About this property

Lookout Camping Pod

A Solo 1-Room non-electric Pod Cabin for the forest loving adventurer who is looking for a quiet space in the woods to find peace. The Lookout Pod cabin is dedicated to a beloved Outdoorsman who was part of the Camp Earth Connection family. It sits on the edge of a hill looking over the wildlife ponds through a forest of hardwoods and pines. It has a single bed, a lantern, a small desk, and dresser. It is adjacent to miles of trails in the Hammond Hill State Forest. CEC and the cabins are an alcohol and drug free facility.

Access to hot showers, bathrooms ,high speed WiFi and other amenities at the main camp, a short walk from the cabin. The Lookout Pod is a unique and special wooden cabin for the solo outdoor adventurer. It has a rechargeable Lantern and fan, and for those who need to stay connected, WiFi is accessible on the deck and high speed WiFi is available at the main camp.

The Pod Cabins are a part of Camp Earth Connection (CEC), a small woodland campground, located on a beautiful parcel of land with 62 acres of forests and fields surrounded by the Hammond Hill State Forest. With just 18 cabins/campsites in total, each site is unique and offers different levels of privacy and solitude. Camp Earth Connection offers individuals and families a chance to connect with each other and nature in a peaceful beautiful setting. Alcohol and drugs are prohibited to ensure this peaceful atmosphere and to allow folks to find serenity through our natural environment.

At CEC we are environmentally conscientious and do our best to preserve the natural surroundings and natural resources. We incorporate composting and recycling into our daily routine. We understand the importance of reducing the amount of resources we use, and re-using and re-generating whenever possible.

Rainy, but good host

Good property, nice trails nearby. 1st time doing this alone at this place. Cabins well kept, host very organized and attentive to guests. Little cold but host offered extra blankets if needed. Overall nice place if you want some quiet time outdoors. Coffee/tea readily available. Host not available after 8pm.

Thank you for your review Dan. Unfortunately I can't control the weather, and it was pretty cold and wet this past weekend. Also, just to clarify, your host is available after 8pm for emergencies, but not necessarily available to help your get your fire started.

About the host

Host profile image
My life's work has included designing and implementing outdoor spaces and activities that are inclusive and anti-biased for families, children and adults to connect with nature and each other. Camp Earth Connection started as a children's camp and in 2015 evolved into a Woodland Campground & Retreat and Environmental Educational Center. Camp Earth Connection provides a welcoming space to all, with a warm welcome to individuals who identify as LGBTQ, as well as people from the BIPOC Community who may not have always felt safe in wilderness settings; And to all people who want to share a peaceful and amazing experience in nature.

Why they chose this property

Camp Earth Connection is a beautiful and serene camp, nestled in the middle of the Hammond Hill Forest. Your hosts Eshay and Druid(camp pup) will greet you when you arrive and give you an orientation to the camp to help you get acclimated. Camp Earth Connection(CEC) is a small campground with just 18 camp/cabin sites, plus adjacent to the camp, in Eshay's Forest, there are 3 additional cabins/cottages with full amenities. When you stay at CEC, you have the opportunity to camp at your comfort level (or challenge yourself with less amenities) and experience nature in the raw.

What makes this property unique

Between Memorial Day and Labor Day, Camp Earth Connection offers a free
Saturday Morning Campfire Pancake Breakfast.
