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!

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!

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!

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.

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!

We had an excellent stay at Jan and Diana’s!
The tents are in the forest yet close to their house which gave us both privacy and the opportunity to use their amazing backyard which our kids loved - playground, farm animals, sandbox…
The tents were ready for us and spacious. Jan and Diana were there that weekend and very kind, helping out whenever we needed - they got us dish soap which we had forgotten, offered that we use veggies from their garden etc.
We ordered the breakfast which turned out to be an excellent brunch.

Max's land was perfect, just as advertised. It was very private and safe. Our dogs loved running through the field. Directions were perfect. Never even met host - didn't need too. Check out the Log Cabin restaurant less than 5 minutes away, great food!

Fantastic stay for first time campers looking for a little exposure to the outdoors. Great accommodations with a clean porta potty and plenty of wood for the fire. It’s easy go for a hike into the woods nearby and listen to forest around you!

Dog-friendly camping in Connecticut guide
Overview
Skip the kennel—a dog-friendly campsite makes for a seamless Connecticut outdoor adventure. You won't have to worry about anyone left behind but can instead hop, skip, and jump from your RV—or simply reserve a cabin or treehouse with all the amenities. Whether near New Haven, Bridgeport, or Hartford, book a vacation rental with water access to play fetch along the Atlantic Ocean, or lead your dog through the tranquil forests of the Appalachian Trail, where parts wind through the state's valleys and mountains. For the ultimate reprieve, skip the activities and unwind at a campsite or cozy cabin with a hammock, fire pit, and hot tub. While you relax at your pet-friendly cabin, you won't have to worry about whether your dog is having a good time thanks to having plenty of space for play. Isn't shared joy the best kind of treat?
