Learn more about this land: The Blackwater Snakehead Campsite is the perfect location for those that like to explore and experience nature when they travel. Located only 4.5 miles from Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge and the Harriett Tumban National Park this campsite is the perfect match to your trip to visit Dorchester County. The campsite is perfect for "getting off the grid" and for "social distancting." But for those that wish to dine, shop, and explore Downtown Cambridge, it is only a 10 minute drive into town! The campsite is in the middle of a farm field next to a wildlife impediment, behind our farm barn and our home. For the past two years an osprey has built a nest in the field adjacent to the campsite! Thee campsite has a picnic table, fire pit, and composting toilet within an outhouse! During the summer/fall months the fields are grown up in Corn and Soybeans. During the winter/spring months, after the harvest, the fields are open. The campsite is located close to Pitcher Dam Creek, where you are welcome to put your Kayak over and fish for Snakeheads! The space is also a perfect spot for hunters to lodge while they are hunting on public land at Blackwater Refuge or private land in Cambridge/Dorchester County!The Blackwater Snakehead Campsite is the perfect location for those that like to explore and experience nature when they travel.

Nice Dark Sky for Astronomy
Neat site, arrived at sunset to see Stars, glad lights on nearby buildings were motion controlled and went out.

Blackwater Snakehead Campsite
I came to fish in my kayak. Trying to launch my kayak was a huge problem dragging it over old pallets. The boards on the pallets broke numerous times and I sunk over my knees in mud. Would have fished later but was worried i would kill myself trying to maneuver the palleys in the dark. Felt fortunate I never hurt myself that being said I came to fish and I have never had better luck. Caught my first dragon and 2 other large snakeheads. My passion for fishing may drive me to come back but hope the pallets have been replaced.

Snakehead summer
This was my second time back at the camp, this time to dip the kayak in and explore. Fished for snakeheads and caught enough of the freak fish to satisfy my tastes. Camp was perfect and teeming with wildlife as usual.
