1 night at Greener Pastures Camp

Great stop for a night during my road trip! Jessica was very nice and the camp area while in the open still felt private enough from the house.

Weekend Trip to Greener Pastures Camp

Green Pastures is a true hidden gem! Jessica was a warm and welcoming host who went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. She provided fresh water, firewood and shared her deep knowledge of her homestead animals, her friendly chickens and ducks added such charm to the experience. My sister and I learned so much and left feeling both relaxed and inspired. Highly recommend for anyone looking to unwind and reconnect with nature.

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!

Weekend Trip to Peconic River Campgrounds

We loved our stay! The land is very peaceful and Tyler was a great host.

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 Peconic River Campgrounds

This is a great place for rustic camping and freshwater fishing. The owner was very friendly and the sites well maintained. Will definitely return.

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

1 night at Holiday Hill

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

1 night at Maybrook Farm - The Ridge

After a long day of cycling, it was such a joy to roll right off the Empire State Trail and into the meadow for a good night’s rest! Getting in was a breeze, and the pop-up bathroom and water jug were very welcome amenities. If you’re looking for a good site on this section of the EST, you’ve found it!

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.

Weekend Trip to Peconic River Campgrounds

The grounds are beautiful. The water has fish and Tyler was great. He helped sort out a hiccup w our neighbors who forgot that blasting loud music in 150 feet from others at bedtime is rude. He even jumped my truck when my kiddo left the lights on!

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!

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.

Deer Mountain Farm

1 site · Tent70 acres · Sharon, CT

Since 1800.Learn more about this land:Privacy, exclusivity and serenityJoin us at Deer Mountain Farm, nestled on a plateau at the top of Deer Mountain, near the Sharon/West Cornwall border in Connecticut's legendary and historic Northwest Corner, surrounded by unspoiled forest land and beautiful distant hills. Deer Mountain Farm offers the ultimate in privacy, with 70 acres of land, no neighbors in sight or earshot, and no other campers to disturb you. Our beautiful old farm features 30 acres of fields and 40 acres of forest preserved for wildflowers and wildlife, a mere 3,000 feet from the Appalachian Trail. Located at the very top of the hill on a dead end road that terminates at the state forest, we are blessed with complete quiet, zero traffic, and no noisy neighbors.To ensure the ultimate in tranquility and privacy, we offer only a single campsite situated at the edge of an expanse of fields filled with wildflowers. You will never be disturbed by other campers because we only host a single group at a time.We maintain the property in such as a way as to provide maximum hospitality to local wildlife. Grasses in the fields are allowed to grow long, and the forest is kept relatively untouched, providing excellent habitats and food sources for ground-nesting birds. A dizzying array of circular pathways wind their way through the fields.On a recent birding walk with an expert from Audubon, we spotted at least twenty species of bird, including Grey Catbird, Eastern Towhee, Chestnut-sided Warbler, American Redstart, Red-eyed Vireo, Veery, Ovenbird, Common Yellowthroat, Song Sparrow, Chipping Sparrow, Yellow Warbler, Purple Finch, Tufted Titmouse, Brown-headed Cowbird, Black-capped Chickadee, Bluebird, Black-and-white Warbler, Baltimore Oriole, Pileated Woodpecker, Tree Swallow, Red-shouldered Hawk, Eastern Phoebe, Mourning Dove and many others.Take a path through the woods to a dirt road that leads you straight to the Appalachian Trail (past a singularly ambitious beaver pond) and enjoy a day hike, or simply enjoy the stillness and the incredible variety of bird sounds. Spot the occasional coyote, bobcat, or bear in the quiet and watch the raptors circle overhead as they hunt rodents in the fields. Deer Mountain Farm is bordered by 3,500 acres of preserved State Forest land, teeming with birds, whitetail deer, coyotes, wild turkey, possums, occasional bears, bobcats -- just to name those creatures we spot regularly around the farm. The Appalachian Trail runs right through this stretch.At the bottom of our little mountain runs the Housatonic River, a very popular destination for fly-fishing and canoeing. Electric bikes can be rented in the nearby village of West Cornwall. Kent Falls is about 15 minutes down the road, also a great place for a day trip. Explore the area, then return to your secluded campsite to enjoy the sunset in a chorus of tree frogs and birdsong.The large swamp just down the hill through the woods is a very popular spot for passing birds and other wildlife. An Appalachian Trail campsite provides paths down to the water for bathing.Enjoy the bounty of outdoor activities the Northwest Corner has to offer, then enjoy the absolute peace and stillness of Deer Mountain Farm.The SiteOur single Hipcamp campsite is about 500 feet from the dead-end road, separated by a grove of sumac and a stone wall. Very private but only a short stroll from the main house where indoor facilities, including bathroom and shower, are provided exclusively for campers. As we are located at the top of a small mountain with consistent winds, directly bordered by the state forest, and our property consists largely of grasslands and forest, we do not allow traditional campfires on the site. However, we provide both a charcoal grill and a small firepit that may be used by campers, weather and aridity permitting.At Deer Mountain Farm, we live surrounded by wildlife and the beauty of nature and hope to share this magic with you.
