Laurel Ridge Farm
1. Laurel Ridge Farm
48mi from Darien · 1 site · Tent, RV
Laurel Ridge Farm is Litchfield's largest estate, a working grass-fed beef farm, and the site of a well-loved tourist attraction that appears every spring: the Laurel Ridge Daffodils.
Guests will have access to a large, flat pasture with easy road access—an open field of about 50 acres where you can roam freely. We do not grant access to the entire property because it is a working farm with livestock and farm dogs, but the guest-accessible field is grand and gorgeous.
You can also enjoy farm-to-table beef and pork products with a visit to our farmstand in an old converted windmill just down the road. This setting is well known for its elevated outlook, ten-mile views, and stunning sunrises and sunsets.
If you wish to leave the farm and explore the area, you can sample the restaurants and shops of Litchfield County, a country haven that is quickly growing in popularity. Visit the serene beaches of Bantam Lake or Lake Waramaug, or hike through White Memorial’s thousands of acres of nature preserve or one of the many nearby state parks—there are dozens of beautiful spots within reach.
For culture buffs, visit the Institute for American Indian Studies in Washington, the Historical Society in Litchfield, or the art galleries in Kent. You can also enjoy lively family-friendly events at several local farms during the summer, featuring live music, food trucks, and more.
Take a stroll through historic Litchfield town center (a 5-minute drive) to admire the 18th- and 19th-century mansions and majestic old trees. The charming town also features top-rated shopping and restaurants for every taste and budget—from pizza by the slice to Michelin-starred cuisine. A general store is conveniently located just a mile down the road from our farm.
We look forward to welcoming you to our beautiful family farm in Litchfield.

Welcome to our Hudson Valley Farm with designated campsites nestled beside a serene pond. This isn’t wilderness camping, but rather a unique opportunity to experience a beautiful farm setting while enjoying the outdoors. You’ll have a reserved camp spot with easy access to the meadows perfect for leisurely walks, birdwatching, or simply taking in the fresh country air and sounds.
As an active farm, you may see and hear farm machinery, cars, and other people coming and going during your stay. We ask campers to be mindful of these normal farm operations while enjoying the scenic views.
During the summer prepare for a magical display of fireflies, which light up the meadows and pond area, creating an incredible summer experience.
For your convenience, there is a rustic barn bathroom with a flush toilet, sink, soap and clean towels available on the property, offering basic but comfortable facilities for campers.
This is a pack it in/pack it out property - all trash and recycling must be removed by campers when they depart.
We are located adjacent to the Mid-County Rod and Gun Club and you may hear outdoor sport shooting.
Visiting over the 4th of July? Enjoy a spectacular fireworks display hosted by our neighboring property—an unforgettable way to celebrate the holiday right from your campsite.
Come reconnect with nature in a beautiful setting with the beauty of rolling meadows, and the calming pond as your backdrop. Wake up to singing birds next to the pond or walk the meadow with your morning cup of coffee.

We loved camping at the Hudson Valley Farm! It is impossible to overstate how stunning Allison's property is. The sunset view, stars, and colorful foliage over the rolling hills were so beautiful, we could not get over it or stop taking photos! The Secluded Pondside campsite felt private and peaceful, and the fence nearby provided helpful wind protection during an overnight storm. The site is a short walk from the parking spot, so not quite drive up (though the pond site is drive up, fyi) -- be prepared to carry things back and forth from the site, or ask to borrow a wheelbarrow, which made it super easy. It was great to have access to running water by the parking for doing dishes, and a clean half bathroom (with hot water!) a short walk up the hill in the barn. Our hosts were warm, welcoming, generous, and very responsive to messages. Could not recommend this spot more, especially in fall but I imagine it's completely gorgeous year round.

Simple and beautiful farm setting with fire pit for the night. Woke up to beautiful views of fall foliage. Lovely hosts. Went the extra mile by delivering us coffee in the AM and giving us peppers from her garden.
