Mother Earth Organic Farm
RV/tent site · Sleeps 8 · Vehicles under 30 ftCheck-in before dark sunset.
Pitch your tent on our organic farm. The site is private 3 acres of fields, woods and stream that you can play, relax and explore on our 17 acre farm. Enjoy nature at its best on our small farm far away from roads and city life. The campsite is the epitome of 'getting away.' Cell service is spotty at best. You're welcome to use our open WIFI to surf the net and make WIFI calls outside of the greenhouse.
Campsite Amenities: The campsite has a gravel enclosed fire ring, picnic table, charcoal grill, composting toilet (with toilet paper), and solar outdoor shower (available upon request).
Parking: If you have a vehicle that can drive on the grass (our all-terrain Prius does well), you're welcome to park near the campsite (about 50 feet away, uphill). Otherwise, you can park by the road and walk a few minutes (about 1/4 mile) to your site.
Local Attractions: The Farm - You can arrange a group walking farm tour. The tour will include information about organic integrative pest management, our solar powered chicken coop, the greenhouse, tiny house construction, the farm's history, and much more. Catoctin Scenic Route - We are located on the scenic route. This is a drivable route (and popular among cyclists!) with many scenic views, including our farm! Hiking- We are about 1 mile from an Appalachian Trail access point (on the same road) with ample parking. Greenbrier State Park has wonderful hiking, lake and a sandy beach. Annapolis Rock & Black Rock Cliff Trailhead has amazing views. Thurston Griggs Trail connects to Annapolis Rock and is about a 1-2 hour hike, depending on your pace. South Mountain State Park has well maintained hiking trails. Gambrill State Park has 16 miles of hiking. The list goes on! Horseback riding - there are local farms that provide lessons.
Small Town Life: Smithsburg is the closes town (about 7 mins drive). Here you can pick up pizza, visit Veterans Park and the local library, and have a drink at the local dive bar.
Small City Life: Downtown Frederick has a small town feel wrapped in an urban environment. It's cute and quaint. Visit Carol Creek for an urban park walk where you can stop for ice cream or a glass of wine. Frederick also has a plethora of craft breweries to choose from. There's a pub crawl tour to explore if you're interested. There are many restaurants to choose from as well.
Supplies: The closest convenience store is Harne's and is a 3 min drive. The closest grocery store is Martin's Food in Smithsburg (8 min drive). There are many local farms with farm stands in the area. We can provide you with recommendations if you're interested! We also sell organic pasture raised eggs, organic produce and organic baked goods on the farm.
Pets are welcome, but must remain leashed/under control at all times.
We are embracing of diversity and welcome all to share this special space.
