Enjoy a tranquil weekend at Winimusett Farm, a 28 acre retreat on a flower farm with 4 ponds, many streams and rolling fields. Stay in an off grid cozy cabin in the woods that can accommodate 2 people. Additional tent space available. The cabin includes a queen mattress, wood stove, outdoor fire pit, deck and a private outhouse. Hike up to the cabin, it’s a 5 minute walk from where you park. We provide a gorilla cart for use in hauling your supplies up to the cabin. During dry or frozen conditions guests with four wheel drive may be permitted to drive up to park closer to the cabin.
In addition to our cozy cabin we also offer a stay in the bunk house attached to the barn. This space offers 3 rooms, a wood stove, microwave, 2 queen beds and 2 twin bed, a spacious living room and dining area. The bunk house is on the lower part of the pond, making it more accessible as parking is right at the door.
There are private camp sites for guests who prefer to pitch a tent or park their van or RV. There's a portable toilet on site seasonally for guests staying on the lower half of the farm.
We can accommodated small respectful groups of campers looking for a quiet stay in nature. It's a great spot for local Scout Troops to pitch their tents and explore nature. Message for more information.

Russell, MA · 2 sites · Tents, RVs
The Hallow sits on seven acres in the hill towns of western Massachusetts, tucked away off Route 23 in Russell. The old post road runs through here — originally a Pocumtuc footpath, then the first mail route in the country.
The land has been welcoming people for a long time, and we love to continue that tradition.
Potash Brook flows through the property and connects to the Westfield River. Follow it to discover swimming holes, peaceful dip spots, and The Cauldron — a waterfall with a cliff jump and a natural rock slide. Wander through old-growth forest, mossy stone, wildflowers, ghost pipe, and other natural treasures.
We currently offer one thoughtfully designed campsite, with just a few more to come, each with its own unique character and secluded nook along the brook. Always intimate and quietly communal — never a campground. Gather around the shared fire pit after dark.
This is a place to slow down, move at the pace of the water, sleep beneath truly dark skies, and wake to sun-drenched moss and the gentle sound of the flowing brook.
~
Please note that The Hallow is a private residence. We are a family of four in the main house and a couple resides in the smaller house on the property. Guests are welcome to enjoy the full land, brook, and trail to the waterfall — we simply ask that you be mindful of our home, keep noise down after 10pm, and treat the land with care.
This booking is for personal camping use only. Commercial photography, professional shoots, and content creation sessions are not permitted under a camping reservation. Please inquire separately about our Photography Sessions offering.

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.

Shutesbury, MA · 4 sites · Tents, RVs
Welcome to my homestead. 8 acres of old growth forest tucked way back off an old dirt road.
The Quabbin reservoir is just minutes away, as are hiking trailheads, fishing sites, enduro riding, and mountain bike trails.
From sunrise to sunset you can hear a vast collection of wild birds. In the evening the crickets come out to play, as do the deer, squirrels, frogs, chipmunks, bees, owls, and even a rare Bear sighting!
As you enter the property, current being cleaned up after years of, ummm, storage, you will pass by some old buildings and scrap materials that have been excavated from the property on its way to start a new life elsewhere.
Past all that you get to the good part. A private oasis of forest to do with as you see fit. There are 3 flat tent sites cleared out; each about 300 yards from the road and far from each other. The main site has 2 tents already set up for you; with plenty of space for more.
There are tons of trees available for you hammocks lovers.
Overlanders are welcome as well, but you better have a pretty big rig to get through the rocky pathway. My HMMWV has no issues 😎
It stays much cooler up here than most surrounding areas. However, in spring the mosquitos can be annoying. I certainly suggest bringing some bug spray.
Fires can be made most of the time, and I have fire rings at the sites. If there is a fire ban I will do my best to inform you as it changes daily.
I do not always occupy this property, but if I am there I will teach simple primitive skills to my occupants including fire making, shelter building, axe/knife handling, etc.. upon request.
Feel free to hit me up with any questions.

Welcome to Rosy Goat Farm!
We are a quintessential family farm and homestead — our farmhouse dates to the 1840s. Bill and I bought this 13-acre property in 2012, overgrown with wild roses. The animals did the clearing: goats ate the roses, pigs dug up the roots, chickens raked it clean. Win win!
A Touch of Hardwick History
In 1686, Captain Samuel Ruggles and seven men purchased this land from the Nipmuck people for twenty British pounds. His grandson, Brigadier General Timothy Ruggles, became a notorious Loyalist — driven from Hardwick at dawn by his own brother Benjamin, who warned him: “Cross today and you will never cross again alive.” His daughter Bathsheba became the first woman executed in the newly independent United States, for murdering her husband — told in Murdered by His Wife by Deborah Navas.

A beautiful 235-acre farm overlooking the Swift River Valley.
The farm has historic roots connected to the local communities dating back to 1790.
There are breathtaking views of the valley, where brilliant sunsets can be seen.
There is access to many hiking trails nearby, including East Quabbin Land Trust properties, specifically the Mass Central Rail Trail and Pynchon's Grist Mill Preserve, as well as Trustees of Reservations properties, specifically The Rock House Reservation.
These are the closest to the farm, but the East Quabbin Land Trust also manages additional properties with hiking trails in neighboring towns.
Wildlife is abundant on the trails and throughout the farm.
This farm is protected through the APR program (Agricultural Preservation Restriction), which means the land cannot be developed and must remain in agricultural use in perpetuity.

This spot is extraordinary, spectacular, and magnificent. It far exceeded my expectations, even though the photos are gorgeous. The stream is lovely and the waterfall is amazing! Swimming in the pool below the waterfall is just everything, as is lying in the hammock alongside the stream. Brianna is a generous host, quick to communicate, and kind to offer suggestions. Grab this spot but save some dates for me!

This was hands down our favorite Hipcamp we’ve stayed at so far! The campsite was amazing—the water was literally right next to our site, so we had beautiful views and easy access all day. It felt incredibly private, which made it the perfect place to relax and unwind.
The host was fantastic—friendly, welcoming, and clearly takes great care of the property. Everything was exactly as described, and the whole experience exceeded our expectations.
If you’re looking for a peaceful waterfront campsite with plenty of privacy and a wonderful host, you won’t be disappointed. We can’t wait to come back!

There is not enough good I can say about the visit to the farm. If you are looking for someplace to spend a night or a week. This man will go far beyond what you could expect to make it a great visit. He even took time out of his day to show me the property in his electric cart. well over 400 acres of feed and hay fields with beautiful woods separating them. The host enjoys sharing the view from what he calls the scenic spot in an upper field. You can see both the Quabbin water tower and Wachusett Mtn skylined from hs fields. Deer, turkey, hawks, and his cattle (that include some of the only Texas Longhorns in the state) make this a real treat for those who want to get away from the pavement. He knows so much about the history of the farm it was like a personal journey to the past. Mike, I really want to thanks you personally for the hospitality and experience, Not to mention the grass fed lamb from your neighbor... I'd also like to mention that if you are looking for a dinner, you should make reservations at the Salem, Cross Inn for the common room dinner. It is the oldest continuous running one in the country. It is worth the trip that direction alone and we have gone to the area for that from the Metro west boston area to bring family from out of town a few times. The Farm is going to be the last stop of EVERY trip we take out west when we are on the way back. ... Be aware that the fields can funnel the wind so it's nice and cool but protect your awning.

The property was very well maintained and the site was delightful. There was a nice spot for a tent by the stream but I was in and Roof top tent and had unlimited options for set up.
The fire pit was nicely tucked away and a hammock hust past that was a great place to relax with a coffee and the sound of the small falls.
The host was very kind and welcoming and attentive to detail. Highly recommend

Slept really well. Very quiet. Very rustic. We had no problem because we brought our own water, etc. Jared was a great host. Interesting guy with a gorgeous piece of property and a ton of work to do to realize his vision. He has the know how and energy to do it! He was very helpful and resourceful. We definitely want to go back again and see the evolution of this super-cool property.

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.
