Mickelberry Forest Gardens

Mickleberry Farms was a great spot. The hosts are lovely and very accommodating. The camper site was fairly close to the house but felt private and the hosts really made a point of making sure we weren’t disturbed. Tent camp sites are in an upper pasture which would be a really ideal experience. The spot is very rural but only ten to fifteen minutes from a main road. Great location -

You were wonderful visitors. My husband really loved your camper and Charile was a wonderful guest as well!!! We agree the camper spot is a bit close to the house and are working on a new parking spot in mind for upper meadow. Thank you for the great photos as well. Happy Camping!!! Come back again some time! Bill and Amy

Absolutely lovely location and the hosts were more than helpful, really going out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and had what we needed. Definitely recommend this location - we will be back the next time our travels take us to western CT.

I was initially a bit hesitant booking this place however I took a chance and I’m glad I did. It was exactly what I was hoping it’d be. The grounds were awesome and the owners couldn’t have been friendlier. If you’re looking for a peaceful dog friendly location to do some glorified camping ... this is your place.

Highly recommend this spot! My boyfriend and I rented a car from NYC and brought my dog up to spend a couple of quiet nights out of the city. We could not have been more pleased with the location and hosts. Amy and Bill were so laid back and helpful throughout our stay. The communication was excellent and they were so friendly and accommodating. They are respectful of privacy while also being open and available to socializing and having a good time. We loved being right next to the chicken coop and waking up to fresh eggs for breakfast! Overall an amazing experience and we hope to come back.

We enjoyed hosting you guys so much. A great, friendly, kind , group of campers. Despite the rain it seems it did not slow you down or dampen your time together. You all still had a great time and we hope you come back!! It was so fun making you breakfast and taking you to the lake to kayak. Thank you for your generosity and peace to our new friends. Our best. Bill and Amy

Mickelberry Forest Gardens was a perfect camping spot for families with kids - there was a huge grass area to run around plus chickens and ducks to admire! There is not much shade so be sure to pack lots of sunscreen.

The host was incredibly nice and welcoming. She was very responsive and communicative from the beginning. The site is beautiful and I felt like I had a lot of privacy and freedom to roam the property. She was nice enough to bring me ive for my cooler. There is a lovely fire pit and plenty of wood, although I was so tired from my day long drive that I wasn't up to building a fire. I felt safe and secure. Despite the current social climate (covid 19) I felt at ease on this space. The host was even nice enough to help me jump my battery the morning I went to leave after leaving my truck door open for too long while preparing to go. I would definitely recommend this as a place to camp!

An overnight stay at the Mickelberry Forest Gardens is good for the soul! Beautiful property, great hosts... what's not to love?

The surrounding area is full of natural wonder to explore - lakes, hikes, bird-watching, farm stands...

If you are looking for a great little getaway, you can't go wrong with this spot!
