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.

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:
