Looking for a personal retreat or get away ? Escape to our beautiful, RUSTIC 32 acre wild homestead / farm. We are 10 minutes from the Potomac River, 10 minutes from Opequon Creek, 20 from Antietam Creek and 30 minutes from the Shenandoah River. Harper's Ferry is 30 minutes way and downtown Historic Shepherdstown is just down the road. We are also close to several state parks. - What do we mean by "RUSTIC" ? The camping experience we offer is about unplugging from the modern world , getting back to basics, slowing down and re-connecting with the land. Simply put, this is CAMPING .... not glamping. (Our Cosmic Cottage is also rustic, despite the amenities that come with it). - CAMPSITES and TREEHOUSE - No electricity or wifi on the land. Campsites and TREEHOUSE are nestled in the woods. So although your vehicle will be parked within 50 ft or so from site, you cannot pull directly up to the site and get any closer because of the trees. - SHOWER and PORTA POTTY - roughly a 5 minute or less walk from sites to shower and / or porta potty. Shower hours are 8 am- to 8 pm. The shower has hot and cold running water . You can drive to the shower if you need to. - RESPONSE TIME - This is a working herb farm/ sanctuary and we so do not always have our phones on us. We will make every effort to respond to you within a few hours. Please be patient and you will receive a response. -BOOKING - If you are interested in booking and / or availability, go to the HIPCAMP BOOKING CALENDAR and enter the dates you are interested in. for the most up to date accurate info on availability. - Feel free to wander through the herb gardens, eat your meals in the garden pavilion (we have picnic tables there and hammocks), get your Zen on in the meditation hut , and stroll through the woodland medicine path where we grow endangered and at at risk plant plants. (heads up.. the woodland medicine path goes to seed by the Fall and is usually munched down by the deer by then, but is still a nice short stroll in the woods).

Tiny Treehouse on the Farm

It was a great place to stay. Could hear the cows mooing and dog barking.

Lovely stay

Hillary has a wonderful space! The outdoor shower is a nice touch, and even with the camping area full on labor day weekend we never had to wait for it. We ended up eating in town for every meal, but if you want to cook at the camp, keep in mind that there's no sink available. Hillary was warm and welcoming each time we ran into her, and the area is set up so it's easy to be self sufficient.

Second time staying here! Always such a lovely time. If you need a break from the city I highly recommend you spend a few nights here.

Cosmic Cottage

Nice mix of rugged with glamping. Communal shower was nice. Outhouse and porta potty were okay. The cottage itself worked well and we enjoyed it.

Escape!!!!

I had an amazing time, I set up my tent had my campfire they also had firewood available, I took a tour of the properties hung out in the treehouse had an amazing outdoor shower with a wonderful View of the fields full of fresh green vegetables with the sun in my face. I was not disturbed by anyone and was not far from any of the shopping for necessities. Had a wonderful time and would definitely rebook

A welcoming space!

We arrived at night at the Sacred Roots Herbal Sanctuary. Everything was so well described and maintained that (even though it was dark) we felt safe. and welcomed. We only had a little time in the morning toexplore and want to return sometime and stay longer.
