Great view, privacy was great. Definitely need a car with good ground clearance to get up to the site. Nice place to unwind and enjoy the view.

Secluded Bliss with Stunning Views
My stay at Michael’s Hipcamp was hands down the best car camping experience I’ve had! The location was stunning, right next to Arlington State Park, and even after the peak of the leaf-turning season, the fall colors were unbeatable. The site offered convenient access to Bennington and Manchester for that small-town vibe, but you could easily disconnect and enjoy the peacefulness of Michael’s property.
The farm was easy to find, just off a main state road, and the camping site was clearly marked. Accessing the site is a breeze if you're an experienced offroad driver or have a 4-wheel drive vehicle. I recommend this site over others because it's more tucked away, situated at the top of the hill, with a fantastic view of both the property and the neighboring mountains.
Additionally, Michael was an extremely friendly host who clearly takes a lot of pride in his property. It's wonderful that he's opened up his farm for others to enjoy. The care he puts into maintaining the site really shows, and it made the experience even more special. I’d love to see his farm thrive, and I look forward to staying here again in the future!
This spot is perfect for nature lovers who appreciate a bit of solitude. However, I wouldn’t recommend it for those who dislike being without modern amenities or are not fond of the outdoors. That said, you’re not entirely isolated; with towns nearby, it’s the perfect balance between remote camping and staying close to civilization. Absolutely worth it!

Mike was very nice and gave us a couple hike suggestions in the area! We loved the chickens wandering around and the spot was great for tents too.

Great stay in your cabin, Mike. Tnx
Great camping site, Mike, thanks. Wanted to do a final campout when most state parks were closed. Stayed in MIke's cabin, two great beds, drove in and parked our camper nearby for water, cooking/making coffee. Sleeping bags for a cool night, sat looking up a small valley into great fall foliage. Outhouse nearby. Shaftsbury location is super. Stopped and did Robert Frost museum and hiked 2 miles on trail there. Great sandwiches at deli on RT 7A.

Beautiful property! We camped right under the big pine tree with a gorgeous view of the mountains in the background. Host was very nice and accommodating. Simple and scenic.
