AMAZING STUNNING PROPERTY! PRIVATE! PEACEFUL! Absolutely heaven sent! A place that will stay in your hearts forever. The property's backdrop is the lush James Goodwin forest where you can walk directly from to hiking trails. Fall asleep under the magnificent brilliance of the millions of stars, hear nothing but the sound of crickets, croaking frogs, hooting owls; see fireflies light up the night and fall asleep to the sound of the streams running right alongside the property. Watch the ariel acrobatics of the swallows swoop into the barn to feed their chicks! The two streams feed into the huge Natchaug River right across the street which is great for fishing, or spending the day at Diana's pool basking on the rocks with a picnic lunch. The area and property is perfect for hiking, horseback riding, small retreats, family gatherings all the while enjoying nature at its purest.
We offer a Weber grill and large fire pit and outdoor picnic table with umbrella.
You can either sleep in the barn, down in the clean stalls, or up in the barn loft. Bring supplies as if you are camping ie bedding, hammock, tent, sleeping pad or inflatable mattress. There is a long wooden table up in the barn loft that seats 14. There are games up there too, (dominos, cards, trivial pursuit etc). You may also camp outside under the starry skies.
No loud music. Noise off by 10.30pm please
We provide a VERY clean porta potty and the barn has electricity and running (cold) water. Bring a solar portable shower should you need.

State forest 32km from Vernon · 18 units
Natchaug State Forest is the scene of a wonderful fairytale. Once upon a time, there were two rivers that couldn’t stand to be apart. Finally, when it seemed like things would never change, they joined together in a beautiful forest in Connecticut and flowed happily ever after. At least that’s what we like to think.
In Natchaug Forest is where the Bigelow and Still Rivers join to form the Natchaug River, and the scenery here really isn’t far off from something in a fairytale. It’s common to see people galloping through the woods on horseback and there are even a few old stone structures. So let your imagination run wild and have yourself an adventure.

State park 28km from Vernon · 14 units
Overlooking the Connecticut River, River Highlands State Park is tucked into what is becoming a rapidly growing suburban area. The park is defined by mixed woodlands (oak, beech and white pine trees) and wetlands over a hilly topography, but the real superstar is the view from the bluffs and a unique geological wonder called a blowhole where you can hear the wind whistle past the bluffs. Some very silly colonists even believed the sound was an act of the devil!Visitors to the park today can plan on some picturesque hiking over wooden bridges and streams. Camping is also an option for those traveling on the river.

State forest 31km from Vernon · 1 unit
If you live in eastern Connecticut like many residents of the state do, and you’re looking for a place to reconnect with nature but don’t want to travel far, allow us to introduce you to Begelow Hollow State Park and neighboring Nipmuch State Forest. With 9,000 acres of wooded hills and an 18-acre pond, the whole population of Hartford could get lost here.
If getting lost is indeed what you’d like to do, you can do so by land or water. Getting lost by canoe on the pond is highly recommended, although getting lost in the forest is equally pleasurable. However, we should clarify that we are referring to “getting lost” metaphorically. It is not actually a good idea to physically lose your sense of direction here. If you do get lost, for real, trace your steps, blow a whistle, something!

A riverfront park with nearly 1,000 acres of land, Hurd State Park is easily recognizable by a large split rock that towers above the trees. As one of only four state parks in Connecticut that offer primitive camping for boaters, the area is uber popular with small boat owners.Boat or not, visitors can also enjoy great views of the Connecticut River, hiking for all levels of expertise and mountain biking. While the long days of summer are probably the best times to take advantage of all this park has to explore, winter visitors can still park for a hike or cross-country skiing. If you’re a believer in variety as the spice of life, head on over to George Dudley Seymour State Park. It’s right next door!

State park 40km from Vernon · 53 units
Like a J.R.R. Tolkien book, Mashamoquet Brook State Park is rich with legend and lore. The most famous tale is of Israel Putnam who, in 1742, crept into a wolf den and shot a wolf that had preyed upon local farm animals for years. That very same wolf den can still be visited in the park today, where you can craft your own tale of heroism.After you’ve saved the day, there’s still lots of the park to explore. The name Mashamoquet is Indian for “stream of good fishing,” so it’s no surprise the catches here are fat and frequent. Pull up a lawn chair by the water and enjoy a relaxing afternoon. When night falls, warm fires from the campground beckon. When day breaks, it’s time for a whole new adventure.

48km from Vernon · 2 units · Tents, Motorhomes
The Hallow sits on seven acres in the hill towns of western Massachusetts, tucked away off Route 23 in Russell. The old post road runs through here — originally a Pocumtuc footpath, then the first mail route in the country.
The land has been welcoming people for a long time, and we love to continue that tradition.
Potash Brook flows through the property and connects to the Westfield River. Follow it to discover swimming holes, peaceful dip spots, and The Cauldron — a waterfall with a cliff jump and a natural rock slide. Wander through old-growth forest, mossy stone, wildflowers, ghost pipe, and other natural treasures.
We currently offer one thoughtfully designed campsite, with just a few more to come, each with its own unique character and secluded nook along the brook. Always intimate and quietly communal — never a campground. Gather around the shared fire pit after dark.
This is a place to slow down, move at the pace of the water, sleep beneath truly dark skies, and wake to sun-drenched moss and the gentle sound of the flowing brook.
~
Please note that The Hallow is a private residence. We are a family of four in the main house and a couple resides in the smaller house on the property. Guests are welcome to enjoy the full land, brook, and trail to the waterfall — we simply ask that you be mindful of our home, keep noise down after 10pm, and treat the land with care.
This booking is for personal camping use only. Commercial photography, professional shoots, and content creation sessions are not permitted under a camping reservation. Please inquire separately about our Photography Sessions offering.

Three Years of Campfires, Stories, and Friendships 🔥⛺
As I look back on the past three years since opening the campground, I’m filled with gratitude. What started as a dream has turned into something so much more thanks to each and every one of you who has stayed here, shared your stories, and brought your energy to this little piece of the outdoors.
I’ve had the joy of meeting people from all walks of life travelers passing through, families on vacation, solo adventurers chasing peace, and seasoned RVers with tales from the road. Whether you’re here for one night or one season, getting to know where you’re from, where you’re going, and the stories in between has been the most rewarding part of running this campground.
It’s not just about providing a place to park or pitch a tent it’s about building a community, even if it’s just for a weekend. The laughs around the fire, the kindness between strangers, and the shared love of the outdoors have made this journey incredibly special.
Thank you for being part of it. Here’s to many more years of connection, conversation, and campfire memories. 🌲
Sincerely, Ronald Markeveys

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 🙂

This was a stop over for rest. I wished i had more time to see this working farm. Even though we booked last minute Molly made sure we had everything we needed. Loved the animals. We brought our small dogs. Remember if you don't have dogs that are good in this environment its not for you. Molly had everything but if you are staying for a couple of days you might want to bring extra linens for your comfort. Very cute and clean. Would love to do again.

We (myself and 2 young daughters) LOVED it here!! Our friends stayed in another cabin right near ours, which was great. The cabins each had everything we needed, all little details accounted for! We loved going out in the kayaks, warming up in the sauna in the room, and sleeping in the cozy beds and blankets at night. The bathhouse had a very nice full bath and dish-washing area. Our cabin did not have its own fire pit, but the other did, and there was a community one available right nearby. There was a nice-sized mini-fridge, a one-burner cooktop, coffee maker with great coffee, and basic cooking/eating supplies. The dry-flush toilet and pump sink in the cabin were a great convenience! Very reminiscent of old sleepover camp days and still manages to be rustic, but much cuter, more comfortable, and more convenient!
