Sweet Song Acres

4 sites · RVs, Tents100 acres · NH

Sweet Song Acres is 100+ acres of secluded forest nestled along the Little Sugar River, at the base of Perry Mountain. Located in rural Unity, NH and Charlestown, NH, just across the Vermont state line. Southernmost point, located in Charlestown is one of two campsites. The other is Shady Grove, located in Unity. The two sites, located in bordering towns share the same entrance and are connected by a 1/4 mile trail. Both are very large sites. Campers would drive to both sites down a trail so we highly recommend a vehicle with decent clearance and 4WD or AWD. Southernmost Point is a fully drive-in site. Shady Grove campers park above the site and the campsite is down a short path, just a few hundred feet or so. The property consists of varied terrain of rock ledges, lush moss, streams, and panoramic views at the summit. There are many options of local outdoor activities in the area or if you prefer, just sit and "listen to the river sing sweet songs to rock your soul".

The best camping near Camp Plymouth State Park guide

Overview

About

Camp Plymouth State Park is rich with history. You can practically taste it in the air when you visit. Once upon a time, the area was occupied by a quiet little farm, where a small river by the name of Buffalo Brook was occasionally fished by the owner of the farm. Then one day he found gold and word got out. Buffalo Brook became Gold Brook, a mine opened up and the rest, as they say, is history. You can still pan for gold there today, so save yourself a trip out west if you’re an aspiring prospector.

In 1927 the Boy Scouts of America bought the land and built themselves a hefty outpost, giving the park its current name of Camp Plymouth. If Boy Scouts found this area attractive enough to settle in, you know it has first-rate outdoorsy fun. Whether you want to ride horses, hike until your toenails fall out (ew?), or fish in Buffalo Brook like the old farmer, Camp Plymouth is the place to do it.

When to go

The best time to visit Camp Plymouth State Park is during the summer months, when the weather is warm and all park facilities are fully operational. Fall also offers a spectacular display of foliage, making it a picturesque time for a visit. Winter can be harsh, and some amenities may be unavailable, so it's less ideal for those seeking the full park experience.

Know before you go

Check the weather forecast and dress appropriately for the season to ensure a comfortable visit.
Be aware of park operating hours, typically from 8:30am to 5pm, to plan your activities accordingly.
Some areas may have limited accessibility, so inquire ahead if you have specific needs.
Remember to pack essentials like water, snacks, and a first-aid kit for a safe and enjoyable trip.
Respect the park's natural habitat by following the 'Leave No Trace' principles during your stay.
