Bald Eagle Farm on the Patuxent

Great site! My family and I have been to site #4 twice and we enjoyed both times. Highly recommended for a serene getaway. Like our first visit in late October, we wound up only staying one night instead of the two nights we booked which didn't give much time to enjoy our stay. Next time we'll probably drive back home each night (~45 minutes one way) and plan two full days without having to pitch and pack-up a tent. The site picks up a breeze nicely which is good in the warmer weather. But the fall was better for us because of our seasonal allergies and fewer bugs at night. We had no mosquito bites in May but the nats came to party after sunset which made it harder to cook and eat. We forgot our string lights to hang which might have made a difference because the nats were attracted to our lantern lights. The site has two mostly flat places for a 9-person tent (9'x14' - for three of us) and has room to move about without feeling cramped. We went solar for cooking last year and we were able to charge the batteries (Ecoflow Delta 2 Max) even in the fall. The use of the dirt roads at the farm is a plus and the view of the fields is wonderful. It is an awesome backyard to say the least. We brought our bikes to ride, and tried to fly a kite but there wasn't much wind at the time. I briefly flew my drone to get a few shots. Both times we were the only campers there but even if there were others, the campsites are about 1/4 mile apart which gives privacy and quiet.

Overall, we had a nice time. However, there weren’t any firewood & no response from the owner to our message.

Unexpected jewel of a campsite

Tent · With pets ·

What I liked - it was far enough from the other campers that I felt like it i was our place. there were ample trees for hammocks. it was peaceful and serene. It was a really quaint, restorative place to spend a night. My hubby wished the kayak access was a little better and that we had planned sound thentides better - but the tides are what they are (and if you don't adhere to them, you may be on the mud, waiting for the water to come in). It was a spur of the moment trip, but we would definitely go again. And the last hi-lite, we got to spend the morning watching a snapping turtle laying eggs - so freaking cool! And, I may have seen DelMarVa squirrel too - not confirmed - but I did see a *huge* squirrel!

Very peaceful, very quiet, the view of the Patuxent river from the site is great. Plenty of space back in the trees for a small tent or three, and it is just dense enough to feel like you are isolated in the wilderness. While it's unfortunate that the rain and wind out a damper on the boy's weekend trip with my 3 year old, we still had a good time!

Camping with our dog!

Tent · With pets ·

We stayed at Site 4 for two nights, and we’ve never experienced such peace and solitude. Walking around the farm in the early morning and evening was indescribably beautiful—something we’ll never forget. The best part was watching our energetic dog absolutely thrive. He ran freely, explored every scent of nature. It brought us so much joy to laugh and talk without worrying about anyone else around us. We’re already planning to come back this fall. I highly recommend this place to anyone seeking true solitude and a deep connection with nature!

Super solitude - close enough to DC - far from restaurants - but payback is the quiet and isolation - lovely scenery - was just me out there - loved it

Bald Eagle Farm was incredible. The site was very private tucked back along the Patuxent River. I will definitely stay here again!

Loved camping on the property. Our dog loved running along the tree line. We saw a bald eagle the first few minutes while setting up. Great birding!

Perfect quiet getaway

Tent · With pets ·

I just spent an entire wonderful weekend camping at Bald Eagle Farm. The farm is huge and I was tucked away in a woodsy corner surrounded by peak fall foliage. In the distance you could see the Patuxent River. There are two other campsites, but you would never know. This is a perfect getaway if you need a little solitude. My dogs loved running around the huge cornfield! Yates and his son greeted me upon arrival and were warm and friendly . I would 100% come back.

Bald Eagle Farm is quiet and beautiful. The campsites are so far apart, you never know other folks are camping there. I love this place. It’s always clean too. I hope to be back this season, if not in the next year.

Lovely spot

Tent · With pets ·

We had a good time here. Some lovely views of the Patuxent, the campsite was very comfortable and easy to get to. Our dogs were overjoyed to be off leash and we had some lovely meals by the campfire. We were able to find ample wood for on the forest floor. The only disappointment was we sadly left our walking stick.

Sky stargazing-

I absolutely loved Yetes's campground! It’s a wonderfully quiet spot, and at night, the clear sky is perfect for stargazing. The campsites are well spaced out, which adds to the peaceful atmosphere. Highly recommend it for a serene getaway!

Secluded, quiet, beautiful

I had a great time camping at here! It was super close to the town where my folks live, and not far from anything I could need, while still being beautifully off the beaten path. Secluded, quiet, beautiful — what more could you ask for?! I can’t wait to come back. And, the space was pretty big! I’m looking forward to bringing my family on my next trip.

This is a nice, well maintained site. Very quiet and private. I wasn’t the only one on the property but it felt like it. I was near the pond and birds and dragonflies were everywhere. Fireflies put on a great show at night. I would come back!

I really enjoy camping here: the countryside and farm are beautiful; there is a lot of space between campsites so it is quiet; and safe enough to sleep with the camper doors wide open. The dogs can run loose, so they love it too! Yates is a good host and gave his time to help me find a lost cell phone.

Great Site!

Great site! Just a note: the water supply is a significant walk or drive from each individual camp site (esp. sites 3/4) so plan accordingly. Also, could not get in touch with host prior to arrival.

Solitude and nature.

Tent ·

Beautiful views. No other campers or signs of civilization visible from my site. Very quiet. Just the sounds of nature. If you want to get away from it all, this is the place. The site was clean and easy to get to. Yates went above and beyond helping me resolve a minor vehicle emergency. You couldn’t ask any more from a HipCamp host. I plan on another visit in the fall.

Beautiful property and clean. Definitely plan to return. Messaged the host via hipcamp app prior to arrival with a general question but unfortunately did not receive a response. No problems however, with a smooth self check in process.

One of the best campsites I’ve been too. Very private. The view was spectacular. The dogs adored the water. It was accessible and the fire wood and sign in was easy to find. We had missed it at first but came back around to it. We left wood for the next campers and a poker stick!
