Wanna really get away from it all? All you hear is wind in the trees and the north branch of the Potomac River rushing 50 feet below. Very private sites located right between world class fly fishing and kayaking at Barnum Whitewater Area and beautiful and undeveloped Jennings Randolph Lake. Very rustic, mature hardwood forest, crawling with wildlife. Explore 20 acres with your sturdy boots, camera or binoculars. Tow vehicles are strongly recommended to be 4WD. No hunting please!

Very relaxing camping trip. There was a piece of machinery right next to our campsite where we parked, but it didn’t bother us too much. Took away from the whole nature aspect a tiny bit but we still really enjoyed ourselves. Will definitely stay again and would recommend to anyone looking for a private campsite with a nice view of the river below!

A cool, remote spot in the middle of the forest. There's a creek about 15 minutes downhill with shallow, fast-flowing, and fairly cold water. The terrain is steep, so maneuvering an RV definitely requires 4WD.

Loved it here. It was very quiet and secluded. It was a good site for tent camping. Very flat and had lots of space. I would 10/10 recommend this place for a weekend getaway.

The check in instructions say, “must text prior to arrival as cell service is spotty.” So I messaged the host 4 hours before arriving. The campsite was 2.5 hours away and I had some stops in between so I thought 4 hours was enough time. It was very concerning that he didn’t get back to me but I assumed someone else was staying that weekend and the gate would be open. Wrong on all counts. No one there. No code. No contact from the host. No way to get in. Tried to get a spot at a nearby campground but no luck so ended up going all the way home. (5 hour round trip) Host messaged me apologizing at 10:00 pm. However a few questions are in order: 1. Why isn’t the code provided with the address and check-in instructions? 2. Why did the host not automatically send me the code the day of check in if I hadn’t contacted him in enough time? I assume Hipcamp let him know he had a guest that day because they had my money and he sent me the address. He did offer to refund my money and offered free stays but could you imagine driving there again and having something like that happen again? I don’t trust his process.
