We had a great experience at Stephanie's camp. She was welcoming and very helpful getting us settled in. The site has great access to the river and feels secluded. We hope to be back soon!

Great tucked away site with easy access to the C&O canal for walking, biking etc. We rode our bikes into town for lunch and really enjoyed exploring the area.

10/10 recommend this site! I liked that the campsite is far enough away from the street to be out of site but close enough that it's not a burden to run back to the car to get things/put stuff back. We had plenty of space for my group of six (three tents) and loved cooking over the camp fire. The two picnic tables were also very helpful. Although you can't see the water from this camp site, being surrounded by trees means lots of privacy and lots of lovely dappled light. It's just a quick walk to the water and very lovely there as well. Stephanie and Tim were lovely and responsive hosts throughout, including lending us a jumper cable when one of our cars wouldn't start on the last day. We loved this location and spent time in Antietam, Williamsport and Harper's Ferry. Oh, and the drive to the campsite is LOVELY - rolling fields, country roads, happy houses. We would love to come back some day!

Awesome stay!

Tent · With kids

This is my second time staying at this hip camp site and I can't say enough nice things about it! Both Stephenie and Tim are great hosts and went out of their way to make sure we had a nice stay (even bringing by their farm pig for a quick visit, which a toddler in our camp group loved!). It's also a nice perk to be able to rent paddle boards and bikes from them. We had a great stay and would love to return again next year!

The host was very helpful and showed me the path to the site and how to get to the river. It was much appreciated. The site also had a wash station which was great! A very peaceful site. Would visit again.
