All tucked in to site #S21. Although site is not as shaded and closer to the road than most of the other sites on this loop, it was still nice. You are in view of all of your neighbors but far enough away not to hear their conversations.

Stories from the community

2 nights at Slateville Farm Secluded Camps

After three years on Hipcamp, Slateville Farms delivered our most amazing camping experience ever. Heather's hospitality was exceptional - she met us at the Farm Stand and personally escorted us to our site. When she learned we were celebrating my 14-year-old's birthday with friends, she thought the boys would LOVE the new Quarry site, upgraded us and had our tent set up before arrival! The Farm Stand was incredible with essentials like firewood and ice, plus gourmet treasures including homemade organic strawberry rhubarb vanilla jam and pickled beet relish that were unbelievable. Fresh berries, vegetables, and eggs collected that day from Heather's chickens added authentic farm-to-table magic. Thoughtful amenities included four shelves of forgotten items - we used the first aid kit, mosquito repellent wristbands and even borrowed a hammock. The complimentary incense bug repellent was game-changing. At dusk during dinner, not one bug bothered us as fragrant incense filled the air. The Quarry site was phenomenal with kayaks, floats and an amazing jumping spot for the boys. Spring water spigots provided icy cold water. If needed a flush toilet + shower added perfect glamping comfort. Sunset views from the highest peak were breathtaking! We even chilled with Highland cows! I'm already planning an adult trip back. This represents everything great about camping - genuine hospitality, stunning beauty, thoughtful amenities and exceptional care. A million thanks Heather and Paul!

Family and I had a wonderful time staying in the daydream cabin! Absolutely breathtaking views and the reservoir being so close to the camp is awesome!

Weekend Trip to Slateville Farm Secluded Camps

As always, thank you so so much Heather! We love Slateville Farm and look forward to returning to all year! Heather is fantastic, very responsive, and super super helpful and kind - she helped us out with a last minute stick of butter when I forgot mine, and the produce is amazing (loving the blueberries!) So grateful for you can't wait to come back! : )

Weekend Trip to Sunrise Farm

We loved camping on the lotus pond, it was very relaxing and easy to get too. We will definitely be back!

Weekend Trip to Slateville Farm Secluded Camps

Awesome site and property! Heather was a very kind host who made us feel very welcomed onto her farm! We purchased a wood bundle and a half dozen eggs from her and were very pleased with both! High quality wood and the eggs were delicious! The quarry was so refreshing to jump into and was the highlight of the site. There are kayaks to use on shore and a nice cliff to jump off of. If you want to hang in the water you should bring a flotation device since the whole thing is at least 45’ deep! Just one note: We stayed at the new quarry site and the site had an interesting fire pit. It is a very deep metal “cup”. Thankfully our tripod hanging cooking grate just barely fit over it so we could still use it but it is just something to be aware of. It’s pretty big so the fire is deep into the cup so its kind of tough to watch the fire unless you are standing up. The redeeming thing about it though is that it does a fantastic job of keeping the smoke out of your face! It forces the smoke straight up. Overall it was a 10/10 site and Heather has such a beautiful property! We will be back!

Weekend Trip to Grateful Acres Vermont

Beautiful piece of land, amazing host. Every need was met with kindness and compassion. The night sky lit up with stars , lying on a hammock with a fire going was just what I needed

1 night at River Farm

We had a great time hanging out at this site. The hosts are great and do a fantastic job maintaining this beautiful tract of land. The entrance is easy to locate and provides great privacy for swimming in the river and enjoying the landscape. The generous beach area was clean and tidy and a great spot to listen to the waterfall cascade across the river. It was very helpful to have some necessities like the picnic table, chairs, fire pit and grills on site. 10 out of 10!

This was our first experience, using a hip camp site and our experience was absolutely fabulous! The site was immaculately maintained, beautiful, and very relaxing. One note to future travelers, it was very helpful for us to have a rechargeable fan just to keep the pesky black flies away.

Weekend Trip to Grateful Acres Vermont

Absolutely wonderful place! The most kind people, highly recommend

Weekend Trip to River Farm

What an incredible gem of a spot by the river! Plus,a natural cold spring fed waterfall off the mountain right in front of the swimming hole...pure heaven!!! Will D. has outdone himself with this site providing everything you would need and more...firewood, picnic table, both charcoal and gas grills plus so much more!! There is no service in this area, I would suggest downloading directions before your trip to get you to this amazing spot. Will definitely book again in the future!!

Weekend Trip to Slateville Farm Secluded Camps

We loved how private and peaceful this campsite felt as it really felt like we had the entire place to ourselves. Sure there are other sites on the property, but they are well-spaced. So you have plenty of privacy and quiet. We visited in early July and were treated to an incredible show of fireflies each night. Heather was a wonderful host—very responsive and helpful, and she gave us great recommendations for local places. The on-site shower with hot water at the farm stand was also a bonus. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a serene, private getaway close to nature!

Weekend Trip to Sunrise Farm

It’s beautiful place to camp at and very peaceful. Each spot offer different things, #1 (which i tried last year ) give you open view , and #5 give excluding feel (which i tried this year) Overall the place is beautiful, peaceful, and safe, the drive to get there is a amazing as well and they provide almost everything you need and the price is very reasonable and affordable

3 nights at Slateville Farm Secluded Camps

My group loved our stay at Heather’s farm. We originally had The Owl site reserved but Heather accommodated us with a bigger site due to our group size. The site we ended up at was wonderful with great views and so much space. The private dock was a plus! There was a lot to explore in the farm and we only scratched the surface. We’re looking forward to coming back. Thank you so much for having us!

Weekend Trip to Sunrise Farm

Great private location while still able to enjoy the pond at the main location. Roy is very helpful and responsive. It’s a tight fit for a large truck and a travel trailer larger than 20’.

Weekend Trip to River Farm

Incredible little slice of paradise! Thoughtfully curated for a comfy stay. Anything you might have forgot was already there. Truly a lovely spot

2 nights at Slateville Farm Secluded Camps

This was truly one of the most peaceful and enjoyable camping experiences I’ve ever had. The site was clean, spacious, and well-maintained, with plenty of room to spread out and relax. We were surrounded by lush greenery and rolling hills, giving the perfect mix of nature and tranquility. Heather is an extremely gracious host, friendly and helpful, offering great local tips and checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. I look forward to coming back, I would recommend this 100%. Thank you for sharing your farm with others to enjoy!

2 nights at Grateful Acres Vermont

This was the perfect, little getaway for us. The location is good, very scenic, lots of trails, swimming and close to downtown Wilmington. The campsite was very clean, inviting and beautiful. Super dog friendly. Stephany was a very sweet and accommodating host. We would love to visit again.

Gus's Gardens

6 sites · RVs9 acres · Wilmington, VT

With the main house built in 1860 this property has seen many uses such as a farm, retail Christmas store, church, rental cabins, and a gravel quarry among other things. I now try to keep the back acreage by the brook and pond as natural as possible for habitat, as well as you the campers! Learn more about this land: I have 3 well spaced out RV sites on the property. They fit different sized rigs so please read the descriptions. Most will have cell service at the sites or there is a free public Wi-Fi in Wilmington center. Private yet convenient to Downtown Wilmington, VT. Located between the Harriman reservoir and Lake Raponda, both great for boating, fishing and swimming. As well as the Deerfield River across the street, which runs through town. There is a public hiking trail that goes through the property. It goes from the Fairview ave. boat launch in Wilmington, all the way up to West Dover. You can access this at the back of the site. The sites are only a minutes drive from downtown Wilmington, or you can hike/bike there on the trail (approx 15 min). In Wilmington there is plenty of shopping, gifts, coffee, restaurants, gas, liquor store. I also have dry, split firewood available for $10 on site. Please don't bring your own unless it is prepackaged from shaws or bought from one of the local sellers right around me. Transportation of out of state firewood can bring invasive beetles to our forests...

Cozie Nook Homestead

2 sites · Tents110 acres · Ashfield, MA

A small family farm that has been in Dennis's family since 1914. The old county road once existed in front of our house. Where horses and wagons would stop to off load part of their load to continue up the hill. They would return to pick up the rest and continue on. Since inheriting the farm, we have moved towards sustainable farming. We follow grass fed measures while raising our sheep the poultry free ranges to control the flea and tick population on the farm. Our vegetables are grown organically. We harvest only what is needed to heat our home from the forest leaving under growth alone. Last fall almost a hundred acres, of our farm, went into land conservation protecting it from urban sprawl.
