Easy to find, right on the water. Price is right. Not far from the highway.

Incredible experience with kids. What Yana and husband created on their property is a must to experience if you have kids. Just book it and make sure to ask for whatever you need, because it's all ala carte. Humble, lower tier glamping, but makes up in atmosphere and amenities for kids and interaction with the animals. 10/10 would stay again.

Easy spot, close to boat ramp and park. Might be some noise at night and spots are close to each other, but fits the bill,

Nice quiet place for an RV. We have a 31’ RV and had no troubles at all finding the place or parking. We’d definitely try to stay here again in the future.

What a magical experience! Goats, chickens, geese, ducks, amazing Rica the dog, playground for toddlers (5-7 years). Jan and Diane were accommodating and attentive to our requests. Be prepared to come with your camping equipments including cookware and utensils. Sleeping bags were provided. A supermarket is 2 minutes away so you can get anything you might have forgotten anyway.

2 nights at Serene Shoreline Retreat Farm House
Dr Ivette’s farm house is cute and very comfortable. She goes over and above to make your stay comfortable. The farm is amazing and interesting. The beach is a few minutes walk. Definitely worth the trip.

Felt secure and got a good night’s sleep. Wish our stay had been longer to allow us to see more of the area.

1 night at Forest Treasure Island
Jan's farm is absolutely gorgeous!! I thoroughly enjoyed my stay in one of the cabbage tents. The camping areas are far enough from the main house for privacy but close enough for comfort. They've built so many sweet nooks for relaxing and enjoying the beautiful woods, would definitely recommend a stay! I would warn future campers that their land is very close to a train station so be prepared for horns in addition to the lovely farm noises from the chickens, ducks, geese and even peacocks!

Wonderful experience. Our hostess was gracious and we enjoyed a fantastic gourmet dinner. The area is absolutely perfect for children and they were thrilled to find the play area along with a most friendly dog.

Great place for groups with kids who don’t want to bring/set up their own tent, various spacious tents available. huge playground, farm animals, campfire spot including chairs and friendly dog. We had to adjust to the idea that we were camping in someone’s backyard. Lovely owners &family with a can-do & attitude on life. They let you be, but are keen to know what your story is if you’re up for that. The younger daughter was happy to answer any of our questions 😎 and my son played chess with one of the daughters. Thanks for exposing our kids to this great experience!

Harbour House was a great find. Right off the 95. Rob let us know about the area. There is a nice bike route/walk on the water and a new outdoor restaurant and creamery, Riva, that just opened in the route. Walkable and very nice. We also sat in the patio for our morning coffee that overlooks the harbor. We would return and recommend Harbor House
FYI: there is a Dump Station at I91 South Bound, Wallingford Rest Area https://maps.app.goo.gl/omAp4ijQXfjzsWC7A?g_st=ipc

Harbour House was a great find. It’s not easy finding spots off the interstate. We needed a spot on our way to NYC and this worked out well. We added two more nights. As noted, it is right next door to the public boat launch, but city maintenance keeps it cleaned up. Also the police monitor it on a regular basis. We would recommend Zuppardi’s Apizza. A local spot. We enjoyed it. We would come again.

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!
