We purchased this land a few years ago when our neighbors decided to sell. It abuts our property They used it as a place for their family to gather and camp on during Maine wonderful summer season. It is a beautiful, quiet spot with a great view and a small pond. Hipcamp lets us share this spot and helps pay our property taxes.We are located in the western mountains of Maine in a summer community on Porter Lake. There is a beautiful view of New Vineyard mountain from our 3 acre field. We have 2 trailer sites with power and water (non potable) and an out house. The field has several fire pits and soft grassy spaces for pitching tents. The camping area is fairly private from our neighbors along the road. The site has a small private pond surrounded by trees you can sit and relax near. You can (walk/bike/drive) the 1/4 mile down the dirt road to the public beach. The beach has a public dock, boat ramp, swim float, picnic tables and grills. Paddle out to the island and try the rope swing with one of our kayaks or canoes. Be sure to check out the bald eagles that live in the white pine tree just a little farther down the island. You will hear the loons during your stay and possibly see a mother with her babies on her back. There are also ducks and ducklings and geese with gosling paddling about the lake. The state stocks the lake with trout, splake, and salmon if you like to fish. There is plenty to do right here!

At the top of the hill you can see the bay with trails and a moose that visits in the spring.Theres a small stream running thru the lower entrance of the property. Back in the 1800 they raised sheep and farmed the land.

Awesome spot! Cheri was an excellent host and the spot is ~100ft from a creek. Pro tip: if you want to get to the main river faster, walk to the back of the meadow and down the embankment along the water. Much easier if the water is low.

Enjoyed my stay! Arrived after dark and Tom made a point to come find me lost and show me my way. Great view of stars and short walk to the public beach. Loons and owls all night!

Huge lot all to yourself. Private access to the river with a bank to enjoy. Rough without a bathroom but there are business around and private woods so we made it work.

This is such a great spot and I'll definitely be back! Just off of Rt 4, the campsite is tucked behind a driveway and is a nice open meadow. Private enough to feel peaceful, though not "middle of the woods" – you can still hear a bit of street traffic, but nothing too noisy. The best part of this site is the direct access to Valley Brook! I enjoyed swimming and fishing, and if you walk downstream about a quarter of a mile, you'll hit the confluence with the Sandy River :)

Great spot for a weekend! Tom and JP were extremely friendly and helpful. The lake is perfect and our kids spent a whole day swimming, jumping off the floating dock and playing the boats that Tom provided.

The camping spot was exactly what we were looking for! Great spot, private, access to the water, short distance to other trails and things to explore! Our dogs enjoyed all the room to run and play !! The host really thought about all the information we would need to make our travel easy and stay enjoyable !!

It was a great weekend at Tom’s. He has some construction going on for a new bath house so he moved us away from the noise and upgraded us to have electrical. His Handy man Jp was very helpful and a pleasure to chat with. This place is a campground in progress but that didn’t stop us from having a great time. Beanies beach just down the road was beautiful and refreshing. Plan on going back again!! Can’t wait to see all the new improvements. Thanks Tom and Jp for a pleasant experience.

Nice spot! Private if nobody is at the site across from you but not very private with neighbors. The fire pit was awesome Tom's suggestions for where to get wood nearby were perfect. I felt safe there and it was pretty quiet. Definitely use the second entrance for the lower field sites ( just a little further past the main one). The fireflies after dark were magical! There was soooo many.

We had a great time camping at Farmhouse Meadows!! It was super hot but the river was a great spot to cool off in and hang around. Stars were beautiful each night you could see them so clearly! Cute little campfire spot and so much room available on the meadow.

I car camped at Cheri’s spot and had an amazing time! The land was big enough for a family or group of friends. The river access was great, I spent most of my time down there by the stream. It felt private but safe, because the house was close enough. Cheri’s son in law helped me with car troubles and I am very grateful! Would recommend if you’re seeking an easygoing experience :)

Exactly what the doctor ordered! The field was muddy (tis the season) but Tom was in communication and warned us about the conditions a few days before the trip, so we were able to prepare. There wasn’t any firewood for purchase at the site but we were able to make do. Instructions for how to reach the site were clear and the site was easy to get to, though the road is muddy so two-wheel drivers proceed with caution. Overall a good trip and was a great way to test out some new backpacking gear that we had. Also, the lake is a short walk away and gorgeous! Would love to return in the summer when we can swim.

Had a nice 3 day stay here at the Upper Nook at Hole In The Wall. Was only one other camper on site, and given it's fairly remote location, it was extremely quiet and peaceful! The weather wasn't so cooperative, but we enjoyed the stay anyways. My only criticism is that the site was supposed to have water available...it was not. Due to the cold weather, Tom had pulled the pump. Although we completely understand the necessity, an advance notice should have been given so we could have equipped ourselves better for a "no water" situation!
