The Treehouse Camp At Maple Tree LLC Introduce
For those seeking an escape from the frantic pace of modern life, The Treehouse Camp At Maple Tree LLC offers a whimsical and rustic sanctuary in the heart of Washington County, Maryland. Nestled on twenty wooded acres on the historic South Mountain in Rohrersville, this campground is a local favorite for Maryland residents looking to "unplug" without traveling far from home. Unlike standard RV parks, The Treehouse Camp focuses on providing a deep connection with nature through unique architectural dwellings and traditional wooded sites. Whether you are a local Marylander planning a weekend family adventure or a couple looking for a romantic, secluded getaway, the camp provides an enchanting backdrop of mature hardwoods and mountain air.
The campground is perhaps most famous for its variety of non-traditional lodging options, which range from screened-in treehouses to insulated year-round cottages. The atmosphere is intentionally quiet and peaceful, as the property borders the Appalachian Trail, making it a frequent stop for hikers and nature lovers. The management team at The Treehouse Camp prides itself on maintaining a welcoming, friendly environment where guests are encouraged to slow down, build a fire, and enjoy the simple pleasures of the forest. It is a place where the sounds of civilization are replaced by the rustle of leaves and the hooting of owls, offering a restorative experience for the mind and soul.
Located at 20716 Townsend Rd, Rohrersville, MD 21779, the campground is remarkably accessible for those living in the Baltimore and Washington D.C. metropolitan areas, typically requiring only a 60- to 90-minute drive. Its proximity to Harpers Ferry, West Virginia—just seven miles away—makes it an ideal hub for exploring Civil War history, river rafting, and tubing on the Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers. Despite its mountain-top feel, the camp is easily reached via local Maryland roads, though visitors should note that the internal campground roads are rustic; high-clearance or all-wheel-drive vehicles are often recommended during wet weather or for reaching the more secluded tent sites.
Accessibility at the camp is managed with a focus on preserving the natural terrain. While many of the treehouses and cottages are elevated or require navigating wooded paths, the campground offers on-site parking and centrally located facilities to minimize travel distance for essential needs. For Maryland travelers with mobility concerns, it is always recommended to call ahead to discuss the specific layout of the chosen site, as the mountain-side geography includes various inclines and natural footpaths. The facility is committed to being a family-friendly space where everyone, including four-legged companions, can enjoy the beauty of the Maryland mountains.

The highlights of a stay at The Treehouse Camp are centered on its unique theme and the surrounding natural beauty. The "Hobbit House" is a standout feature, meticulously crafted with circular doors and woodland murals that transport fans of Tolkien’s world into their own private Shire. For those who prefer being among the leaves, the FireFly Deluxe Treehouse offers twinkling lights and a magical nighttime ambiance. Beyond the dwellings, the camp’s direct access to the Appalachian Trail is a major draw, allowing guests to hike directly from their site into the expansive South Mountain State Park and Gathland State Forest.

- Pet-friendly policies that allow leashed dogs to join the family in all camping sites and cottages.

What is worth choosing at The Treehouse Camp depends largely on your desired level of comfort and "magic." For the ultimate unique experience, the Hobbit House is the clear winner; its hand-crafted details and cozy wood stove make it a bucket-list item for many Maryland travelers. If you are visiting during the colder months, the Tree Cottages are the superior choice, as they are fully insulated and offer the warmth of a real wood stove. For families on a budget, the Robin or Eagle treehouses provide ample space for larger groups to enjoy a "fort-like" experience high above the ground.
Ultimately, choosing The Treehouse Camp At Maple Tree LLC means choosing a stay that prioritizes character over cookie-cutter amenities. It is worth choosing because it offers a rare opportunity to sleep among the trees or inside a hillside without the extreme stress of wilderness survival. The cleanliness of the bathhouses and the friendliness of the staff consistently earn high marks from visitors, ensuring that while the experience is "rustic," it is never uncomfortable.

Customer Reviews
So where to start? My wife and I got the Hobbit House. And, it was amazing. The place was great. Lots of space. Wood stove. Electricity. A very unique, and rustic experience. We absolutely enjoyed our visit and we 100% will.be going back again. The fact that they have a few year rounds sites is amazing. The prices are great. Nick and the staff were all amazing. Bathrooms were clean. Highly recommend this place.
I reserved the "Hobbit House" this past week. The campgrounds are well spaced out in the area I was in. The cabin was very unique and well crafted. It was more spacious then I expected being I'm over 6ft tall. The grill provided was very nice and clean. As a fan of the "Hobbit/lord of the rings" movies and books, the cabin was themed nicely. The people working there were friendly and gave me a heads up when a bunch of kids were inbound.
My first time here and my first time camping. We originally booked the Magnolia however the staff offered us The Willow after a small leak in the Magnolia. The Willow was perfect rustic cabin to break me into camping!! The outdoor community showers were clean with plenty of hot water. The bathrooms were also clean. Everything we needed was a short walk. We stayed mid week through Sunday. During the week it was just us and another group. The weekend was crowded , even with more folks in camp it was just as peaceful. I cant wait to come back!
We stayed at the firefly for 1 night for a quick girls trip. It was $124 a night, now it has increased to $134. I feel the price is a bit high as the amenities offered are the same as the regular cabins ($80-$85 per night). The firefly did just recently add a window AC unit and one electric plug prior to our stay. There are no lights so a lantern is still needed. We didn’t use the charcoal grill as it was rusted, we opted for cooking on the fire instead. They do not allow outside firewood and they charge $7 a bag for wood and $5 for kindling. Unfortunately their firewood was very thinly chopped, maybe 1-2 inch slivers so the firewood didn’t last long. The shower and bathrooms were clean and close to the campsite which we enjoyed. The area felt very safe. Though there appeared to be a ring camera with lights just above the open showers which I found a bit odd, I assume it was pointing to the other side of the building. Easily accessible dumpster and water for cooking/washing dishes. Parking is very hard to come by so if you bring more than one vehicle this may be a problem. The cabin was well kept, clean and comfy mattresses. Lights didn’t work on the upper balcony but we enjoyed the lower deck. The only thing I found off putting were over kill on signage around the campsite. Quiet hours with a $250 fine for noises past 11pm or before 7am, signs regarding usage of amenities …. It appeared they didn’t really want you using too many resources. Overall, we really enjoyed the cabin, the addition of the AC was great, facility was well kept, but I felt it was over priced.
A very nice experience.Even arriving after dark I was able to find my site. I greatly appreciated having access to a warm shower during their office hours. The sites are very nicely spaced apart.
