Maple Grove farm is a twenty acre preserved livestock and hay farm in Harford County Maryland. It is home to sheep, alpaca, an old horse, chickens , dogs, and a cat or two. The world headquarters for Remsberg Inc Photo Studios is in the older farmhouse on the property and we lead photo safaris and workshops in Africa and England through the year. Our crack team of Border Collies are here to assist you with all your outdoor activity needs from frisbee tossing to ball throwing. Gather around the fire under the stars and listen to the sounds of sheep doing whatever it is sheep do with one of our loaner dogs at your feet and horses grazing in the sunset on the hill. When the weather is nice we occasional show movies by the barn drive in style and try to have one or two outdoor concerts each season. We are only three miles from W42 (Fallston Airport) if you are flying in. Nearby there are hiking trails and a swimming hole at Gunpowder Falls State Park one mile away. Boordy Vinyards down the road has a farmers market Thursdays and wine tastings other days or get homemade ice cream at Prigel Creamery just past it. Take your canoe up to Eden Mill or Bike on the Ma & Pa and NCR trails nearby.

Pitch your tent in the Pasture

Had A Great Time, We Will be Back

Let me start by saying my kids had a blast! They were asking when we were coming back even before we left, so please take what follows as a heads up rather than a criticism. That said, here are some things potential Hipcampera should be aware of when staying here. 1. Dung. This was mentioned in one other review, so I wasn't surprised to see it. Keep in mind that you are staying in a pasture on an active farm. There is quite a bit of dung around BUT it's not like dog poop, it's dry and does NOT smell. We were able to find enough clear area to pitch 3 tents, so it's not like you'll be dodging it with every step. Recommendation: Bring a pooper scooper or just a shovel just in case. 2. Dogs. The dogs were sweet and the kids (11. 10, and 6) adored them. They were very patient with the kids who made up names for them. That said, they are working dogs on a sheep farm, so prepare for some herding. This comes in the form or a dog or two accompanying you to the (spotless!) porta potty usually with a bark or two. The barking mat come off threatening if you don't know better. Also, one of them marked one of my tents and blanket I put on the ground for staging stuff for packing in the van (we don't use it for sleeping). Also, one of them nipped my wife in the butt. Not hard (no bruising). Again we understood this as natural herding behavior. And NEVER EVER were the kids nipped or felt unsafe with the dogs!! All of this is just FYI. We had a great time and we will be back!!

Best Pups in the World

First time using Hipcamp and first time to maple grove. We will be back, had a great time in the field. The 3 dogs were the highlight of the trip. They were so sweet and welcoming. All three spent time with us and were the best. We miss Belle and the other two. Pot-a-potty was extremely clean and well taken care of. The field did have a good amount of poop in it. (But hey it’s a farm) Will recommend to our friends and anyone else.

Sheep Safari in Classic Land Rover

This was our second visit to Edwin's place and we had just as much fun this time as we did last time. It rained a bit during our visit, but the pop-up tent on the roof of the land rover kept us nice and dry.

Peaceful, beautiful, and relaxing

Edwin's land was peaceful, beautiful, and relaxing. There was a very clean porta-potty, which was helpful. I didn't spend a lot of time on the land, since I was in the area to visit my daughter, but I would return and spend more time there. I loved waking up to the sound of sheep in their field and I was fortunate to see an eagle fly overhead and land in a nearby tree. There was a little road noise in the distance, but it wasn't an issue.

Border Collie heaven

I loved tent camping on their property. Directions were clear and it was not difficult to find a spot. Their border collies were wonderful and we had fun playing with them into the night. The porta-john was the cleanest i've ever seen and it was nice to have a restroom to use. I will definitely stay here again the next time I am in the area!
