Farm camping near Watch Hill

Weekend Trip to Greener Pastures Camp

A group of us wanted to do a camping trip somewhere that had privacy but wasn’t too in the wild. This was the perfect place! Great set up and wood being supplied was HUGE.

This place was so lovely! We arrived late, but the hosts stayed up to show us around and offered us firewood. Their property is very beautiful, and waking up to the sound of the birds was just perfect. Thank you guys, 100% will come back!

Weekend Trip to Greener Pastures Camp

It was a great place to stay the night! Jessica was very accessible for communication. On arrival, she showed us the different place we could park our camper van and we had access to free firewood too. It was quiet and very private!

It was a very nice spot. Beautiful scenery. There is alot to do around the area. Plenty of hiking and fishing. It was very quiet. The response from Jessica was always within a timely manner and very pleasant to communicate with. I plan on returning to this location in the future. I would recommend to anyone.

1 night at Blackburn Farm

This is a great private quiet and beautiful location and Chris, our host, was very welcoming and helpful. The site is level and sits on a massive trail network, suitable for hiking, and biking and is close to Mystic/Stonington and the many parks, boat launches, docks, museums and great restaurants in the area. We will definitely be back with kayaks/bikes.

3 nights at Holiday Hill

I don't usually pay as much as I did for a dry site, and before I got there I had some misgivings about the cost, however once I arrived, settled in and got to meet Jesse and some of the staff and learn about the camp and their mission as well as explored the offerings in the area, I had no regrets. Staff was extremely welcoming. The site itself is basic. I have a 14 ft trailer, about 8 ft wide & it fit in well between two trees and required no leveling. A larger rig would fit, however I can't say if it would be level for you and might be a tight fit. The camp road does pass directly in front of the site. The camp was not open, however maintenance staff did begin to arrive & there was traffic during the day. Therefore, depending upon the time you're here, there could be much more activity. However, if you enjoy hiking, biking or paddling, you won't be there much, so it will not matter! You can walk across the street and hike the Natchaug Reservation, where there are miles of beautiful trails! Just a couple of miles down the road there is Mansfield Hollow State Park and dam, which has AMAZING hiking trails, a beautiful 500 acre lake and paved trails to the dam should you prefer that type of stroll. The area is absolutely beautiful! The campsite was extremely quiet at night. You will hear light traffic noise during the day, however at night it disappears. If you are a tent camper, the lean-to site is awesome! It's set up on the hill in the back, private and just a great site.

2 nights at Wee Three Farm

Stayed here with my wife for 2 nights on our annual road trip. Hosts are friendly and very nice (offered us fire wood). Beautiful private corner of a field backing up against a massive split oak. Apple Maps was off by about 4-5 houses. Overall 10/10!

A beautiful, quiet campsite. I would definitely stay again. Jesse was very communicative and provided all the info I needed for my stay.

We loved the lean-to site. Lean-tos were clean and dry. The site has 2 picnic tables, a big fire ring, more than enough firewood and even a trash can, which was very convenient. We checked out the grounds and did a nice loop hike at Wolf Rock nearby. Jesse was very responsive, directions were clear and we will defintely come back if we have the chance.

Jessica was really sweet and accommodating. My vehicle is pretty tall, so she came out to meet me and show me another entrance where I wouldn’t risk having any branches hitting the top of my bus! Jessica and her partner are so kind! I would definitely recommend staying on their beautiful piece of property

Weekend Trip to Greener Pastures Camp

Jessica was extremely accommodating given my late notice and late night arrival! The site is quiet, private and really everything you’d want from a campsite. Greener Pastures will be on my list when I return to CT.

I had an amazing stay at this campsite! The host was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making me feel right at home from the moment I arrived. They were happy to answer any questions I had and even offered some great local recommendations. The campsite itself was clean, quiet, and well-maintained. It’s definitely a great spot if you’re traveling on a budget. Overall, I would absolutely stay here again. If you're looking for a peaceful, budget-friendly spot with a host who genuinely cares about your stay, this is the place! Highly recommend.

2 nights at Greener Pastures Camp

Jessica was great! Very welcoming and accommodating. Free firewood, wide open space. The property was beautiful. I woke up surrounded by a flock of turkeys! A great way to start the day :)

An amazing stay with amazing and accommodating hosts! My partner and I wanted to have a quick getaway with a new truck camper we just bought, and this was perfect. Due to the snow we couldn’t access the proper camping spot, however we were lucky enough to set up in their driveway which was just as great!

1 night at Humble Farm with Simplicity

We spent the night there during a snow storm and Mary and Victor were so kind and helpful with everything! Super accommodating, we had a great stay there and would definitely stay here again !

Weekend Trip to Glamping with the Wild Horses

This was my first time using Hipcamp, and it was a great experience. Jesse, our host, was quick to respond and easy to communicate with. The site was exactly as described and shown in the photos. I stayed at the amphitheater location, which worked perfectly for my van camping setup. The surroundings were quiet and peaceful. I’d happily stay here again.

4 nights at Holiday Hill

We enjoyed car camping here! The area was peaceful and comfortable. We would definitely stay here again given the chance.

Words can’t express the hospitality and love when staying here at Wild Ride! Kenzie and her husband were genuine, easy going, and sooo knowledgeable about all of their rescue horses! Kenzie trains them with a flawless method filled with intuition and true love for her horses! The accommodations were fantastic! I felt like I was in the woods at a cozy retreat in the Netherlands! We stayed on the coldest night of the year (temps in the teens) My only suggestions is bring a really warm sleeping bag bc the dome doesn’t keep the heat for very long. Highly recommend this establishment and i’ll def be back with friends in the future!

Amazing experience! Booked a last minute stay and jessica was so kind to accommodate me! would definitely recommend to friends and family. thank you so much for your help!
