All to yourself

100% of recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp felt private.

They say a rainy day on the lake is better than a sunny day in the city and with the cool waterfront breezes, fishing and canoeing, early evening tequila on the dock, and a generally life-affirming vibe beckoning, who are we to argue with that logic? Bring your sleeping bag and pitch your tent in our designated camping spot that offers a picnic table, fire pit and beautiful river and scenic lake views. Wake to see deer drinking at the lake or geese swimming and fishing in the lake and creek. At night clearly see all the stars that twinkle while enjoying total peace and quiet. The lake is stocked with a variety of fish and fishing is allowed. We have two wooded acres behind our house that offer a safe, quiet, secluded spot to spend some time relaxing, away from the horns blaring, sirens screaming and cars honking. Located just 20 minutes outside the beltway we offer a close getaway that makes it feel like the city is hours away. The site is located in an area of expensive homes with each property being 3 or more acres and inhabited with some of the friendliest people you'll meet. They wave at you when you pass and if close enough, will speak and exchange a few friendly words. Nearby are great sites to visit. The Dr. Samuel Mudd house, Regency furniture Stadium, a site for amateur baseball games, the Schaegel Farms where the kids can play. eat lunch, pet all the animals and pick fresh strawberries, and the Scary Strokes indoor miniature golf course set to a Halloween theme. See the "DC at Dusk" guided tour in Wash, DC and see DC lit up at night on a guided mini-bus tour. Drive by and stop at some of the city’s top memorials and attractions, including the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, the Marine Corps War Memorial, and the Lincoln Memorial, which are usually less crowded after dark. With transportation and navigation taken care of, all you have to do is sit back, relax, and sightsee. Want to have a little fun at the slot machines or poker tables? The MGM Grand is only about twenty minutes away in National Harbor which offers an outlet mall with many shopping and eating venues. They also have concerts with big celebrities, free jazz concerts outdoors every Thursday, a variety of restaurants plus a huge Ferris Wheel that lets you see DC. Maryland and VA all from a great vantage point. There's a camping toilet on site in it's own shelter offering privacy when the need arises. Parking is in our driveway and the site is about 30 yards away, a two minute walk along a lighted pathway. Camper vans or trailers will not be able to drive to or park at the camping area and are therefore not recommended.

Amazing camp site

I had an amazing experience staying at this campsite! The host was incredible—super accommodating, attentive, and always available when needed, but also respectful of our privacy, which we really appreciated. The lake was beautiful with a small pond runoff, and there were so many fish! We caught bass and bluegill, and the water was shallow enough to wade out on warm days. Throughout the day, especially in the mornings, we saw deer wandering by, which added a special touch. The campsite itself was well equipped. There was a picnic table, a trash bin, and even some chairs you could use, which made things so convenient. We loved the campfire area, and the space for our tents was nicely secluded. There’s also a lovely trail around the lake and through the woods that made for a peaceful walk. Although we didn’t venture out much during our stay, the location is great—close to the city and lots of activities if you want to explore. Overall, it was a fantastic camping experience, and I highly recommend it!

We loved staying at Oscar’s. He was very friendly and the spot was secluded. The lake was so nice to take our kayaks on and the starts at night we’re amazing. I’d definitely recommend staying here!

Oscars' Oasis

This is a beautiful private setting with a lovely trail around the ponds. The water level was low but there is a canoe available. There was a great screened gazebo with a picnic table for our use as well as fishing poles and corn hole game. Unfortunately housekeeping issues were sorely neglected. Trash was full in the receptacle, the non composting toilet needed to be emptied, and there was an empty cartridge toilet and 5 gallon bucket strewn on the site.

Perfect Camp Spot!

Loved our stay at Oscar's Oasis! He was very friendly and understanding when talking about everything. Perfect view of the stars from the clearing by the water. Camp was so cute and had all the necessities we needed. Definitely going again since it is perfectly placed just outside the busy city life
