Weekend Trip to Historic Riverside Farm

This site was awesome I couldn’t be happier. Melissa and Sam are wonderful hosts and I can’t wait to come back here

Weekend Trip to Moon In The Pond Farm

We loved our stay here! We were on the pond site and we loved the sound of the frogs and nature in the night time. It was also nice to walk the trails and see all the other animals on the farm. The campsite was very private and came with a fireplace. Dominic was very kind when we chatted and gave us a good amount of wood for $10! Thanks for the awesome stay!

2 nights at The Mountain Top @Wright's Farm

It was our second visit to Wrights farm and it did not disappoint. It’s an easy and smooth checkin. And the farm store onsite is an added bonus. Everyone is friendly and helpful. Gardiner is a quaint town with plenty of restaurants and cafes. And moon mountain is a short drive. The camp site is spacious, and flat with beautiful views and a nice breeze. The new fire ring is also awesome. There is also a port-a-potty which was sparkling clean, and had ample TP and soap. The only little caveat is that the picnic tables are far from the “site”, and they are heavy and old. I would recommend bringing your own table if possible. Overall, I highly recommend Wrights Farm for a spectacular camping experience. We will definitely be back!!

1 night at Historic Riverside Farm

Great experience! There’s a river and also many farms nearby that you could visit. 20-30 min drive to ice cave trail which is very fun.

Weekend Trip to Historic Riverside Farm

We had such a great time at Sam and Melissa's farm! The setting was beautiful and peaceful—we especially loved spending time down by the river. There was lots of privacy and our dog loved swimming and exploring the open space! We even saw some deer. Unfortunately, the weather didn’t fully cooperate and it rained quite a bit, which meant we had to cut our stay short. But Sam and Melissa were incredibly accommodating and kindly refunded us for the night we had to forgo due to the weather. We really appreciated their hospitality and would definitely love to come back under sunnier skies!

Weekend Trip to Historic Riverside Farm

We loved our time here! The property is beautiful, directions were clear, paths were maintained so well, the rushing creek nearby was cathartic. The camping ‘toilet’ was easy to maneuver. We would love to return!

Weekend Trip to Moon In The Pond Farm

This is such a lovely place to spend a few nights! Dom is very kind and helpful, and met us upon arrival to make sure we had everything we need. The tent site is awesome - the pond is beautiful and the site is private. The animals are the best part!! They are always out and about and super cute :)

Weekend Trip to Pegasus Farms LLC

I loved tent camping there. It was peaceful and host was friendly.

2 nights at Red Fox Meadow Campsite

Camping here was great! The trails were very fun and my pup got to go swimming in the pond- the location was super close to everything we needed but still private and out in the woods, I’d love to come back!

1 night at Red Fox Meadow Campsite

Great camp grounds!! Easy parking/very close to campsites. Nice spacious campsites. Super close to a really nice bike/walking trail. Wish we brought out bikes this time but next time! They had live music when we arrived around afternoon which was super cool and then very respectful and quiet for the evening. Highly recommend!

1 night at Red Fox Meadow Campsite

Love this property, camping area was exactly as described. Host was very communicative.

Weekend Trip to Vernal Heights

We loved camping on Addison's property! Soooo much better than a crowded state park on a big weekend like MDW. He offered to deliver us firewood, and also gave some great hiking and activity suggestions nearby. Loved that he took the time to come over for a quick hello and chat. So calm and peaceful, just what we were looking for!

Weekend Trip to The Mountain Top @Wright's Farm

Camping at Wrights Farm, Ridgeview was an amazing experience for all of us. The view of the ridge at Mohonk preserve made for a really calm and pleasant stay. Neighboring campsites were far apart providing privacy and a unique experience. We looked at other locations at Wrights and agreed the view and secluded was particularly special and unique. Like others mentioned, the biggest issue was the rocky conditions under the grass made it difficult to stake the tent, but we figured it out! Looking forward to coming back soon! Lastly- the donuts…you MUST have the donuts- freshly baked and simply delicious!!

Weekend Trip to The 1772 Lefevre Homestead

Beautiful site, quiet and secluded! We loved our stay here, including seeing the cows and groundhogs!

Weekend Trip to The Mountain Top @Wright's Farm

We stayed at Stonehenge site. This has 3 sites on it - each with own table and a fire pit. We stayed closest to the apple trees on the flat area. It was private enough for us but next time we will opt for more private spot:) There was a porta potty close by and a hose within walking distance (we didn't use it). The spot is gorgeous - amazing sunsets:). We loved having the farmer's market close by and also enjoyed hanging out at the brewery. Close enough for a long weekend getaway. Will be back!

Weekend Trip to Historic Riverside Farm

Very beautiful site, being next to the river was wonderful and I loved the privacy. Very attentive hosts. I would definitely recommend and come back in the future. Great experience

Weekend Trip to Luxury Camping at 'Higher Ground'

We loved our time here! It felt very remote and peaceful even as we drove in. The climb up to the site is real, don't underestimate how steep it is. We did and brought way too much gear! Left about 90% of our unnecessary items in the car and were more than fine with what they provided. This is not pull up car camping, so don't pack like it is. They have everything you need up there, for real! They were wonderful hosts! Our dogs were able to be off leash the whole time and it was easy to teach them both to leave the goats (who are in their pen) alone. The bed is really quite comfy! The lighting was great with the small lamps they leave on the side tables. Very cozy inside the tent! And omg the heater, use it!!! It was amazing on cold and rainy nights. It's nature, there are bugs. Ticks are plentiful this year so do regular tick checks. They do provide you with plenty of bug spray. We are excited to have discovered this gem of a place! The location can't be beat, the accommodations are very well thought out and the hosts were wonderful!

2 nights at The Mountain Top @Wright's Farm

One of our all-time favorite places to camp! We love everything about this farm, from beautiful Mountain views to the brewery with live music on the weekends and peaceful vibe. Can’t go wrong staying here. We’re already checking dates in our schedule to come back.

Weekend Trip to Pegasus Farms LLC

The host was very kind and accommodating, the quiet site is not far from Terryville. We had a great time, thanks!

Weekend Trip to Vernal Heights

Moon In The Pond Farm

5 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents35 acres · Sheffield, MA

Well off the beaten track, it's scenic, private and peaceful. Camping at Moon In The Pond Farm is a bit of heaven. There are separate sites to choose. Around the farm, you have your own secluded spot to enjoy. (Though you may be in a field next to our Scottish Highland cattle!) Two are tent sites: the PondSide and the FieldEdge. There's one site for small/tiny RVs or Campervan. And finally there's the HiddenCabin--a bed a roof and convenience. Each has a firepit with a small grill to cook over the fire. (all firewood provided) Our campsites are in quieter areas of the farm. One overlooks the pond, others are on the edges of different farm fields, one a cabin nearer the farmstead. All require a beautiful, bucolic trek of 150-350 yards from the roadside parking--ensuring the quiet, natural experience. During the day times, you may see or hear farm work. At night it's lusciously dark and serenely quiet. You'll hear owls hoot, frogs croak, crickets chirp, foxes yowl and coyotes howl! In June and July the fields and trees light up like Christmas with fireflies, and you'll see the stars. During the week is the absolute best time--the local hot spots (or cooling down spots!) are much quieter, and all our campsites have reduced weekday rates. If you can, take advantage by adding a Thursday or Sunday night to a weekend stay. We've got an awesome, easy hiking trail on adjacent Nature Conservancy land. It meanders through woodlands, around rock ledges, through wetlands (on a 600' of boardwalk) and ends at a beautiful stream and pond with a gigantic beaver dam. Not far from here are numerous well-marked hiking trails (including the Appalachian Trail (with famous Bash Bish Falls) and several offshoots (Sage's Ravine, Race Brook Falls), Bartholomew's Cobble, Umpacheenee Falls, and others). Also in the neighborhood are opportunities for canoeing, kayaking, swimming, rock climbing, gavel-road and country-road biking, and pretty much any outdoor activity/adventure opportunity. Or... you can just chill and relax, sleep, or read the day away! Love food? This is Farm-to-Table for real! Never so close--the table's AT the farm! Bring your cooking gear and get some of our wicked fresh organic food--veggies, chops, sausages, eggs, bacon, granola, yogurt, etc. Sear yourself up a real treat! Very nearby, as the Berkshires is a cultural mecca, there are also numerous opportunities from many great restaurants to art, dance, music, spas, galleries, antique shops, museums, cafes and much more. It's still amazingly quiet at the farm where the Milky Way is clearly visible.
