Weekend Trip to Greener Pastures Camp

Host is very friendly and communicative. The land is well kept and the spot is ethereal. Saw a few lightening bugs at night and the birds sang to me in the morning. It felt relatively private with my car set up, the ground was level and offered lots of room to stretch my legs :)

Super secluded and quiet but really accessible! Lovely sound of birds. Everything worked perfectly.

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.

The campsite was great and we set up our tent right next to our car. Although we couldn’t find firewood to use for our campfire we used the bark and it was a good starter. Very calm and peaceful vibe 10/10

2 nights at Water Forest Retreat

The stay was fantastic! Private, well maintained, and had everything you needed for a great camping adventure. The nature hike was a lot of fun!

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.

3 nights at Hartwoods

This was a lovely place for us to stay with our Aliner Evolution 15 while we visited our Connecticut family members for the weekend. We drove from Cleveland with our camper (a long drive) and we were especially grateful for the electric hookup and the privacy of the property. This site will be our #1 choice when we return to visit family in the future!

1 night at Greener Pastures Camp

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

Beautiful woods, so quiet, private and immaculately clean! This was a lovely one night stop for us on our way back from a competition in RI. FYI: the road in is quite narrow and my GPS took my 1/4 mi past the drive to a gated dead end. Thank heavens my trailer is small and I can do a 3 point turn! There is a sign on a tree next to the entry but sign is small and same color as the tree. My eyes are old. Lol. Other than that it was gorgeous!

Weekend Trip to Humble Farm with Simplicity

Mary and Víctor’s farm was exactly I was looking for, a place out of the city to connect with nature, Mary and Victor are an amazing hostess, I went with my dogs and they really had fun, I recommend this place, the best

Weekend Trip to Vernal Heights

We had a phenomenal time at Addison's place. Very secluded, close to fly fishing heaven, and the locals were incredibly warm and welcoming. 11/10. Will be back.

1 night at Blueberry Orchard By The Pond

We had a wonderful stay at John’s blueberry Orchard. Incredibly private and quaint. The campsite is tucked back into the woods away from the road by the little pond and the Orchard and Sugar shack created a very sweet and romantic atmosphere. John was incredibly kind and responsive to messages and the coffee, honey, and sourdough bread or to die for. Absolutely no trouble with wildlife whatsoever. With 100% stay here again.

1 night at Holiday Hill

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

Very clean level lot. Gravel base was great. Water wasn’t turned on but I brought my own so it wasn’t a big deal. The camping site is much closer to the road than I originally expected. There was quite a bit of car traffic and some dirt bikes and 18 wheelers. Being a solo female camper in a popup tent, this was a little concerning at first because there wasn’t as much privacy as I expected, but it worked out fine and was a lovely night away.

Weekend Trip to A Farm for All!

Nice place. Great outside fire location and right next to a stream. Only complaint is that site was close to the road.

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.

1 night at Turtle Bend Farm

I never actually stayed here, as my plans changed. But Margaret was super responsive with queries, which is always a plus.

Weekend Trip to Hartwoods

Great spot for a night or two level and clean !

Rosy Goat Farm

4 sites · RVs, Tents13 acres · Gilbertville, MA

Welcome to Rosy Goat Farm!! We are the quintessential family farm/homestead, our farmhouse was built in the 1840’s Bill and I bought this 13-acre property in 2012, It was overgrown with wild roses. We have worked with a limited budget, and used animals to clear the land. The goats love the wild roses. The pigs dig the roses up. Chickens rake it clean. Win win! Very interesting place here- lots to tell you, there’s quite a list of things to do and see around here! Did you know that Gilbertville has a covered bridge? It is one of the last covered bridges still in use in Massachusetts! First- a touch of Hardwick History: Rev. Timothy Ruggles bought this land from the Native Americans for his family to live on, and to work the land. His son, Brigadeer General Timothy Ruggles became unpopular after he introduced the Stamp Act, and was banished to Nova Scotia. His daughter Bathsheba became the last woman executed in the United States for the murder of her husband Joshua Spooner. (There’s a book about it called Murdered by his wife, by Deborah Navas.) Want to know local eateries? For breakfasts and lunch there is The Whistle Stop diner, it was a former Boston & Albany Railroad station. Speaking of railroads, did you know that The Mass Central Rail Trail runs through Gilbertville! Rose 32, is a well known bakery that serves tea, coffee and sandwiches. There’s Hardwick house of Pizza- for tasty pizza and subs, which also serves beer. Feeling fancy? Try Hardwick Crossing Country Club (features a 9 hole golf course), it has a restaurant with a full-service bar, gorgeous scenery! Its a 3 minute drive from here Mimi’s for your morning coffee and lunch, yum! And it overlooks our beautiful Common! Also check out Stone Cow Brewery in Barre -has a kids play area while you wait for your meal! Ware has Mexicali Grill, Theresa’s Restaurant for Italian foods, Bellies Barnyard for traditional American cuisine, and, Pig Park BBQ for comfort food! Farmer Mat in North Brookfield has take out meals- there are picnic tables available, beautiful views. Things to do: You can kayak, and fish, at Swift River in Belchertown. Hardwick is the home of the oldest agricultural fair in the US, held every year in August, and, every Sunday there’s a small farmers market on the common. Hardwick also has a winery- Hardwick Vineyard and Winery, they have all kinds of events, (find them on facebook) and, check out Lost Towns brewery- the name is a throwback to the 4 towns that were submerged to create the Quabbin Reservoir! Medicine River Pow Wow is in August here in Gilbertville, on River Run Rd. The East Quabbin Land Trust has birdwatching and fabulous views, and the Mass Central Rail Trail entrance is located here. Bike it or hike it! Quabbin Reservoir is close by for boating and fishing. There are free concerts in Grenville Park in Ware, (check for dates). Ware also has Janine’s Frostee ice cream and fast foods- and live music on weekend nights! Also check out these on line: Ragged Hill orchard and Rock House Reservation in West Brookfield, and Carter and Stevens farm in Barre. The Leicester, and Mendon movie drive-in’s. Old Sturbridge village is 30 minutes away. Lake Lashaway has a swimming area in East Brookfield, right off of Rte 9. It’s about 20 minutes from here. Lake Siog in Holland has a lovely picnic area and beach for swimming. (30 mins South from here) Is this area great or what?!

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!!!

The Sandbox Campground

3 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents12 acres · Groton, CT

The Sandbox campground was born from The Sandbox Indoor Beach Sports and Events facility, which mainly focuses on providing year round beach volleyball. We bought the property in 2015 and opened the facility in 2019. As it happens, it's a 12+ acre lot surrounded by wetlands, hiking and biking trails ... there will never be another building built within view of our facility. We are surrounded by nature, and will be forever. So what a great opportunity to offer camping and access to all of the forests, woodlands, wetlands and trails around! And if you're up for it, come play some beach volleyball and meet new lifelong friends :)
