We had planned a tent campout with our Boy Scout Troop for the weekend of Dec 5-6, 2009 at the Maple Tree Campground. Our intent was to do some hiking near Harpers Ferry. By the time we arrived at the Campground the snow was falling fast. Our hosts at Maple Tree graciously offered us the use of 3 treehouses at... More

While I am familiar with the true nature of roughing it, I chose this location in order to have the best of both worlds. My fiancé is an avid camper and hiker and has been to this campground a number of other times. Although his last two trips were less than spectacular due to a lack of customer service from... More

Dear Strangewitch, I was amazed to read your review because my recollection of events is quite different. When you came to check out early, I never doubted you were ill, and I never used the word "inconvenience." Since you did not make a gesture to settle the balance on your bill, I was under the impression you believed since you... More

This year would have been my third year at camp and I love every minute of it. My friends and I always go Memorial Day weekend and it's a blast. We stay in the tree cottages which are always very clean and have awesome beds. The mattresses there are more comfortable then mine at home!! During the past years we... More

Favorites- sunshine in the outdoor shower, very helpful and friendly camp hostess and host, setting- privacy, location to GREAT things to do. I usually stay in state parks- not much on private campgrounds- but this one was just fine. We had no issues with anything, had fun, will return. Basically there are 2 people keeping this place going, and its... More

Absolutely love this place! Great place to escape the daily grind and relax around the fire. I go to be lazy and get away, while going on the occasional hike. But if you are looking for more action, there are plenty of fun things to do close-by. The AT provides a nice hike, not to mention the view from Weaverton... More

Stumbled on this place looking for campsites in Maryland, and will definitely go back. "Tree houses" are actually houses raised on stilts in the midst of trees. Each campsite is about 1/4 acre, far more than one would get in a more traditional campground. It was just what I was looking for -- a clean and comfortable place in a... More

We had 4 families and reserved the 3 new tree cottages: Willow, Cypress, Bonsai and 1 tree house Oriole. This was a perefct set-up... More

Two familes joined there for a weekend in mid October. We had been there years before. Though we love the area and the owner is very nice, it is difficult to not have hot showers indoors this time of year. The outdoor showers are useless. Also the roads and paths are beaten up and our van could barely pass the... More

Dear Staying, Out of 8 cottages, 2 were swarmed by stink bugs last fall, and it took us by surprise. This is not a cleanliness issue, these bugs stowed away from Japan, are not indigenous, and have no natural predator in this area. Since then I have contacted the Dept of Agriculture and half a dozen etymologists and have learned... More
