Three creek-side tent sites and an RV site in an enchanted forest! Enjoy well maintained walking trails, hidden treasure boxes, scavenger hunts, gnome hide and seek, and learning about a working shiitake mushroom farm! All sites are spaced out for maximum privacy - see map! Each site includes a large propane grill, fire pit, solar string lights, tables and seating, hammocks, critter proof boxes for food, and firewood available for purchase (conveniently located at the site). Clean composting toilet (serviced 2x a day). Rental items include tents (we will set up for you), sleeping pads, coolers with ice, potable water jugs, and insect screens. Within a couple miles of Southern Revere Brewery/Winery and scenic Forrest Green Farm. There is a lot to do on the property: * 40 acres with a couple miles of trails you can hike or bike (map provided) * Self-guided tour of mushroom farm * Hidden creature scavenger hunt * Gnomes are hidden throughout the forest for you to find AND hide! * Hidden treasure boxes - take something and/or leave something!

I loved camping on Kathryn’s land!! Learning about the mushroom farm + the trails around the property was such a bonus. The site itself was so well equipped too, can’t wait to come back!!

Private Forest Camper Retreat
BEST Camping Experience!
We had the pleasure of staying at the Hummingbird campsite and the whole experience was absolutely incredible! We had 17 family members staying here and as soon as we pulled up to the campsite, we were in awe of the beauty of the forest, the amount of amenities for us to use (hammocks, chairs, tables, plates/utensils, tree swing!), the thoughtful welcome basket with s’mores and farm map, and PRIVACY! It is so rare to find a campsite so private and yet have everything you could need! My 70 year old parents came along and they so appreciated the RV to sleep in at night and commented on how surprisingly comfortable the bed was. There were plenty of spots for the rest of us to pitch tents and we found having the grill and RV stove to use for dinner made dinner a breeze. The kids loved the swing and seeing the shiitake mushrooms! Kathryn has thought of everything and is such a superb host! Directions were very clear, she was so easy to communicate with and always very quick to respond to any questions. We are so thankful we found this quiet spot to spend time in nature and our only regret is that we didn’t book it for longer. My sister and I actually checked to see if the following night was available (it wasn’t) because we knew our families could use more time here. After camping, we hit up the local brewery only 5 minutes away which was fantastic! We’re already planning a return visit! Thank you for a truly wonderful experience, Kathryn! We can’t wait to return.

Perfect Camping Experience!!
We had a wonderful experience camping at the Phoebe site! The additional seating, hammocks, space to prepare food, and the table were so nice to have! Our 8 year old daughter loved the rock painting, finding gnomes along the trails and re-hiding them for the next guest! Treasure box hunting was a big hit with her too! The host also allowed her to use the swing that was at one of the other sites before the campers arrived. She had the best time and even asked to buy a t-shirt for a souvenior. :) I enjoyed some time away from things in nature, learning a bit about growing mushrooms, and walking the trails. We had perfect fall weather while there. The property is well kept, has clean facilities, and plenty of privacy from other campers. We are already ready for our next visit to Phantom Hill Farm! Thanks so much!

Secluded Creekside Retreat
Amazing place to be in the nature
Kathryn and Chris were super helpful. Upon arrival to the area, I called Kathryn and she was so nice and clear with her information. Chris helped us to move our stuff to the camping area. It was absolutely a great experience to stay in the nature. I would love to go again with friends or family. Thanks Chris and Kathryn 🙏

Amazing Place to Stay
Kathryn’s Hipcamp was AMAZING!! We did not want to leave! She had everything you could ask for with primitive camping! The composting toilet was SO CLEAN, and just adorable! Our site, Waterthrush, was PERFECT! So secluded, beautiful views and we were able to have our dog off leash! We will DEFINITELY be returning!
