Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.
Camp and hike in wooded seclusion in Western Massachusetts, where numerous old stone walls and overgrown cart road (as well as some ancient building foundations) trace the paths that New England farmers once walked. This land has been in the family for almost a hundred years, and has never been explored by treasure hunters; it remains as pristine as it was since the trees began to fill in the abandoned fields. My thirty acres is attached to the family's estate, which is eighty acres in total. PLEASE NOTE: The campsite is not accessible by vehicle; you must park and walk in to the woods -- the "verify entrance" portion of the Hipcamp website does not list this as a selection. You will need to leave your vehicle in the parking area just off the driveway.
if you're just looking to pitch a tent behind your car for the night, this has been an option for people in the past who were traveling and wanted a safe space to sleep as an alternative to having to book a hotel/motel).Follow the old cart road beside the stone wall into the woods, where you will discover the pine grove, with ancient twisting trees; this is the perfect site to set up your tent, surrounded by rambling stone walls. You will experience Nature without the intrusion of civilization, and still be within a half hour car ride to Springfield and Holyoke. Camping on this land is very rustic; there are no amenities other than what you bring. Also, please note that it is not possible to drive into the woods; vehicles must be left in the parking area at the edge of the woods. "Car camping" is an option if this is your preference; we've had people drop a tent beside the vehicle as a peaceful, safe and inexpensive alternative to renting a hotel room.
