Weekend Trip to Possum Tail Farm

The plot is pretty much what everyone else has said and described. Very basic but the campsite area is clean which we appreciated very much. Jennifer and her husband were very accommodating with what we needed to set up our SUV tent. Like Jennifer said the view of the sunset was beautiful and we loved seeing the cows, hearing the frogs and knowing that Bishop the dog had us "safe" over night ;) We ended up having to leave one night early and again Jennifer made sure we got looked after so as hosts I would give them 5 stars out of 5! Tasty eggs too 😋

Weekend Trip to Sleepy Hollow Campground

Beautiful area, charming camp ground, excellent host! We can’t wait to return when we’re back exploring gorgeous Western Maryland!!

Weekend Trip to Bear Run Farms

Wonderful place to camp! Cabin was clean and nicely organized. The outdoor fire place is definitely a luxury and it’s equipped to cook on top as well. We really enjoyed the lake and playground on the property. Host was responsive and accommodating.

1 night at Brooklyn Heights Riverfront Camp

Love this campground. Vincent was really helpful, upgraded me to a cabin when weather looked rough. Really beautiful area, right on the river. There is a nice communal sitting area and a communal fire pit. Lots of different types of sites, something for everyone.

1 night at Bear Run Farms

Hosts were super kind and welcoming. Very understanding when we arrived later than planned.

2 nights at Possum Tail Farm

Jennifer was very warm and kind and immediately ready for us upon our arrival. The campsite is very large and private, and the compost potty is a very neat idea! We got rained out unfortunately, but it was overall a very great experience and I would recommend it to anyone! Bishop the big goofy lovey dog was a wonderful surprise as well!!!

Weekend Trip to Bear Run Farms

The blue basin was beautiful in person and clean. We would definitely come back again. Very family friendly. Plenty of space for kids to run around, playground, and tubes/paddle boats were provided for the water. Outhouses were clean and within good walking distance. While very spacious, I can’t say waterfront tent site 2 gave us the privacy we had hoped for, the two sites were maybe 100-200ft apart. We would actually recommend waterfront tent site 1 over waterfront site 2, especially for those with children. We say this because the fire pit was close to the slope for site 2 (which may not be safe for kids), site 1 was closer to the outhouse, directly in front of the playground, and closer to a dock. Site 1 also had more wood available and their tiki torches worked. If you’re looking for plenty of land to run around with activities and something fun for the kids, this is your spot. If you’re looking for something more private and quiet, this may not be it. Overall we hope to come back with a bigger group and rent both sites. Would definitely recommend Amber’s land. She even came to greet us which was nice.

Weekend Trip to Bear Run Farms

Our site was secluded and clean! Had. A small stream with waterfall and was wonderful to sleep beside! Hosts were amazing, they brought firewood to us and let us use their mattresses pump super nice place and people!

3 nights at Brooklyn Heights Riverfront Camp

Great campground, very kind host, and a lot of nice memories made!

2 nights at Brooklyn Heights Riverfront Camp

The campground is nicely situated in a valley away from public eye. We were the only ones staying at the primitive tent site for two nights. The campsites are nicely nestled within tall trees that provide plenty of wood for the fire. The campground does offer firewood for a great price. Unfortunately we had brought our own wood, but there was also plenty of wood to forage for and we ended up leaving a nice pile for the next camper. Watch for small branchs and twigs falling. The wildlife viewing was pretty awesome and the night sky was great for stargazing. Dont forget to bring a hammok for your site. Highly recommend this location. PS, very clean toilet!!!!

Weekend Trip to Bear Run Farms

Great camping site. I really enjoyed my time, felt very safe, and the hosts came by to introduce themselves and light the tiki torches.

Weekend Trip to EarthSky Private Camp & Retreat

Great camping spot! The site are close enough to go with friends and not a far walk but far enough for privacy. Spot one is the close to the outhouse! Beautiful river front view! Will definitely rent again since it’s only 2hrs from Pittsburgh! My son also rented his own site with his friends! The host came and offered to go get some hot dogs for them as we weren't there yet with food. The firewood is $10 a bundle.

Weekend Trip to Brooklyn Heights Riverfront Camp

Enjoyed the stay, clean, quiet place. Vincent was very welcoming, and definitely desires for people to have a fun relaxing time. We were there in late winter/early spring so didn't get to experience everything he has to offer, but planning on another stay for sure.

1 night at Brooklyn Heights Riverfront Camp

We loved our stay here! Vincent was an excellent host, very friendly and helpful! We enjoyed foraging for firewood and camping under a clear and beautiful starry night sky. Very peaceful. Would for sure recommend!

Weekend Trip to Bear Run Farms

If I had one last day on earth- my dying wish would be to spend it here. I chose this site for my 51st birthday and the universe aligned with this beautiful place. What a gorgeous, serene, and breathtaking view of the pond, the windmills, the rolling hills, the fuzzy adorable cows and geese. I felt like I was in Abruzzo, Italy the woods and the breeze felt just like it! <3 Amber is so welcoming and fantastic, and the cabin is so cozy and perfect. I only counted sleeps and lost complete track of time, a perfect place to write and paint. I recommend bringing a strong battery light and a shortwave radio. I gazed among an ocean of stars, I forgot how stunning the sky can be without light pollution. Thank you Amber, for hosting a spot where I could truly rest and breathe as a solo traveler, I hope to return every year for my birthday <3 Seriously, any solo travelers considering this idyllic hideaway, you need this and deserve it.

Weekend Trip to Brooklyn Heights Riverfront Camp

Brooklyn Heights Campground is a fantastic place to stay! The campground is well-maintained and very clean, making for a comfortable and enjoyable experience. The host was amazing—friendly, welcoming, and attentive to guests’ needs. One thing to note is that it can get quite windy, so be prepared if you’re tent camping or setting up an awning. That said, the price was very fair for the quality of the facilities and hospitality. Overall, a great spot for a relaxing getaway!

Weekend Trip to Bear Run Farms

This place is amazing! Not only are you getting great accommodations but you’re getting two great hosts. Larry and Amber are fantastic. We stayed in the Overlook Cabin, two bunk beds with trundle beds underneath, extremely clean and cozy with an assortment of amenities. Water bottles, cups, candles, plenty of blankets and pillows, bug spray and some grilling equipment. Propane heater inside was wonderful! You also have two picnic tables outside, chairs and a propane grill. The outhouse was amazingly clean! 10/10, can’t wait to go back! We had a blast!

Weekend Trip to Bear Run Farms

We had an amazing time! The water really is that blue and clear!! Amber was amazing and and their hospitality really made our trip great, their property is awesome and the spots were very private and secluded. We will definitely come back again!

Weekend Trip to Cheat View Outpost

Excellent piece of land. Nice and open for a few of us using tents and one camping in their vehicle. Loved the extra large fire ring!

Weekend Trip to Bear Run Farms

Warm, cozy cabin with a unique view—blue blue blue clear lake, moonrise over the ridge line, and a bird’s eye view of windmills! Hosts put in a lot of effort on little comforts, like a rocking chair, hammock, tiki torches, and solar powered lights. Outhouse clean and pleasant. Super comfy bed. You can see the other campsites in the winter but they’re unobtrusive. Wonderful spot!

Sleepy Hollow Campground

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 Campground/Retreat

31 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents20 acres · Mt. Storm, WV

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!

All Ferns Most of the Time

1 site · RV, Tent20 acres · Rockwood, PA

This spot is best for a van camp location but plenty of space for tents and hammocks. You'll find a drive-up deck if you wish to park there. Firewood is available providing you use downfalls as kindling in the stone fire pit. A 8x20' deck and picnic table are 20 feet from the fire for stargazing. When the ferns are full grown they are 3 feet tall and everywhere. A 10 minute walk takes you through a dense pine forest with large rock formations and a nice creek with many gurgling fall areas. If there looks like a cave amongst the large rocks, then it probably is a bear den. There is a lot to do near by. Some note worthy locations : Cranberry Glade Lake (good for kayaking or fishing), Ohiopyle, 7 Springs, Fallingwater, Living Treasures, Caddie Shak, and Hidden Valley are all about 25 minutes away. This property also borders Laurel Ridge State Park. There is a Dollar General and a gas station about 15 minutes away for convenience needs.
