Named one of the best Hipcamps to visit in 2024.

Romantic

Recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp is romantic.

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 non-profit animal 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 and is closed off to visitors. We have two sites; the orchard to explore that can also double as hammock camping, as well as a small wooded nook. Both are next to the goat pen. There is parking for cars and bikes. 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. Check us out on instagram @milk_thistle_farmAfter parking your vehicle next to the house, you'll follow a short path to the orchard, which is wild but beautiful and offers shade on hot days and trees perfect for hammocks. It's dense and a bit overgrown, which provides a bit of extra privacy. There is fresh water, and a rustic camp toilet. The property is minutes away from hiking trails, ponds, and locally owned restaurants. Drive about 35 minutes and you'll hit city life in Providence or antique paradises. Only 45 minutes from RI beaches or the casinos in Connecticut.

Review summary
Generated from real Hipcamper reviews
Camping at this site offers friendly encounters with farm animals like goats, pigs, and chickens. Many campers appreciated the clean and well-maintained facilities, including a unique compost toilet setup and provided potable water. The campsite is conveniently close to nature, but travelers should be mindful of poison ivy in the area. While the proximity to the main road means traffic noise can be a factor, the overall experience is peaceful and engaging, especially for those who enjoy the company of curious livestock.

Nice accommodations. Toilet, whole 5 gallons of water as well as waste, compost and recycling bins placed out. Nice flat area for tents. Only down side id say is its a little short walk from the parking area but they provide a cart

It was okay
It was great getting to see the animals on the farm! There are pigs, goats, and chickens. The pig pen is probably 20 feet from the campsite, so you get to see them as you walk to and from the site. There is a bit of poison ivy off the trail, and more at the site and on the path to the portable toilet. There's a very convenient portable toilet maybe 10 feet from the campsite in a changing tent that is a 5 gal bucket with a contractor bag in it and a toilet seat on it, and the host provided potable water. Bring bug spray if it's been wet lately!
