Perfect spot! Feels like wilderness but there are actually houses all around. Plenty of hiking too. Read the other reviews on the driveway- it’s not that bad! Arriving by daylight advised.

Great place! Beautiful spot. There are a couple of spots available, one next to the house and one further down the road on a small pull-off. We stayed by the house and it was great.

The camp spot at Ricks place was peaceful and quiet. We had it all to ourselves and enjoyed having electric and water hookups in a private setting.

Lovely gracious host, peaceful setting, delightful farm animals, and a beautiful view of the rolling Connecticut countryside. It was just the getaway I needed.

We had a great stay in Rick’s land. It was an incredibly easy pull in spot surrounded by privacy. It was a perfect stopping point on our way to Maine. Thank you for the restful sleep and beautiful scenery. Will stay again.

This spot is just what I needed! Quiet and private. And the level gravel spot was appreciated with all the rain. And the 30amp shore power was a great! Thanks Rick!

We enjoyed our stay here! It was very brief and unfortunately rainy when we stayed but a good experience. Amy was responsive and the directions to get there and where to park were clear. Very peaceful place. I hope we can explore the property next time we are up that way!

This place was perfect for our overnight pass through stay. It has water and electric hookups and a nice fire pit. No restroom facilities so prepare accordingly. Super easy to find and even though you are kind of in a neighborhood you feel very much secluded in nature. Highly recommend

Had a lovely time at Mickelberry Forest Gardens. The views are spectacular in a quiet setting among goats and chickens in their pens. Big fire pit in the back field makes for a serene time.

Hartwoods was a perfect spot for our two night stay. It was secluded enough, peaceful, spacious and very well maintained. Google Maps took us further than the actual spot.

Amy was communicative and so lovely! The property is beautiful. The goats and chickens and ducks were fun camp neighbors to have. There’s a gas station and market 5 minutes away should you need anything last minute.
Due to the grass in the field being dry, we had to camp a little closer to the house than we would have preferred so that we could have easier access to load/unload our camping gear and so that we could have fresh grass to set up the fire pit over. But, it sounds like the meadow will be developed over time to allow for that! So, knowing that I think we would definitely consider returning when my friend and I continue our annual camping tradition next year!

Hartwoods was the perfect spot for us to land for 4 nights while visiting family in New Haven. The property is private, well kept, beautiful, and a short walk away from the New England Trail. The host was quick to respond to questions. Our dog enjoyed the open space and being off leash. We also enjoyed being able to drive to the quaint harbor towns like Mystic for lobster and fresh cider. There was some noise from the Sportman’s Association rifle range down the road, but not enough to be an issue. We would definitely recommend Hartwoods, and hope to stay there again in the future.

Amy and Bill were wonderful hosts - we had two spots (a tent and an Airstream) and really enjoyed the atmosphere and gardens - especially the cute ducks waddling around! Great spot - we will be back :)

Very peaceful and secluded spot! It was perfect for us and our 2 dogs! Wish we could’ve stayed longer but it was a great spot to put our camper for a few days! Would definitely come stay here again if we are in the area again! 😊

We loved camping at Rick’s land. It was very clean, level and peaceful. Our dogs had a great time and enjoyed the outdoor. The firepit is also great and we cooked the majority of our meals over the campfire and tasted delicious! We look forward to returning soon! Rick was also a great and responsive host and ensured we really had everything we needed and had a great and relaxing time.

1 night at Hartwoods
This property is, Absolutely, Beautiful. Lots of room. If you are towing, take the second entrance. If your rig is longer the 35-38’ this may become challenging to get in. But once you’re in, you feel like the whole woods is yours! It’s amazing how close the freeway is, but it felt like we were hours from town.
