2 nights at Upper Shire Campsites Hudson Valley

Joanna’s sites are beautifully and thoughtfully laid out. The airstream was comfortable and fun to sleep in. Joanna was communicative and helpful. We saw turtles in the pond, a barred owl, lotsa birds and deer walked by too.

Weekend Trip to Magic Forest Farm

So, the place is BEYOND beautiful I mean just breath taking so spacious and relaxing me and my friends had a beautiful relaxing time and really enjoyed our stay the only reason i would question staying again if i have to leave an honest review would be the fact that this property has tenants below its made clear with signs in the house not to be loud due to prior complaints and in the description when booking but when paying $400 a night and driving 2-3 hours depending where you are from for a get away then you want to enjoy your weekend and not have to tip toe around also this place is huge and can easily accommodate 10 people but i think max is 4 due to that reason possibly? Seems like a waste of such a beautiful huge space essentially. Otherwise i mean its very nice place clean and well kept.

Weekend Trip to Moon In The Pond Farm

Very nice property, each site is very private. Be ready to walk your things to the site. Dom has wheelbarrows to help move things which is great. Great experience, the firewood is a nice big bundle. We loved the animals on the farm too. No tables at the sites but there are some nice stumps you can easily use as a table. Thanks Dom

1 night at Private campsites miles of trails!

Easy check in, spacious area, great fire pit, close to trails. Definitely would recommend! Getting to see the horses around was an added bonus :)

Weekend Trip to Blueberry Orchard By The Pond

Beautiful property with a lovely little pond and fire pit next to it. A trillion stars in the sky at night. I even saw a deer as I entered the property. Very kind owner and he is very responsive to messages. Highly recommended.

1 night at Wyomanock Farm

Had a great stay at Wyo! Thomas is a fantastic host and I had a wonderful night here. Highly recommend to anyone considering staying here!

Weekend Trip to Blueberry Orchard By The Pond

Very interesting spot! We car camped by the small possibly abandoned cabin? The blueberry bushes were awesome to see. Since we were here in winter there was snow and it was dead quiet. The pond frozen over. Perfect spot if you want some peace and quiet.

Weekend Trip to Blueberry Orchard By The Pond

Loved the privacy this site provided, even in the middle of winter with no foliage. Hiked at the frozen Glendale Falls that were only 15 minutes away.

1 night at Haines Falls Mountain Camping

Super cool campsite! Pretty easy to get there and was a perfect spot to camp before skiing the next day!

Weekend Trip to A Farm for All!

Host was accommodating and flexible, given the private site and unmarked. A brook runs thru the site making it tranquil if you can get a spot close. A quaint spot- will be back.

1 night at Private campsites miles of trails!

Christian was so friendly and helpful in showing us where to set up and even setting us up in a cozier spot since there was some super cold, windy weather! The farm is beautiful and waking up to walk around and say hi to the horses and ponies was so nice! We even explored the property for a bit before we left and it was beautiful! The stream was frozen and glorious and Christian kindly wished us safe travels and goodbye when we were on our way out! We hope to come back in the spring when we can do better exploring in the area! 10/10 would recommend Christian’s sweet farm!

Weekend Trip to Haines Falls Mountain Camping

Stayed here twice so far and had an absolute blast both times - very quiet with good privacy. I would recommend to any group looking to get out and hike the skills or go skiing nearby.

Weekend Trip to Lean-to spacious site.

Nice clean space. The site had fire pit, lean-to and far enough space to pitch in tent on ground. The host was very kind, and easy to communicate with and helped us with fire starter. There was fresh water to drink, and provided us with basic necessities. Definitely recommend.

Weekend Trip to Moon In The Pond Farm

Dominic is a great host and the camp site was perfect. I’d happily go back again.

Weekend Trip to Moon In The Pond Farm

The cabin at Dominic’s farm was beautiful and so peaceful! We had a wonderful stay. Lots to do in the area and close to Great Barrington.

Weekend Trip to Private campsites miles of trails!

Tent camping on Christian's farm was great! Site was clean and secluded. It felt like I checked out of the great race for the weekend. Area is beautiful, with tons of trails to hike all day right from the farm. Just a stones throw from Mt. Greylock- don't forget your Alltrails, or Google maps!

Weekend Trip to Wyomanock Farm

Perfect place to relax and soak in some nature. We stopped here on our way down south and had a perfect stay. Thomas was welcoming and responsive!

3 nights at Blueberry Orchard By The Pond

What a beautiful place to be! Entirely isolated, the farm was gorgeous and peaceful; a perfect place to camp and get away from it all. And John was super nice and responsive!

Weekend Trip to Private campsites miles of trails!

Great spot! Christian was very nice and helpful during my stay. I will camp here again.

Weekend Trip to Blueberry Orchard By The Pond

A nice quiet spot. John was quick to respond and we enjoyed our stay.

Wyomanock Farm

32 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents75 acres · Stephentown, NY

There is additional information and a very good campground map on the website www.wyofarm.com. Our 75 acres is a wonderful, diverse mix of habitat, harmoniously integrated with our small farm. This land was the homestead of the very first non native settler of the area, John Wiley, in 1787. Before that, it was the land of the Mahican native Americans. They named it "valley of the butternut trees", or Wyomanock. The Wyomanock Creek is the backbone of this little valley. Beaver have dammed the creek at several points to create ponds and other wetland features that support a diversity of wildlife including otter, moose and a myriad of birds, from osprey to herons. This sanctuary is host to many uncommon native plants and plant communities. We would love to share it with you! Your host, Thom, invites you to property to explore 75 acres of meadows, woods and water. Choose one of several sites either in the woods or open areas. You are also free to use our outdoor solar shower or take a dip in the cold pond or artesian spring fed pool. Our location is convenient to the Berkshire Mountains, state parks, hiking and other attractions, including Ramble Wild tree to tree adventures and Jiminy Peak. There are a few miles of rail trail access just down the road.

Moon In The Pond Farm

5 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents35 acres · Sheffield, MA

Well off the beaten track, it's scenic, private and peaceful. Camping at Moon In The Pond Farm is a little bit of heaven. There are six separate sites to choose from. All are in separate, different locations around the farm, so you have your own secluded spot to enjoy. (Though you may be sharing a field next to our Scottish Highland cattle!) Two are tent sites: the PondSide and the FieldEdge. There's one site for small/tiny RVs or Campervan. There's the BellTent--a bit of "glamping". And finally there's the HiddenCabin--a bed a roof and convenience. Each has a firepit with a small grill to cook over the fire. (all firewood provided) Our campsites are located in quieter areas of the farm. One overlooks the pond, three others are under the trees on the edges of different farm fields, one is a cabin nearer the farmstead. All require a beautiful, bucolic trek of 150-350 yards from the roadside parking--ensuring the quiet, natural experience. During the day times, you may see or hear farm work. At night it's lusciously dark and serenely quiet. You'll hear owls hoot, frogs croak, crickets chirp, foxes yowl and coyotes howl! In June and July the fields and trees light up like Christmas with fireflies, and you'll see the stars. During the week is the absolute best time--the local hot spots (or cooling down spots!) are much quieter, and all our campsites have reduced weekday rates. If you can, take advantage by adding a Thursday or Sunday night to a weekend stay. Wanna hike? We've got an awesome, easy hiking trail on adjacent Nature Conservancy preserved land. It meanders through woodlands, around rock ledges, through wetlands (on a 600' of boardwalk) and ends at a beautiful stream and pond with a gigantic beaver dam. Not far from here are numerous well-marked hiking trails (including the Appalachian Trail (with famous Bash Bish Falls) and several offshoots (Sage's Ravine, Race Brook Falls), Bartholomew's Cobble, Umpacheenee Falls, and others). Also in the neighborhood are opportunities for canoeing, kayaking, swimming, rock climbing, off-road, gavel-road and country-road biking, snowshoeing, cc skiing and pretty much any outdoor activity/adventure opportunity. Or... you can just chill and relax, sleep, or read the day away! Love food? This is Farm-to-Table for real! Never so close--the table's AT the farm!! Bring your cooking gear and get some of our wicked fresh organic food--veggies, chops, sausages, eggs, bacon, granola, yogurt, etc. Sear yourself up a real treat! Very nearby, as the Berkshires is an alternative cultural mecca, there are also numerous entertainment opportunities from many great restaurants to art, dance, music, spas, galleries, antique shops, museums, cafes and much more. It's still amazingly quiet at the farm where the Milky Way is clearly visible.

Hickory Ridge

1 site · RV, Tent85 acres · Deerfield, MA

Our property is 85 very private acres with an open field surrounded by forest and open wooded area with many trails. The forest is very diverse including some old growth maples and birches, as well as hemlock and pine trees. The campsites are at the edge of the field set back into the woods. I have recently added sand and gravel to improve drainage since the heavy rain we have had last year. We have a portable composting toilet outhouse and a hot outdoor shower. Feel free to explore all of the trails on foot or mountain bike. You may see some turkeys or deer out there. There is a small pond with lots of frogs and salamanders near the camping area, and a few seasonal streams on the property. You can hike a one mile loop on our newest trail. It is medium difficulty because of the hillside it is built on so hiking boots are recommended unless you are on a mountain bike. Rock walls built in the mid 1800s circle the property almost entirely so the borders are easy to see. The Deerfield river is a few miles away where you can fish for trout or go for a swim or kayak. The Connecticut river and the green river are about 15 minutes away as well. We have tubes, a canoe, and a kayak that are available to rent for some floating! Historic Deerfield village and Yankee Candle store and factory are about 10 minutes away. We are about 20 minutes from Northampton and Amherst.
