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!

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 Bare Camping

this campsite felt like a hidden oasis in their backyard! there was enough privacy where we felt like we were alone and the sound of the stream at night put us right to sleep.

Weekend Trip to Hucklebuck Railway Campsites

Well equipped and comfortable site. Lots of old logging trials and right along the river for fishing and swimming. It was too cold to swim in May but July or August would be great to wade in the river. The site is secluded so there’s plenty of privacy.

Paula’s camping ground was great! Paula and her husband provided us with everything we needed at a moment’s notice and made sure we were adequately equipped. Top-notch care and would revisit, thank you so much Paula.

3 nights at Hunterbrook Mountain

The stream was beautiful and the surroundings serene! Steve and Bill, the hosts, were very helpful with everything.

Weekend Trip to Bare Camping

It was a pretty cute little spot, the creek was probably the best part, we loved sitting beside it. The little shelter made the rain even better, we stayed inside the tent and listened to the rain while My husband played guitar

Really nice spot right next to a little creek. Great fire pit and sufficient space. Would highly recommend and would love to come back

Weekend Trip to Moon In The Pond Farm

Very nice property, each site is very private. Be ready to walk your things to the site. Dom has wheelbarrows to help move things which is great. Great experience, the firewood is a nice big bundle. We loved the animals on the farm too. No tables at the sites but there are some nice stumps you can easily use as a table. Thanks Dom

Dominic is a great host and the camp site was perfect. I’d happily go back again.

Property was bought just as another project. However, after realizing the beautiful surroundings it only made sense to share it with others.

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.
