You're getting a genuine New England woodland setting with mature pines, natural stone walls, and a real campfire, in a suburban neighborhood. Neighbors exist, occasional background noise is part of suburban life, and the house is off limits — but the campsite itself is your own private space. See the property and local areas on my YouTube channel - @wanderingnewengland. The site comfortably accommodates up to 4 guests and 2 vehicles.

Our driveway is located about 3 miles from the start of the Boston Marathon, 8 minutes from 495, but, down a country road. We find our property to be quite peaceful. We do have crickets and frogs to lull you to sleep and early birds to greet you in the morning.  Keep an eye out for turtles! We are a few hundred yards from either Upton State Forest or Lake Whitehall. Lake Whitehall is popular with boaters (speed limit enforced) and is stocked with fish. No swimming. There is a public boat ramp on the other side of the lake. We often put in our kayaks at the entrance close to our house. We hike, mountain bike and picnic in these parks. It's really beautiful.  There is a 24-hour grocery store 2 miles down the road.  The gravel campsite is located at the barn end of our driveway in front of the red barn. There is a little privacy from the house, but, we may need to get into the barn from time to time. We have a 30amp and water hookup at the barn. If planning on using electric please add one "electric hookup" extra to each night of your stay BEFORE finishing the request to book, it's really difficult to add it after. Please plan to bring 50' of hose and/or 25ft of electrical cord if using hookups. There is wifi, BUT, it's pretty weak at the barn. Definitely not strong enough for streaming! Our Ibex camper may or may not be parked next to the barn depending on if we are out camping!  We do not accept car campers. Turtle Path also has a Guest Suite. Find us on that other website! Shortly after we moved in we discovered a large snapping turtle on his way from Lake Whitehall to the creek at the back of our property. Our neighbor told us that's the turtle's usual route. Turtle won our hearts that day.

Quaint fall getaway! We had originally booked Georgie's Cottage but were moved to an interior suite. It was more than adequate in size for our two large dogs. Only disappoinment was no shower or refrigerator in the room. It was a bit dusty but nicely furnished with a double day bed and twin bed. Lots of nice plants in pots. Chai, pastries and tangerines for breakfast were nice.

Me and my boyfriend slept in our car for the first time and we weren’t sure about the idea at first but we had an amazing sleep, felt safe, and had a compost toilet right in front of our car. Eric was very responsive and helpful. My car sadly wasn’t starting up in the morning when we woke up because its old so we had to call a towing and sadly left an hour and a half later than the checkout time and Eric did not charge us extra and was super comprehensible and even suggested a good nearby garage.

Our short trip to Brianna’s campsite was very nice! She was very communicative, but left us to our own devices. The campsite was quite private, their house is a little bit away through the trees, but didn’t feel too close at all. No outhouse so definitely plan to manage your own waste.

Camping here was easy, the property was pretty, the instructions that were left were clear, and Eric was available on very short notice which was a huge help. I stayed on the site closest to the road so some trucks were loud at times, but the description covered that and it was no problem. I would definitely stay here again,
