Our property is 85 very private acres with an open field surrounded by forest and open wooded area with many trails. The forest is very diverse including some old growth maples and birches, as well as hemlock and pine trees. The campsites are at the edge of the field set back into the woods. I have recently added sand and gravel to improve drainage since the heavy rain we have had last year. We have a portable composting toilet outhouse and a hot outdoor shower. Feel free to explore all of the trails on foot or mountain bike. You may see some turkeys or deer out there. There is a small pond with lots of frogs and salamanders near the camping area, and a few seasonal streams on the property. You can hike a one mile loop on our newest trail. It is medium difficulty because of the hillside it is built on so hiking boots are recommended unless you are on a mountain bike. Rock walls built in the mid 1800s circle the property almost entirely so the borders are easy to see. The Deerfield river is a few miles away where you can fish for trout or go for a swim or kayak. The Connecticut river and the green river are about 15 minutes away as well. We have tubes, a canoe, and a kayak that are available to rent for some floating! Historic Deerfield village and Yankee Candle store and factory are about 10 minutes away. We are about 20 minutes from Northampton and Amherst.Choose between camping in one of the wooded nooks at the edge of our grassy field. A stone fire pit is located at each site. We have plenty of firewood for campers so no need to bring any. Our composting toilet is available as well as our outdoor hot shower. Listen to owls and frogs serenade you to sleep! You might see a family of deer at dawn or dusk and you will definitely hear lots of birds. Bring your mountain bike or hiking boots and you can explore over a mile of trails on our property and easily get to the Deerfield river using the two mile long Mahican-Mohawk trail which leads to Conway Station where two rivers meet and you can see the ruins of a trolley bridge. The street we are on was recently designated part of the Franklin County scenic bikeway which takes you along the Connecticut river valley and many points of interest. We are a 10 minute to Treehouse brewery, Berkshire brewing company, historic Deerfield, yankee candle and mount sugarloaf reservation. We are 15 minutes from the Franklin county fairgrounds and Camp Keewanee.

We had a great time at the Open Forest Site. There was lots of shady, flat space for tents and yard games. We enjoyed the big firepit with plenty of firewood. Convenient for a trip to Treehouse and a dip in the Deerfield River.

Overall good experience. Willis and his son were very helpful. Quick to respond if we needed anything. The sight was muddy and there were a lot of ticks. There were also a few random dogs running through the campsite, which was a little off putting for our group with 4 small children.

We had a great time camping here. The site is private and there was plenty of space for our two four-person tents. The bathroom was close by, clean and lighted at night. Our visit was the first week of April, first guests of the season, so a couple of quirks can be chalked up to that – water had to be turned on, a bit of mud on the walk to the water spigot, and firewood was damp. Willis provided all the wood no extra charge, he mentioned the standing water is a feature of spring and he responded quickly to our text about turning on the water.

Directions to the property were clear. The site was clean, flat, private, and peaceful. Although we didn’t use the firepit, everything was there. The outdoor shower had perfect temperature and pressure. Willis was friendly, met us upon arrival, and made sure we had everything we needed.

Our family had a wonderful time setting up a “village” (3 tents) on this property. We made the trip from New York City specifically because Willis promised unlimited firewood and we sure took advantage! He was super kind and accommodating. If you’re looking for the feeling of deep- woods camping, this isn’t it; you definitely have the feeling of being on someone’s property, especially because you’re using their awesome hot outdoor shower. Highly recommend for families and folks looking for a city escape! Thanks, Willis!

It was peaceful, and felt very private. We traveled to see a show at Treehouse Brewery and enjoyed being so close! There are lots of hiking trails nearby, including a trail right on the property. The site was big enough for our tent and an additional EZ up.

Camping on beautiful property
Tent ¡ With kids ¡
Open forest campsite
I have to say it was lovely to camp here. Willis has beautiful land! Although campgrounds are nice, his place is private and you're alone surrounded by woods yet not deep in for tough accessibility. There's easy access in and out. You're right in there hearing the birds! Mornings are especially quiet, which is very nice. The fire pit is great as well and when we were there the campsite was clean. It is minutes away from the Tree House Brewing Company in Deerfield where we went for two nights of great music at a nice small venue. My family, friends, and I would definitely go again.

Great property! The main camping area is nestled away in the forest with a picnic table and firepit, and room for a tent and/or a camper van and a couple hammocks. There’s also a whimsical playhouse sized for little people. The full property has multiple other sites for tents/campers, plus a field that’s great for starwatching. The outdoor shower was great. Compost toilet is a compost toilet, what else can you say, haha. The main hose is across the field, visible but not intrusive. We took a couple walks on the trails behind the site. Very pleasant forest with enough change in elevation to make it interesting but not too challenging. We didn’t get all the way to the river. I suggest getting specific directions if that’s what you want. Willis is a great host. Responsive and friendly.

We had an amazing camping experience here! Willis was super welcoming and gave us some great recs for bike paths in the area. The shaded area was perfect, and the walking trails on the property were a lovely bonus. We felt safe and private the whole time. One tip: bring a thermacell! It was a total lifesaver when it came to bugs, they're inevitable outdoors, but it made a huge difference. We also appreciated the large sink for washing dishes. Overall, we'd definitely recommend this spot!

Great hip camp find!
Open forest campsite
This was a great semi private pet friendly spot located at the back of the owner's property. If you set your campsite upright you can make it so that everyone has privacy. It was a wonderful spot plenty of room for multiple tents and screen houses. There's also a wonderful hiking trail through the property that you can take.

Very nice spot.
Open forest campsite
I really liked this site. The set up was great for my pop-up and be would just as good for tents or an RV. It was early Spring, so the foliage hasn’t come in yet and it rained all Saturday making quite a bit of mud. However, we made the best of it and had a good time. The hiking paths were great and well marked. Willis is working on a treehouse that would be amazing to camp in. The pallet bridge over the little stream needs to be replaced, falling through it wasn’t fun. But it is very early in the season and I’m sure it’s on his list of things to do.

Excellent services provided by host Willis. He was waiting for us and escorted us to the campsite. Everything was better than expected such as the prepared wood fir the fire pit and the picnic table with views of the forest. The nearby compost latrine was easy to get to and cleanest we've ever seen. Highly recommend and we will be going back soon.

This site is perfect for those who want a nice relaxing weekend in the woods. Far enough from things but also close enough to a lot. We went hiking in the woods nearby and managed to get all the way to the river which was further than we initially thought, but it was a great hike nonetheless. We also had a great experience with Willis and his help showing us to the camp site. Overall I would come back in a heartbeat!

Open forest campsite
Willis has carved out the perfect camping nook. It couldn't be easier to pull right in with a vehicle, and the site is ready to go with a large, solid picnic table, a roomy fire pit, and a covered platform with firewood at the ready. For late September, the tree frogs and insects were still quite active at night .. the perfect soundtrack for a nighttime campfire. The composting toilet is nice to have, and the outdoor shower was clutch, just the thing after hiking around nearby Mt. Sugarloaf. He's even got a sink set up for when it's time to wash the dishes. I would come back for sure. It's easy to get to, quiet, and close to lots of outdoorsy stuff. Also, Willis has some young rock gardens budding around his property, so be sure to check them out. I am interested how they'll be looking a year from now.

Excellent place for a beautiful and quiet Labor Day weekend camping trip with friends and family. So glad we opted for this against the crowded campgrounds. Loved the small hike in their woods, kids romping about in the field, laying in the grass and watching the shooting stars. Compost toilet did the trick and nice layout of the sites. Will definitely return for the treehouse that was under construction!

A lovely private place all to ourselves. Our spot was nested under old trees by the field. Despite the rain we had no issues driving to or from site with our 2wd Westfalia. Willis is a super host. Extremely responsive. He also went out of his way to mark the trails in the woods on his land for us to enjoy. We brought a small stainless rack to put on the grate that went over the fire pit but the grate that was there would have been fine by itself. The hot outdoor shower was just a real nice perk of this place.
