We live on a picturesque 82-acre farm in North Stonington, CT located near many serene natural areas. Pachaug State Forest, Ell Pond Preserve, and the Westerly, RI beaches are all within a 20 minute drive from us. Our land is secluded and rural, offering a respite from the hubbub of city life. We have a spring-fed pond on-site and the majority of our land is heavily forested. With very low light pollution, the night sky on our farm is breathtaking.
*PLEASE NOTE: We do not normally meet guests upon arrival, but if you’d like us to, please let us know and we will do our best to make ourselves available. The farm is our private residence and we do not offer tours to guests for insurance-related reasons. Thank you for considering camping with us!

A third generation tree farmer regenerating this property to keep it as a land sanctuary for humanity and wildlife to thrive in harmony.
This is a project of my brother and I, to create a healing center / space for people to come connect with the land.
***We are not part of the winery adjacent to our property***
We keep the land as wild, minimum maintenance/ human disturbance as possible.
We have just built a deck to put a yurt on site for healing sessions. I am a cranial sacral therapist and did my yoga teacher training in India, taught in India, Australia, Hawaii, now RI! If you are interested in sessions please reach out to me.
I host women's gatherings here on the land as well as seasonal celebrations (solstice and equinox). Creating common unity.

All money through hipcamp and visionary fund goes directly towards the land... Regeneration, planting, maintaining, taxes and future projects awaiting to be funded! Thank you.

The Sandbox campground was born from The Sandbox Indoor Beach Sports and Events facility, which mainly focuses on providing year round beach volleyball.
We bought the property in 2015 and opened the facility in 2019.
As it happens, it's a 12+ acre lot surrounded by wetlands, hiking and biking trails ... there will never be another building built within view of our facility.
We are surrounded by nature, and will be forever.
So what a great opportunity to offer camping and access to all of the forests, woodlands, wetlands and trails around! And if you're up for it, come play some beach volleyball and meet new lifelong friends :)

This site is large and private with dozens of unique features and details that make spending time here so delightful. The treehouse was stocked with books, games, led light fans, bug spray, and a refrigerator. From the screened porch we saw so many birds flying over the lake. We enjoyed a walk through the forest and saw a family of turkeys! Outside there is a fire pit, charcoal grill and gas grill. It was very hot so we didn’t get a chance to use these. The host was helpful with our initial questions, and the only thing we would have changed was the 90 degree weather! This site is a short drive from Mystic and Westerly with great restaurants and shops.

Communication with Scott was great and the site felt private. The site really is a large area in the woods that has been cleared. The underbrush was quite thick in places which was fine for me because I was in a camper/trailer, but I imagine would be a bit uncomfortable if sleeping in a tent. We were just passing through and the site met all of our needs for the night!

I had a great time camping on Emma's farm. There's a raised platform with a roof to put up my tent. The pond was very beautiful. There's a nice and very clean out-house.

Perfect if you just want to get away for an easy weekend away. Plenty of stuff to do within 10 minutes of the site, my friend and I spent the better part of the weekend fishing. The provided fire pit and chairs are nice, plenty of wood around the property to make a fire, and it was cozy and comfortable. The site could be cleaned up of some of the less desirable vegetation (lots of thorny vines and plants) but other than that I have no complaints.

Just got back from a wonderful two night stay at Getaway Ranch. Karyssa was a wonderful host who provided us with wood for the fire ring our first night and quick responses to any questions we had. The Overlook site was great, we had plenty of spots to choose to pitch our tents. We enjoyed the view of the river from the stone bench and had great meals and conversation around the table and campfire. The dogs absolutely loved their time here with plenty to explore and we loved having them with us. We also enjoyed the peace and quiet and falling asleep to the sounds of bull frogs and waking up to beautiful birdsongs. We are definitely going to come back again.

The Yurt Campsite was perfect for a camping girls’ trip to celebrate my daughter’s 11 birthday.
She especially loved the hammock near the river. Karyssa was very accommodating and was quick to answer any questions we had, even bringing special fire color packets to make the fire magical for the birthday girl. The set up of tents, air mattress, and fire made it easy for inexperienced campers like us.

Overview
About
Pachaug is Connecticut’s largest state forest, clocking in at twodozen acres. Oh wait, excuse us, two-dozen-thousand acres! That’s 24,000 for the non-bakers here. Long story short, it’s going to take a loooong time to explore this whole place.
Pachaug is derived from the Indian term meaning bend or turn in the river. Unsurprisingly, the Pachaug River is one twisty son-of-a…headwater, probably. Anyways, this makes for excellent boating and the fish seem to like it too, if you catch our drift. And why wouldn’t they? This place is something else.

I'm confused by this because I haven't went to this place nor set anything up in the app to go anywhere. Is this an error?

This campsite is under the Connecticut DEEP and requires a permit. You will get a ticket if you do not have a permit. Primitive lean to site with fire ring and lean to but no other amenities. No picnic table and no toilets.
