The meadow we occupy was once the farmers property that I grew up next to at my parents farm house.
When he wanted to sell his property he offered it to us for purchase at a fair price if we would not develop more than we needed to live here.
We maintained the meadow adjacent to our property and have kept it as an agricultural site.
We have had our son develop an edible forest garden and a unique diversified small orchard so we can eat and share healthy organic fruits and vegetables while helping our environment and wildlife and educating others to do the same.
It is expensive to live in Newtown but we love our property.
We want to teach others to grow food from their land while helping to support us keeping our adjacent property agricultural and undeveloped.
Our property has provided many happy gatherings and events and we love to share it with others.
Let us know if there is anything special we can help provide for you.
Come visit Mickleberry!!!

A trip to Hopeville Pond State Park is like walking through one big painting. You could look in any direction, prop up an easel and create a masterpiece, assuming you have mad painting skills. Bob Ross would tear this place up.The wooded shoreline enshrouds the pond like a secret garden, and the ambience gets even more goosebumps-inducing when an early morning mist lingers over the waters. Benches are scattered around the pond for you to sit and contemplate life while staring out at the serene landscape. You can fish here too, if that’s how you prefer to find your inner zen. Meditation comes second nature here, so plan a visit any time you’re feeling on edge.

If you were (or have) the little kid who had the toy train setup every holiday season, you’re going to go ballistic over this place. Rocky Neck State Park is home to some of the country’s finest train watching. Kick back on the Long Island Sound, watch the railroad cars roll by and try to guess how many there are until the caboose.Of course, there are a whole lot of other things to do in this beautiful area. The beach here rivals the best in Connecticut, with soft white sand that makes it ideal for swimming. If you get tired of watching trains, you can watch birds instead. Osprey, cranes, herons and mute swans all frequent the marshes. So how about it? All aboard to Rocky Neck!

Three Years of Campfires, Stories, and Friendships 🔥⛺
As I look back on the past three years since opening the campground, I’m filled with gratitude. What started as a dream has turned into something so much more thanks to each and every one of you who has stayed here, shared your stories, and brought your energy to this little piece of the outdoors.
I’ve had the joy of meeting people from all walks of life travelers passing through, families on vacation, solo adventurers chasing peace, and seasoned RVers with tales from the road. Whether you’re here for one night or one season, getting to know where you’re from, where you’re going, and the stories in between has been the most rewarding part of running this campground.
It’s not just about providing a place to park or pitch a tent it’s about building a community, even if it’s just for a weekend. The laughs around the fire, the kindness between strangers, and the shared love of the outdoors have made this journey incredibly special.
Thank you for being part of it. Here’s to many more years of connection, conversation, and campfire memories. 🌲
Sincerely, Ronald Markeveys

Hiking down the Blue Trail, you can’t help but feel good about the world. Wipe that smile off your face, we dare you. It’s okay, we know you can’t.The Blue Trail, which is by far the main area attraction, meanders over Cobble Mountain and several other peaks, crossing a handful of babbling springs and streams. The views of the Catskills and Taconics are downright gorgeous. And don’t even get us started on fall colors. So go have yourself a splendid time at Macedonia Brook.

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.

Natchaug State Forest is the scene of a wonderful fairytale. Once upon a time, there were two rivers that couldn’t stand to be apart. Finally, when it seemed like things would never change, they joined together in a beautiful forest in Connecticut and flowed happily ever after. At least that’s what we like to think.
In Natchaug Forest is where the Bigelow and Still Rivers join to form the Natchaug River, and the scenery here really isn’t far off from something in a fairytale. It’s common to see people galloping through the woods on horseback and there are even a few old stone structures. So let your imagination run wild and have yourself an adventure.

Private Farm Stay on 20 Acres in Connecticut
Stay on a 20-acre historic Connecticut farm, just a short drive from Hartford. Peacefield Farm features a 1749 Saltbox farmhouse at its center, along with a red barn, pond, hay and flower fields, woods, and a greenhouse.
This is not a campground. You will park in the hayfield among open fields that have been cultivated since colonial times. In summer, the greenhouse is hopping and the flower beds are in bloom; autumn transforms the woods and hayfields. At night, enjoy dark skies and the sounds of night birds, crickets, and bullfrogs from the pond.
Camping is simple: no hookups, showers, or guest toilets. RVs and campers must be fully self-contained, and guests are requested to leave the space as they found it.

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 :)

Loved this quiet wooded spot on the farm. Chris and Tiffany were welcoming and responsive to our questions. Fun to spend the afternoon in Mystic. Would definitely stay again!

I had a wonderful camping experience at Zichichi Family Farm! 🏕️🍁🍂
It was a peaceful and relaxing getaway, surrounded by nature and fresh air. The perfect place to escape the busy everyday routine, unwind, and enjoy the simple things in life.
I really enjoyed my stay and appreciated the opportunity to spend some quiet time outdoors.
Thank you to the host for sharing this beautiful property. I would definitely love to come back for another camping adventure! 🌲

We have a wonderful stay at Alan’s property! It was so peaceful and well kept. The fire pit was great with ample firewood provided and more available for purchase if needed. There was also a grill grate for preparing food. The portapotty was immaculately kept. It is clear Alan takes a lot of pride in his land and maintaining the trails etc. Lots of walking and exploring to do, both on his land and on the adjacent State Park land. Very peaceful and quiet. Alan was very kind to speak with. Highly recommend!

We were the only ones there. It was a great level lot for a nice grassy area. We ended up being too tired to take our solar stove out, but that would’ve been nice.

This site is very big (the road in not as much!) We made it fine with our 36’ coach and jeep toad. Nice quiet location and very private. Not much traffic on the road. Great for walks. We drove over to Mystic and stoped by the park at the sound- very pretty! Great location to explore around. North Branford was fun to visit also. Great spot for us!

It was tough getting our 32' rv level on his spot but once we got it all set it was wonderful, quiet, and relaxing. Getting there was easy and Max met us upon arrival and was the perfect host.

We stayed at Rick’s place overnight.He was a great host.Really nice property. It’s the kind of place we always look for secluded, in the woods. The site is huge. We have a 34 ft. RV & we were towing a car & we had plenty of room.We made the mistake of trying to exit via the first entrance & had to unhook the car & turn around & leave via the first entrance. So keep in mind if you have a big rig always use the first entrance to arrive & exit.Having a full hookup was nice. Hope to come back again when we can stay longer.Highly recommend.😸

Where to go
Litchfield and the Northwest
The sweeping woodlands and patchwork slopes of the Litchfield Hills afford some of Connecticut’s most enchanting views. This is the spot for fall foliage walks, leisurely bike rides, and trout fishing along the Housatonic River. Hop between the chocolate-box villages of Kent, Cornwall Bridge, and Litchfield; dine at farm-to-table restaurants; then park your RV or pitch your tent at Lake Waramaug State Park, Housatonic Meadows State Park, or Macedonia Brook State Park.
Fairfield and the Southwest
A ferry ride from Long Island and a short drive from NYC, coastal Fairfield fills up with weekending New Yorkers come the summer months. Check into a beachside cabin or seafront RV park at beach resorts like Stamford, Bridgeport, and Fairfield, or head inland to hike in the hills, admire the mansion houses and golf courses of Greenwich, or go glamping in the woods.
Hartford and Central Connecticut
While the state capital of Hartford is the biggest draw to Connecticut’s central region, pastoral farmlands, pretty villages, and state parks dot the banks of the Connecticut River Valley. The best camping options are in the state parks, whether you prefer a tranquil spot by the riverside in River Highlands State Park, boat-in camping at Selden Neck State Park, or exploring a medieval castle at Gillette Castle State Park.
Greater New Haven
Connecticut’s cultural capital and foodie hub, New Haven is famous for its prestigious museums, Yale University, and award-winning pizzerias. Hop between beach towns along the north shore of the Long Island Sound and you’ll find great family campgrounds, amusement parks, and sandy beaches, or pitch a tent right by the beach at Hammonasset Beach State Park. Further east, the white sand beaches of Rocky Neck State Park are a bird-watching hotspot, especially in spring.
Eastern Connecticut
You’ll find old-fashioned seaside resorts, and leafy country escapes in equal measures in south-eastern Connecticut’s Mystic Country. Once you’ve hit the beach and the seafront casinos, head inland to cruise the Thames River, drive the National Scenic Byway of Route 169, or fish and paddle at Mashamoquet Brook and Hopeville Pond state parks.
