Great place to stay for a few nights. The brewery, 1781, and the pumpkin spice beer were amazing. The locals were all nice conversation and I enjoyed my time. Also, there gentlemen that showed me where to park, so I didn't get stuck in the snow storm. Definitely recommend

My friends and I enjoyed our recent stay here. It's so close to DC, where we all live, and having the brewery onsite is a plus. There are a few things to keep in mind before coming out, however.
First, the camp site is literally an open crop field. You can set up anywhere except the area next to the pond. The open field makes for great stargazing at night, but does leave you exposed during the day. The only shade you'll have is what you provide, so I highly recommend bringing a pop-up canopy or something similar. You will also need to bring your own fire pit (think solo stove or something similar), as there isn't one on site. Some of the photos posted by previous campers show a ground fire are near the pond but that area is actually off-limits. The field is next to a well-traveled road so you'll hear traffic until it dies down at night. The brewery also features live music, which carried over to the camping area until about 9 or so. There is a Sheetz and 7-11 just outside the farm. Neither had firewood for sale during our stay, but Pitkin's Hardware just down the road had plenty. There is also a Food Lion about a 5-min drive away.
I mention all of this so that future campers know what to expect. We had a nice time camping here. The brewery and vineyard are lovely, and I must say that the beer was quite good! We bought a couple growlers and I suspect we'll return for another weekend getaway in the future since it's so close to home.

This place is definitely beautiful and was quite convenient to many wineries and breweries. We enjoyed feeling like we were in a very secluded area and at the same time being so conveniently located. Everyone at the brewery is also very friendly and eager to help when you need it.
The one thing you should know is this is a farm so lots of animals and lots of animal noises. There is a pond near the camp site that is filled with geese that are very vocal. Lots of dogs barking and you will hear roosters and chickens. It didn’t bother me but if you are a light sleeper, that might keep you up at night.
Over all though, this place is just beautiful and I would come back when I’m in the area again.

We really enjoyed camping at Wilderness Run. We checked in with the bartender at the brewery and he gave us quick directions on how to find a spot to set up. We ended up camping close to the pond, which was a nice spot for the night. We took our solo stove with us, so we used that for our firepit. There was one already built a little ways from where we were, however that area was not very flat, so it wasn’t a great spot for a tent. We were close to the brewery/winery, so we spent the evening there listening to music and then walked back to our site. There are a lot of chicken, roosters, geese, and dogs, so there is noise throughout the evening, but that doesn’t bother us (considering we’re in nature and there are animals). I’d just recommend some earplugs if you’re a light sleeper. Everyone we met was super friendly. We will definitely be returning!
