Three creek-side tent sites and an RV site in an enchanted forest! Enjoy well maintained walking trails, hidden treasure boxes, scavenger hunts, gnome hide and seek, and learning about a working shiitake mushroom farm! All sites are spaced out for maximum privacy - see map! Each site includes a large propane grill, fire pit, solar string lights, tables and seating, hammocks, critter proof boxes for food, and firewood available for purchase (conveniently located at the site). Clean composting toilet (serviced 2x a day). Rental items include tents (we will set up for you), sleeping pads, coolers with ice, potable water jugs, and insect screens. Within a couple miles of Southern Revere Brewery/Winery and scenic Forrest Green Farm. There is a lot to do on the property: * 40 acres with a couple miles of trails you can hike or bike (map provided) * Self-guided tour of mushroom farm * Hidden creature scavenger hunt * Gnomes are hidden throughout the forest for you to find AND hide! * Hidden treasure boxes - take something and/or leave something!

Forest Oasis with Creek Pool
We spent two nights at the Waterthrush site and had a fantastic time. The site setup is unparalleled, we've never seen a campsite like it! Everything functioned well, there was plenty of space for our group, and there was good spacing between other campsites at the property. Our youngest camper loved all of the activities, and everyone was really interested in learning about the mushroom farm! I hope we'll come back very soon.

Secluded Creekside Retreat
Expect damp conditions as it is supposed to be for growing mushrooms but campfire will dry it up. The owner has set up the rain cover for us and that was really needed during the evening downpour. Appreciate it !!! Also the kitchen setup with gas grill was awesome. At night, I met with a mushroom fairy who said 'Come back' so will try.

Amazing mushroom heaven!
100000% coming back. The hosts were super welcoming and friendly. This camp site was so spacious, stocked with some kitchen utensils, beautiful fire pit area and a heavy metal box to put your food in for safe keeping. The mushrooms were so cool to look at, even had a few cooked into our breakfast! There are adorable little hidden items through out the walking areas, and small boxes of goodies left behind by other campers to look at. At camp Phoebe (and probably the others) there’s also a little guest book you can sign and read about others stay. They have a little shop with SUPER cute bags and stickers available for pretty cheap. Not to mention the compostable toilet/ outhouse is environmentally friends and really clean!!! 10/10 experience

We loved how every little detail was taken care of to make the experience unique, peaceful and enjoyable. We also enjoyed meeting the hosts as they were very helpful, friendly and kind. I recommend this place for whoever needs tranquility to recharge their mind and body.

Everything was great. Peaceful, fun, lots of things to do and explore. The mushroom farm and the trails for hiking and great for little ones. And the host made things super easy. We would love to repeat.

This was a great camp spot with everything we could have needed. It was a perfect adventure for our 4 year old, who loved the treasure hunt, rock painting, smores, and gnomes. The mushroom farm is very cool. We had plenty of privacy, and did not interact with campers at other sites, except if passing to use the outhouse- which was very clean and compost friendly. Our only complaint was that we could hear what was going on at the neighboring winery at night, including karaoke which I think ended around 9:00. Overall, though, we loved the place and so did our kiddo and pup.
