Stories from the community

2 nights at The Neversink River Isle

Just got back from an amazing camping trip and couldn’t be happier with the experience. The site was beautiful and super private—exactly what we were looking for. The river was perfect for relaxing and added so much to the vibe. Blake, the host, was incredibly helpful and made sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommend this spot and would definitely come back!

1 night at Historic Riverside Farm

Great experience! There’s a river and also many farms nearby that you could visit. 20-30 min drive to ice cave trail which is very fun.

Weekend Trip to Historic Riverside Farm

We had such a great time at Sam and Melissa's farm! The setting was beautiful and peaceful—we especially loved spending time down by the river. There was lots of privacy and our dog loved swimming and exploring the open space! We even saw some deer. Unfortunately, the weather didn’t fully cooperate and it rained quite a bit, which meant we had to cut our stay short. But Sam and Melissa were incredibly accommodating and kindly refunded us for the night we had to forgo due to the weather. We really appreciated their hospitality and would definitely love to come back under sunnier skies!

Weekend Trip to Historic Riverside Farm

We loved our time here! The property is beautiful, directions were clear, paths were maintained so well, the rushing creek nearby was cathartic. The camping ‘toilet’ was easy to maneuver. We would love to return!

1 night at BeaverWood Farm (no children)

We had the most wonderful time! Paul and Marilyn are very sweet and accommodating. We enjoyed hanging out with all the animals. We also had a great time canoeing on the lake. We would definitely recommend visiting!

1 night at BeaverWood Farm (no children)

The hosts are great. The animals were wonderful. Lots of magic there.

Weekend Trip to BeaverWood Farm (no children)

First of all, Thank you Marilyn and Paul for being great hosts to so many families who camp here. We were greeted with lots of love surrounded by animals! Even their cat Tom jumped on our car to say hello. I loved the land, the lake looking over and everyone grilling outside camping around us it’s truly amazing. Every morning we were given the opportunity to feed the animals and have our own experience! If you love Farm Life you will love this place. The Animals are gentle and very loving and perfect place to receive relaxation and healing while you’re at it! My partner and I love to go on our boat as well and we were able to do just that. Thanks so much! & hope to come back very soon!!! 😊

Weekend Trip to Waterfront Sites @ RondoutYachtBasi

Tranquil and unique spot to stop on your journey. Did some music in Woodstock and some hiking at Mohonk. Close to both.

Weekend Trip to BeaverWood Farm (no children)

Kind, easy going, straight forward and right on the lake. Toilet, shower, lakeside. What more could you ask for? Perfect.

Weekend Trip to BeaverWood Farm (no children)

Beaverwood farms was a wonderful experience to camp. My boyfriend and I went for memorial Day weekend and had a great time. The animals in the farm are awesome, so friendly and sweet and fun to be around, especially if you've got some treats on you. They had fresh eggs for sale as well which was a nice surprise in the morning, the wood they have for sale is a great deal, you'll have a campfire all day long. Very pretty property, lake views, boats you can take on the lake, and just overall wonderful treatment from the owners. I am planning on coming back for sure this summer.

Weekend Trip to BeaverWood Farm (no children)

We absolutely loved staying at Paul & Marilyn’s property at BeaverWood Farms! There were plenty of different areas that you could set up your campsite, and the farm animals were super friendly. I arrived a bit later than the check in time listed but Paul was very accommodating and the check in process was easy and quick. We definitely recommend bringing boots as the grounds can get a bit muddy and the animals use the bathroom around the entire campground, so be prepared for that haha. Also, beware of the goat named Chaos, as he is ruthless and makes his rounds to all the picnic tables and grills LOL. Paul also hosted a bonfire on the last night we stayed which was super fun and had the entire campground come hang out. Overall we had an amazing time, and we highly recommend staying at BeaverWood Farms!

1 night at Boulder Point Camp

Great property and facilities!!! Richard was super helpful and had the firewood sent to us right away upon request. Will definitely be back!

1 night at BeaverWood Farm (no children)

This place is so special! The animals are so sweet and Paul & Marilyn are so much fun.

Weekend Trip to BeaverWood Farm (no children)

This was an impromptu trip for a couple, car camping. We didn't expect much, except some unusual animal encounters, and boy were we wrong! The farm is gorgeous! It was a memorial day weekend, so there were quite a few other campers, but there is so much room that it did not feel crowded. The amenities are top notch, the animals are friendly, and the hosts are just unreal. We will definitely be back

Weekend Trip to Liberty Ranch

Solomon was a very nice guy and has a beautiful piece of land. The amount of privacy in the camping area was superb! We were grateful for the hospitality and the whole experience.

Weekend Trip to BeaverWood Farm (no children)

loved the animals and the farm and the owners. so much fun. we loved interacting with the animals all the time

Weekend Trip to BeaverWood Farm (no children)

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 – A Hidden Gem with Heart (and Farm Animals!) I can’t say enough great things about this campsite! Not only is it beautifully nestled on an animal farm (which made for an unforgettable and peaceful stay), but the real highlight was the incredible hospitality from the owner, Paul. From the moment we arrived, Paul made us feel right at home. The farm is full of charm—adorable animals roaming freely, stunning countryside views, and a truly relaxing atmosphere. It's the perfect blend of nature and warmth. But what really stood out was Paul's kindness. My drone managed to get stuck in a tree about 50 feet high (yep, great piloting on my part!), and Paul didn’t hesitate for a second. He brought out his atv, tools, and all the determination in the world to help me get it down. It was no easy feat, but thanks to him, I drove home with my drone—and a great story. If you’re looking for a campsite that goes beyond the basics, where you’ll meet someone who genuinely cares about your experience, this is the place. Thank you, Paul! Can’t wait to come back.

Amy was a fabulous host! Beautiful tucked away little spot with lots to do in Newtown and the surrounding area. Absolutely lovely weekend getaway :-)

Mickelberry Forest Gardens

2 sites · RVs, Tents4 acres · Newtown , CT

The meadow we occupy was once the farmers property that I grew up next to at my parents farm house. When he wanted to sell his property he offered it to us for purchase at a fair price if we would not develop more than we needed to live here. We maintained the meadow adjacent to our property and have kept it as an agricultural site. We have had our son develop an edible forest garden and a unique diversified small orchard so we can eat and share healthy organic fruits and vegetables while helping our environment and wildlife and educating others to do the same. It is expensive to live in Newtown but we love our property. We want to teach others to grow food from their land while helping to support us keeping our adjacent property agricultural and undeveloped. Our property has provided many happy gatherings and events and we love to share it with others. Let us know if there is anything special we can help provide for you. Come visit Mickleberry!!! Learn more about this land: Thank you to all the wonderful friends we have met through this amazing program. We regret that our community at this time does now allow for "transient" renting of property and I unknowingly was operating outside of the zoning rules and regulations of our town. Please continue to get outside and enjoy all the beautiful places and spaces this world has to offer and keep in touch. We love you all! Thank you for your support! Bill and Amy Enjoy your stay next to our edible forest garden on the Edge of a beautiful meadow along side the orchard of berries, nuts and fruit trees.

The 1772 Lefevre Homestead

This property was once a working apple orchard. Over regulation made it very difficult to manage so we let it lie foul for years. Then we let a fellow farmer use it to graze his cattle. Now our children has taking it over and are raising beef cattle on the property. Our campsite lies on the beautiful two and a half century old LeFevre family farmstead with rich history and stunning views of the Shawangunk Mountain ridge.
