Stephentown, NY · 346 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
For July 4th weekend, and Labor Day weekend drive-up sites are a 2 night minimum. In the off season starting after Thanksgiving through April, there is no water or toilet or shower facilities available. The solar shower and water lines may be shut off any time in October if freezing conditions prevail. Please check with us.
Our 75 acres is a wonderful, diverse mix of habitat, harmoniously integrated with our small farm. This land was the homestead of the very first non native settler of the area, John Wiley, in 1787. Before that, it was the land of the Mahican native Americans. They named it "valley of the butternut trees", or Wyomanock.
The Wyomanock Creek is the backbone of this little valley. Beaver have dammed the creek at several points to create ponds and other wetland features that support a diversity of wildlife including otter, moose and a myriad of birds, from osprey to herons. This sanctuary is host to many uncommon native plants and plant communities. We would love to share it with you!
Your host, Thom, invites you to property to explore 75 acres of meadows, woods and water. Choose one of several sites either in the woods or open areas. You are also free to use our outdoor solar shower or take a dip in the cold pond or artesian spring fed pool.
Our location is convenient to the Berkshire Mountains, state parks, hiking and other attractions, including Ramble Wild tree to tree adventures and Jiminy Peak. There are a few miles of rail trail access just down the road.

30 acres of cozy, south-facing slope nestled in the Berkshire foothills of Western MA. Right along the Westfield River, glorious views of rolling hills and wide open sky.
This mid-century horse farm is being transitioned into a perennial plant nursery with a focus on delicious fruits, pollinator flowers and medicinal herbs. Some seasons, we raise Thanksgiving turkeys as well, but are taking a few years off from cows and sheep as we work on the pasture.

About the Space
Welcome to our lakeside treehouse retreat on the shores of historic Lake Garfield—named after President Garfield, who once summered here. This unique stay is tucked away in the beautiful Berkshires at 1,200 feet elevation, making for cool, crisp nights and star-filled skies. Originally the boatshed for the President’s summer home, the treehouse was built 15 years ago as a cozy sleepout perfect for stargazing and unwinding in nature.
The Treehouse
Perched in the trees and draped in wisteria, the treehouse features a clear corrugated roof, full flyscreening, and canvas blinds—keeping it breezy and bug-free. There’s a comfy hanging double bed with a high-quality mattress. Please note: guests need to bring their own sheets, bedding, and pillows.
Amenities
Portable camp toilet located beneath the treehouse
Weber BBQ
Wifi access
Floating jetty & dock
Two paddleboards for guests to enjoy
Crystal-clear lake water (great for swimming, fishing, and boating)
Things to Do
We’re just a 15-minute drive from Great Barrington or Lee—ideal for dining, shopping, or exploring local culture. Incredible hiking trails are scattered throughout the surrounding area.
Good to Know
Please respect the natural surroundings—no damaging trees or leaving litter. Firewood bundles are available at nearby gas stations or directly from me.
I look forward to welcoming you to this peaceful, magical space in the Berkshires.

Shelburne Falls, MA · 1 site
You’ll feel like you’re in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by over 100 acres of open land, but you're only 2.3 miles from the charming town of Shelburne Falls.
The cabin itself is a short walk from our house along path ... down a line of maples and under a garden arch. Solar lights, a cozy woodstove, a comfortable double bed with clean sheets, and a writing table make this the perfect spot for writing your magnum opus. Sit by the campfire, have wine and cheese on the picnic table, , wander along garden paths filled with native plants, relax with a book, or just enjoy the view. You'll see the hills and some great sky, especially on a clear night.
The famous Bridge of Flowers and the amazing glacial potholes are just down the road. Adventurous? Head out and explore our lively hilltown community-- rafting, tubing (we have two tubes you can borrow), canoeing, or biking (scenic roads or trails). You can also cool off at one of the many crystal-clear local swimming holes or enjoy a delicious dinner in town.

Secluded camping area located in the Berkshires, surrounded by privately owned conserved land. Located minutes from the Deerfield River, Zoar Outdoor Adventures, and Berkshire East, this camping location is right off the road, but nestled behind trees and hedges for maximum privacy, while still providing gorgeous views of the valley and pasture where our neighbor's cows graze. Plenty of shade in the summer (with sun exposure between about 11am and 2pm), and fantastic leaf peeping in the fall. Amenities include a social fire pit, a cooking station with tiers, charcoal grill, folding table, firewood (when available), a restroom area, and 3 platforms to elevate your tent. There is ample room for parking (can accommodate 3 - 5 cars easily).

Weekend Trip to The Cabin
Beautiful place to stay with great views! Julie was a friendly and hospitable host. We enjoyed the convenient location close to Shelburne Falls and Mt. Sugarloaf, as well as listening to the many birds on the property in the morning and watching the many fireflies at night.

Very joy-filled place! We saw the most fireflies we've ever seen and got to sleep through a thunderstorm in the comfort of the cabin. Already looking for a reason to come back.

Our stay at this Hipcamp site in Massachusetts was absolutely wonderful. Upon arrival, the address and mailbox were clearly marked, making the property easy to find. The entrance driveway is a little bumpy, but completely manageable for a travel trailer.As you drive in, you're welcomed by a large open field filled with beautiful flowers, with thick brush lining one side, creating a peaceful and private atmosphere. The road gently curves around to the campsite, where you'll find a picnic table, a fire pit, and clean, seasoned firewood ready for burning.The property is exceptionally well-maintained, clean, and very private. Occasionally, you can hear cars passing in the distance, but only because the beautiful breeze carries the sound. Rather than being disruptive, it simply reminds you that you're tucked away in your own peaceful retreat.Our dogs wore their Halo GPS collars during our stay, and they worked perfectly. Despite how secluded and private the campsite feels, we also felt completely safe and comfortable throughout our visit.One of the most surprising aspects of this location is it's convenience. You're just minutes from shopping and amenities, including Walmart, Dollar Tree, Dollar General, Dunkin', and Starbucks, yet once you're back at the campsite, you would never know they were nearby.The fresh breeze and the unforgettable scent of the flowers made our stay even more special.

This cozy cabin is the absolute perfect nature retreat. Me and my wife stayed during some rain and listening to it fall through the leaves with the wood fire crackling away was soul nourishing.
Getting to the location was very easy, although it did require a bit of steep hiking to get there. My only complaint was that I only booked one night! Our dogs loved it too. The loft is a bit tight but cozy and comfortable. We loved our time here and we're looking forward to our next visit!

I first would like to start with the Amazing Host Misty. She was an Absolute Gem to work with. From the moment we booked the site she was very communicative throughout the process making sure to see what type of vehicle we had so she could direct us to the proper site that would work best for us. She notified me that depending on what time I came that she might not be there but if I had any questions or concerns to not hesitate to call her. Upon arrival I was a little confused on which way to get to site so. I called her and she answered immediately and directed me on the phone as if she was right there. She’s knows her property like the back of her hand. We got our selves situated and began enjoying the Absolute Amazing Piece Of Land Right Away. Her property is Truly Breathtaking and So Peaceful. Our first night we had the property to ourselves and was greeted with the most Beautiful Rainbow 🌈 to cap of the night. The following day Misty made it a point to come briefly introduce herself and to make sure we had everything we needed. We talked with her about her amazing property and told us the back story about it and what a Wonderful Story. Misty is Truly a Magical Soul and it’s No Wonder Her and Eric (Groundskeeper) have such a Special Place. We can’t Thank Her enough for the Opportunity to Experience a Small Slice of Her Magical Paradise. Two other groups of campers came the 2nd day and were no problem at all. They were all very quiet and respectful. Can’t wait 2 come back

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.
