I loved tent camping on the Away from the World Farm! Such a lovely place with kind hosts and adorable animals. The wooded area was perfect for camping. There was a fire pit and a picnic table. We had a lovely time.

Beautiful and very clean. The fire pits were well stocked and the night sky was clear and dark, wonderful stargazing. Heather is a very accommodating host.

This site was just what we were looking for! We stayed in a rooftop tent on our truck and were able to drive right to the site and found a great level spot to park. Our dog was happy to be able to run around. The campsite was clean and firewood was there waiting for us. Our hosts were responsive when we had questions. We would definitely come back if we’re in the area again.

I took my 6 yr old grandson camping for the first time, he loved it! The property is beautiful. We went on a hike with our 4 dogs, who also had a blast running free. Very private and wooded. A great experience

Weekend Trip to The McIntosh Pines
Beautiful backwoods space w a scenic view and trails. It was a great way to escape for a weekend away w the dogs and our rooftop tent. With most of the leaves off the trees, we we able to see a gigantic hawks' nest although it appeared the couple had not yet returned for the season. It was spectacular to see amongst the backdrop of the creek valley. Very kind host and hostess.

Weekend Trip to Glamping at River Run
This little getaway was everything. The rustic, bohemian vibe was thoughtfully executed. It was warm, inviting, and so clean! The hosts are excellent communicators which was evident right way. They have taken care of every detail. Seriously, leave it all at home! Blankets, lanterns, kitchen/cooking items - stocked! We drove over 3 hours to camp in someone's backyard. Was it worth it? YES!
Not negatives, but some things to consider:
There is a train nearby that you hear all night which i find personally comforting. You will also hear a decent amount of traffic noise from the nearby road. Although you're tucked away, there are still people and other glampers on the neighboring property that you can hear and see. Also, the waterfront is super cute! Probably good for fishing and walking the property, but too mucky for taking a dip.
Oh! The nearby downtown area is also fabulous with lots of great shops, bars, and restaurants. This sweet little glamp spot has everything. 💕

One of the best campsites we have been to so far. Back in the woods nestled on the side of a hill with a view of the ravine and creek. We loved that it was the only site on the property and was very private. Having a campsite stick out is hard because they are a lot of times very similar, but the large fire ring, trash bag lift, wood chopping logs, plenty of flat tent spots, and great view really make this place stand out. We can’t wait to come back and explore more. Thanks for hosting us

This campsite is GORGEOUS. Acres of land to wander, multiple great sites for hammocks and tents. Incredibly secluded, far from the owners' house and tons of trees for privacy. The stream was mostly dry thanks to the recent drought, but we still managed to get water for emergency fire extinguishing. There were a couple benches, a good table, a really nice fire ring, and even a little shovel (the site is truly primitive, you might need that shovel). We could hear Route 62, but it was quiet overnight and the sleeping was excellent. 10/10 will book again!

I loved staying McIntosh Pines. It was a peaceful and private area with plenty of room to walk and hike around. Also, I had an issue that Chad graciously helped me. Would love to come back.

Weekend Trip to Away From The World Farm
I’ve been on Hipcamp for a long time. This is one of the best experiences I’ve ever had while camping. You drive through an incredible farm (not a farm that’s used to pump out cattle, but a farm where every animal has a name and a reason for being there other than mass consumption) to get to the back part of the property, where the camping area is. It’s a fantastic forest that has been kept nearly 100% natural, but has the best and cutest outhouses made from natural wood by the son of the owner, and they’re spotless. Whatever you do though, pay the extra money for the farm tour. The host is one of the most genuine and endearing people I’ve ever met and she LOVES taking you around the farm (which has belonged to her family since the mid-1800’s 🙂↕️) They have so many sheep that are so friendly and cuddly. And they’re not made for meat like on a normal farm, so they’re the actual size of sheep, which is WAY smaller than you would imagine haha. The camp sites are so far from the farm that you feel like you’re in the actual wilderness. And there are only a few, and they’re far apart, so even if it’s fully booked, you feel alone in the woods - in a good way. Overall, I could write so much more about this farm, but there’s a character limit so I can’t lol. Either way, CAMP HERE! It will be an amazing experience and you will love every minute of it. Cannot recommend this place enough.

I had a wonderful time tent camping on Chad & Elizabeth’s land! It was a very tidy campsite with a very nice fire pit and plenty of flat ground for your tent! So nice being able to walk some of the trails and enjoy the late summer weather.

We had a great 2nd visit to Stassia’s land! Everything was well set up and cared for like last time, and when we needed help with something Stassia’s family was very responsive to help. We’ll be back I’m sure!

This place was great! We had 9 people with 4 large tents, which is kind of tight but we utilized the well maintained driving path for a tent and to play Cornhole. They only rent to one person at a time so the entire wooded area is all yours!
Plenty of trails to explore and we seen deer every morning.
Absolutely be back!

I really enjoyed my tent camping experience here! Veronica greeted me when I arrived, showing me the sites (4) and letting me pick which one I wanted. The sites are first come first serve and I was the first guest to arrive. The RV style potty was tricky to use at first, but clean. I stayed in the fursthest spot away from the entrance and it was very private and quiet, though you could occasionally hear the farm animals nearby during the day, which was not bothersome to me. I would stay here again!
