The Cleveland farm has been in the family for 7 generations! It's nestled in the heart of Vermont ten minutes from the quaint town of Randolph. We currently have 3 alpacas, 24 chickens, 2 kids, 2 dogs and 1 cat that thinks it's a dog. We grow a lot of our food, heat our home with wood we sustainably harvest, and build memories with children all on our farm. Learn more about this land: Pitch your tent, camper van or small camper trailer in our beautiful meadow located on a back road in Vermont. AWD or 4WD is required to park at the upper field. We can help transport you and your gear via our side by side up on the hill as needed so you can park in our easily accessible parking right off the town road. Enjoy a slower pace at our small family farm with alpacas and chickens. 10 minutes from beautiful quaint Randolph where you can catch a show at Chandler music hall or local drive in theater, play frisbee golf at the park or grab some delicious grub and libations from our many local eateries and breweries like Bent Hill just up the road to check out! Explore the outstanding local biking and hiking trails, fishing and much more nearby! (Let us know what your interested in and we will make you feel like a local) When a camper cancels a reservation we will now be keeping 20$ of it, no matter how many days ahead you reserve. It is to pay for upkeep expenses and the hip camp fees they charge. To be clear we will return all costs except 20$. Thank you for your understanding.

J.Lynn was very helpful and accommodating. I stayed at Heart of Vermont after other plans fell through. I sent a request late at night and they accepted my request for that night. They met me, guide us (my gf and I) to the site, gave us an orientation, and even gave us recommendations on places to set up our tent. The area was pleasant and the ground was soft and not rocky. It was a great experience and a huge lifesaver!

Site 1 pond site

This was a cute spot with a great little town. They have 2 sites and we would like to return someday and try the other site. The little pond had tons of frogs our daughter loved to watch which was fun and kept her busy. It did however increase the amount of mosquitos because it is a tiny still pond. I recommend coming here but things to remember would be bring an ax and tarp for firewood. The ground was wet and the wood was left for us and was barely usable by nightfall after being on the wet ground by the time we arrived later that night. It was also large and we couldn’t cut it down (are fault for not bringing the tools but we just weren’t expecting cut tree limbs when we paid for firewood). They did have a dog that came to the site and wood stand growling and barking at us. This isn’t a problem but our daughter is afraid of dogs so that was hard for us.

This was a lovely camping spot. We spent two nights with our dog and it was very peaceful. Nice flat space to set up your tent and big fire pit. The hosts were super nice. We would definitely stay here again.

We had reservations at the hill and ordered eggs, firewood and alpaca fur. That night turned out to be a terrible rainstorm and we decided not to camp. But we did go to the site to collect eggs and alpaca fur and make some coffee for the drive to get out of the rain. The hosts were fantastic - took us up to the spot to see the amazing view while we enjoyed our coffee and ended up having a lovely chat. We also got to meet the animals. They were so kind - they gave us a refund for the site and just charged us for the eggs and generous bundle of fur. We would definitely stay there another time!

This is an exceptionally beautiful spot located just minutes outside of Randolph. The host and family are incredibly kind and welcoming. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here and will be back soon. Buy the eggs, they are amazing.

We loved our time here! The very private tent site is tucked into the edge of the woods with a great view across the meadow to the mountains. Hosts were very gracious in making sure we had all we needed. We purchased fresh eggs and wood from them and both were enjoyed during our stay. We delighted in the farm animals and sights and sounds of birds, butterflies, fireflies, and the starry night. We will be back!
