Amazing place with super nice and responsive hosts. Perfect location—five minutes from Foxwoods; 20 from Mystic; 10 from 95 as a main corridor anywhere in NE. Quiet, private, beautifully maintained property and fresh farm eggs delivered to your spot. We are experienced HipCampers, and this is definitely in the top three of places we’ve stayed. We will be back!

What a beautiful property. Quiet, well maintained and a Hipcamp gem. Only spent one night but fully enjoyed my peaceful night. Make sure you read the directions about where your spot is. Hopefully you won’t park in the wrong spot I like I did. Sorry
