It’s the ideal way to enjoy the comforts of home while surrounded by nature—perfect for creating lasting family memories before the school year starts.
1. The Convenience of a Local Maryland Escape
A staycation should be stress-free. For families in the DMV (DC, Maryland, Virginia) area, we are just a short drive away. You can leave the city after breakfast and be sitting on the porch of a luxury cabin by lunch. No airports, no long-haul traffic—just instant relaxation in the heart of Mountain Maryland. This proximity makes us a premier choice for those looking to maximize their time off without spending half of it in a car.
2. True Glamping: Luxury in the Woods
What makes us the premier Staycation Glamping Campground Maryland? It’s our commitment to comfort. We provide a unique and fun experience where you can sleep in a real bed, inside a secure cabin, while still being able to step outside and be immediately immersed in the forest. Our three cabins—Amber Lodge, Tanner’s Bunkhouse, and Jake’s Bunkhouse—are designed to provide that “home away from home” feeling while the crickets serenade you to sleep.
3. Deep Roots in Clear Spring History
Staying at Timber Valley Retreat means you are part of a story that dates back to the early 19th century. The town of Clear Spring was founded in 1823 along the National Pike, America’s first “moonshot” highway. Pioneers heading west would stop at the local spring—which still flows today—to refresh their teams and fill their crocks. When you take a walk through town, you’ll see historic structures like the Potomac Hotel and Plumb Grove Mansion, which serve as reminders of the town’s heyday as a bustling stop-over for Conestoga wagons and stagecoaches.
4. Gear Up for Your 100-Acre Adventure
Even on a staycation, having the right gear can make your nature experience more spectacular. We suggest bringing along quality outdoor accessories to enhance your 100-acre adventure.

It’s an incredible spot for kids to see history come to life through reenactments and museum exhibits. The park also offers access to the C&O Canal Towpath, where you can enjoy miles of flat, scenic biking and hiking along the Potomac River.
