Three creek-side tent sites and an RV site in an enchanted forest! Enjoy well maintained walking trails, hidden treasure boxes, scavenger hunts, gnome hide and seek, and learning about a working shiitake mushroom farm! All sites are spaced out for maximum privacy - see map! Each site includes a large propane grill, fire pit, solar string lights, tables and seating, hammocks, critter proof boxes for food, and firewood available for purchase (conveniently located at the site). Clean composting toilet (serviced 2x a day). Rental items include tents (we will set up for you), sleeping pads, coolers with ice, potable water jugs, and insect screens. Within a couple miles of Southern Revere Brewery/Winery and scenic Forrest Green Farm. There is a lot to do on the property: * 40 acres with a couple miles of trails you can hike or bike (map provided) * Self-guided tour of mushroom farm * Hidden creature scavenger hunt * Gnomes are hidden throughout the forest for you to find AND hide! * Hidden treasure boxes - take something and/or leave something!

I loved it here! The campsite was so cute and quiet and had everything we needed and more! And it was really nice to be able to walk around the property and see the mushroom farm!

I loved how well maintained the site was! The grill and cooking accessories were very helpful! The bathroom was very clean and all other campers were respectful! The site was beautiful, and it was wonderful walking around the mushroom farm! The host was very responsive and helpful!

Phantom Hill
Waterthrush at Phantom Hill was a lovely weekend getaway with nature. The site had great seating, fire ring, table, comfy hammocks, and a grill for meals. The farm trails were full of sweet surprises including the self guided tour of the mushroom farm. The shared outhouse was close but not too close. This Hip Camp spot is just as described with hidden treasures.

Private Forest Camper Retreat
BEST Camping Experience!
We had the pleasure of staying at the Hummingbird campsite and the whole experience was absolutely incredible! We had 17 family members staying here and as soon as we pulled up to the campsite, we were in awe of the beauty of the forest, the amount of amenities for us to use (hammocks, chairs, tables, plates/utensils, tree swing!), the thoughtful welcome basket with s’mores and farm map, and PRIVACY! It is so rare to find a campsite so private and yet have everything you could need! My 70 year old parents came along and they so appreciated the RV to sleep in at night and commented on how surprisingly comfortable the bed was. There were plenty of spots for the rest of us to pitch tents and we found having the grill and RV stove to use for dinner made dinner a breeze. The kids loved the swing and seeing the shiitake mushrooms! Kathryn has thought of everything and is such a superb host! Directions were very clear, she was so easy to communicate with and always very quick to respond to any questions. We are so thankful we found this quiet spot to spend time in nature and our only regret is that we didn’t book it for longer. My sister and I actually checked to see if the following night was available (it wasn’t) because we knew our families could use more time here. After camping, we hit up the local brewery only 5 minutes away which was fantastic! We’re already planning a return visit! Thank you for a truly wonderful experience, Kathryn! We can’t wait to return.
