Welcome to creek-side camping on our picturesque 16 acre farm! Here are a few ground rules to help with your stay -PLEASE READ SO NONE OF THIS IS A SURPRISE-: -Dogs are permitted if they are friendly and are trained well enough to listen and stay at your site. Again, they must stay at your site unless walking with you on a leash. If your dog inflicts damage to the sites (digging holes, chewing up piles of sticks, chewing up toys to bits etc. please clean up after your dogs. We will provide shovels, rakes if you need!) - OVERLANDERS: You can bring your overland camper if you want, but you must park your vehicle in the parking spot across from your site at sites 1-3. It is a safety issue to block the entryway/exit lane. Site 4 is large enough to accommodate your vehicle and these rules do not apply there. -This is a place for relaxation and reflection by the creek. No loud groups, or partying allowed. If your neighbor can hear your music it is too loud. If your host can hear it, you will be asked to turn it down or off all together. -This is a pack it in, pack it out site. This includes food waste, dog waste, and any garbage produced. Please respect that :) DO NOT ATTEMPT TO BURN ANY WASTE IN THE FIRE RING BEFORE CHECKING OUT. -There is NO FISHING, kayaking or boating. Go for a swim and float, no prob! But please float in the vicinity of your camp, so as not to disturb other campers. - Please do not invite visitors to your campsite. This is an insurance issue, no exceptions. If you want friends and family to experience our beautiful spot, please have them sign up and book a site, wouldn't that be more fun anyway!? People coming to our land who are not booked at a site will immediately be shown off the property. -Due to virtually every booking asking for earlier arrival and later departure times, we are strictly adhering to the posted check in and check out times. You can enjoy the following on our sites: - Free, unlimited wood for your campfires. Each site comes with a fire ring. - Seating arrangements (picnic table, wrought iron loungers and chairs and wood benches). - Charming outhouse situated over a septic certified holding tank with toilet paper and hand sanitizer.

An Excellent Camping Spot!

Site #3 - Bamboo

An absolutely incredible camping experience! This was our second visit to Creekside Orchard and it did not disappoint! Scott was kind to check in on us during the storm, and brought down fresh firewood the following morning at no charge. A quite, private space that we absolutely enjoy staying at - we'll definitely be back again! We only have great things to say and recommend this spot wholeheartedly.

I had a great time car-camping here! I felt safe the entire time, the outhouse was convenient, and having firewood so close by was great! Highly recommend this spot

The Perfect Getaway

Site #2 - Bywater

The site was very clean and looked better in person than in the photos! Scott was very kind and made sure we had everything we needed for our stay, including dry fire wood. The other sites are very close by in proximity, yet you have plenty of privacy at the site and we could barely hear the fellow campers at the other sites. It was the perfect quick getaway from Baltimore to sit by the creek and enjoy the sounds of nature. Would definitely come back!

Site #2 - Bywater

We had a great time at site #2 Bywater. It was a beautiful spot next to the creek. We nestled our tent into the bamboo alcove and had plenty of privacy. We will definitely stay here again!

Great campsite on a creek

Site #3 - Bamboo

This was a beautifully situated and cared for campsite. Scott was a great host who checked in on us - including during a thunderstorm. It was an hour from Baltimore and a perfect quick camping getaway. And fwiw that was one of the cleanest wooden outhouses I have ever used! We can’t wait to come back.

Site # 1 - Osage

This was a beautiful place to camp! The site was right along side a lovely creek. Had great hammock-hanging trees. There were other groups camping at the nearby sites, but they were far enough away we couldn't see them and only barely heard them. I also want to mention the bathroom - that was the cleanest outdoor bathroom I've ever seen! We will definitely be back!
