Three Years of Campfires, Stories, and Friendships 🔥⛺
As I look back on the past three years since opening the campground, I’m filled with gratitude. What started as a dream has turned into something so much more thanks to each and every one of you who has stayed here, shared your stories, and brought your energy to this little piece of the outdoors.
I’ve had the joy of meeting people from all walks of life travelers passing through, families on vacation, solo adventurers chasing peace, and seasoned RVers with tales from the road. Whether you’re here for one night or one season, getting to know where you’re from, where you’re going, and the stories in between has been the most rewarding part of running this campground.
It’s not just about providing a place to park or pitch a tent it’s about building a community, even if it’s just for a weekend. The laughs around the fire, the kindness between strangers, and the shared love of the outdoors have made this journey incredibly special.
Thank you for being part of it. Here’s to many more years of connection, conversation, and campfire memories. 🌲
Sincerely, Ronald Markeveys

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!!!

Up, down. Up, down. Up, down…the rolling hills of Black Rock State Park would lull you to sleep in a heartbeat. That is, if your legs weren’t pumping and sweat wasn’t trickling down your face. With each crest of a wooded hilltop, the hiking gets even better, and more remote, too.Scenic views and cool waters put Black Rock high on the traveler’s list when the weekend rolls around. The western highlands of Connecticut don’t get much better than this. Ask any local—the Mattatuck Trail from the Grey section of Waterbury to the Wigwam Reservoir in Morris is one hike you don’t want to miss. At the very least, it’s a good place to start.

Summers get hot in the northeast. And muggy. We’re sweating just thinking about it. When it’s mid-July and Connecticut is threatening to burst into flames, Kettletown State Park is where people go to cool off.The refreshing waters of the Housatonic River and Lake Zoar are guaranteed to lower your body temperature and restore your energy levels. The rest of the park that isn’t water is heavily wooded, providing lots of welcome shade. Shoot, you could even go for a hike and not worry about overheating. It’s the perfect summer getaway from summer, if that makes sense. Don’t think about it too much, just go.

Relax and enjoy all that our farm has to offer. You can enjoy nature and privacy or opt for a more interactive experience and join our morning or evening farm tour where you can interact with goats, sheep, mini-horses, pigs, chickens, ducks, and more.
We are a small family farm where we raise animals and grow flowers/food. Our family home was built in 1739 and is situated near the street entrance.
As you enter the property, you will see two cottages, the oldest corn crib in the county, and a beautifully restored 1800s barn. There is a vintage-style camper to the left of the barn, located in an area where you can have privacy overlooking the pastures.
We live on the property and can assist guests with anything that they might need.
Guests are welcome to stroll around the property and enjoy all it has to offer. We have a farm store and education center opening summer of 2025! Check our website to see classes and offerings that you might take advantage of during your stay.
Please note, that we ask that guests do not enter the barn or fenced pasture without one of the farm owners (Molly & Diego). Our animals are accustomed to people, but livestock is unpredictable, especially to people that they do not know. There is plenty of area outside of the pasture that guests can enjoy. If you opt for a farm tour we promise that you will have plenty of interaction with our many animals.

Tunxis State Forest

State forest 33mi from Waterbury · 3 sites
Located in northern Connecticut, right up there by Massachusetts, Tunxis State Forest is wild and remote. The trees here are some of the oldest around, since it was already wooded when it became owned by the state in 1923. Most other forests were only just growing into what they are now from abandoned farms.
You never know what you might see in Tunxis State Forest, although we can give you some ideas. If you go for a hike through these old trees, you might spy a moose munching on foliage, or a black bear bumbling about. If that hike happens to be the Falls Brook trail, then you will certainly see a beautiful waterfall.

Overlooking the Connecticut River, River Highlands State Park is tucked into what is becoming a rapidly growing suburban area. The park is defined by mixed woodlands (oak, beech and white pine trees) and wetlands over a hilly topography, but the real superstar is the view from the bluffs and a unique geological wonder called a blowhole where you can hear the wind whistle past the bluffs. Some very silly colonists even believed the sound was an act of the devil!Visitors to the park today can plan on some picturesque hiking over wooden bridges and streams. Camping is also an option for those traveling on the river.

Welcome to our Hudson Valley Farm with your choice of a designated campsite nestled beside a serene pond or our Sky Meadow Fire Ring site. This isn’t wilderness camping, but rather a unique opportunity to experience a beautiful farm experience while enjoying the outdoors. You’ll have a reserved camp spot with easy access to the meadows perfect for leisurely walks, birdwatching and simply taking in the fresh country air and sounds. On cloudless nights, dark skies provide a stunning stargazing experience. Or book a stay during a full moon to experience an amazing evening in our own magical valley within the Hudson Valley.
As an active seasonal organic farm, you may see and hear livestock, 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.
All campers must be registered on the Hipcamp app prior to arrival including children of any age. We limit the number of campers and cars at each site both for ecological and practical (septic system) reasons.
We are located adjacent to the Mid-County Rod and Gun Club, an 800 acre property which has outdoor sport shooting on occasion that can be heard on our property. We live in a rural area and cannot guarantee that you won’t hear similar or other noise like ATVs, machinery from properties nearby, roosters, peacocks, and wildlife - this is country life!
Visiting over the 4th of July? It’s likely you’ll see fireworks nearby from a 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, walk the meadows with your morning cup of coffee or chill with our chickens :)

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.

Beautiful lake side get away, with just the necessities. Quentin was extremely courteous and respectful and just lovely! The treehouse was a great experience and an awesome site to wake up to the lake and the birds. The water in the lake was so clean and pure and beautiful. It was perfect for swimming and paddle boarding. Didn’t want to leave. It is as expected camping with an upgrade which we loved.

We really enjoyed our stay at Hartwoods. The site is well-marked at the end of a residential road; we felt safe having neighbors nearby, and we also had privacy. There is a gun range in close proximity down the road, but there weren't many cars driving by at all, and it was far enough away to not cause a noise issue. The site has water and electric hook-ups, and it appears as though there will be sewer hook-up in the future. While in Guilford, we visited Lavender Pond Farm which has a train that takes you around the property, Bishop's Orchard which had an awesome set up for kids (mini-excavators, bubbles, pedal bikes and more), and Gillette Castle which has trails and beautiful scenery (you can also take a tour). It was definitely a great hub for our stay. The site is level and has gravel, there were only a handful of mosquitos, and overall it was very quiet and safe. We parked our camper near the fire pit which allowed us more room to spread out, but it did have full sun during the day which got hot. It wasn't a big deal for us since we were out and about, but if you are looking to have more shade during the day, I'd recommend parking your camper / pitching your tent on the more narrow part when you pull in. We are definitely planning to visit Hartwoods again in the future!

Weekend Trip to Quentins Treehouse
I couldn't imagine a more idyllic scene. A vine-covered, well built little shack on a clean, pristine lake shore. My fiance loves fishing, so the pier was perfect. The fire pit in front of the dwelling is great for cooking. And the hanging bed frame was whimsical and comfortable. The slight rocking was soothing. We were caught in a storm during our stay, so we stayed inside with the canvas curtains pulled shut. We kept dry throughout. The sound of the rain on the plastic roof, and the lapping of the water made for relaxing background noise and lulled me to sleep. The land is well groomed in a nice area, 15 mins from the quaint beauty of Great Barrington. The host was attentive and communicative through the hipcamp app, but let us have total space and privacy. I really needed to relax and decompress, and I can't imagine a better way to do it. It's mid July, so the lake was warm enough for a swim. The lake is so clear! I highly recommend staying here.
