West Chesterfield, MA · 8 sites · Tents, Lodging
We're named one of the best Hipcamps to visit in 2024 and 2023! Over 40 acres of solitude tucked in the hilltowns of the western Massachusetts Berkshires -- boasting warm sunrises over the distant hills, lush forest for hiking and meandering river frontage on Bronson Brook and walking distance to the Westfield River to wade and soak in the cool mountain water or fish for native trout! The cabin and camping sites are located in beautiful trails that were created around the main home -- an architect designed masterpiece boasting a wonderful asian influence yet handcrafted from the very timberstock off the land on which it sits lending a refined rustic twist. 25 Min to Northampton and 10 min to the Berkshires! You can hike or bike to the best swimming holes around and camp within our beautiful forested hills of hemlock, birch, maple, and wildflower meadow. If you're into kayaking/canoeing/tubing/hiking/fishing, then this is the perfect space for you. Come escape and breathe in our cool clean mountain air :)

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.

Come stay in a real bed in a luxurious bell tent on our 8-acre organic herb farm. The tent is secluded but close to the blooming herb fields, with a dreamy view of the nearby hills. A spacious composting toilet and potable water from a spigot are charming, rustic, and perfect for folks who want to camp but with some amenities. Nearby swimming holes, lakes, farm stands, and hiking opportunities abound. A beautiful wooded trail runs from our property to the neighboring Edge Hill Conservation Area. We have a smokeless fire pit and chairs for you to kick back, roast marshmallows, and relax. Firewood, organic bedding, farm tours, and PYO herbs are all available add-ons while you stay.

1 to 2 cleared acres of 42 acres. Small farm, overgrown grass, and off grid living. Close to the Appalachian trail in the Berkshires of Massachusetts.
With 1/3 of the land protected species land, and wetland, I am determined to protect that land.
There are 12 chickens on the farm, a vegetable garden, 2 dogs, and 3 indoor cats. Sometimes you'll see turtles.

Weekend Trip to Atland Artist Residency
I have to admit I went in with high expectations. Those expectations were shattered almost immediately. The spot the tent is in provides the best view of the sunrise on the property. If there is an award for the nicest privy in all of campdom it's THIS PRIVY! Not a thing out of place. Not a detail overlooked. The outdoor shower was a revelation combining everything great the local flora and fauna has to provide. This is a special place run by very special folks.
We'll be back.

Weekend Trip to Glamping on an Herb Farm
Our stay in the belltent at Foxtrot Farm was beyond dreamy - incredible views and a cozy stay on an abundant herb farm. We opted in for the farm tour and I gleaned valuable information to help me dream into my future herb farm. Awoke to a great blue heron flying up over the field and over our tent. It was a lovely time !

Weekend Trip to Glamping on an Herb Farm
A beautiful view and land that is lovingly tended by Abby. The setup was simple and perfect for some time to disconnect, with beautiful places to hike nearby. At night the coyotes howled and the barred owls hooted. In the day, butterflies danced. Abby was a gracious and kind host and the firepit was a bonus to everything else. Highly recommend and would stay there again.

Weekend Trip to Glamping on an Herb Farm
This is my magical haven atop a hill! I absolutely adore the farm and have been in love with the charms, offerings and enchantments the land there offers. The farm is meticulously tended to by Abby and Kit who are nothing short of glorious humans and hosts. I have long dreamt to witness the night sky while atop the hill and the chance finally presented itself. My partner and I set campfire and laid in the grass to watch the stars, Milky Way and shooting stars. In the morning I woke up to the glow of dew and spent hours in adoration of all the plants growing on the field. The tent is spacious and cozy and we loved our night veiled in cricket and frog orchestra sounds.

Camping at the herb farm was beyond lovely. The tent at the top of the hill was both secluded and provided an incredible view. Abby was thoughtful and responsive, and brought us extra blankets because the night was colder than expected. Walking through the herb farm was gorgeous and we saw an owl at sunset! Can’t wait to come back to this magical spot.

Such a nice spot, I was amazed by everything around the camp also the camp itself, the owner is very kind answer very fast so any question you can just send a message straight to her, awesome hot outdoor shower and the tent is in a awesome spot you have a good view of the main house but you can keep your privacy, have some stores around or in cities nearby to get some food and there is swimming spots everywhere around, my favorite was the Ashfield lake. Such a pleasure to stay on this blessed camp!

I had the absolute most amazing magical time camping at Abby‘s herb farm. The surroundings and view were even more beautiful than I had imagined! Almost no human or machine noises, I would say it was really quiet but the insects and the birds were loud in the most wonderful way! The tent was adorable and very comfortable to stay in, we love the provided fire pit. Abby was very helpful and welcoming, her directions were very clear, and we will definitely be returning again in the future!

Beautiful property. Quiet and peaceful. We stayed two nights in the tent, which was comfortable and all set up for us with clean bedding and flashlights. We enjoyed the hot outdoor shower, the very cold and drinkable water at the sink area. The best part (since we stayed during a heatwave) was the river at the end of their driveway which was so cool and peaceful. We enjoyed visiting Williamsburg and Northampton, which were not far. We loved staying here and love supporting their space for artists.

Where to go
Cape Cod
Beaches along Cape Cod come in all sizes and styles, from the romantic to the family-friendly. Family camping thrives in the area. Drive your RV to Scusset Beach State Reservation on the southwest edge of Cape Cod Bay. If glamping is more your speed, head to Falmouth, Martha's Vineyard, or Nantucket for a getaway along the Atlantic Ocean.
Plymouth
Stop in Wompatuck State Park en route to the Pilgrim Memorial State Park. The latter is a must-stop for United States history enthusiasts, while campsites in Myles Standish State Forest offer everything. Tent and RV campgrounds come with access to hiking trails, as well as opportunities to ride horses, bike, and sail. In the snowy months, you can even snowmobile or cross-country ski.
Salisbury Beach State Reservation
North of Boston, Salisbury Beach State Reservation sits between the Atlantic Ocean and the Merrimack River. RV parks come with electric and water hookups, while the gorgeous purple sand beaches of Plum Island are just a stone’s throw away.
Inland Massachusetts
The coast gets all the credit, but Massachusetts is more than its beaches. Inland, you’ll find the Quabbin Reservoir, which boasts beautiful views and trails. Head further west, and you’ll encounter Peru State Forest or Granville State Forest, where surrounding campsites are a hiker’s dream.
When to go
When it comes to New England camping, it’s a safe bet to seek out the summer weather. However, popular places like Cape Cod and Martha’s Vineyard are often crowded in the summertime. So if you prefer seclusion to the sun, book your rental in the shoulder-seasons. You may not be able to swim, but there’s never a bad time of the year to gaze at the ocean.
