There are many spots perfect for pitching tents

Alan took us to this site for us to take a look. It's a wonderful camping place and we loved the hiking trails leading through the rest of the land.

Alan was nice enough to take our excited dog on a walk while we got our campsite set up.

There are several options for setting up your tent. You will be the only ones at Fernwood, or Fernwood 2 unless we happen to be up working on the land. No matter where you set up you'll have your own private fire pit, and level ground for your tent(s). Come and enjoy a quiet retreat, or use Fernwood as a base for many outdoor activities-biking, fishing, hiking-all nearby. Natchaug Forest offers great trout fishing. Goodwin State Forest is less than 3 miles away by car where you can put in a canoe on Pine Lake, amble through the wildflower and pollinator gardens, or enjoy the Education Center and Museum. From Goodwin, you can access the Air Line State Park Bike/Hiking Path. Hampton also has a general store that has simple food, frozen dinners that Kara will heat up for you, gifts, and awesome Ice Cream Sodas! ( [xxxxxxxx] ) If you want a change from all that nature, there is Sharpe Hill Vineyard less than 10 miles away, as well as We-Li-Kit IceCream less than 6 miles. The route to either place will take you through beautiful scenic farmland. We hope you enjoy our forest and the surrounding area as much as we do.

We have a wonderful stay at Alan’s property! It was so peaceful and well kept. The fire pit was great with ample firewood provided and more available for purchase if needed. There was also a grill grate for preparing food. The portapotty was immaculately kept. It is clear Alan takes a lot of pride in his land and maintaining the trails etc. Lots of walking and exploring to do, both on his land and on the adjacent State Park land. Very peaceful and quiet. Alan was very kind to speak with. Highly recommend!

We stayed for a friday-sunday trip on Alans property and it was exactly what we were looking for! VERY secluded! We saw maybe 2 people walking by the entire time we were there. Lots of trails for walking and hiking away from the camp with some good scenery. Alan was great with supplying wood and a porta potty on the property. Would absolutely recommend you go check out one of his sites 🙂
