We enjoyed our stay at Hilltop Tree Farm! The hammock, fire pit, and picnic table were great to have available. The tent itself and the bed were comfortable for our 2 night stay. The location is great, right near hiking trails and a local beach. We got to see a beekeeping demonstration from Blake which was a nice way to end our stay. Blake was friendly and communicative, making sure we had everything we would need.

We ended up getting stuck up north this winter and needed a place to stay in the RV. This ended up being a great safe spot to do so and on the good winter days we were able to visit the nearby beaches, especially Horseneck which is our favorite. We always felt safe and had enough privacy to be on our own. We were able to hook up our 30 amp plug to the side of the garage.
Winter 2026 was a rough one which saw two major snowstorms. Our vehicle always felt well protected.
Our host Tristan was always available when we needed to reach out via the Hipcamp app.
I can only imagine how nice this must be during the warm months. If you do stay, you’ll be able to visit many different beaches on a regular basis as there are so many close to the spot.
Tiverton is safe, clean and nice.
Highly recommend.

Overview
About
A Nomans Land Island camping expedition is like stepping into a time capsule, where history and nature intertwine in the most unexpected ways. Located in Dukes County, near the iconic Martha’s Vineyard, this island is a testament to the diverse chapters of Massachusetts' past. From its early days as the home to the Wampanoag Tribe to its time as a sheep grazing haven in the 1800s, the island has seen various transformations. Its role during World War II as a bombing range for the U.S. Navy adds another layer to its rich tapestry. Though camping near Nomans Land Island National Wildlife Refuge offers a chance to be close to this historical gem, it's essential to note that the refuge itself remains closed to the public. This is due to potential safety concerns and the island's value as a pristine habitat. But don't let that deter you!

It's not just about the thrill of outdoor adventures; it's about being close to a place that has stood witness to centuries of change. So, next time you're planning a camping trip, think of the stories you'll have to tell after spending time near the enigmatic Nomans Land Island.
When to go
The best time to engage with Nomans Land Island National Wildlife Refuge is during the migratory seasons, when an array of bird species can be observed from nearby vantage points.
