Electric - Concord Pond Site
Absolutely love this property! We stayed in the concord site with electrical hookups. The spots are big so we could bring our dog and tie her up outside with plenty of space. The river walk was awesome! Such a beautiful river and the walk back is a great way to get some exercise in while camping. Would love to stay again!

Red Site
Absolutely loved our stay here! We took a family camping trip and couldn't have asked for a better experience. The property was stunning, hospitality was fantastic and overall such an easy experience. We explored the property with our 2 kids and dogs and took the river trail down to the water. Everything about our stay was breath taking. Wide open space for our kiddos to be crazy and not feel like you're camping on top of the site next you. The property was extremely well maintained and felt like we were on a retreat.

Electric - Pond Site West
Amazing HUGE campsites! Gorgeous setting. Walk around barefoot. Private! We already booked several more camping trips. My new favorite place to camp. Professional grade fire rings with cooking grates, water at each site, and some with electric. A true gem. Almost don't want to leave a good review as I want to make sure there's spaces to rent!

Cedars
This was our second stay and the addition of water at our site (Cedars) really added a lot of convenience to the stay. The trees are all beautiful, and the site was far apart from others, and easily accommodated our group of three .18 to 30 ft. trailers. Barb was great checking on us, and Terry was also great showing off his bee hives. The area is far removed from the road and quiet, and we also had just a bar of cell service and data.

Absolutely gorgeous! One of our favorite spots on the property is the Red Site. This was our 3rd annual Memorial Weekend trip and we are for sure coming back a 4th. The serenity and beauty are so relaxing.

Shady Grove
We lucked out with the last available site for Memorial wknd, Shady Grove. This site fit our 25 footer perfectly. There was so much space and it is such a beautiful setting. The sites are all large and feel secluded. They could easily fit double or more the amount of campsites in the campground, but I love that they keep it minimal. Not only does it keep the grounds from being over trampled, but it was nice and quiet. Arrival/ checking in/ finding our spot was easy peasy! Barb was responsive to all questions prior to and during our camping there. Barb and Terry were very easy to talk to, helpful, and interesting (as we asked about the Christmas tree farm and Barbs art). Barb showed us her art gallery and we were in awe of her talent! We even purchased a few prints to hang in our camper and at home. The grounds are clearly maintained, mowed, and tree debri cleared regularly. There was no cell service, which is not a complaint. We will definitely be back!

We always enjoy our stay, no matter which site we choose. This time we were in yellow. Plenty big for our 30 foot trailer. Private and quiet. Amazing views. The water in the sites is a very welcome addition.
Barb and Terry are great hosts.

We love camping on Barb and Terry’s land. It’s our favorite place to camp. They put so much love into keeping their property so beautiful.

Always an amazing time staying at the Tree Farm. The hosts always check to make sure nothing is needed such as fire wood and always spark up a wonderful conversation. We love walking around the farm especially at night as there is always an amazing view of the stars! I would recommend finding them on Hipcamp and booking a trip!!

Electric - Pond Site West
This is probably my new favorite camp ground. The site is enormous and all grass so my kids ran around barefoot all the time with no issues. The hike down to the stream was lovely and the stream is amazing. Crystal clear water with a shallow part the kids could splash in but also deep enough to swim in the center. So peaceful and exclusive feeling.

Electric - Mimi's Pond Site
We had an amazing camping experience at the Arboretum! Mimi's Pond Site was beautiful and had everything we needed (and then some!). The location is idyllic, sitting on this huge Christmas Tree farm, it's quiet and serene, with so many fun places to walk and explore. This will be a place we come back to year after year. Also, Barb and Terry are wonderful hosts, both so friendly and excited to tell you about their gorgeous property.

Blue Site
I had an amazing experience at this campground! The grounds are impeccably maintained, creating a beautiful and serene environment that allowed me to truly relax and unwind. It was incredibly peaceful and quiet, perfect for a getaway from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. I also loved exploring the scenic trails around the camp area, which were great for walking and taking in the natural beauty. A delightful surprise was the local honey available on-site—an absolute treat! Overall, this campground exceeded my expectations, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a tranquil retreat in nature. Thank you Barb and Terry for being great hosts.

Our second stay!! We love this property and the hosts. The river was inviting on the 90 degree day. We laid out under the stars for an amazing show of shooting stars.
We will be back!!

We had an amazing stay. Each campsite is so spacious and you have lot of room between you and anyone else on the property. The sites were beautifully maintained. Barb and Terry were so accommodating. The surrounding mountains were spectacular on this trip. We will definitely be going back.

This place is absolutely dreamy!! The entire property is mind blowing. We were quite envious of Terry and Barb’s own little (actually quite expansive) world. Mimis Pond site was above and beyond what we expected. We walked the property several times and plan to come back and experience several of the camp sites. Every single site is enormous. Some more private than others but all gorgeous. Terry and Barb were very responsive and friendly. We had reserved Mimi’s Pond for 3 nights and Cedar’s for 2 but we got a little lazy after thinking about moving all our camp gear. Lucky for us Barb graciously arranged the change and we were able to stay put. We also stayed very late at the mountain for the super blue moon and night explorers program and Barb was understanding about us returning to the site very late. We hope we didn’t bother them contacting them a handful of times with questions or requests. We are already planning future stays and hoping to get the extended family at 3 to 4 sites next summer. Thank you Terry and Barb and thank you Mother Earth for all the beauty you provide.

I stayed in the Blue site - I loved that it was private and green. The huge grassy site is surrounded by a ring of trees. My favorite was the lovely mature apple tree! Not only will you not see your neighbors but you will have to go walking around to find out if you even have any. The site is so big that if you are worried about whether the site is "pull-through" be assured that this is more like drive around in a circle till you figure out where you want to land. Thank you for another peaceful weekend - I am already planning my next trip!

Once again, I had a lovely, peaceful, and magical time at the Arboretum. This is probably my 10th time staying here and it's by far my favorite Hipcamp spot. This property is just so chill and peaceful, with big open space, lots of room to walk, and is dog friendly. This was the first time I stayed in a spot with electrical hookups and Concord did not disappoint. And as usual, Barb was a wonderful host. She truly cares about her guests. Love it here!

Such a beautiful campground! We had our annual family campout and the coyote site was great grassy spacious area for our large family gathering. Only a few minutes to Mayfield lake for warm afternoon swimming. Barb and Terry's land is beautiful and well cared for and they were great to communicate with and during our stay. The check in process was smooth and we loved the little sample of honey provided.
