The Zichichi Family farm was absolutely amazing. The land was quiet and beautiful. The hosts were so welcoming, showed us around the property, and set out fire wood and eggs for us. 1000% recommend, we will be back!

2 nights at Water Forest Retreat
My husband and I loved staying at Treehouse!! If you are looking for a magical place in nature, look no further! The Treehouse is a very private and tranquil spot in the woods that is a great place to escape the hustle and bustle of the city life. The hammock was by far our favorite spot to relax in and gaze up to the sky. We had perfect weather for hiking and the trails are well marked and maintained. We even got to see a deer while out on the trails! Nighttime is meant for fires and the fire pit area with tiki torches is beautiful and relaxing. We came back home recharged and refreshed. Bert and Nancy are incredible hosts with the most positive energy! They thought of every little detail and Bert was very attentive just in case we needed anything, but not intrusive. I am pretty sure we over packed lol Can’t wait to book our next stay!

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!

Loved this site! The wooden platform kept our tent off the ground and nice and dry. Check-in instructions were 100% clear and easy.
The pond is super relaxing. You're only minutes away from Mohegan and Foxwoods to wine and dine.
Just ensure you have 4WD... There's two tree stumps to dodge if your vehicle has low clearance but it's easy to maneuver once you see them the first time. My Subaru Impreza hatchback is quite low... Anything taller than that you'll be a-OK.
Would come back if welcomed!

Probably one of the most secluded and amazing spots we’ve found in the NE. Love the spot; love the privacy and stars. Love the proximity to Mystic and the coast. Cant say enough great things about this sport for boondockers and off the grid types.

So far still the best hip camp ive ever went to.View was superb,entering the place was a little challenging but we love it,feels like a little adventure.Our campervan is front wheel dive but had no problem maneuvering the terrain,all you need is good ability and common sense driving.We love the deck and the fire pit.The reflection of the trees on the water gives us a nice view,importantly place was so serene and very private.We highly recommend this hip camp place.

My husband and I stayed one night at the Forested Tent Site and loved it! We loved the privacy and secluded area surrounded by the forest. While the outhouse was around 80-100 yards away, it was very convenient and clean. The stars were amazing with no light pollution. It is a great place to get get away from the hustle and bustle of other campsites and life in general. We would definitely go back!

Absolutely loved it! Even though it rained the whole time we were there, it was still a wonderful experience. The place was peaceful and quiet, with a perfect setup for a fire pit right by the water. They even provided the firewood. The fire pit is surrounded by rocks, making it so easy to sit, relax, and enjoy without needing to bring anything extra.

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
