We had the absolute best weekend fishing trip at Thomas Land! It’s such a beautiful, calm, and relaxing spot that has everything you need for a comfortable camping stay. We caught a ton of fish and genuinely enjoyed every minute of our time there.
Thomas is so welcoming and friendly. He met us right at the entrance and walked us through everything we needed to know. A special thank you to his farm caretaker, Mr. Tucker, who was incredible. He helped us catch fish and even gave my son some wonderful, free fishing lessons.
If you're looking for a peaceful getaway for camping and fishing, this is definitely the place to go. We will definitely plan again soon.

You can really tell when hosts have put lots of love and attention to detail in a property. The airstream was comfortable and fully stocked with essentials as well as fun touches like books and games. We could hang out on the deck, with its fans and string lights, for hours... it was a quick visit, but it was the perfect place to celebrate our son's 5th birthday morning. I loved the airstream's design elements, the outdoor shower, fire pit, the butterfly bushes, the nearby trail. Thank you so much, David + Nicole.

We have been to Deerfield a few times now and we have always enjoyed our stay. Thomas is an excellent host and it is always nice to chat with him while we are there. The location cannot be beat, giant pond, great screened in game area/hangout area to cook in, eat in or just enjoy hanging out together. There is a outside bathroom which is great to have access to along with an outdoor shower. You have all the hookups for rving as well. You are in a beautiful area with open areas to spread out, let the kids run around, let your pets to stretch their legs. You are in the peaceful countryside where you can see all the stars put in a spectacular show, if there are no clouds. You will never want to leave!
