeys and hundreds of wild birds make Montside Orchard their home! Bring your binoculars--it's a wooded wonderland! The Cabin is hugged by woodlands at the back and bucolic green hills dotted with orchards and small farms out the front. Yet within 15 minutes you will have arrived in quaint, well appointed downtown Chambersburg-- a small town bursting with good art and good food! We are also conveniently located 10 minutes from I-81, a major North/South interstate and 10 minutes from Rt 30. While we don't allow hiking on the property Rt 30 takes you into Micheaux Forest, the Appalachian Trail and Caledonia State Park within 15 min and the historic Gettysburg National Park within 35. White Tail Ski Resort is 40 minutes South and Ski Liberty is 40 miles East.

19mi from Shepherdstown · 3 sites · RVs, Lodging · Frederick, MD

Basecamp Frederick is located on almost 2 acres adjacent to the Frederick Municipal Forest & Watershed on Hamburg Rd. There is a small creek that borders one side of the property, a wooded area in the back, and access to trails across the street. This area of Frederick is prime for outdoor activities such as cycling, hiking, fishing, foraging, and wildlife watching. Both Gambrill State Park and Catoctin Mountain Park are nearby and easy to access for day trips.

4. Hollow Haven

38mi from Shepherdstown · 3 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging · Warfordsburg, PA

Nestled deep in a peaceful valley near Warfordsburg, this 70-acre homestead is surrounded by rolling Appalachian mountains on all sides. It’s a true sanctuary—secluded, lush, and full of life. Free-roaming sheep graze the pastures, birds flit between the trees, and deer slip silently through the woods. Just two minutes from the property line, you’ll find remote hiking trails through untouched forest—part of the protected public wilderness lands often known as State Game Lands, but locally loved for their quiet, winding footpaths, gentle ridgelines, and abundant wildlife. This is not just for hunters—it’s a hidden hiking treasure. Perfect for primitive tent campers, off-grid vans, or those looking to escape into a greener, slower world. There’s plenty of space to spread out, with wooded nooks, soft clearings, and open skies by night. Come unplug, stargaze, and let the sounds of sheep and springtime fill your soul.

Perfect spot to spend the night in our van. Great location close to Frederick, but very peaceful. Hosts had great communication. Got a great night's sleep and were able to enjoy some of the local trails the next day.

Great place to tent camp on the land. Was awesome to sit out and read a book or watch the sunset. A lot of local hiking trails and places to explore in the nearby forests. Post was super communicative and very kind when we chatted. The space may be a little closer to the owner's property than some people would like, but I certainly didn't mind!

The camp site was easy to find and well suited for us. It was quiet as we were the only ones in the campground. We heard the train, but it wasn't loud. There was the howling of coyotes in the evening and a distant rooster crowing in the morning all adding to the ambiance. I was in campsite 1 which was very close to parking. The water tap up near the garden was convenient and tasted wonderful. I would stay here again but have one caution. Check yourself for ticks. I found one crawling on me and the next day found another one attached.

My friend and I had a great time staying here! Mark was very hospitable and made things very easy for us. The area is stunning with the fall leaves. Other than some cows and a rooster far off on a different property, it was very quiet and peaceful the whole time. The bed was very soft, and the coffee Mark gave to us was the best I've had in awhile! Be sure to use smaller pieces of wood for the hot tub so it heats up faster. A relaxing and lovely time, highly recommend!

Great treehouse! Make sure you hold onto the handrails when going up. Those steps can be slippery! Inside is very cozy. Make sure you’re comfortable sleeping with your companion that you come with! Very quiet and secluded.

My friend and I, both in our late 60's, had the best couple of days at Hillarys place. Walking around the grounds was just so peaceful and relaxing. This was our 2nd visit, the 1st time we stayed in the Tiny Tree house, it was so much fun...a real nature adventure, but the steps are a bit much for us now. This time we stayed in the Cosmic Cottage, it was perfect! I liked that we could unload our stuff right at the door then park close by. I especially liked that the cottage has electric, it made making coffee and heating food a luxury. The bed in both places is wood pallets on the floor topped with a futon mattress, each time I brought a 4" foam to put over it...so we were very comfortable. There's only one bed so you have to be very good friends...like us, since childhood🙂 We also enjoyed fires in the nice, big firepit in back. We went to nearby Sheppherdstown and Harpers Ferry too. I highly recommend this place for a peaceful getaway and we will definitely be returning...we'd like to try the giant tent next time.

We had a very peaceful experience camping at this herbal sanctuary with a group of 5 friends. The whole property has cute hand painted signs so it’s very clear how to get around. The site is tucked the furthest of the sites up in the woods, so it feels private, but it’s not a far walk to the grassy clearing where we parked our cars. It’s proximal to the sacred circle, which was lovely and it’s so nice to have a grassy area to relax in. You can walk from there down to see some cows. They also have a farm store where we bought some dried herbs for tea making. I enjoyed using the outdoor shower (it’s open air and really cute!) I sat in the herb garden while waiting for it to be available. Also, you may get to meet some cats (two sweet silver kittens joined us at our campsite for an evening, overnight and morning) they were the highlight of the trip! we drove 30 minutes to Harper’s ferry to hike and swim, and got coffee one morning in nearby Shepardstown. such a lovely weekend!

We had a great time here this weekend! The site (#2) was perfect for two of us. We enjoyed exploring the farm and it is a short drive to Shepherdstown and the B&O canal trail. There was so much to do in two short days and we had a great time. Easy to find, good communication with host, camp locations are well marked.

Hillary's land on a hot, dry September afternoon filled us with joy. We explored the meadow trails. We sniffed the varieties of herbs. We embraced the Mother Tree. This is a meditative place and a true sanctuary. Bell Tent is a grand place to sleep, everything we could want — clear directions, well-kept facilities, and privacy to UNWIND.
