Weekend Trip to Hucklebuck Railway Campsites

Everything was well tended. They were very welcoming and helpful with any needs we had. Our campsite was outfitted nicely with all the camping amenities we could need and has a great hiking trail & river access.

Weekend Trip to Hucklebuck Railway Campsites

Great camp site with so much included! The tent is well maintained and the mattress is new. We didn't need the second big tent, but would be good if we had friends with us. And the hosts are super friendly and very responsive if you need more gas for the grill, water, or wood for the fire pit. Would highly recommend.

Weekend Trip to Greener Pastures Camp

We recently spent a wonderful weekend despite the hot weather. We loved having the spot to ourselves. The campsite was well-maintained, with plenty of space for us to set up our tent and potty tent. The field at night lit up with lightning bugs was amazing! Jess was very communicative and very patient with our two young boys. They loved the chickens! We definitely will come back!

Weekend Trip to Forest Treasure Island

We had a great camping experience in the woods! The property is beautiful, with its own farm, garden, and cozy patios equipped with BBQ grills—perfect for relaxing and enjoying nature. Even though we were switched from the Cabbage Tent to a regular tent, our host Diana went above and beyond to make us feel at home. Her hospitality truly made the stay memorable. Highly recommend!

1 night at Hucklebuck Railway Campsites

We ended up staying a day later because the place was so lovely. Lots of different kind of plants everywhere. The swim hole was lovely. This had everything my small family wanted - a simple and beautiful vacation. The fireflies add to the magic at dust. I love that it's just 30 minutes from me as well.

1 night at Forest Treasure Island

My cousin and I rent camped on Jan’s property and it was the highlight of our camping trip. They were lovely, welcoming, and we felt safe and slept well. The animals were fun to watch and play with. Thanks again!

2 nights at Hucklebuck Railway Campsites

The campsite was great, didn’t need to bring much. The tarp covering the kitchen/dining area excellent for shade or rain. Trail to river was easy and marked, Everything was as described. The pre-arrival instructions very helpful. The hosts, Paula and Bill, communicated well and readily available. Would definitely visit again.

3 nights at Moon In The Pond Farm

Our stay at Dom's Moon in the Pond farm was ideal. The cabin was cozy and comfortable while the screens successfully kept the bugs out. The property is bucolic with adorable cows, lambs, chickens, etc. We pre ordered the spicy sausage with fennel along with other farm fresh foods - which were delicious. It was the perfect home after a long day of swimming and hiking. Would definitely come again!

Weekend Trip to Fernwood on Alan F.’s Land

We loved camping at Fernwood 2! It was our first time camping in a long time and it was the perfect setting. Having our own bathroom was a nice touch. We thought it was shared. Loved the fire pit and shady area to setup our tent. The firefly's and stars at night were spectacular! Alan was very helpful you can tell the area is well kept and loved. Make sure to bring lots of bug spray. We didn't get to see all the trails, but we'll definetly be back. Thank you so much!!

Weekend Trip to Maple Corner Farm

One of our favorite camps! The ground for a tent was level, mulched, and under tree cover. The large field offered a ton of privacy making it nearly impossible to see the camp from the gate area. The stream about 100 yards into the woods behind the site was flowing at a trickle but we hung out at the site primarily. The fire pit was big too. Plenty of dead and downed wood to keep the fire going too. This is the second site of Dave’s we have stayed at and both have been great experiences.

Weekend Trip to Humble Farm with Simplicity

This site is exactly as described and pictured! Both hosts - Mary and Viktor - were extremely kind and welcoming. Yes, there was another group camping in the paddock BUT there's enough space that there was still plenty of privacy (more than a public campground). There was plenty of firewood provided at a reasonable $10. Everything was clean. Would definitely camp here again!

Weekend Trip to Upper Shire Campsites Hudson Valley

Everything was amazing , a frame was good and peaceful atmosphere

Weekend Trip to Forest Treasure Island

Nice spot in a beautiful woody area with various barnyard animals and a play structure for kids. Very friendly and helpful hosts!

Weekend Trip to Blueberry Orchard By The Pond

Great isolated spot! The blueberry orchard was beautiful and we didn’t see any other people our whole trip. Host was accommodating too. I would definitely recommend this spot

Weekend Trip to Hartwoods

My wife and I wanted a quiet couple of days with our dog and this place was perfect. Very clean flat site. Thanks it was just what we wanted. We will be coming back in the future.

Weekend Trip to Pegasus Farms LLC

This campsite was everything we hoped for and more. It’s perfect for self-sustainable, off-grid campers looking for peace, privacy, and a deep connection with nature. The site is quiet and secluded, with a very clean and well-stocked outhouse—such a thoughtful detail that made a big difference. The host was incredibly friendly and considerate, striking that perfect balance of being helpful while still respecting our space. The woodlands surrounding the site are absolutely beautiful, and the fireflies that come out at dusk created such a magical atmosphere. A definite highlight was watching the farm animals—seeing the horses and cows all peacefully eating hay together was entertaining and soothing. We did have an encounter with a bear family during our stay, which was both awe-inspiring and a good reminder: come prepared and practice smart wildlife safety. This is truly a wild and natural area, and that’s part of its beauty. We left feeling grounded, inspired, and already planning a return trip. Highly recommended for anyone who wants a genuine off-grid experience with a touch of farm charm and real wilderness.

Weekend Trip to Pegasus Farms LLC

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I can’t say enough wonderful things about our stay at this horse farm! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warm hospitality by Farmer Ron, whose kindness and genuine love for the land made us feel right at home. He greeted us with a smile, gave us a quick tour, and made sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Waking up to the soft sounds of horses and birds was incredibly calming. The property itself is spacious and serene—ideal for anyone looking to disconnect and recharge. The hosts were friendly, helpful, and clearly passionate about caring for the animals and the land. A highlight of our trip was spending time with the horses—especially Chunky! Chunky the horse stole our hearts with his sweet, gentle personality and his big, lovable eyes. We looked forward to seeing him every day. There were thoughtful touches everywhere, from firewood availability to clean facilities and helpful local recommendations. Whether you're an animal lover, an outdoor enthusiast, or just someone looking for a unique and peaceful place to stay, this horse farm is a hidden gem. We’re already planning our next trip back—highly recommend! And give Chunky a carrot for us!

4 nights at Fernwood on Alan F.’s Land

Another amazing weekend at Alan's land. Him and his wife are amazing and the sites are very well cared for.

Mickelberry Forest Gardens

2 sites · RVs, Tents4 acres · Newtown , CT

The meadow we occupy was once the farmers property that I grew up next to at my parents farm house. When he wanted to sell his property he offered it to us for purchase at a fair price if we would not develop more than we needed to live here. We maintained the meadow adjacent to our property and have kept it as an agricultural site. We have had our son develop an edible forest garden and a unique diversified small orchard so we can eat and share healthy organic fruits and vegetables while helping our environment and wildlife and educating others to do the same. It is expensive to live in Newtown but we love our property. We want to teach others to grow food from their land while helping to support us keeping our adjacent property agricultural and undeveloped. Our property has provided many happy gatherings and events and we love to share it with others. Let us know if there is anything special we can help provide for you. Come visit Mickleberry!!! Learn more about this land: Thank you to all the wonderful friends we have met through this amazing program. We regret that our community at this time does now allow for "transient" renting of property and I unknowingly was operating outside of the zoning rules and regulations of our town. Please continue to get outside and enjoy all the beautiful places and spaces this world has to offer and keep in touch. We love you all! Thank you for your support! Bill and Amy Enjoy your stay next to our edible forest garden on the Edge of a beautiful meadow along side the orchard of berries, nuts and fruit trees.
