Maryland is known for its sun-drenched shores, fishing and boating; camping in and around the Chesapeake Bay delivers on those promises. But Maryland packs a remarkable variety of other adventure options too, including rugged mountains in the north and west and the pastoral hills of Central Maryland. As a plus, the thrills and relaxation provided by camping in Maryland are all within easy access of historic towns and the big cities of Baltimore and Washington, D.C.


Maryland’s beaches have long been a popular family vacation destination. Not far from the bustling Ocean City, campers can find restful fishing and swimming and beautiful ocean sunrises on Assateague Island, a 37-mile strip of sand and marsh where wild horses roam. Find dozens more options for waterfront camping in Maryland on the Eastern Shore in the tributaries of the Chesapeake Bay. Generations of watermen there have harvested blue crabs, oysters, clams, rockfish and their towns retain their red-bricked charm.


Another popular way to see Maryland is to bike or walk parts of old towpath for the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal. The 184.5 miles of easy, shaded trail follows the Potomac River, passing through dozens of historic lockhouses, the breathtaking Great Falls, and historic towns like Harper’s Ferry to connect Washington, D.C. to Cumberland, Maryland. Campers can find sites every few miles.


Mountain lovers can also find camping in Maryland along the remnants of the greater Appalachian range. These sites offer easy access to viewpoints and waterfalls, including the tallest in the state, the 78-foot Cunningham Falls. Sugarloaf Mountain is a small peak south of Frederick, Maryland with a Civil War history that now offers far-reaching vistas on the surrounding vineyards and forests to hikers, rock climbers and campers. Find more options for camping in Maryland’s mountains or beaches on The Dyrt.

Escape the chaos of everyday life and discover true relaxation at our hidden gem glamping site! The Indian Rail Trail, Charles County's most exciting recreational trail, is just a 7-minute drive from your tent! This paved, 13-mile-long, ten-foot-wide path is a great excursion for bikers of all ages and connects the small town of Indian Head on the Potomac River to White Plains. The fairly level trail takes riders through mature forests, natural wetlands, and some farmland. During your stay, you can also take a 10-minute walk through the forest on our property to visit a serene creek.

Your Signature campsite sleeps up to 6-10 campers. The basic booking will accommodate 10 campers with 2 sleeping on the Queen Bed in the platform safari tent and up to 4 additional campers each in the two included pop-up tents. The site also comes with a picnic table, fire pit, and Adirondack chairs where you can kick back and take in the stars at night. Other extras you can add to your booking for added comfort include a twin sized air mattress and a solar generator that can power up to 8 devices. 

History buffs can explore the nearby Thomas Stone Historic Site (6 miles).  Atlantic Kayak Company is a 20-minute drive from the site; they offer kayak rentals and guided expeditions.  For families, Sky Zone Trampoline Park is a fun activity less than a 10-minute drive from the campsite.

There is a Walmart about 10 minutes away if you need any supplies and local produce can be procured on Wednesdays and Saturdays at the La Plata Farmer's Market (12 min drive) between April and November.

The Road To Serenity:
Our road is a quaint old country farm road made of grass and a few gravel patches here and there. It is a bit of a bumpy ride so take it slow and easy as you make your way to our hidden gate-away. There is one sharp left turn over a culvert and some dips and mild inclines so low sitting vehicles should definitely take it slow. The Road narrows as you get closer to the site  but there are reflectors along the way to keep you on the right path. We highly recommend getting there before dark.

Parking:
 Parking is on the grass meadow between the entrance to the meadow and the walking path to the campsite.  Reflectors are in place to outline the parking area. Avoid Driving beyond the parking area and down steep inclines in the meadow as softer ground presents a risk for getting stuck.( See custom property rules). Two gorilla wagons are available in the parking area to help transport your things to the campsite.

Toilet and Shower Set-up:
 There is a privacy tent that contains a toilet seat over a bucket. You put a bag with absorbent materials in the bucket to do your biological business. There is a foot pumped sink for handwashing. There is a portable automatic shower that provides hot water available as well the solar shower bag.

Tents: Two small 6 person tents come free with the reservation. You may add Pre-Set-Up glamping amenities  including a twin air mattress, bedding, side table and lighting, propane heater,icybreeze air conditioner and rugs to these tents for an additional fee of $70/Tent.

Navigation: Waze takes you directly to the campsite. Other GPS systems may take you to the main road. Additional navigation and instructions will be provided upon making a reservation.

The Space:
A private, secluded and relaxing campsite in the heart of Maryland and close to the Indian Rail Trail! Only 30 Minutes from Washington D.C and the National Harbor.

Guest Access:
This is an exclusive Tentrr Signature campsite. Tentrr partners with land owners to offer unique accommodations in beautiful outdoor spaces. Our campsites are off-the-grid which means they generally do not have access to electricity, wifi, or modern plumbing. Instead, they offer the chance to relax, unplug, and fully experience nature! 

Your Tentrr campsite includes a 10'x12' (120 square feet) safari-style canvas tent on a raised wooden platform. Inside the tent you'll find one queen bed or a queen-size bunk bed (see photos for the exact setup). The tent is big enough for the bed plus one or two extra sleeping bags on the floor. Aside from the canvas tent, campers can also use the extra 5-person pop-up dome tent that___s provided. You'll also have a 6-ft picnic table, outdoor fire pit, 2 Tentrr Adirondack chairs, and a heating source to keep you warm and toasty at night. 

Max Occupancy: This refers to the total number of campers allowed onsite with your reservation. 

Toilets: Every campsite is equipped with a camp toilet (we call it the Tentrr Loo). This is a simple wooden box with a toilet seat and a bucket inside. To use, line the bucket with a CleanWaste Sani-Bag supplied at the camp prior to use. Afterwards, simply tie the bag up and place it in a trash bag. CleanWaste Sani-Bags use a NASA-developed gelling/deodorizing agent that helps prevent spills and keeps everyone safe and clean.

Showers: Every Signature campsite comes with a Coleman Sun Shower. The sun shower has a reservoir that holds up to 5 gallons of water, potentially enough for multiple showers. It's constructed of heat-locking material that warms the water when it's left in the sun, even on cool days.

What you should bring:
-S'mores supplies & any food you'd like to eat
-A cooler to keep your grub from spoiling 
-Bedding and pillows

Interaction with Guests:
Upon check out, you should leave-no-trace of your stay and be sure your campsite is returned to its natural glory! While Tentrr does not charge a cleaning fee, we do expect campsites to be left how they were found. After you check out, take everything you brought in and be sure to leave your trash at the designated location on the property. 

If a CampKeeper submits an incident report after your stay that details evidence of trash or damage to the campsite or the CampKeeper___s property, Tentrr reserves the right to charge a minimum cleaning fee of $50. Just make sure to follow the Camper Manual posted at your campsite and you'll be set!

Your CampKeeper is unable to change or cancel your reservation on your behalf, and they are unable to waive any cancellation fees (if applicable).

We are proud members of the AANR - American Association for Nude Recreation

Pine Tree Associates was founded in 1934 and is one of the oldest operating family nudist clubs in the country. Pine Tree is a co-op club, owned and managed by and for the members.

The club is nestled in a tranquil ninety-six acre setting just minutes from downtown Annapolis, Maryland, and a short drive to Baltimore or Washington, D.C.  Although suburban sprawl is everywhere, Pine Tree remains in a relatively rural setting and is adjacent to the Bacon Ridge Natural Area, a passive recreation park of 1,000 acres in Anne Arundel County, Maryland.

Unlike many American Association for Nude Recreation (AANR) clubs, Pine Tree is open 365 days a year. In addition to a large outdoor pool, there is an indoor pool that’s open roughly from Labor Day through Memorial Day. The indoor pool is located in Keyes Hall, named for the founding family. Keyes Hall is also the location of sauna, hot tub and the exercise and game room.

Accommodations at Pine Tree include rental cabins, rental trailers, RV sites, and tent campsites. (Please call to make a reservation before visiting Pine Tree for the first time.)  The Pine Tree campground is a loop road, with sites on the inside and outside of the loop. The campground bathhouse or “Adam and Eve” is located in the center, making it easily accessible from any campsite.
