Weekend Trip to Glamping with the Wild Horses
We had an amazing time! When we got there we were greeted by Jody & she was AMAZING! She helped us get settled in and made sure we knew that if there was anything we needed we could call her. The beds were incredibly comfortable, it downpoured so hard for most of the night and the dome was great! It didn’t let a single drop of rain in. There’s a wood stove in the dome and it was enough to keep us toasty warm even though it was in the low 30’s, they also provide tons of warm comfy blankets. There was plenty of wood chopped right outside the domes so if you run out it’s very close. We were able to go and help feed the herd and had the opportunity to give plenty of scratches! In the morning we booked the hike with the horses with Tatianna & Chris which was amazing! We were actually in the areas with the gorgeous herd and were able to get hands on again! I honestly could go on all night talking about how amazing it was but in my opinion the very best part of everything was the fact that every single cent that I spent while we were there went right back into caring for and maintaining the herd. When I was looking for a place to go that’s what sealed the deal and made the decision to pick this place very easy!! I highly HIGHLY recommend checking it out for yourself, you won’t be disappointed!

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.

The property and wild horses was breath taking the whole experience exceeded our expectations. The staff and owners were beyond friendly and went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. Would definitely come back again and recommend for anyone that has a love for horses and nature to come and have a stay.

Weekend Trip to Glamping with the Wild Horses
This was so much fun! To wake up and see the horses (and donkeys!) wandering right outside our dome was perfect, and getting to do the walk about with MacKenzie and learn about the horses and their background was so interesting.
The dome was clean and cozy, with a little wood stove. We weathered a hurricane in October with no problems.

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.

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!

Weekend Trip to Glamping with the Wild Horses
MacKenzie’s wild horse sanctuary is a very special place! We had a great experience. All of the staff were very knowledgeable and kind. We learned a lot about their mission and had a lot of interaction with the horses.
The glamping domes were very comfortable and nicely decorated. There was a grill by the communal campfire for cooking, but you will need to bring your own pots and pans, utensils, plates, etc. You should also bring your own drinking water. The terrain near the domes is rocky and uneven, so you should bring good shoes, even if you don’t plan on hiking. You have to walk for a little bit to get to the outhouse, but it is the nicest-looking and nicest-smelling outhouse you will ever see!
If you love horses, put this place on the top of your list!

MacKenzie and her wild mustangs are absolutely incredible! Our visit was so much more than we imagined — not only did we gain fascinating insights into positive reinforcement training, but we also had the joy of experiencing it firsthand. Every moment felt inspiring and heartwarming. The entire team at the property radiates warmth and passion, making the experience truly special. And the campsite domes, fantastic. We left with full hearts and a deeper appreciation for these majestic animals, and we will most certainly be back!

Weekend Trip to Humble Farm with Simplicity
This spot was absolutely beautiful 😍❤️ We had a great experience. Both host were so friendly and welcoming. Horses that came up to our trailer was an incredible experience. I've never slept in a horse trailer, but there's a first for everything. I didn't get the greatest sleep. But hey, it's a horse trailer. There's a few minor things I would update, but honestly for the spot, cost and just amazing time we had. It was perfect! And literally no bugs when we were outside hanging out.

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!

The best family-friendly glamping in Connecticut guide
Where to go
Litchfield and the Northwest
The sweeping woodlands and patchwork slopes of the Litchfield Hills afford some of Connecticut’s most enchanting views. This is the spot for fall foliage walks, leisurely bike rides, and trout fishing along the Housatonic River. Hop between the chocolate-box villages of Kent, Cornwall Bridge, and Litchfield; dine at farm-to-table restaurants; then park your RV or pitch your tent at Lake Waramaug State Park, Housatonic Meadows State Park, or Macedonia Brook State Park.
Fairfield and the Southwest
A ferry ride from Long Island and a short drive from NYC, coastal Fairfield fills up with weekending New Yorkers come the summer months. Check into a beachside cabin or seafront RV park at beach resorts like Stamford, Bridgeport, and Fairfield, or head inland to hike in the hills, admire the mansion houses and golf courses of Greenwich, or go glamping in the woods.
Hartford and Central Connecticut
While the state capital of Hartford is the biggest draw to Connecticut’s central region, pastoral farmlands, pretty villages, and state parks dot the banks of the Connecticut River Valley. The best camping options are in the state parks, whether you prefer a tranquil spot by the riverside in River Highlands State Park, boat-in camping at Selden Neck State Park, or exploring a medieval castle at Gillette Castle State Park.
Greater New Haven
Connecticut’s cultural capital and foodie hub, New Haven is famous for its prestigious museums, Yale University, and award-winning pizzerias. Hop between beach towns along the north shore of the Long Island Sound and you’ll find great family campgrounds, amusement parks, and sandy beaches, or pitch a tent right by the beach at Hammonasset Beach State Park. Further east, the white sand beaches of Rocky Neck State Park are a bird-watching hotspot, especially in spring.
Eastern Connecticut
You’ll find old-fashioned seaside resorts, and leafy country escapes in equal measures in south-eastern Connecticut’s Mystic Country. Once you’ve hit the beach and the seafront casinos, head inland to cruise the Thames River, drive the National Scenic Byway of Route 169, or fish and paddle at Mashamoquet Brook and Hopeville Pond state parks.
