Pitch your tent next to our spring-fed pond that is home to rainbow and native brook trout and frequently visited by wild ducks and blue heron. Enjoy ample shade by day and a fire in the fire ring and some of the best stargazing at night. The main house is across a footbridge, so you have ultimate privacy. We can also be a more participatory host—just let us know what you prefer. You will probably be visited by our good-natured yellow lab, Sawdust. The mature black pine on the edge of the forest was brought to this country in the boot of a young girl from the Black Pine Forest of Germany!

The vibe at Rainbow’s End
Places to see near Hawkwood Farm
Rainbows End is a rejuvenating place. Peaceful, calm, serene and I can felt the weight of the world lift from my shoulders when I was onsite. The host family is wonderful, considerate and accommodating. The site and surrounding area is a great place to clear your head and reconnect with Nature.
Black Pine Pond is an excellent place to camp. We were greeted by Aaron upon arrival and given multiple options for campsites. We ended up staying in a beautiful field surrounded by trees, great for star gazing. The property also has trails, a pond, and we even spotted a peacock hanging around. The site is fairly close (a little over an hour) to Baltimore if you want to take a trip into the city for crabs. Aaron and Angela we're very friendly and helpful while also giving us space. They even delivering Easter candy to our campsite (since we stayed on Easter weekend). I would definitely camp there again and recommend Black Pine Pond to anyone looking for a great place to camp.
We LOVED staying at Hawkwood Farm! The Rainbow's End campsite is across the picturesque pond from the farmhouse -- a pretty view, but still plenty private (2-3 minute walk across a footbridge). The lawn of the campsite was well-maintained with a fire circle, picnic table, and close to the pit toilet and spigot by the barn. We loved the farm's peacock, horses, the farm dog, and the chickens! The hosts greeted us upon arrival, and when they learned we forgot to bring our own firewood, they brought us what they had handy -- so nice! The directions to the farm are good, we had decent cell service, and the hosts were communicative and helpful before we arrived. We loved the farm and will likely come back if it's available next time we plan a camping weekend!
Exceeded expectations on all counts. Lots of space, service was excellent, location was beautiful. Would recommend over any of the public campgrounds in the area.
A glorious place, the hosts are most warm and caring, the dog, horses+++ too are most friendly, welcoming. Go, visit, you will not be disappointed.
Really nice. We loved it. Hosts were very friendly and helpful.
I can't even type the words here for how welcoming and awesome everyone was here at the site. What a loving and great family! I plan to rebook this site asap and head out with a telescope and some wine! I was tired from driving all day and all i did was park my van by the pond, put out my chair, read my book, and snooze early. It was so cool and comfortable out there! Cool ducks.....lota of night noises. I am from the country so it was all music to my ears. I woke up and wandered around the property. It is VERY beautiful and well maintained and everyone is super friendly and helpful. I will def be back asap and am extremely fortunate to have found this site! Highly recommend if you want seclusion and privacy and peace and NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE around you for a bit!!
Thank you so much for the option to stay here for the night!!!
Great place! Accommodating and welcoming hosts. Campsite was perfect!
