A great spot to come and camp high up on a hill. Pitch a tent and enjoy the solitude of camping in the middle of a hay field, under a huge oak tree. In the middle of farm country. From time to time you may smell a little cow smell or hear/see a tractor drive past.  However, there is nothing greater than the smell of fresh cut hay in the summer breeze. Deer graze in the fields surrounding the house.

My countryside farm is surrounded by lush fields and woodlands, teeming with wildlife. It features streams and ponds where you can cool off, and hiking trails to explore. Keep an eye out in the upper field for deer, turkeys, and perhaps even a bear or two! As a working farm, It’s home to chickens, ducks, turkeys, rabbits, and a large pot-belly pig. Our friendly beagles and bird dogs add to the rural charm. You can also engage in a variety of activities such as kayaking and biking. If fishing is your hobby, I offer a fully stocked pond as an additional option. Alternatively, Marsh Pond on State land is available for fishing. 3 Full hook up RV sites available and multiple tent sites.

This campsite was the perfect getaway — private, peaceful, and beautifully scenic. Appreciated how secluded it felt, surrounded by trees and nature sounds with no distractions. The views were stunning, and it was easy to relax and unwind. Highly recommend for anyone seeking solitude and a truly restorative outdoor escape.

We really enjoyed our stay. Frank was a great host. Provided awesome food and fishing tips for his pond filled with bass, crappie, catfish, and trout. We had full hook ups with a gorgeous view. We were so lucky with amazing weather and the morning sunrise with nice cup of coffee was so relaxing. Frank had a great fire going that was relaxing. Very peaceful, and quiet place to visit. Look forward to staying again.

Weekend Trip to Historic Riverside Farm
I will come back again and again. This was the most relaxing trip I’ve had. There are not many sites to offer private and peaceful camping. We were able to watch blue herons, egrets and geese fly in, in the morning and land on the river. We were able to enjoy yoga and meditation right by the river. We had two partridges hang out at our site for two days that just wandered around and were of no nuisance. Sitting in the swing at the top of the hill we had deer wandering around us. Despite getting there after dark, the instructions to get to our site were easy and after settling in, the owner came down and greeted us with our eggs. Everything is well taken care of. We feel like we’ve found a hidden gem.

We had such a special weekend camping on Robert's land. Pictures don't do it justice. It is jaw dropping beautiful and very private. Robert is the best hip camp host we've ever had and we've used hip camp for years. He is reasonable, flexible, and very considerate. The outhouse is extremely clean, and he provides firewood for purchase, a fire pit, wash stand for dishes, and a wood countertop perfect for your camp grill to sit on. The location is primo with lots of cute little towns around and hiking trails right off his property. We are definitely making an annual trip here.

Weekend Trip to Historic Riverside Farm
We loved the campsite. It was at the edge of a very nice meadow right next to a beautiful stretch of the river. Other campsites were spaced apart nicely for privacy and the port o potty was clean. We got in late our first night and we were able to do some star gazing. I managed to catch a small fish in the river the next day. Unfortunately, when we arrived the firewood we purchased was not there. When we messaged Melissa saying our firewood was not there, we got the impression that she didn't believe us. She asked around the other campsites to see if anyone took the wood and told us that no one took it. Whatever the case, we had no wood at our site. She did eventually bring us the firewood after some confusing back-and-forth. This put a damper on an otherwise great trip.

The space is very well maintained and is beautiful. The space is clearly marked and directions are accurate. We stayed at site 5, a short walk to the river (less than a minute from the site down a gentle slope). For end of summer, it was perfect and open. For hotter months, this is just something to consider (see below regarding other sites). The tent platform had tie off points and there is a food prep area, a picnic table and a folded grill grate for cooking. We roamed the vast space and saw sites 1, 2, and 3, which are all closer to the water and also look like excellent spots with shade for summer, also well maintained. There's a bench swing at the top of the hill overlooking 1, 2, and 3 and a bench on another hill. I feel like the hosts must have done Hipcamp before and decided they were going to make their place exceptional for their guests, which they definitely did for us. Road noise was minimal and distant. Geese, ducks and heron on the river, as well as deer.

I loved camping at this site! It was private and serene, being right on the river was fantastic. Melissa was a great host and brought us additional firewood several times throughout the trip. Our toddler aged son loved walking around the paths and looking at plants and bugs. I wouldn't hesitate to go back.
