Two shelters side by side with a campfire ring and two picnic tables.

3 nights at Holiday Hill

I loved camping at Holiday Hill. The lean-tos provided a great place to set up and enjoy the first camp of the year. The camp is beautiful and the kids must love it. There is plenty to do and great hikes in the area. Jesse was super helpful but we had all the privacy needed. I will definitely be returning.

Weekend Trip to Greener Pastures Camp

Jessica was very friendly and greeted me warmly. The field where I camped was freshly mown when I arrived. There was a picnic table for my use, and a firepit with free firewood (though I didn’t actually have a fire). The location was very easy to find. It was also close to Wadsworth Falls State Park, an excellent place to hike.

1 night at Greener Pastures Camp

What a nice spot to spend the night. Very beautiful and quiet.

1 night at Holiday Hill

I love staying in the Hawk's Nest lean to! Great view from up on the hill!

4 nights at Upper Shire Campsites Hudson Valley

This was our second time camping here, and it was again wonderful. Jo was incredibly accomodating as we navigated getting out of the city, and the a-frame is so cozy! We also loved the (brand new) outdoor showers. On the rainy day we checked out nearby restaurants and Berkshire towns - especially recommend Great Barrington. We'll definitely be back!

2 nights at Greener Pastures Camp

Nice large pasture setting away from house with picnic table and metal fire pit. Some incline to get to spot and a not completely flat area, but not a big issue. Hose to get water but must bring everything else. Close to Middletown with quiet roads to bike on, nature hikes (Wadsworth Falls) plus plenty of golf nearby. Very good owners!

1 night at Atland Artist Residency

Beautiful property and communicative host! Would definitely stay here again!

1 night at Holiday Hill

Great spot! Jesse was incredibly friendly and the spot was fantastic. Cool trails nearby to bike or hike. Would definitely come back if in the area again.

2 nights at Upper Shire Campsites Hudson Valley

Joanna’s sites are beautifully and thoughtfully laid out. The airstream was comfortable and fun to sleep in. Joanna was communicative and helpful. We saw turtles in the pond, a barred owl, lotsa birds and deer walked by too.

1 night at Taconic Forest FALL Camping!

I had a great experience with Constance and camping there! I was a late arrival 11:30pm and they came out to show me the site and the restroom! I appreciated that after a long drive and tired. She was a great communicator and hostess! She even gave us a basket of fruit! So kind. The location is great. You can get gas nearby, a convenience store, and Dunkin’ Donuts! Thank you, Constance! I would stay again!

Weekend Trip to Quentins Treehouse

Truly magical location. The space itself is simple and clean, the bed is comfortable (we brought our own sleeping bags.) Already thinking about when I might come back in the summer.

Weekend Trip to Upper Shire Campsites Hudson Valley

This was my second trip to Uppershire. It’s a wonderful piece of property with amazing hosts Barb and Joanna. Each site is curated carefully and the amenities keep being added. Last year a hot outdoor shower and this year a new log cabin for a glamping experience. Although I am a squaredrop camper (think queen bed on wheels) I really appreciate the serene land coupled with the amazing hosts, and cute town ta boot.

Weekend Trip to Holiday Hill

A group of us wanted to do a camping trip somewhere that had privacy but wasn’t too in the wild. This was the perfect place! Great set up and wood being supplied was HUGE.

Weekend Trip to Greener Pastures Camp

This place was so lovely! We arrived late, but the hosts stayed up to show us around and offered us firewood. Their property is very beautiful, and waking up to the sound of the birds was just perfect. Thank you guys, 100% will come back!

1 night at Greener Pastures Camp

It was a great place to stay the night! Jessica was very accessible for communication. On arrival, she showed us the different place we could park our camper van and we had access to free firewood too. It was quiet and very private!

Weekend Trip to Upper Shire Campsites Hudson Valley

Beautiful space. Nice and accommodating hosts! Perfect off grid spot!

Weekend Trip to Greener Pastures Camp

It was a very nice spot. Beautiful scenery. There is alot to do around the area. Plenty of hiking and fishing. It was very quiet. The response from Jessica was always within a timely manner and very pleasant to communicate with. I plan on returning to this location in the future. I would recommend to anyone.

Weekend Trip to Mickelberry Forest Gardens

Very kid friendly with all the animals nearby. Great owners of the property- very welcoming! Very clean site as well.

3 nights at Holiday Hill

I don't usually pay as much as I did for a dry site, and before I got there I had some misgivings about the cost, however once I arrived, settled in and got to meet Jesse and some of the staff and learn about the camp and their mission as well as explored the offerings in the area, I had no regrets. Staff was extremely welcoming. The site itself is basic. I have a 14 ft trailer, about 8 ft wide & it fit in well between two trees and required no leveling. A larger rig would fit, however I can't say if it would be level for you and might be a tight fit. The camp road does pass directly in front of the site. The camp was not open, however maintenance staff did begin to arrive & there was traffic during the day. Therefore, depending upon the time you're here, there could be much more activity. However, if you enjoy hiking, biking or paddling, you won't be there much, so it will not matter! You can walk across the street and hike the Natchaug Reservation, where there are miles of beautiful trails! Just a couple of miles down the road there is Mansfield Hollow State Park and dam, which has AMAZING hiking trails, a beautiful 500 acre lake and paved trails to the dam should you prefer that type of stroll. The area is absolutely beautiful! The campsite was extremely quiet at night. You will hear light traffic noise during the day, however at night it disappears. If you are a tent camper, the lean-to site is awesome! It's set up on the hill in the back, private and just a great site.

Weekend Trip to Forest Treasure Island

Super lovely site, loads of friendly animals, and an extremely kind host!

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. Various seasons will offer you an opportunity to pick your own breakfast in our maturing establishment. You can enjoy exploring, and examining our 7 year permacultuire food forest with chestnut seedlings already tall enough to climb , 10-foot hazels bearing buckets of nuts and a different selection of raspberries, blackberries, gooseberry, currents, golden berries, service berries and Mulberries. Enjoy a stroll through the meadow trail to breath in morning views and evening fireflies and stars. This camp area is very private but household amenities are not far away if desired. This site is much more private than Mickelberry Forest Garden Site and the beautiful mountain view is only a small step away. One mile away we offer nearby blue mark trails, mountain biking, lake and outdoor activities are at your fingertips and your hosts will be happy to provide any assistance needed to find or enjoy these opportunities. The Creamery (Ferris Acres) is one of the best farm ice cream shops in the East. We can provide breakfast upon request from our free range chickens on our kiwi lined deck with beautiful mountain views. Come and enjoy the croak of the bullfrog and the sound of the crickets.
