The Garden operates as a working farm campground in Damascus, Maryland, where hosts James and his wife provide both drive-in and walk-in camping options. The forested property sits near a creek and accommodates big rigs alongside tent campers, with sites ranging from $15-$55 per night.
Campers can expect drinking water, picnic tables, and firewood availability, plus the flexibility of campfire and alcohol policies that work for various group sizes. One recent visitor noted the immediate sense of being "taken care of" upon late arrival, highlighting the personal attention from the farm hosts. Those wanting more developed facilities might consider Little Bennett Campground as an alternative.
Description
The property is a modest 20 acre homestead located in Damascus, MD with 12 acres of woodland and a creek! Camping here also allows you access to the farm with friendly chickens, ducks, turkeys, pigs, cows, horses, sheep, goats, giant rabbits, cats, and dogs! If you enjoy farming, gardening, pastures, trees, creeks, natural springs, cabins or just hiding out in the woods; there's a great chance you will enjoy camping at our place. Pitch your tent anywhere in the woods or in a field or stay in the cabin equipped with a wood stove. We have trails wide enough to drive down so parking and set up is easy. Both campsites and RV sites are self contained. No electric or water hook ups and no restrooms yet (coming soon); so bring a composting unit if you wish.
