Mickelberry Forest Gardens

2 sites ¡ RVs, Tents4 acres ¡ Newtown , CT
The meadow we occupy was once the farmers property that I grew up next to at my parents farm house.  When he wanted to sell his property he offered it to us for purchase at a fair price if we would not develop more than we needed to live here.  We maintained the meadow adjacent to our property and have kept it as an agricultural site.  We have had our son who is a permaculture expert develop an edible forest garden and a unique diversified small orchard so we can eat and share healthy organic fruits and vegetables while helping our environment and wildlife and educating others to do the same.  It is expensive to live in Newtown but we love our property.  We want to teach others to grow food from their land while helping to support us keeping our adjacent property agricultural and undeveloped.  Our property has provided many happy gatherings and events and we love to share it with others.  Let us know if there is anything special we can help provide for you.  Come visit Mickleberry!!!   Learn more about this land:Thank you to all the wonderful friends we have met through this amazing program.  We regret that our community at this time does now allow for "transient" renting of property and I unknowingly was operating outside of the zoning rules and regulations of our town.  Please continue to get outside and enjoy all the beautiful places and spaces this world has to offer and keep in touch.  We love you all!  Thank you for your support!   Bill and Amy Enjoy your stay next to our edible forest garden on the Edge of a beautiful meadow along side the orchard of berries, nuts  and fruit trees.  Various seasons will offer you an opportunity to pick your own breakfast in our maturing establishment.   You can enjoy exploring, and examining our 7 year permacultuire food forest with chestnut seedlings already tall enough to climb , 10-foot hazels bearing buckets of nuts and a different selection of raspberries, blackberries, gooseberry, currents, golden berries, service berries and Mulberries.      Enjoy a stroll   through the meadow trail to breath in  morning views and evening fireflies and stars.  This camp area is very private but household amenities are not far away if desired.  This site is much more private than Mickelberry Forest Garden Site and the beautiful mountain view is only a small step away.  One mile away we offer nearby blue mark trails, mountain biking, lake and outdoor activities are at your fingertips and your hosts will be happy to provide any assistance needed to find or enjoy these opportunities.  The Creamery (Ferris Acres) is one of the best farm ice cream shops in the East.  We can provide breakfast upon request from our free range chickens on our kiwi lined deck with beautiful mountain views.     Come and enjoy the croak of the bullfrog and the sound of the crickets.  We are new and growing our amenities so at this time check the overview for available amenities but you can guarantee we won't disappoint.  Come visit Mickelberry Forest Garden and The Meadow's Edge our newest most private site!!!

The best camping near Wildwood State Park guide

Overview

About

Located on a high bluff overlooking the Long Island Sound, this popular park offers an easy escape to nature, with scenic views and plenty of amenities. More than 300 campsites offer plenty of space for RVs, trailers, and tents, and 10 cottages ensure a comfortable stay. The park features two miles of beachfront, perfect for sunbathing, swimming, paddle boarding, and fishing. There are also miles of hiking trails, biking trails, and cross-country skiing trails among the rolling green valley and hardwood forest landscape, along with picnic areas, a playground, sports fields, food concessions, and a cooperative hunting area.

Notable campgrounds

  • Best for amenities: The B loop of the Wildwood State Park Campground offers the closest access to the camp store, picnic areas, and sports fields and courts.
  • Best for large RVs: The T loop in the campground can fit RVs up to 50 feet long, and are for RVs and trailers only.
  • Best for comfort: Ten cottages offer space for two to six and include a full kitchen, living room, bathroom, and a screened porch.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  1. Reservations can be made up to nine months in advance, and are required to camp. Plan to reserve a site as soon as you know your dates.
  2. If you’re planning to camp between mid May and October, reservations can be made the same day up to 3 pm.
  3. During peak season, cottages must be reserved for at least three nights.

When to go

The park is open year-round, while the campground is open from April to October. The park is busiest over the summer, especially on weekends. During July and August, movies are screened in the park every Wednesday and Saturday, along with weekly dances. The popular Fall Festival is held the first weekend of October. Hunting season runs from November to February.

Know before you go

  • Accessible facilities include several campsites, three cottages, the swim beach, playgrounds, showers, and food concessions.
  • Ticks and poison ivy can be an issue at the park. Pets are not allowed.
  • All campfires must be in metal containers above ground. Campers must bring their own or rent from the camp store, which also sells firewood. Don’t bring firewood from more than 50 miles away.
  • Hunting is allowed in season in certain areas of the park with a bow hunting permit.
