Tentrr is your private camping experience. We connect adventurers like you with private landowners who want to share their land so you can experience new places.
“A fantastic place to stay for a group of four friends who don't see each other enough and wanted to spend some safe outdoor time together! There was ample space to park our cars and set up our own tents; everything promised by Tentrr was there and in good condition; and the owners even provided a bunch of wood for us to make a merry campfire with. There were extensive trails to walk, a babbling brook & waterfall as promised, some cows, a meadow for stargazing... really everything you might need in a campsite. I would absolutely come back.
Our one complaint was that it was very hard to find -- the address in the confirmation e-mail leads you to the wrong place. Changing the address to something closer, including a GPS coordinate to the head of the dirt track in the confirmation e-mail, and/or adding a single sign would fix the issue immediately.”
“Maple Corner Farm is just a wonderful place, full of little trails and endless things to explore. We stayed for a couple of nights with the leaves at their best, and it was really beautiful. The site is down a track (not clearly marked, but not hard to find with a bit of effort) and opposite a large field, which was being cut for hay while we were there; there's lots of room for kids to run about, or to do some absolutely amazing stargazing at night. It was our first time using Tentrr, but we couldn't have been happier. Complete solitude, lots of firewood stacked right at the site, water delivered every day; after our rookie error, Dave even kindly came down to jump start our car early one morning. We'd come back in a heartbeat.”
“This farm is amazing and beautiful, and I can't recommend the location highly enough. The site was fully equipped with all of the tentrr stuff, which was all functional and exactly as we expected. But I want this to be a helpful review, so I'm going to share info about us and our experiences to help you make the best decision for your group. We are a family of four (mom, dad, kiddos aged almost 6 and almost 3) and this was our first return to camping as a family (adults have camped before - but only without kiddos, and only in the summer). I say that at the outset because our limited camping skills/equipment and kids' ages had a lot to do with what were the challenges in an otherwise incredible weekend.
First - the farm and the area is absolutely gorgeous. There are easy and beautiful trails to hike through the woods (and an opportunity to see how maple syrup is harvested now!), a waterfall, and a swimming hole. The hiking was perfect for young kids - not to steep or challenging, with fun rocks to scramble around on. The adjacent meadow offered open space for EXTRAORDINARY star-gazing. We had clear nights and my kids saw the milky way for the first time.
Totally consistent with tentrr's whole thing - we were totally alone in the camp site. When we wanted to buy some maple syrup, we got in touch with the super-responsive camp-keeper and came up to the farm. He also got us extra firewood when we needed it. My kids LOVED it, and they want to come back when it gets warmer (and so do we). When we were warm, it was pretty magical.
Here were the things that were challenges for us, and I say this so others can plan a bit better. Again, we are ill-equipped rookies, so take this all with a grain of salt.
- The air mattresses leaked overnight - especially the one on the top bunk. There were pumps in the tent, but by the end of the night, my husband could feel the boards and my 5 year old kept rolling into him. We brought lots of blankets, but we didn't account for heat loss on the mattress sides of our bodies, so the mattresses were both super cold (but maybe this is a big summer perk?) and deflating.
- We couldn't keep the tent stove lit and throwing heat for more than 90 minutes. It was cold the nights we were there (38 and 34 degrees). We had to get up to keep re-lighting the fire. If you're going to do this, BRING YOUR OWN FIRE-STARTERS OR FATWOOD. It will make the process easier. If it had just been the two of us, we would have had a snuggly but chilly night, but we were on separate bunks with little kiddos who we were trying to keep warm. If you have great sleeping bags (we didn't - but we will next year) this may not be a problem. For us, without warm enough sleeping bags and with two little kids, it was a rough night. Rough.
Tentrr may want to invest in much more robust air mattresses or also provide a firm board bottom (so you're not feeling the cross-beams) so people can use sleeping pads if they want. This isn't the camp-keeper's fault, though, so I'm not removing stars - I just want other families/campers to be aware. If it's going to be cold at night, plan to bring blankets to insulate under your body as well.
- The camp-keeper provided plenty of water to the site. Thank you! The water had a really strong plastic taste, though. A stainless-steel container might be an improvement.
Again though, the positives here outweighed the negatives, which were really due to nature (cold September nights), our not having the right equipment (insulate under your body too!), and a possible skill deficit (though I'm not sure it's possible to keep that tent stove lit for much more time based on internet research).”
“My family of 5 had a lovely time! The trails, waterfall, and swimming hole were perfect for my 3, 8, and 10 year olds. We needed to reset and reconnect and Maple Corner Farm was perfect for that. Thank you David and family!”
“Maple Corner was excellent.
The owners were very friendly and welcoming. We were greeted on the road by their farm and escorted to the campsite. They brought us plenty of fresh water and had a huge pile of firewood. The campsite was nicely shaded most of the day (some sun in the late afternoon). It felt very private and secluded and quiet. The field next to us was fun for the kids to run in, the swimming hole is close by and fun. The water was quite chilly since it's natural brook water, but very clean and refreshing. Our kids jumped right in. We took hiked through the Maple bush to their waterfall which took 20 minutes or so (not difficult and well marked). We even got farm fresh maple syrup for our camp pancakes.
If you want to get away, stay near camp and just relax in nature, then this is a perfect location. We would go back.
Parking right at the site made it easy. The tent was good as well. bunked queen air mattress beds.
The "TentRR Loo" was interesting. Especially with 4 kids. (glorified 5-gallon bucket) Not our favorite part but that's camping and it had nothing to do with this location as all sites have this bathroom solution. TentRR tables, benches, Adirondack chairs, and tent were great.”
“We had a two-night stay at this lovely and secluded spot. There was access to hiking trails and a swimming hole right on the property. We also embarked on a few outside adventures, including one to the Becket Quarry and a couple of others to Trustees of Reservations properties. Thanks to Campkeeper Dave, his wife Jess (expecially for the trail map), and daughter Lilie (for settling us in). It was just the respite we needed!”
“It’s a beautiful and isolated spot. This was basically glamping- everything was set up when we arrived, including a a lot of water, a toilet, air mattress bunk beds, the large canvas tent, multiple tables, and a fire pit with tons of wood! The land owner came by at the end to take our trash and we enjoyed chatting with him. We would highly recommend this (even for a young family, we went with our 3
Year old!). The swimming hole is right down the dirt road too!”
