2 nights at Tidy Treehouse

Sweet little house with a good setup. Felt great to be inside rather than tenting while visiting the area. Outdoor shower and toilet, more comfortable than boon-docking or car camping. Quiet area.

Weekend Trip to Glamping with the Wild Horses

We had the most amazing weekend with our 7 year old. The hosts were so warm and kind and we loved learning about how to train wild mustangs. We went on a hike with the mustangs and they all have such unique personalities. What a gift this place is for them. We also found it to be a gift! The domes were beautiful- comfortable beds and a small private space to change. The three of us were very comfortable in Serene dream but we will bring our other two children for the bunk beds next time! The bathroom (outhouse) was so nicely decorated you forget about the smell ;) The campfire was fantastic and there was wood ready for us. My husband and son played corn hole and we grilled for dinner. The grounds are fun to explore and all while seeing the beautiful mustangs roam! We will definitely be back.

Weekend Trip to Birch And Pine

Will definitely be returning. Wonderful hosts, beautiful land, nice spots near by. I went by with my little rescue dog Eva - they were wonderful to spend some time with. Thank you

2 nights at Cozy Wooded Nook

My expectations were far exceeded. Kathleen was extremely friendly and professional. Our camping spot was private and absolutely beautiful. We had a wonderful time the site is within 10 minutes to every store or restaurant you would ever want. The drive to downtown Plymouth is very easy and we even made it up to Boston and Salem and saw the sights. 10 out of 10!!

2 nights at Tidy Treehouse

We had a lovely time at Rebecca's tiny home. The hot tub was a treat after a day on the bike trail and the bed was comfy. Great stay!

1 night at Birch And Pine

This is a world-class Hipcamp, one of the nicest I've ever stayed at and I've camped at lots of them! Patricia is a super host, very friendly and accommodating. The campsites are quiet and peaceful, among the quietest I've ever seen. No worries about getting stuck or bottoming out, even in my low riding Honda Fit! I didn't build a fire, but there's a nice setup that looks ready to use. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a nice place to camp!

1 night at Glamping with the Wild Horses

This place is magical. Beautiful, impeccably clean and decorated - even the bathroom was incredibly quaint. McKenzie was welcoming and kind. I wish I could stay for a week. We'll definitely be back.

3 nights at Cozy Wooded Nook

This was an excellent place to camp. It was easy to find and both Kathleen and Tori were very helpful and welcoming. There are lots of different locations to camp here, I had a small RV and setup in a grassy area. Power was provided (for a small few) and the clearing was shaded on all sides so although there was sun, there was also the ability to sit in a cooler area. There's a fire pit, table and chairs with umbrella, hammocks in the trees, an older static teardrop trailer for rent (I think). The location is near to the Plymouth airport so a few times a day you may see a Cessna-style plane fly up over the campsite which is pretty cool, and you can go to the diner at the airport if you want to see things more close up (or take helicopter lessons it seems). Getting to Plymouth is very easy, maybe six or seven minutes down the road. There are bars and restaurants in town, or several smaller takeout or restaurants near the campsite. There were several other people/groups that came and went whilst I was here and at no point did I feel cramped or too close to other campers, everything was well dispersed. The price was very good, temperatures were great (as was the breeze to stop it getting stifling), the hosts were great, would definitely stay here again! First time up this way, will not be my last. Side note: very friendly and kind motorists in the area!

3 nights at SimplePrivateNaturalwEpicFirepit

We camped in our motorhome at KS Joy’s land for three nights. The yard is lovely. Surrounded by woods with singing birds and very private. The yard is very well maintained, and there is an outdoor shower and an outdoor privy. There’s 30 amp pole, which you may use and move about the yard at will. The location is extremely convenient to the Connecticut coast, including Mystic and the historic Seaport. The only possible negative is that the house is off a busy road, and there is some road noise. Overall, a wonderful place to stay..

2 nights at Birch And Pine

The large gravel plot was perfect for us first-timers with a 28’ RV. Electric and water hookup made the experience luxurious. The site is pretty close to their home, but when the RV is parked at an angle it creates privacy, and a lovely view of the surrounding woods and stocked firepit!

Weekend Trip to Cozy Wooded Nook

Great space, fire pit and lots of chairs and hammocks readily available. Would recommend a way to mark the address better from The street as I drove by a couple times and needed to turn around. Overall great place to stay!

Weekend Trip to Cozy Wooded Nook

We loved tent camping on Kathleen's land there is ample space in between all four sites. The fire pits with cooking grates attached made cooking over the fire a breeze. Good directions help us find our site with no issues. We are already booked to go back!

1 night at Glamping with the Wild Horses

We had such a wonderful glamping experience! Mackenzie was a wonderful host. Our kids absolutely loved the horse training demo. It was a highlight of the trip and so special to be a part of it. The hiking trails were peaceful, and the outdoor tub was the perfect way to unwind and soak in the natural beauty around us. It was both fun and relaxing. Really a perfect blend of adventure and serenity. Highly recommend! 🌿🐎✨

Weekend Trip to Tidy Treehouse

The Tidy Treehouse was perfect for my stay. The hosts were very accommodating. The house was clean, had a bed, refrigerator, and a microwave. It was a tiny space, but I was by myself, so it was more than I really needed. The location was perfect. Very quiet under the trees. I would definitely go back.

Weekend Trip to Cape Cod Cranberry Farm

Absolutely stunning spot to camp! Dave was friendly and helpful throughout the stay. This is perfect for a quiet, primal camp. The bugs were not bad, but there were a lot of ticks as it's situated in a field. Close to the beach and to town but felt like you were in the middle of nowhere. Would definitely rent again!

Weekend Trip to The Cape Cod Acre

This spot was perfect for a quiet weekend getaway! I went alone and felt completely safe, the space was clean, & the bed was sooo comfy. I can’t wait to visit again.

Weekend Trip to Glamp Frogmore

What an amazing location! We loved our beautiful and peaceful stay at this glamping site. Everything was so well-though-out, from the hammock to the firepit to the cornhole to the canoe by the pond. My family and I wish we could have stayed longer!

1 night at Milk Thistle Farm

Great little spot to camp, not far from the bike trail! Krystine was a wonderful host, good communicator, and also told me about free firewood that a previous guest had left behind.

2 nights at SimplePrivateNaturalwEpicFirepit

It’s a beautiful place very secluded with great trees. Wonderful evening with huge fire pit. We enjoyed our stay so much.

Weekend Trip to Milk Thistle Farm

Absolutely loved at stay! The site was very well kept, had a 5 gallon jug with a dispenser waiting for us when we arrived. Krystine was even kind enough to lend us her ladder for the weekend while we put up tarps to protect us from the rain. The farm animals were super cute and friendly. When asking for wood she had her husband bring it all the way down to our site where he stacked it and made sure we were all taken care of. The trees offered great shade and the toilet was very close by. I would highly recommend this site to anyone looking to get away and reconnect with nature.
