Would visit again!
I would absolutely stay here again! It was a beautiful secluded area, and there were tons of camp spots for us to choose from. The host took the time to place fresh firewood at each camping spot, which was very nice. We also were able to visit the cidery. Not only was it beautiful but it’s the best cider I’ve ever had.

Fun adventure & things to explore!
We had a great time - the weather was perfect for the 4th of July holiday! We decided to stay an extra night and did a little exploring around the area. I think that it was a little more busy given the holiday, so we had quite a few neighbors around us. The first night was much more private with only one other couple nearby. So, it was just the kind of vibe you have to be open to or prepared for. Fun nonetheless! You'll most likely love the place!

Great spot! Beautiful property with plenty of spots available, only wish we had driven further in to find some of the best ones. The cider was quite yummy and an easy walking trip for refills. Jeff and Laura and their family were great hosts that were there if you need anything but left you alone to just camp. They graciously provided firewood for everyone camping on a busy weekend. Less than 30 minutes away are great swimming, hiking and provisions.

First time camping with young kids. The space is so perfect. Easy trip from dc. The creek was a huge hit. We’ll be coming back every chance we get.

Beautiful stay
We’re frequent Hipcampers and this is definitely at the top of our list. Amazing space! Our 5 night stay couldn’t have been more perfect. We had neighbors a couple nights, but you couldn’t even tell. Tons of space to spread out and explore. Very appreciative of the wood provided by the owners - plenty for our stay and more if needed. We didn’t get to take advantage of the cider tasting but we’ll definitely be back to give it a try.
