My stay at Mikes west mtn primitive was great! Nice quiet getaway with great views. My trailer got a flat on the way up to the site so it wasn’t off to a great start but I texted mike to let him know i had arrived and had gotten a flat and he called me and said he had blocks and tools etc down at his barn and his son could help me in the morning but i had what i needed to get it changed. Really nice of him to call and offer. The rest of the weekend well. Very peaceful. I will definitely go back. Thanks mike! Jeff

Birthday fun!
The views! The chickens! The overall fun we had while staying here! Thank you to Mike and his family for allowing us a peaceful and serene stay this past weekend. Our site was all the way up the hill to the left, and while it was definitely an interesting road up to the site, the views were well worth any confusion we had getting there. And I will say…doing your business on the top of a hillside with the Green Mountains staring right back at ya is an experience like no other!

Great stay as usual! Mike is very responsive. It was quiet. Private. We saw an owl immediately upon pulling in. Could hear coyotes at night. Star gazing was fantastic. We were able to totally relax.

First Hipcamp. Bar is set high!
My family and I had a wonderful stay at Mike’s. The barn is awesome - such a fun space. We played ping pong and darts, listened to records and soaked up the beautiful Vermont spring weather. Best shower of my life (fresh mountain spring water) invigorated us before and after our hikes in the area

Absolutely awesome spot. So easy to pull right up and get set up, then spend the rest of our time relaxing and visiting the lake. As other reviews have mentioned, pizza night is fantastic, the chickens are hilarious, and this whole place is all good vibes. My kids could have stayed forever. We slept well in a nice flat spot by the pond, and loved listening to so many birds, bugs, frogs, turtles, and who knows what else. Firepit and cooking grate make it very easy, with all the wood you need right nearby. The spot under the pine is not remote, but is incredibly private and made it easy for us to plan a quick last-minute trip for the fam. Thanks, Mike!!

Another great stay at Mike’s
This was our 3rd time staying at Mike’s land and it did not disappoint. Amazing views and the large area with privacy was just perfect for us and our 2 pups. The outdoor shower and pit toilet is a plus also! We will definitely book again soon.

A hidden gem
We loved our stay at Mike’s property. Super private with great amenities for the light tent campers like us. Mike was super responsive and fixed any issues we had and was extremely friendly. I look forward to staying with him again !!

We loved our stay at Mike's farm. The views from our site were tremendous. Mike was very accommodating. We had a hike with our dogs at Shaftsbury Lake State Park near the farm, and an ice cream at The Chocolate Barn also close by. We will return.

Simply perfect
Man, what a sweet little getaway. My wife and I drove up from Jaffrey, NH to get some peace and quiet. We loved the peaceful setting. The woodstove was perfect for a night of warmth and cooking up some food. When we needed to get out for a bit, we took a quick trip to the top of the hill to just sit and be still. The record player was a nice touch. We brought our own vinyl, and enjoyed listening to some sweet tunes while we lounged in our hammock. The spot was simple and functional. Mike, we appreciated your kindness and your communication.

It was great fun. Lot to do in the surrounding area. Check to see if there is a sugaring going on too (delicious vermont maple syrup being made) The barn was big and the wood fire stove was cozy. In the winter bring warm blankets.

Camping during a snowstorm❄️
First off Mike was a super cool guy who greeted us and showed us how everything worked. This place was something I’ll never forget. The ambiance, the vinyl…and who knew I was not so bad at ping pong lol. Lighting was ambient. Very spacious. Our pups had ample room to play which was great! We happened to be there during a snow storm so sadly didn’t end up hiking much or use the pizza oven but honestly if you don’t mind bundling up this place is pretty magical. The wood stove is very small and doesn’t heat the barn so that’s the only thing I’d say…come prepared. Otherwise it’s one Hipcamp I’ll never forget!🫶

A fantastic location made all the better by the ease of check-in and check-out. The venue is more spacious than expected. We were worried about November's cold, but the wood stove works fantastic and the barn is in much better condition than expected. The record player is a huge plus!

Great Stay in the Upper Meadow!
We easily hauled our 14ft Bean Trailer teardrop into this upper meadow. Pretty level site, space to maneuver / turnaround. Delightful open views to east & south, great viewing of moonrise and sunrise. We want to return during foliage season next time. Cold water shower & composting toilet on-site. Good separation between sites. 2-3 bars LTE cell service. Plus we got invited to be part of making & enjoying pizza at the host's outdoor oven.

Talk about a view!
We had an amazing time camping here! The view was absolutely gorgeous, both for the sunrise and sunset. The campsite had an outdoor open shower and toilet, as well as a swing and fire pit. They were even making brick oven pizzas, which was the perfect end to the day! Hope to be back soon!!

Beautiful Vermont
We camped in the farthest off site as there was a Halloween party happening that night. It was a lovely view, but you probably need to be driving a pick up or suv to get up there. Host was very nice, we enjoyed our stay and would stay again!

So glad we found this place!
One of the best places we’ve camped. Views were AMAZING, Mike was so nice, just a perfect getaway. Very quiet, lots of space for my kids to run around. They loved the rope swing and seeing the chickens run around. It was truly perfect for us, and had everything we needed.

Such an awesome getaway!
Mike was such a great host and his property is stunning. When we arrived we were first greeted by his chickens, which was so awesome! He has a great area for us to set up camp, along with a picnic table, chairs, and a fire pit all next to a lovely pond. We were able to get a whole wheel barrow of wood for $12 much better then a lousy 4 pieces of wood for the store. Mike was very welcoming and accommodating, we would totally stay here again!
