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.

Northern Vermont peaceful farm

I really enjoyed camping with my rpod 179 on Sonya’s farm. It is late fall and being able to hook up to power has made it very comfortable even with the temperatures in the 30s outside. I was able to take a gentle hike around the property and loved talking to Sonya and her husband. On a clear night the stars are amazing here. I hope to return to this peaceful farm.

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!! :)
