First Hipcamper Club

Earn this patch by being the first to spend a night outside at a new Hipcamp.

The Hallow sits on seven acres in the hill towns of western Massachusetts, tucked away off Route 23 in Russell. The old post road runs through here — originally a Pocumtuc footpath, then the first mail route in the country. The land has been holding people for a long time and we love to keep that going. Potash Brook moves through the property and connects to the Westfield River. Follow it and you'll find swimming holes, dip spots, and The Cauldron — a waterfall with a cliff jump and a natural rock slide. Wander around amidst old forest, mossy stone, wildflowers, ghost pipe, and natural gems. One very special completed campsite + just a few more to come, each with their own feel and nook of the brook. Always intimate and quietly communal - never a campground. A shared fire pit for gathering after dark. This is a place to slow down, move at the pace of water, sleep under real dark sky, awake to the sun drenched moss and water flow.

Soft Fern

Tent site · Sleeps 4

Soft Fern sits beside the flowing brook, on a stretch of earth that gives gently under your feet. Bright moss covers the stone, ferns unfurl along the bank, and little pools collect in the rock. A tiny path leads down to a creek-side beach, just enough room to sit at the water's edge. You'll wake up to the sound of babbling water and bird song. The shared fire pit is a moment's walk from the site. Solar lights provide a soft glow. The Cauldron waterfall — cliff jump + natural rock slide — is accessible by following the trail. A sculptural looking piece of a tree left in the center - to place your things. Soft Fern is an intimate site best suited for a solo traveler or couple with a small 1-2 person tent. An adjacent spot can accommodate one additional small tent for friends or family traveling together. This is currently the only campsite on the land, so you'll enjoy the brook to yourselves.

The Field

A flat open field at The Hallow, tucked into seven acres of hill town land in Russell, MA. Park here and step directly into the brook, the forest, and the waterfalls. Simple, open, beautiful. Dry camping only — no electric, water, or sewer hookups. Any size RV or camper van welcome. You'll have access to our Soft Fern site that sits beside the flowing brook, on a stretch of earth that gives gently under your feet. Bright moss covers the stone, ferns unfurl along the bank, and little pools collect in the rock. A tiny path leads down to a creek-side beach, just enough room to sit at the water's edge. You'll wake up to the sound of babbling water and bird song. The shared fire pit is a moment's walk from the site. Solar lights provide a soft glow.
