Nomadic camping

Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.

Basecamp Frederick is located on almost 2 acres adjacent to the Frederick Municipal Forest & Watershed on Hamburg Rd. There is a small creek that borders one side of the property, a wooded area in the back, and access to trails across the street. This area of Frederick is prime for outdoor activities such as cycling, hiking, fishing, foraging, and wildlife watching. Both Gambrill State Park and Catoctin Mountain Park are nearby and easy to access for day trips.You will be parking on a graded, gravel area at the far end of our property (down from the house). It is in a small wooden grove near the creek and next to the Frederick Watershed Forest. Hamburg Rd runs next to the property. It is relatively quiet during the week but gets busy on the weekends. The Frederick Municipal Forest/Watershed is great for outdoor activities all times of year. Gambrill State Park and Catoctin Mountain Park are also nearby. Note: We do have a camera at this side of the property for security purposes.

Easy to find and park at- on creek!

20 ft campervan

Wonderful Hipcamp site that is easy to find and easy to park at (20 foot truck). Hosts (Alex and Chris) are super communicators and made me feel welcome. After they pointed out some things in the immediate area (including some hiking trails), I was left on my own to enjoy this remarkable spot right on a creek! All night I could hear it. Initially, I was a bit concerned at how close the spot was to the road but after about 9pm (on a Tuesday night), I didn’t hear much of anything beyond the creek babbling. I slept wonderfully well. The plan was to head out at 8am, but the spot is amazing and I elected to stay another hour and half just enjoying my hot beverage and the creek. Cell service wise, AT&T 5G with 4 bars. I was able to hotspot my cell phone and take care of some work. The site was level. If I’m ever within 50 miles of this spot again and need a place to stay, I will be back at this HipCamp site. Thank you to Alex and Chris for doing HipCamp right!
