This property and farm has been in our family for 3 generations. In 1964 my grandfather started the campground due to limited camping at New Germany. My father tells stories of it being filled with guests all summer long! Over the years there was few upgrades and now it's in need of a facelift. Landscaping, electric upgrades and bathhouse remodels were completed Spring 2021. We will continue to renovate in phases it's been a labor of love, but you can still see the beauty of this rural location and enjoy the peace and quiet. Hope you enjoy your stay. Lots of trees, shade and nature. It's located near New Germany State Park, 1.5 miles by car, less than a mile by foot. The state park has a lake and hiking trails. Garrett County has so much to offer, waterfalls, lakes, hiking, skiing, Amish gifts, history, fresh air, beautiful scenery. The campground was first started in 1964 by my grandparents, we are currently completing renovations in phases.

Abrams Creek is like camping in a nature preserve, rather than in a commercial campground.  On our campground, there are no generators, loud electronics, or other things that would distract from appreciating the sights and sounds of this pristine natural environment.   And this is always a great place to beat the heat! We have a mountain climate; the peak temperature most days in the summer is in the high 70's or very low 80's, and at night, temperatures go down to about 60.  You'll be breathing cool, clean, fresh mountain air all day long! Hot showers are included, and all sanitary facilities are *sterilized* between guests.  We have taken every measure to safeguard your health! We are located in the mountainous Potomac Highlands region of West Virginia. Our vision is an environmentally conscious, eco-friendly campground developed in harmony with nature. We are not only a business, but also serve as an anchor for others who want to live more simply and close to the earth. The concept of rural revitalization means reinventing rural life so that it is economically sound, intellectually stimulating, and emotionally satisfying. Ask any of our staff if you would like to learn more about this!

Learn more about this land: This wooded area is 5 miles away from the Ohiopyle State Park whitewater launch area and GAP bike trail. We are less than 9 miles from Frank Lloyd Wright's Classic Fallingwater and about 8 miles from Kentuck Knob one of the last resident homes he designed (both are open for tours). Fort Necessity National Battlefield is 5 miles away. There are numerous native trout streams in the area. Youghiogheny Reservoir is 7 miles away for fishing, boat rentals, and water-sports. The Fern House is the primary camp cabin on the property. Although if someone would want to park a "self contained" camper or small RV on the property we would permit the unit to occupy the area in front of the driveway just pass the entrance gate. It is not within the ferns and is next to the road. There is an electrical outlet available at this small RV or van camper site. We are "nice pet" friendly. Dogs should not be left in the cabin alone. We have a mountain spring (when the spring is running) up the trail road (450 feet away). The ferns will normally be in full glory by the end of May to mid September and are amazing, covering the forest floor. Deer, bear, wild turkey, fox, chipmunks, squirrels and many woodland birds abound the property especially owls. A picnic table, fire ring and firewood is available on the property. Free WiFi on the property as long as the plant life is not too thick! There is a mile hiking loop right on the property and many challenging trails in the area, including the starting point for the Laurel Highlands Hiking Trail. No smoking is permitted in the cabin. Read the entire narrative on the cabin (Tiny Fern House) before booking.

Immerse yourself in nature at our Riverside Retreat situated on the Middle Yough River and Great Allegheny Passage Trail. Our expansive private campsite allows you to pitch tents directly on the river bank, down the river hill out of sight from passing cyclists. Our property borders the GAP bike trail for easy access to premiere cycling. Ride your bike 1 mile upstream to the town of Confluence and the Youghiogheny River Lake Dam, or 9 miles downstream to enjoy extensive outdoor activities in the town of Ohiopyle. Experience first class year round trout fishing just a few steps into the river where beautiful rainbow and brown trout thrive. Wildlife sightings are common at the campsite where you can spot ducks, ospreys, bald eagles, and river otters. Family friendly activities abound, such as water play in the river and train watching the historic B&O railroad, an active cargo train line across the river. Boating enthusiasts will enjoy easy river access for recreational paddling directly off the campsite, while more adventurous boaters can challenge themselves further downstream with renowned whitewater paddling on the Middle and Lower Yough. Tubing is also a popular activity on our calm section of the river.

Pay a visit to the quaint town of Confluence to stock up on all your provisions and essentials just one mile from the campsite. Enjoy the best of both worlds: the seclusion of a private campsite immersed in nature, combined with convenient amenities. Spread out your tents along the river, utilize your private porta potty, use the fire pit to cook under the stars, and enjoy direct river access.
