Getting Outdoors

Peoples State Forest is a mix of hardwood and pine trees that blanket over 3,000 acres of gently rolling mountains and hills. Farmington River meanders and serpentines along the western edge of Peoples State Forest, providing excellent trout fishing opportunities. On a quiet, misty morning, an early riser hitting the trails may find that hardy fishermen have beaten them to the outdoors. As the steam rises from the cool river, a fisherman, clad in waders, calmly and deftly flicks his rod. Tall maples and birches crowd the banks of the river, lush green in spring and summer. In autumn, the trees turn into a blaze of gold and ember.

Tom and Melissa were fantastic hosts - very communicable with quick responses. They even texted to check in with us once over the weekend to ensure we were satisfied and well equipped. The camper was clean and comfy - absolutely loved the outdoor kitchen and the kiddos enjoyed their own bunkhouse room! Beautiful camper leading to a perfect camping weekend with friends and family.

Emily was amazing! We had some last minute (unexpected) plan changes and she was very flexible and understanding. It was my first time car camping and that set up was easy and cozy, definitely accessible to first timers! Cannot recommend enough
