Our property is in Howard County, Maryland, and is super convenient to I-95, I-295, Hwy 32, and I-70. It is centrally located between Washington, DC, Baltimore, MD, and Frederick, MD. We are located right off of Highway 32 down a long, private paved driveway. What makes our property unique is all that it has to offer--it's an 18 acre oasis with mature woods protected by a conservation deed, lightly rolling hills, beautiful fields, wetlands, and a pond. It is not surprising to see deer and our local great blue heron on the property throughout the day. There is also a fire pit, which you are free to use. Firewood is free.On the way to your campsite, you will pass by our house at the end of a long paved driveway, so be aware of children and dogs as you drive. After passing our house, turn left and drive until you reach a large grass opening. This is where you will stay: a private, scenic campsite, fire pit, and picnic table, overlooking a field with a large garden down the hill. Behind you are woods filled with large trees. To the left of the garden is a pond, which is a wonderful place to watch the sunset from. You may even see our local great blue heron. Additionally, there are numerous hikes within 15 minutes of the campsite, and when night falls, the stars are visible and beautiful. We have a well with fresh water less than 100 feet away from the campsite. You can pitch a tent at this campsite or drive in with your camper or RV. *Note: Groups larger than 6 people must contact Scott prior to booking.

It was a lovely property for a night tent camping. We enjoyed the view, the deer, the firepit and the beautiful old trees that we put out tent up under.

Nice private place on a beautiful property. I booked it and stayed the same day and the directions to get there were fairly easy to follow.

Wasn’t actually able to make the stay on my reserved night, but the host was very quick to communicate with a welcome and I am sure the site is wonderful.

Great space for camper camping! Lots of flat parking space in the shade; didn’t need to setup leveling blocks. There’s also lots of nice grass areas that don’t get swampy in the rain that I imagine would be good for tent camping! Heavenly breeze on top of the hill saved us from the summer heat! Campfire pit is nice for fires and smores-making. PSA for out-of-towners: there are a few more mosquitos than usual in Maryland with all the rain storms, so bring bug spray if it rains the week before your stay.

Love it here! The host is super cool and into the outdoors. He clearly enjoys hosting and opening his property up to others who share the same love for camping. Talked with Scott for a long time about his camper and shared renovation ideas and camping stories. Will continue to come back when I’m in the area!

We loved camping at Scott’s Land. It was a huge space with a fire pit. It was nice with the trees for getting some shadow and a protection from the wind. Scott himself was amazing! Super warm-hearted and welcoming! Totally recommend!

Overall, I loved my time there. I stayed a week and it was as relaxing and as stress free as I could have asked for. The land is overall beautiful, you have a ton of space available to you and best is that they only rent to one group at a time. I went by myself, but had my best friend, my mother's dog and even my mother come to visit and there were no issues with people coming and going. The land owner, Scott, was very nice, as was his daughter and two dogs. The only slight negative was that the wood provided was very, very old. This is good when you're starting a fire, but it evaporates quickly. The fire pit has cinderblocks allowing for additional airflow, which is a plus. In fact, the cooking was quite easy overall. And I did have to purchase my own outdoor toilet and privacy tent, but I saw no one while I was out there so it was no big deal. Consider this is you're someone who needs to shower daily, They will also provide you with (I think) a five gallon jug of drinkable, washable water. To top it off, the price just right. My last campsite was the same price, but overall worse (sloped ground). I loved the peace and tranquility I found there and I hope that you don't book up too much time here because I want to go back sooner than later.

Pretty good, went into it having seen what it mentioned about being a primitive site, so no toilets or showers. I tent camped for 2 nights. Two dogs came up to greet me while I was packing up which was pretty nice. It really is somebody’s backyard but it’s big and wooded enough for privacy.
