Milk Thistle Farm

3 sites ¡ Tents5 acres ¡ Greene, RI
With the original home built in 1785, Milk Thistle farm is on the historic register and is comprised of the main house and 5 acres of land. It is run as a small homestead sanctuary and is home to rescued chickens, goats, and pigs, as well as two humans and their dog and cat companions. The main property is fenced in, with a large back field great for tent camping, and an orchard to explore that can also double as hammock camping. There is parking for cars, bikes, and perhaps a camper but tent camping is best suited. We try to minimize our impact on the environment as much as possible, and encourage our guests to compost, recycle, and dispose of waste accordingly. Please note we have dogs, including a Livestock Guardian Dog that does bark to alert us of new people and warn off would be predators. We will happily introduce him to any guests to minimize disruptions. Check us out on instagram @milk_thistle_farm

Swanson's Farm

1 site ¡ RV, Tent33 acres ¡ West Greenwich, RI
We have a pretty magical farm in rural West Greenwich. We are only about 10 mins from I-95 but we are nestled in the woods. Fall asleep to the sound of crickets and cicadas and wake up to birds chirping and our rooster crowing . It is certainly a peaceful, quiet, private area. Our site has a waste-bag toilet (must take waste with you), an extension cord and a sink. The site is located in a quiet field where you will often find deer grazing in the morning and afternoon. We are a young farming family. Our dream is to build a cidery on this property in future years. We have started to plant our orchard with cider apple varieties, about 650 dwarf apple trees, and we are also growing some flowers and squash at the moment. We currently have six pigs and nine chickens on the farm. Eggs and cuts of pork are available for purchase, just ask! Feel free to walk around the farm, just be respectful, don't leave anything behind, and be aware that some areas have poison ivy (the field where you are staying does not have any).

Rosy Goat Farm

1 site ¡ RV, Tent13 acres ¡ Gilbertville, MA
Welcome to Rosy Goat Farm!! We are the quintessential family farm/homestead, our farmhouse was built in the 1840’s Bill and I bought this 15-acre property in 2012, It was overgrown with wild roses. We have worked with a limited budget, and used animals to clear the land. The goats love the roses, but they only eat the leaves. The pigs dig the roses up. Chickens rake it clean. Win win! Very interesting place here- lots to tell you, there’s quite a list of things to do and see around here! Did you know that Gilbertville has a covered bridge? It is one of the last covered bridges still in use in Massachusetts! First- a touch of History: Rev. Timothy Ruggles bought this land from the Native Americans for his family to live on, and work the land. His son, Brigadeer General Timothy Ruggles became unpopular after he introduced the Stamp Act, and was banished to Nova Scotia. His daughter Bathsheba became the first woman executed in the United States for the murder of her husband Joshua Spooner. (There’s a book about it called Murdered by his wife by Deborah Navas.) Want to know local eateries? For breakfasts and lunch there is The Whistle Stop diner, it was a former Boston & Albany Railroad station and now, The Mass Central Rail Trail runs through here; and Rose 32, a well known bakery that serves tea, coffee and sandwiches. There’s Hardwick house of Pizza- for tasty pizza and subs, which also serves beer. Feeling fancy? Try Hardwick Crossing Country Club (features a golf course), it has a restaurant with a full-service bar, gorgeous scenery!

The best camping near Last Green Valley National Heritage Corridor guide

Overview

About

When you come to Quinebaug & Shetucket, you can tell that you're experiencing something unique. As part of what is coined the Last Green Valley, there is an endless list of things to be done here. Aside from the scenic hiking and biking around the area, the picturesque towns and villages enveloped in the park are just waiting to be explored as well. Bubbling over with historical, cultural, and flat out breathtaking sights, you’ll love sinking your teeth into all that the park has to offer—we are talking about 695,000 acres worth of lush, green goodness.

Want to get in on the local fun? Nearby Norwich holds an Oktoberfest every year that is a must to hit up in between or after your outdoor escapades. The fall time scatters rich red and orange hues across the tree lines, truly magnificent scenery for even locals to drink in.

When to go

The Last Green Valley is a year-round destination, but the best times to visit are during the spring and fall when the weather is mild and the natural scenery is at its peak. Summer offers lush greenery and ideal conditions for water activities, while winter provides a quiet, serene landscape, perfect for stargazing. Avoid peak holiday weekends for a more tranquil experience.
