The rest of the park that isn’t water is heavily wooded, providing lots of welcome shade. Shoot, you could even go for a hike and not worry about overheating.

Bounded by the scenic Greenport Harbor to the east and south, the district is flanked by residential and commercial areas to the north and west, which consist of both altered historic and modern structures.

A trip to Macedonia Brook State Park is basically what the word “splendid” was invented for—blissfully scenic and impossibly pleasurable. Hiking down the Blue Trail, you can’t help but feel good about the world. Wipe that smile off your face, we dare you. It’s okay, we know you can’t.The Blue Trail, which is by far the main area attraction, meanders over Cobble Mountain and several other peaks, crossing a handful of babbling springs and streams. The views of the Catskills and Taconics are downright gorgeous. And don’t even get us started on fall colors. So go have yourself a splendid time at Macedonia Brook.

Really enjoyed this Hipcamp. Felt very private, the electric hook up allowed us to stay nice and warm in the campervan, and the host was responsive and welcoming. We’re definitely adding it to our list to return to in the spring.

I enjoyed my peaceful camping spot on Jessica's lovely land. There was plenty of firewood, if needed. I did not get to meet my host in person, but Jessica checked in by text to make sure I was doing ok. Her land is well maintained and the location is close to a State Park and to stores and shopping. The land is on a slight incline and it can get windy. Highly recommend and will make plans to return when it's a bit warmer!

Perfect spot! Feels like wilderness but there are actually houses all around. Plenty of hiking too. Read the other reviews on the driveway- it’s not that bad! Arriving by daylight advised.

Great place! Beautiful spot. There are a couple of spots available, one next to the house and one further down the road on a small pull-off. We stayed by the house and it was great.

We had a great stay in Rick’s land. It was an incredibly easy pull in spot surrounded by privacy. It was a perfect stopping point on our way to Maine. Thank you for the restful sleep and beautiful scenery. Will stay again.

This spot is just what I needed! Quiet and private. And the level gravel spot was appreciated with all the rain. And the 30amp shore power was a great! Thanks Rick!

Simple and beautiful farm setting with fire pit for the night. Woke up to beautiful views of fall foliage. Lovely hosts. Went the extra mile by delivering us coffee in the AM and giving us peppers from her garden.

This place was perfect for our overnight pass through stay. It has water and electric hookups and a nice fire pit. No restroom facilities so prepare accordingly. Super easy to find and even though you are kind of in a neighborhood you feel very much secluded in nature. Highly recommend

Hartwoods was a perfect spot for our two night stay. It was secluded enough, peaceful, spacious and very well maintained. Google Maps took us further than the actual spot.

Hartwoods was the perfect spot for us to land for 4 nights while visiting family in New Haven. The property is private, well kept, beautiful, and a short walk away from the New England Trail. The host was quick to respond to questions. Our dog enjoyed the open space and being off leash. We also enjoyed being able to drive to the quaint harbor towns like Mystic for lobster and fresh cider. There was some noise from the Sportman’s Association rifle range down the road, but not enough to be an issue. We would definitely recommend Hartwoods, and hope to stay there again in the future.

We loved camping at Rick’s land. It was very clean, level and peaceful. Our dogs had a great time and enjoyed the outdoor. The firepit is also great and we cooked the majority of our meals over the campfire and tasted delicious! We look forward to returning soon! Rick was also a great and responsive host and ensured we really had everything we needed and had a great and relaxing time.
