Bald Eagle Farm on the Patuxent

3 sites ¡ RVs, Tents300 acres ¡ Brandywine, MD
Bald Eagle Farm has been in our family for three generations. Today two generations still live and operate the family farm. We once raised tobacco and cattle and have now converted to growing hay and grain. My family wants to share the views and the experience of sleeping under the stars on our beautiful secluded farm. You will hear nothing but the wind, birds, frogs and insects while you doze off or enjoy the dark sky and camp fire. We live on the farm so we are always here to help you out if needed. We can provide you with the firewood you need and water from our deep well. We are here to make your stay as comfortable as possible and provide a restroom in the case of an "emergency". Recently named a finalist for 'Best Hipcamp in Maryland'! Thank you SO much for your support and we look forward to hosting you in 2022. There are three campsites on the farm, one by the pond and two by the river. Very secluded and all sites include , firepit, log bench, and a picnic table that seats 3-4 people. PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN FIREWOOD. AT THIS TIME WE ARE OUT FOR THE SEASON. The original river campsite has been moved to a more remote spot so that all campers can access the pond and pier to the river. Farm encompasses nearly 300 acres on the Patuxent River. There is access to the river on high tide via our private creek (must bring your own canoe or kayak) and 150 acres of marshland. Over 100 acres of woods to walk through and a pond for wildlife watching. Local Spots to Visit: Canoe/Kayak/Fishing: Clyde Watson Boating Area, Patuxent River Park, Patuxent Wetlands Park, Cedar Haven Fishing Area Hiking: Jug Bay Wetlands Sanctuary, Patuxent River Park, Cedarville State Forest, Rosaryville State Park, Merkle Wildlife Sanctuary, Maxwell Hall Park Places to Eat: Hardesty Haven Cafe, Moreland's Produce & Market, Cedarville Grocery.

1850's Greenock Farm, plus 4WD site

4 sites ¡ RVs, Tents45 acres ¡ Lothian, MD
Please read entire description and most importantly, there are no toilet facilities, so please pack it out, dig a hole or bring your own head if you're not self-contained. No presents for me or other campers, thank you. 45-acre Historic farm, several sites to choose from depending on adventure wanderlust (including a 4WD drive site). Located on private gravel lane, approximately 1/2 mile off county road. Either corn or soybeans with a woods backdrop. Secluded and private, yet 25 minutes to downtown Annapolis, 10 minutes to the Bay, great for cycling, paddleboarding, kayaking all 10/15 minutes from farm. DC 45 minutes, Baltimore 1 hour. Jug Bay wetlands, wineries, fun little waterfront towns and Bay front restaurants all within easy reach. Check out individual sites for description, each has its own personality. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out. First listing actually has several options. For large campers/coach/fifth wheelers the area by the tractor shed will be the best. Around the corner there's two other choices both with firepits which will accommodate units up to 40 feet depending on your backing/maneuvering skills. Field of Dreams and Sycamore Ridge will accommodate campers under 25 feet with some backing/maneuvering skills. For those with 4WD and an off-road camper/trailer/tent choose Off the Grid, two entrances for easy access, travel along a logging road to an open site with fire pit. Suitable during dry conditions and not responsible for damage to vehicle or camper. Great spot for those who truly want to be in the woods off the beaten path, site takes about 5 minutes to reach due to low-speed access.

Earthwalk Ways Retreat

6 sites ¡ Lodging, RVs, Tents1000 acres ¡ Fredericksburg, VA
We are a Nature Retreat bordering Nature Conservancy land along a tributary and up and down the Rappahannock River. You can hike along the stream down to the river and up and down the river. You can fish and float the river. There are no trails so a moderate level of fitness and comfort in the forest is needed. You can follow the water ways but it is wilderness. Camping there is primitive but available or you can camp or glamp at Earthwalk Ways Retreat. We are also adjacent to a 50 acre farm on the other side of the creek that is available for hiking. There is a reservoir nearby as well. We are in the midst of the suburbs not far from Fredericksburg, which has some great historic and community places of interest. Our facilities are private and we only rent to one or 2 guests at a time. You can glamp in a trailer, or car camp in a nice campground with power and water or you can go primitive and pack in. All spaces include access to our classical 11 circuit labyrinth and backyard gardens where you can enjoy zen rock garden and other contemplative nature crafts. There are some great extra's here as well including an outdoor jacuzzi and indoor infrared sauna and massage chair. These spa features are another great way to get your zen on here. I offer Forest Bathing and individual retreat support sessions, an quarterly sweat lodge and also vision quest support if people would like to experience a solo nature immersion feast.

The best camping near Caledon State Park guide

Overview

About

The towering trees and paintbrush stroke leaves of Caledon State Park will have you seeing green. Lace up those well-worn boots and trek one of ten designated trails designated for hiker's feet only. Four multi-purpose trails offer the opportunity to bike through the picturesque marshlands and scenic wooded areas that characterize the park. Fishing may not be available at Caledon Marsh or James Pond, but a short trip to Potomac River will remedy that. If you're looking for a slice of history, hop over to the nearby town of Fredericksburg, where the King George County Museum calls the town its home. As the leaves turn to a brilliant red and orange, Caledon State Park is the ideal spot to enjoy nature at its finest.

Notable campgrounds

  • Primitive Campsites: Nestled along the Potomac River, these sites offer a peaceful retreat into nature, accessible by hiking, biking, or paddling.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  • Book early to secure your spot, as the primitive campsites are in high demand for their unique riverfront location.
  • Be flexible with your dates to increase your chances of finding an available campsite.
  • Consider visiting during the off-peak season for a quieter experience and easier reservations.
  • Explore nearby camping options if Caledon State Park is fully booked.

When to go

The best time to visit Caledon State Park is from April to October when the weather is mild and the park's flora and fauna are most active. Winter months can be less ideal due to colder temperatures and limited visitor center hours.

Know before you go

  • Check the park's operating hours, open from 8am to dusk, and plan your visit accordingly.
  • Visitor center hours vary seasonally, so confirm the schedule before your trip.
  • Remember to pack out all trash, as the primitive campsites do not have trash removal services.
  • Accessibility is a priority; electric wheelchairs and scooters are allowed on trails for those with disabilities.
  • No potable water is available at the campsites, so bring sufficient water for drinking and cooking.
