There is a unique kind of magic that happens when you are Tubing The Nations River. The gentle current of the Potomac carries you through layers of American history and lush Appalachian scenery, offering a captivating perspective that you just can’t get from the shore. When you anchor your adventure at Timber Valley Retreat Campgrounds Maryland, you aren’t just getting a place to stay—you are gaining a private sanctuary designed for total rejuvenation. Whether you are coming from Washington D.C., Virginia (VA), West Virginia (WV), or Pennsylvania (PA), a weekend of river floating and campfire stories is the ultimate reset.
1. The Heart of the Farm: Family Hospitality from Karen and Tom Grosh 🤝
Every great stay starts with a warm welcome. Family Hospitality from Karen and Tom Grosh is what makes our retreat feel like a second home.

2. The Majesty of the Potomac River: The Nation’s River 🌊
The Potomac River, often called “The Nation’s River,” is the centerpiece of our region. Flowing 383 miles from the Appalachian Mountains to the Chesapeake Bay, it forms the borders for Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, and Washington D.C. It serves as a vital waterway for history, recreation, and wildlife. When you are tubing, you are literally floating along a historic trail used for centuries by pioneers and traders. For those planning a trip, be sure to check the Maryland DNR Fisheries for river conditions and safety guidelines.
3. A Classic Wagon Ride Across the Timber Valley 🚜
One of the most unique aspects of a stay at Timber Valley Retreat Campgrounds Maryland is our signature Wagon Ride. It is a nostalgic journey through the fields and woods of our farm, led by your hosts. It’s the perfect way to dry off after a day on the river and see the land from a different perspective. Many of our guests find these rides to be the highlight of their trip, especially when the golden hour light hits the valley at Tubing The Nations River.
4. Step Back in Time at the C&O Canal 🚲
Just steps away from the water is the C&O Canal, a masterpiece of 19th-century engineering. The flat towpath is ideal for a post-tubing stroll or a morning bike ride. You can follow the path of the mules that once pulled canal boats and learn about the historic locks that populate the trail. For more details on park access, visit the National Park Service.
5. The Serenity of the Spring-Fed Pond 💦
If you want a break from the river’s current, our Spring-fed pond offers a peaceful alternative. The water is clear and calm, providing a safe spot for kids to splash around or for adults to relax on a paddle boat. It is a quiet oasis at Timber Valley Retreat Campgrounds Maryland that truly helps you sink into a state of relaxation when staying at Tubing The Nations River.
6. Wildlife and Wonder: Bald Eagles and Amazing Rainbows 🦅🌈
Keep your eyes on the skies! The Bald Eagle is a frequent visitor to the farm, often seen soaring over the timber in search of fish. Additionally, because of our unique position in the valley, we are often treated to Amazing Rainbows that stretch across the horizon after a light rain. These moments of natural beauty are what make a staycation here so special.
7. View the World from the Railroad Overlook 🚂
For the train enthusiasts in your family, our Railroad Overlook offers a front-row seat to the massive freight trains that wind through the Maryland mountains. It’s a powerful sight that bridges the gap between nature and industry, providing a unique vantage point of the valley’s history when visiting Tubing The Nations River.
8. Discovering Western Maryland’s Heritage 🗺️
While you are here, take a short drive to explore the history of the region. Fort Frederick State Park is just 10 minutes away and offers a glimpse into colonial life. For a deeper dive into the area’s offerings, we recommend checking out Visit Hagerstown and Visit Maryland for local festivals and geological wonders like Sideling Hill.
