Amazing as always! This is the second time we’ve been there. The location is so convenient to shelbourne falls, and we got the inside scoop on a local little watering hole to swim with our dog and beat the heat from Jill. Nice and cool in the trees, and the little table and benches are just perfect for hanging by the fire. Perfect amount of trees to hang LOTS of hammocks and a full tentsile tree tent.

Jill’s place was perfect! It was secluded but close to hiking and the center of town. The camp itself was extremely well maintained and the view was wonderful. The outhouse was a definite perk! Jill was attentive via text and provided recommendations throughout our stay. We would absolutely be back!

Hart Hideaway is a refuge tucked away among the trees and ferns of western Mass. This was our third stay with Jill and Tim, and as always they were warm, responsive, and helpful. The site is private—perfect for a camping trip with our baby—and close to a beautiful swimming hole and local trails. The campsite is thoughtfully laid-out and features benches and a food prep surface, as well as a clean and well-maintained composting toilet. We’ve loved our visits, and hope we can squeeze in another one soon!

Private Campsite!
This was such a beautiful campsite!! It was quiet and peaceful, and it was spacious a enough for a few campers. It was also provided lots of privacy!! I will definitely return!

A dreamy campsite
This campsite was beautiful, private, quiet and well laid out. The outhouse was the cleanest I’ve ever used, and Jill was super responsive with any questions we had. I would definitely recommend staying here and we plan to come back!

Hart Hideaway was perfect in every way! We had an extremely relaxing week vacationing on Tim and Jill's property. The site is awesome and what a luxury to have a composting toilet a short walk from our tent. Jill brought up some gorgeous flowers from her garden for the outhouse which made it even more welcoming to use. Having this luxury just added to the awesomeness of this site. We brought our kayaks and Tim told us about Hallockville Pond in Hawley MA which was so beautiful and secluded. If you are car campers like us and bring lots of stuff, consider bringing a wagon to get your gear from your car to the site. It's not a long walk but having a wagon made life much easier. Listening to the owls hoot back and forth was a great way to fall asleep. Make sure to star gaze while standing in the clearing, the night sky is beautiful and stars a plenty. We will definitely be back!!!

Great stay!
The campsite is awesome, very secluded with a nice firepit. The owner was very nice and easy to work with. All around a great rental, perfect for a couple, family or group of friends. This place truly is a hideaway, we will be back!

Beautiful spot with amazing view. Great location a short drive from Shelburne Falls. My partner and I camped here while attending the Green River Music Festival, and it was great to have a quiet spot to return to at night. Jill was incredibly responsive and helpful.

We had a nice and relaxing weekend! The site was lovely and private, the outhouse was very clean and convenient, and we also checked out the recommended swimming hole nearby where we made a fish friend. Thank you so much for being accommodating of our changing group size!

Wonderful camp site! The site was our HQ for a local cycling adventure. Perfectly suited three of us and all our gear. The built table, benches and fire pit were very handy and the bathroom/sink was very convenient. All was tidy and clean. We briefly met one of our host when he was delivering firewood and water who was very friendly and helpful in recommended local places for dinner (The Blue Rock was a gem of a place). Zero hesitation in recommending the site to anyone visiting the area.

This site was perfect! My boyfriend and I were thrilled to have some privacy and the outhouse was clean and easy to use. Jill was available if we had any questions and was able to recommend a local swimming hole only 2 miles from the site! I highly recommend staying here.

Perfect
Absolutely perfect! Beautiful area. Went to bed listening to crickets, woke up to birds chirping and chipmunks scurrying about. Ate a few fresh blackberries right off the bushes in the morning. We appreciated the water dispenser Jill had left as well. Also cleanest outhouse I’ve seen yet. Fully functional pump sink and camp toilet. Stay here!

This was an amazing spot! A beautiful campsite that was very private. The outhouse is beautifully built and in really good condition. The area is lovely. We went to cute bakeries, picked berries, and found good swimming.

Great time among the pines and fern
This was my first time using HipCamp and it was a great experience. It’s a lively spot tucked away in MA. Close to lots of great hiking but still close to restaurants and shopping if that’s your interest. We rode or motorcycles and spent quiet time with nothing but the pines and the ferns. The hosts provided water and a composting toilet which was a definite plus. Great communication from the host before, during and after our visit. I highly recommend this site.

Wow! What an amazing little hideawy
The Hart Hideaway is a very private quiet little hideaway at the top of a hill. The sunrise was amazing and lighting bugs put on quite the spectacular show at night.
The campsite fit a large 6 person tent and a smaller 1 person along with a hammock and a 2 person hammock tent. Very comfortable for 6 people. The fire ring and the rustic handmade log benches made relaxing by the fire such a pleasure. There was potable water at the campsite on a 5 foot long log shelf between two trees that made the food prep and camp organizing very easy.
The composting toilet is the nicest I’ve ever used and such a comfort for those who shy away from the traditional “hole in the ground” camping bathroom.
Overall we were very happy with the entire experience and could not have asked for anything more.
We will absolutely come back and stay again and highly recommend this site to anyone and everyone who asks!!!!!

Jill and Tim were fantastic hosts! This campsite was beautiful and private. We had a wonderful sky view of the pines from our tent, and saw the moon and sun rise from the top of the campsite. The outhouse was clean and easy to use. We would definitely stay again once we're back in the area and recommend this site wholeheartedly.

Ferns, fireflies, and fun...oh my!
This site is awesome! The hosts are very welcoming and the set up is super well thought out. It's private, shaded by plenty of trees, and has a really great outhouse. The bathroom is brand new and very comfortable. Anytime I'm out in western Mass I will definitely be staying here. There is so much to do within 30 minutes of the campsite but just hanging out around the site was also so nice.
