PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE DESCRIPTION BEFORE BOOKING... 30 acres of mostly reclaimed farmland. We are located where Glade Creek flows into the Monocacy River. There is evidence of civil war activity here and the old river ford is on our property. Creek and river access make this a beautiful, peaceful place that is full of life. The energy here is overwhelmingly positive. Our house was built in the 1850s and the neighboring farm was built shortly after—lots of history on this property. You will be able to camp right next to Glade Creek which is always cool, clean, and refreshing. Our goal with opening the land up for camping is to eventually phase out commercial farming on the property and transform it into woodlands using native plants and trees. We've already started by planting hundreds of native tree species along the creek and river banks. Each camper gets us closer to that goal! Thanks for your support! See our map in the gallery for a complete overview of our property including site locations. Please note that you will need to drive back through the crossing to access the portable toilet. Property occasionally floods. Zero flash floods, just slow river overflow. Check this site for flooding info. https://water.weather.gov/ahps2/hydrograph.php?gage=fdkm2 Flood stage is 15 feet.

Site Three - Pelpa

Camping with preteens

What a great camping spot!! It's beautiful and I love having the water to wake up to. Having restaurants less than 10min turned out perfectly when dinner didn't work out so we needed food in a pinch.

Everything was cool and it went just how wanted it to be. We'll definitely visit again in the summer.

Site North - Mr. Dennis

This was a great trip! The site was cleared out and included a fire ring. Land is relatively flat which made tent camping easy! There is a bit of noise from nearby roadways, so if that bothers you bring earplugs for sleeping.

Site Three - Pelpa

It was well groomed . Easy to navigate to the site location. There was firewood setup next the small fire pit ready to use. Was a super cool creek crossing to get to site location. Very private with a nice view of the river.

Site One - Stanley Tucci

Beautiful property, very spacious, and clean. Directions were easy to follow, clearly marked signs for each area. Sites are far from each other. We stayed at site 1, which had an odd couple of structures, and what looked like a place where junk kind of gets thrown. There was a paddle boat filled with stagnant, smelly water, which my dog promptly drank from. It was a really pretty and nice space. but expensive for what it is. After fees/taxes it was $58+, no running water, or toilet near by, seems expensive to just have someone sleep on your property without having to interact or do more than keep up the property. I would fully recommend this place if the price was half what it is. But it is still a beautiful property. And it was perfect for a last minute, instant check in. I'd recommend planning better and camping in the local parks.
