We have a beautiful forested mountain that sits at the southern edge of the GreenRidge State Forest. We sit on top of the Paw Paw tunnel and have access to the C and O Canal Trail. We view this place has nature's forest that we are stewards of. We are reclaiming this land that was clear cut over a hundred years ago for an apple orchard and then used as a sawmill and car dump. We have a beautiful deciduous and pine forest with an incredible scenic mountain top that can view the Potomac River at one end. Each day we are working the land to create a beautiful back to nature spot for campers, hikers, bikers, river and travel enthusiasts. Currently we are suited for being a “bring all your stuff with you” camping as we are completely off grid.

Hilltop Camp 1

Camping near trail 2 PawPaw tunnel

My husband, young daughter, and I loved camping at this site. It had a well marked path that led to the hiking loop to PawPaw tunnel and a lovely little picnic area with a clean porta potty. There were two comfortable chairs and a table by the fire pit, available firewood, and privacy. The host was responsive and easy to communicate with. We were not bothered during our stay. We look forward to coming back! PS. A couple of good to knows (1) As the host description says, you def need a sturdy vehicle to get up the hill or be ready to hike a fairly steep hill with your gear. (2) The first night that we were there we heard a few trains passing through the town as well as dogs barking. The second night was quieter.

Potomac View

We had a great time! Nice view, good accommodations, lotsa firewood. Rained most of the time but we still had fun.

Potomac View

We were super late getting to Kat’s campsite but she and her husband were patiently waiting for us when we arrived there in the dark. The site was very clean, safe, and had a breathtaking view. Totally recommend!

Hilltop Camp 1

Had a nice visit to the Hilltop Camp. Site was clean and as described. Tim was a great host, met me as I arrived and made sure I had what I needed, very friendly, supplied a jug of water, plenty of firewood around as Tim has been cleaning in and around the site. Lots of pine so easy to get a fire going. As others noted the hill was a steep climb but my motorcycle made it up fine. Would visit again for sure.

Potomac View

Came here with my daughter and a friend and stayed at Potomac View site. Lots of room for kids to run around and explore and the Paw Paw tunnel close by was a good distraction for half the day. More of a car camping setup and better for stargazing than the other site which is a short walk up the hill. We came on a new moon weekend and skies were super clear. Could just barely see the Milky Way with my naked eye but got excellent pics with long exposure settings on iPhone. Overall I would recommend this site. There were limited choices as far as flat spots to set up tent but the free and plentiful firewood, water jug with pump, clear open skies and price more than made up for this.
