Summary AI-generated from real reviews
We loved tent camping at the South End Creekside site - falling asleep to the sound of the gentle creek was so peaceful, and the lack of light pollution made for a fantastic opportunity to stargaze. The bathroom facility was a big bonus. The camp is also close to the Rocky Gap State Park and Cumberland - both great day trips!
Sam & Liam are wonderful hosts - we’re looking forward to coming back!
Great space, even with the torrential rains, we had a great time. Camped by the river and Liam was so nice and came down and checked on us to make sure we were okay. Just amazing to have the basement area to have coffee, take a shower, and even do laundry. The dogs loved the creek and went swimming in the rain. Fortunately my tent stayed dry and we had lots of extra blankets. We’ll definitely be back when the weather is better. What a treasure!

South End Creekside Tent Site
I loved tent camping on Sam and Liam’s land!
The views were beautiful and directions were clear. There was another site nearby but it wasn't too loud. Our campsite was a great size with plenty of shade, and generously had a fire already set up for us to light when we got there. The wood stock and access to the basement bathroom were also extremely convenient and made the camping experience ten times better! Would definitely love to come back in the colder seasons when some of the bug activity dies down!!
So kind of them to share their home. This space is so incredible, I wish I had a home like this. We camped right by the water hole and got to swim, skip rocks and just relax and enjoy the scenery. It was the perfect get away for my last “Barbie mobile” adventure. Thank you so much for hosting and sharing this beautiful space with others. FYI bring bug spray - you’re obviously by the water and bugs enjoy it and you 😅

Swimming Hole Tent Site
This is now my favorite camping site in the DMV area. The river, the nature, the wild flowers maze, everything was magical. The bathroom amenities makes camping so much less treacherous for someone like me who desires comfort even while in nature. The hosts are generous and helpful. 10/10 and we will definitely be back.

Interesting geology. Clean river of Tranquility.
Real nice down to earth people that own it.
Nice shower bathroom. A majestic resident hunting rabbits and fish : a large bald eagle.
Everything was perfect. Swimming hole was excellent.

Swimming Hole Tent Site
Our group of 5 (all women/girls) had a great time at Zeke's. We stayed at the more secluded site and it gave the first timers an easy entry into the world of camping. Liam was very helpful and friendly. The bathroom area was also a bright spot. Very clean with nice amenities. Thanks for a good 2 night trip!
It was an amazing time we can’t wait to go back again!!

Swimming Hole Tent Site
It was an excellent stay! There was loads of space at our site, the bathroom was clean and the basement area offered a lot of amenities. Looking forward to coming back in the future!
Liam met us at camp, accommodated our extra vehicles and gave us a beautiful site to spend our evening. Clean and warm bathroom with shower. Laundry facilities on site and don’t get me started about the tranquil river that runs right next to your campsite! It would be great for both splashing around and just sitting and watching the wind blow by. Highly recommend this camp!
We loved staying at this Hipcamp! The swimming hole is amazing. We stayed at the South End site and there is a lot of shade to set up a large tent, and then some. We highly recommend this campsite and will likely come back. Don't be cheap with the firewood purchase/donations either, folks. Liam provides the best firewood I've ever had at a Hipcamp, especially if you are regularly using it for open fire cooking.

South End Creekside Tent Site
We absolutely loved our stay! The swimming hole is a hidden gem of a spot. The South End site is well-shaded and the walk isnt far to the creek. We would definitely come back.

We really enjoyed ourselves during our stay. Lots of land for tent setup. Even though it was mostly an open meadow setting, there was plenty of shade available. The creek is definitely one of the best features, as well as the on site shower and bathroom. The fireflies dancing in the dark were a bonus. Just bring plenty of mosquito repellent. For the most part it was private. Liam was a great host with plenty of communication.
Had a great stay at Sam and Liam’s land! The location right next to the water was absolutely beautiful and made for a relaxing getaway. My dogs had an amazing time swimming and exploring the area. The bathroom was clean, convenient, and easy to access, which made the stay even more comfortable. I would definitely recommend this spot to anyone looking for a peaceful place to enjoy nature and the water.
This place is Awesome!!! Absolutely beautiful and good fishing also. Absolutely coming back!
Our stay at Zeke and Sam's place was exactly what we needed — peaceful, private, and surrounded by beautiful scenery. The host was welcoming and communicated everything clearly. The site itself was clean, easy to access, and had a really relaxing vibe. We especially appreciated the little details that made it feel comfortable and cared for. Whether you’re looking to unplug for a weekend or just enjoy some quiet time outdoors, this spot is absolutely worth booking. We would definitely come back.

We lived the whole property! Plenty of space for both campsites, the creek was great, secluded, private but very accessible and well maintained!
The bathroom is a huge plus, with a shower, a sink, washer and dryer!

Thanks Sam & Liam great host!

Liam was very accommodating he ask if I would like a fire going by the time I got here.
The south end campsite was very peaceful and healing for me. They have the firewood and shower area by the house when you first pull in. It's a small walk from the campsite.
The water hole is awesome. Relaxing to get in when the sun comes over the rock there. It's deep toward the middle but the shore is shallow. Great safe area for a dynasty and children.
When I went I think they were just getting started,I imagine over time they will have a lot more things along the way to make things easier and groovy for the campers.
There's lots of walnuts on the ground I picked a few to try and crack them open next week :)
The place felt like an experience for me the whole time I was there. That helps reset you every now and then when you need it.
We loved our stay at Zeke's place! Liam met us as we pulled in and brought down some firewood. The location was right by the water and swimming hole was easy to access from some stairs a stones throw away. Water felt great and was the perfect size/depth for swimming. We will definitely bring some floats if we are able to come back! Our pups loved playing in the water and were happy to be able to swim since most creeks are too shallow. Once the sun was down we enjoyed stargazing and the sounds of nature. This was the perfect spot for quick getaway.
