Bring your family & friends to camp at our quiet and very modest small farm. Located in backwoods horse pastures with chickens, a dog, and a couple of horses. The property is very spread out and there is an outhouse for all sites to us. Your pets are welcome too! Locally there are state parks with beaches, and state forest for trails and lakes, hiking and biking. Or you can just relax and enjoy the serenity! Other attractions include local farmers markets, Gilette's Castle, and the famous River Ferry crossing the Connecticut River with a vehicle across to East Haddam. We offer an hot H2O outdoor shower here for the comfort of out clients here. It is located on the back of main house in corner. See map in photos. We cannot allow any wood for camp fires to be brought in form the outside for environmental reasons. It can be pre-purchased for $12 per bundle on this site, or $10.00 cash here at farm.

Petite Cozy Cabin

First of all, Mary and Victor are very welcoming. As well as the two beautiful horses they have on the farm. Mary introduced herself right away. And made sure we had everything we needed when we got there. Victor came by shortly and explained the lay of the land to us. The property has a bit of everything you need. Freshwater, and outdoor shower and an outhouse. I had my 10-year-old son with me and he was immediately in love with both horses. And they were so sweet to him the whole time. We really enjoyed them so much. The cabin was cute, cozy and surprisingly warm on some chilly fall nights. It was very quiet the whole weekend, even though there were other campers on the property. This was our first experience with Hipcamp. We do go camping, all around Connecticut all spring, summer and fall. This was by far one of our best weekend trips this year. We are looking forward to coming back in the spring. Thank you to Mary, Victor, Sunflower, and Cha-cha for an excellent stay ❤️

Hidden Lake Woods Tent Campgrounds!

Lovely site, but no privacy.

The host was very nice and gave us some extra wood, but it would be nice if some how the sites could have some privacy. It is an open field in shouting distance to the other campsites. Perhaps some landscaping could break up the property a bit.

Park Your RV or Tent in our field!

Five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I booked this last minute for a midweek adventure to explore the Mystic Seaport area. Mary and Victor were fabulous hosts! Since it was midweek we had the place you ourselves. Site 2 was perfect for my Tentrax tent camper and my daughters tent. Lots of room, quite and private. The firewood bundles are double what you'd buy elsewhere and it's quality hardwood and needs very little kindling to get going. I will most definitely be beck and highly recommend!!!

Bucolic Farm,

A lovely quiet place. The tenting field was level and peaceful. There was a good cell signal there too.
