There are several options for setting up your tent. You will be the only ones at Fernwood, or Fernwood 2 unless we happen to be up working on the land.  No matter where you set up you'll have your own private fire pit, and level ground for your tent(s).  Come and enjoy a quiet retreat, or use Fernwood as a base for many outdoor activities-biking, fishing, hiking-all nearby.  Natchaug Forest offers great trout fishing.  Goodwin State Forest is less than 3 miles away by car where you can put in a canoe on Pine Lake, amble through the wildflower and pollinator gardens, or enjoy the Education Center and Museum. From Goodwin, you can access the Air Line State Park Bike/Hiking Path.  Hampton also has a general store that has simple food, frozen dinners that Kara will heat up for you, gifts, and awesome Ice Cream Sodas! ( https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100085946253543&mibextid=LQQJ4d )  If you want a change from all that nature, there is Sharpe Hill Vineyard less than 10 miles away, as well as We-Li-Kit IceCream less than 6 miles.  The route to either place will take you through beautiful scenic farmland.  We hope you enjoy our forest and the surrounding area as much as we do.

Very nice spot. It was fairly secluded, besides one house across the road, and very quiet. Fire pit was awesome and appreciated the option to buy more wood because we ended up needing more than we brought. Would definitely come back.

Fernwood was a great place to get away and relax in the woods! Can hike from camp in the nearby preserve. Firewood prepared and dry. A lovely trip!

Very quiet and peaceful. Loved listening to the horses and the donkey from then farm up the road. Very clean and well kept sites. Definitely recommend this place if you want to get away from it all. Upon arrival we unexpectedly met the owners and it was a great surprise. Alan and Joan are wonderful people and great to talk to. The porta potty was very clean and having firewood at the ready was great. Thank you for a wonderful and enjoyable experience camping on your land!
