5.5mi from Wellington State Park · 3 sites · Tents · Alexandria, NH
Stonewall Meadows Farm is an 83 acre farm, surrounded by peace and quiet deep in the woods of NH. Our Hipcamp goal is to provide you with a refreshing, restorative, unplugged, rustic, experience in the woods. The miles of uphill, winding, dirt roads, finally bring you to this historic mountain property of local legend and myth! Just the journey is a scenic trip, especially in NH’s amazing fall foliage season! Come make some memories with us, become part of the journey to bring our vision for the land to life! We are rebuilding/re-pasturing the land, for a sustainable future of grass/tree based farming and secluded nature enjoyment. We have two sites, intentionally separated by trees, elevation, distance of 400yrds. We designed the sites to insure each space feels very private. Our first site is the very popular, much loved, dog friendly, Meadow View. We are excited to have opened our exclusive MT Top site! Both sites have a different style and are sure to excite the person looking to get outside. Read the detailed site descriptions and info sections for each site. We are open year round, with each New England season having special, unique things to offer. Summers are a no brainer with Newfound lake nearby, the hiking trails in the White Mountains, or hike direct to MT Cardigan from your campsite. Fall has spectacular foliage and perfect cooler temps to sit around the campfire drinking coffee/hot chocolate, snuggled up in a hoodie or under a blanket! Winter affords a pristine, beautiful, snowy landscape that is straight out of a Robert Frost poem! Winter activities include snowshoeing, winter hiking, and possibly snowmobiling down the local club maintained trail if open. Be advised to come prepared with good tires as we get SERIOUS winters and our remote, mountain location often requires 4wd to get up the TOWN roads to us, much less the farm roads. We raise chickens and Mangalista pigs! Try some of our farm fresh eggs/bacon, taste the farm fresh difference! Book a farm tour, there are always projects to see and stories to tell of the properties history, and future. We are always improving and building the land to better serve you. Hope to see you here soon! Message us with questions; we are happy to serve you! Thank you for visiting!
