Hike in and set up your tent, on the way in pass the pond and explore the waterfall. Great location to get away but still close to restaurants and town.

I enjoyed the peaceful night's sleep in the backwoods up the mountain road. I camped in my car and just parked on the flat a spot at the top of the hill. Would be a nice spot for tent camping.

Another great winter camping trip on the books! Great visit with Sean, his wife and their goats when we checked in and tons of privacy out at the site. Perfect night for a fire and checking out the stars. Lots of land to snowshoe on too! Can't wait to go back.

We had a phenominal time during a little late season camping trip here. The land was stunning and provided awesome views of the stars at night; the stream made for great ambient sound, all around great area! Sean was super friendly and we even got to meet the goats! Short drive away from Norway and Bethel, would defintiely recommened if you're looking for a weekend getaway trip.

Had an amazing weekend with my 10 year old daughter. I’ve stayed here multiple times and it’s been great every time. We found a cool little museum in Woodstock, and had a great afternoon exploring nearby towns and found a public beach not too far away.

Winter camping at its best! Just enough snow to get the full experience. Sean was a great host! He cut a road to the site for us with his tractor, and cleared a spot to park. Land was great to stretch our legs and explore on snowshoes. 100% would recommend and will be back. In addition to a great, private site, we got to meet 3 very friendly goats! Looking forward to the next time.

We had a great time staying at Ironside Farm. We reserved very last minute and Sean was friendly and accommodating. We loved the wide open space, firepit, sunset views, and the walk down to the waterfall. We'd love to come back when we have more time!

I had a nice time camping here. Pretty quiet, mostly just the sounds of nature. I walked all around, checked out the waterfalls and pond. I’ll be back.
