Exactly what we were hoping for!

We had a wonderful stay at Mickelberry Forest Gardens. The setting was truly stunning, with incredible views. Amy and Bill were such welcoming guests, and gave us great recommendations for things to do in the area. And the resident chickens and ducks were a delightful bonus to wake up to! I highly recommend this superb site for car camping.

We had such a nice time here, and Amy and her husband were such thoughtful hosts, and even helped us jump start our car when our battery died. Couldn't recommend this more!

The hosts are great and timely with their responses. They helped recommend things to do nearby and my and my dog had a great time taking the kayaks out on the lake. We only stayed one night but would have loved to stay longer.
The area I stayed was pretty secluded, and didn’t even feel like I was in their backyard. Loved all the animals wandering around. Next time I’ll need to actually try the food on the farm!

It was a lovely quiet space with a gorgeous view of a meadow. We enjoyed eating grapes and blackberries around the property and had a great time chatting with Bill & Amy!

Great Spot and Great Hosts!
Amy and Bill are terrific hosts! The property and area are beautiful. We were greeted each morning by two miniature horses, Coda the cat and Bentley the pooch!
The town of Newtown has so much to offer; fine breweries, ice cream from a dairy farm, restaurants, and the most incredible historic theater!
Amy and Bill offered us freshly baked zucchini bread from Bill’s sister, a tomato, and a cucumber from their garden. We enjoyed all of it!
They have a large field with paths mowed in it that our dog loved running on and fresh fruits and veggies they grow that you can enjoy when in season.
This HipCamp has a great location, thoughtful hosts, and privacy. We hope to return someday.

An excellent CT camping spot
We had a wonderful trip!! The space was private, peaceful and surrounded by lots of plants and animals. The hosts were lovely and made us feel right at home! I would highly recommend this location if you're looking for some camping in CT.

Therapeutic weekend
The most lovely property and hosts one can wish for! My weekend at the property was picture perfect and I can’t wait to be back soon. I have a campervan with everything I needed (including my own toilet) so everything was a breeze. There are nice hiking trails nearby, beautiful meadow right next to the spot and so many friendly animals running around (dogs, cat, chickens, geese and even a little bunny). Amy and her family were beyond nice and helpful with everything I needed. Truly a piece of paradise ❤️

Amy and her family are absolutely delightful! They made us feel welcome and showed us around their beautiful property. The views are exceptional and our camping spot was private. The only thing I regret is that we didn’t have more time to stay there. Camping on their property was definitely a highlight of our trip!

We came back for the 2nd time and will definitely be back!
The place is charming, isolated, perfect to rewind.
Amy and her husband are extremely kind and welcoming, and give great tips in the area.
Thank you for having us again, and see you next year!

A natural oasis by Candlewood Lake
Amy and her family were very gracious and their campsite by the meadow flanked with edible landscaping was a literal treat. It was sweet to eat the berries on the path through their well cultivated native landscaping offering privacy for the lovely campsite by the meadow, replete with a picnic table and fire circle. This was a welcome natural oasis for my dog and I in what seemed to be an otherwise rigid suburban environment close to Candlewood Lake where family was gathering.

Meadow's Edge @ The Forest Garden
We had an amazing week-end camping at Amy's meadow.
The place is beautiful, the camp site is isolated (you don't see the house or anything else than nature), but you can still access water easily as needed. Chickens are running around happily, we ate their delicious eggs. Amy and her husband were the perfect hosts, gave us great recommendations for a hike, incredible ice cream, and the local pool. They really went above and beyond making our kids extremely happy allowing them to feed the fish, touch the turtle, play with the little kids house etc ... Fully recommended, and we will be back!

My family and I had a great time in this property. It's beautiful and spacious and close to so many neat hiking areas. The cat, chicken, ducks and birds made for an excellent little spot to go an unplug for the weekend.

Beautiful meadow, warm atmosphere
These people have a gift for hosting; we felt right at home from the moment we pulled up. The site was beautiful and well-kept. Even the cat was friendly, purring and keeping us company as we enjoyed the fire pit and sturdy picnic table. We had access to quant footpaths and a large field with room to spread out and relax. A perfect weekend!

This place was simply perfect and has a large meadow with ample space to roam. Most of all, the hosts are such welcoming and wonderful people we felt welcome. They greeted us warmly when we arrived, although it was in the late evening. They showed us around the property and we got to know the cats, chickens, and ducks. On the first morning, we also met two beautiful box turtles. Our last night we built a fire in the firepit and were able to really unwind from the stress of the week. When it was time to check out, they helped us so we could move the car closer to the site. We were very sad to go and would definitely stay here again -- here's to hoping the zoning laws change so the property can be a Hipcamp again!
