Fox Farm is located on 8 magical acres in eclectic Brattleboro, VT. Pitch your tent in a sacred private white pine forest or closer to the trail-head with access to a charcoal grill, a huge fire circle and a picnic table. If you prefer a roof over your head, check Fox Farm Cottage @ Fox Farm. Located ideally on a trail-head that leads to the West River Trail (a 36-mile scenic trail through the West River Valley – eventually linking Brattleboro, Dummerston, Newfane, Townshend, Jamaica and South Londonderry) and the West River, offering opportunities to hike, fish, swim, ski, snow shoe and bike. The Marina Bar and Restaurant is a 2 mile hike or bike ride from the camp site (via the West River Trail) and is a fun way to see the beauty of Vermont and partake in some excellent indoor/outdoor dining with views of the water. Currently there are two areas available to campers; The Pine Forest and the Council of the Elders. The Pine Forest is a shaded circular area that is very spiritual and quiet. There are currently 3 camp sites in the Pine Forest. The Council of the Elders is a more open (again circular) area that abuts The Pine Forest and has a large fire pit as it's centerpiece, surrounded by the Elder Pine trees. I have had up to 2 campers and an occasional van/camper at the Council of the Elders. I have most recently had requests to book the entire Pine Forest for guests who are traveling together and want privacy- and Ido my best to work with people to accommodate any needs. Please bring your own firewood if you intend to have a fire. I offered wood to guests in the past when I was able but found that tricky to manage as there are times I myself am out of wood. There is plenty of felled wood all around as the property is surrounded by a dense forest and guests are welcome to gather that to supplement fire making. In my experience as a host, I have noted that folks come together and build mini-communities, share food, fires and is generally a positive vibe. Some come for privacy and solitude, which has not been an issue thus far. All in all the energy is upbeat and folks make friends along the way- me too! Brattleboro is a funky, hipster town with many excellent restaurants and much to see and do. For winter enthusiasts Mount Snow is a 30 minute drive and folks can cross country ski and snowshoe right from their camp sites to the 36 mile trail. The Hipcamper can expect privacy yet easy accessibility to the homeowner for tips and ideas to support a positive experience. Campers may be greeted and visited my friendly Bernese Mountain Dog's, Loki Bear and Levi!

Cindy's campsite offers a cozy and peaceful retreat, delighting visitors with its proximity to the West River Trail and the charm of a rustic, backwoods experience. Many guests appreciated the host's warmth and attentiveness, noting her willingness to assist with any needs, from providing fresh flowers to helpful local tips. However, some guests found the bathroom facilities less than ideal, with a composting toilet setup that required carrying out waste, which was not universally well-received. Despite this, the lush surroundings, easy access to town, and the friendly presence of Cindy's dogs make it a compelling choice for those seeking a tranquil escape.

Pine Forest Site 1

Friendly host with great car camping sites. The onsite trail to connect to the West River Trail is a huge bonus for walkers, hikers, and bikers that can handle some offroad conditions.

Girls weekend at the cottage/cabin was amazing. This was our second time and as always amazing and Cindy’s hospitality is amazing. I would highly recommend staying at Fox Farm it is beautiful and quiet but not far from town.

Pine Forest Site 2

While Cindy was nice and met us on arrival. She was very insistent on us texting our arrival time which sort of cramped our plans. The site was kind of Hap hazard with junk scattered about. I feel for the price a raked area for site and some sort of outhouse would have been provided.(there was a commode like my mother used before her death sitting at edge of one of the campsites). Her dog(big) jumped on the side of our car and us upon arrival. The site was quiet(except road noise) but again for price it was not what we have come to love about Hipcamp. Based on our other fabulous experiences with Hipcamp this one gets a meh.

Cindy was wonderful and friendly and the location was great since it was both private and so close to downtown Brattleboro.

The host Cindy is a down-to-earth lovely person. She did whatever she could to make sure my stay at her camp was enjoyable. I had some unfortunate repair needs for my RV and didn’t have the proper tools. I asked Cindy to borrow one which she didn’t have, but she went out and bought the tools I needed That enabled me to make the repairs. I would definitely come back there again and recommend her camp to anyone.

Private cozy cabin near River

Fox Farm Cottage

This is a great spot for backwoods camping. For people understand that, it’s a great little spot. Spent one night with two dogs. Outdoor space/porch is perfect but less secluded than I had thought. Bed is super comfy!! Love the vintage hunting cabin feel to it. Only down side which Cindy clearly explains is the bathroom situation. I stayed less than 24 hours... If I had to do #2, I would have struggled with the idea I’m sure lol. No running water.
