Palm Beach

Camping at Palm Beach was amazing. Super calm and clean. The space was more than big enough and the water was so calming. Will definitely come back again!!

Lovely little base camp

Beautiful large open field, hosts are very welcoming and give you the freedom to set up wherever you’d like. We set up a tent and pop up right by the fire pit and was generally flat but there are some dips in the grass. Wish we had a day just to explore more of the trails and property. Janet and Tom are great hosts and make you feel at home and comfortable. The site is right by a road visible from the fire pit area however it is on a dirt back road and there was minimal traffic that we barely even noticed over the sounds of wildlife that surround you in the field.

Old barn site

Awesome spot right near the road so great for trailers. The road has little traffic so that wasn't an issue at all. There are guinea hens right next to the site that are talkative during the day but quiet down at night. The stars are so beautiful and there are tons of trails to explore. Our dog loved exploring and romping around in the stream. We'll definitely be back if we're ever in town

Janet and Tom were great hosts—so kind and generous! My friend and I biked in from Mass, and this was a great spot to rest overnight. The hosts have some beautiful land, and the campsite is amazing. I recommend taking a cold dip if you can. There is plenty of space to spread out, and it’s tucked back from the road. We will definitely be back and can’t wait to stay again!
