Private Forest Campsite

Nestled under the shade bequeathed by a tall canopy of deciduous trees and  alongside a gentle flowing brook, lies a forest opening perfect for immersing oneself in nature. 

From our parking area, our private campsite is a short walk (3-4 minutes) by way of a well maintained footpath which leads you alongside a farm pasture, to a wooded trail that empties on to a level forest understory ideal for your hammock or tent. Our campsite is equipped with the necessities:  a firepit with a removable grill, a table, your own private outhouse, and unlimited sights and sounds of nature. 

Trails leading from the campsite will usher you short distances to one of our best stargazing hilltops, to the shallow creek which runs alongside the campsite, through shaded forests and ridgetop views.  Our pond, a short 7 minute hike, offers fishing, swimming or simply relaxing on the dock.  For longer hikes, all trails connect to our larger network of maintained trails winding over hill and dale, through shaded forests and open (mowed) pasture trails offering the hiker farm-life views across our 80 acres.
