Private, peaceful camping
This is a beautiful site! The property is beautiful, owners are very nice, and the camp site is very well thought out. The tent platform is large, the outhouse is covered with a storage or changing spot, the cooking supplies are in a closed container to keep them protected from elements. It is quiet, peaceful, and feels extremely secluded, but also very safe.
We only met the husband Dennis but he was very nice and helpful. There are hiking trails right from the top of the road, the town of Ashfield is super cute, and chapel falls nearby is beautiful. Overall a great place to camp in western Mass.
The only downside for us was the downpours that started in the evening and didn’t let up all night or the following morning, thus we had to pack up early. There are not any trees close enough to properly hang a tarp above your tent on the platform, so we just had to drape ours over the top of the tent to have at least a little coverage. The platform kept the bottom of the tent dry though.
We sadly didn’t get to use the fire pit due to the rain but everything was set up nicely, and the firewood is covered. We will be back again when the weather is good!
