Our property is 85 very private acres with an open field surrounded by forest and open wooded area with many trails. The forest is very diverse including some old growth maples and birches, as well as hemlock and pine trees. The campsites are at the edge of the field set back into the woods. I have recently added sand and gravel to improve drainage since the heavy rain we have had last year. We have a portable composting toilet outhouse and a hot outdoor shower. Feel free to explore all of the trails on foot or mountain bike. You may see some turkeys or deer out there. There is a small pond with lots of frogs and salamanders near the camping area, and a few seasonal streams on the property. You can hike a one mile loop on our newest trail. It is medium difficulty because of the hillside it is built on so hiking boots are recommended unless you are on a mountain bike. Rock walls built in the mid 1800s circle the property almost entirely so the borders are easy to see. The Deerfield river is a few miles away where you can fish for trout or go for a swim or kayak. The Connecticut river and the green river are about 15 minutes away as well. We have tubes, a canoe, and a kayak that are available to rent for some floating! Historic Deerfield village and Yankee Candle store and factory are about 10 minutes away. We are about 20 minutes from Northampton and Amherst.

3. Ballou Mountain Base Camp

41mi from Belchertown · 1 site · Tent, RV

Experience Lower Ballou Mountain at the Base Camp Located in West Halifax, a small Southern Vermont town just north of the Massachusetts border, Base Camp sits along the Vermont Association of Snow Travelers (VAST) trail, tucked into the side of Ballou Mountain—one of many breathtaking peaks in the Green Mountains. The views here never fail to leave visitors enamored. Set up for primitive camping, Base Camp is a clean slate for anyone seeking the peace and quiet of the Vermont woods. The site is not equipped for RV hookups or indoor amenities. But what it lacks in facilities, it more than makes up for with direct access to incredible local hiking and easy on/off access to the VAST trail, which leads to the summit of our beloved Ballou Mountain. Bring your mountain bikes or ATVs and get exploring! Adventure at Base Camp is rewarding year-round. In the warmer months, pack your swimming gear for a dip at nearby South Pond—a perfect spot for kayaking as well. Don’t forget to stock up on supplies in Greenfield, MA (about 30 minutes away), or from one of the many local farm stands before heading off the grid. (Technically off the grid—but yes, there’s cell service here for those who can’t go fully unplugged!) As kids, we both spent countless hours exploring the woods, soaking up everything nature had to offer. Now, as adults and partners, we’re grateful to share that same love of the outdoors with others. With the support of our wonderful Vermont neighbors—who take pride in doing things the right way—we’ve built a retreat that embodies serenity. Perched on Ballou Mountain, Base Camp is more than just a campsite—it’s an invitation. Come and see for yourself.

Weekend Trip to Hickory Ridge

Directions to the property were clear. The site was clean, flat, private, and peaceful. Although we didn’t use the firepit, everything was there. The outdoor shower had perfect temperature and pressure. Willis was friendly, met us upon arrival, and made sure we had everything we needed.

We had a really nice and relaxing stay at this camp. The compost bathroom was clean, well-stocked, and well-maintained, which made the experience even better. The atmosphere was peaceful and everything was just as described. We had a great time and hope to come back next year!

Everything was excellent and the spot was perfect for a quiet night of camping. I would definitely return to this site again if we go to another concert at Tree House.

Our family had a wonderful time setting up a “village” (3 tents) on this property. We made the trip from New York City specifically because Willis promised unlimited firewood and we sure took advantage! He was super kind and accommodating. If you’re looking for the feeling of deep- woods camping, this isn’t it; you definitely have the feeling of being on someone’s property, especially because you’re using their awesome hot outdoor shower. Highly recommend for families and folks looking for a city escape! Thanks, Willis!

It was peaceful, and felt very private. We traveled to see a show at Treehouse Brewery and enjoyed being so close! There are lots of hiking trails nearby, including a trail right on the property. The site was big enough for our tent and an additional EZ up.

I have to say it was lovely to camp here. Willis has beautiful land! Although campgrounds are nice, his place is private and you're alone surrounded by woods yet not deep in for tough accessibility. There's easy access in and out. You're right in there hearing the birds! Mornings are especially quiet, which is very nice. The fire pit is great as well and when we were there the campsite was clean. It is minutes away from the Tree House Brewing Company in Deerfield where we went for two nights of great music at a nice small venue. My family, friends, and I would definitely go again.

Great property! The main camping area is nestled away in the forest with a picnic table and firepit, and room for a tent and/or a camper van and a couple hammocks. There’s also a whimsical playhouse sized for little people. The full property has multiple other sites for tents/campers, plus a field that’s great for starwatching. The outdoor shower was great. Compost toilet is a compost toilet, what else can you say, haha. The main hose is across the field, visible but not intrusive. We took a couple walks on the trails behind the site. Very pleasant forest with enough change in elevation to make it interesting but not too challenging. We didn’t get all the way to the river. I suggest getting specific directions if that’s what you want. Willis is a great host. Responsive and friendly.

We loved staying at Willis’s spot and would happily come back again. It was exactly as described. We enjoyed the privacy, outdoor shower, and close proximity to Treehouse! Willis was accommodating and provided us with tubes we rented from him and gave helpful advice on where to enter/exit the river.

We had an amazing camping experience here! Willis was super welcoming and gave us some great recs for bike paths in the area. The shaded area was perfect, and the walking trails on the property were a lovely bonus. We felt safe and private the whole time. One tip: bring a thermacell! It was a total lifesaver when it came to bugs, they're inevitable outdoors, but it made a huge difference. We also appreciated the large sink for washing dishes. Overall, we'd definitely recommend this spot!

Excellent services provided by host Willis. He was waiting for us and escorted us to the campsite. Everything was better than expected such as the prepared wood fir the fire pit and the picnic table with views of the forest. The nearby compost latrine was easy to get to and cleanest we've ever seen. Highly recommend and we will be going back soon.
