This beautiful, historic property was one of the first to be settled in the early 1800s. The credited first settler in Charleston, Vermont; Abner Allyn and his family owned this farm for 100 years! Our family began restoring the farmhouse as well as beginning a small regenerative farming operation in 2022. Currently we have a small flock of broilers and layers, turkeys, ducks and guineas. Our birds are fed an organic feed local to Vermont and are pasture raised. Freya is the Great Pyrenees about the farm. She protects the flocks from predators. She is a working dog and has access to the entire property. A sweet brook meanders through the property which all sites have access to as well as stunning views of bald mountain. Lovely farm views throughout the seasons. Multiple trails for exploring can be found on and off farm. Trailheads to multiple mountains are within a few minutes of campsites. Lake Willoughby is a short 4 miles away, 7 miles to Island Pond, as well as endless hiking, biking, fishing, canoeing and more.

1976 Airstream Farm Site

We had a lovely stay on the farm! The airstream was clean and cozy, Sonya and Jason were kind and lovely to talk to, and their dog made for wonderful company. We would definitely stay here again!

Roadside pull off site

It was a fine spot. Had a fire pit and several areas to put you yet but it is right off of the road so you can hear the cars and see headlights at night. Some of the spaces for a tent would easily be seen from the road too. But other than that it was okay.

1976 Airstream Farm Site

Sonya & Jason were wonderful hosts, as well as their dog (tasked with keeping the flock safe at night!) and cat which meandered around the yard. The Airstream was great, and provided a nice ground-zero while exploring Lake Willoughby and the Kingdom Trails. Taking some some tasty frozen chicken from their farmstand, was icing on the cake. 5-stars - would recommend!! :)

Roadside Pull off Reprieve

The night sky at Sonya's was incredible. I stayed up so late watching shooting stars and was lucky to cat h a clear night. I appreciate how close this site is to Seminal State Park and Lake Willoughby. It was close enough to Sonya and her family that I felt safe as a solo camper but far away enough that I knew I had privacy. The brook was pleasant to fall asleep to and this primitive site is well worth the cost.
