Nestled within 45 acres of wooded hills and valleys, Estes Place offers a tranquil retreat just 5 miles from the Town of Hancock. Situated near the scenic C&O Rail Trail, ideal for paved walking, running, and biking, our location also boasts proximity to popular eateries such as IHOP, Burger King, Pizza Hut, and a variety of local dining options. With capacity for over a dozen tent sites, each offering unique accessibility, seclusion, and amenities, Estes Place caters to a range of camping preferences. Our two main sites feature fire rings for campfires (weather permitting), along with a porta-potty for convenience. Site one is accessible to small campers and pop-up trailers, while sites 3 and beyond are accessible by walking, backpacking, ATV, or very small compact 4WD vehicles. Explore approximately 2 miles of moderate to intense loop hiking trails and gravel roads, meandering past half a dozen year-round streams and foot-long waterfalls teeming with salamanders, frogs, and crayfish. Experience the vibrant wildlife that inhabits our surroundings, from daily sightings of deer and squirrels to nightly visits from barred owls and bats. Keep an eye out for occasional appearances by turkey, sapsuckers, woodpeckers, porcupines, raccoons, foxes, and coyotes, with the possibility of encountering a black bear annually and even a rare sighting of a mountain lion. During March through June, lucky visitors may stumble upon up to 8-inch black morel mushrooms, while certain years bring the elusive cicada and their deafening buzz. Summer nights are illuminated by enchanting displays of lightning bugs (fireflies) amidst the warmer temperatures.This is the main campsite for tents and small camping trailers and pop-ups! There is a fire pit for campfires (weather permitting), and a rustic bathroom/porta potty. There is level space for parking and turning around, but there are no hookups of trailers. This is our most accessable and accommodating location. 4WD recommended in wet conditions.

Great, secluded spot!
We recently stayed at a here and couldn't have been more pleased with the experience. The level of privacy was exceptional—perfect for those looking to truly escape and enjoy some peaceful solitude in nature. The landowners were incredibly friendly and went out of their way to ensure our stay was comfortable. Devyn's communication was prompt and helpful, making the entire process smooth from start to finish. If you're looking for a secluded getaway with attentive hosts who respect your space but are ready to assist when needed, this is the perfect spot. Would absolutely rebook for another stay!
