If you’re looking for views, the trailhead to Abbott Mountain is just a 6-minute drive away, offering a moderate hike to a ledgy summit with panoramic vistas. For a more relaxed outing or family-friendly experience, Williams Town Park offers wide gravel walking paths, open fields, and two scenic ponds.

We also encourage guests to explore local conservation areas through the Three Rivers Land Trust, including the Marjorie Dunnells Chadbourne Preserve and Hansen Pond Preserve in nearby Acton, where a short trail leads to a peaceful pond with a dock and community kayaks. After a day of exploring nearby lakes—Mousam, Square Pond, and Goose Pond—return to the complete privacy and quiet of your own wooded campsite on Conant Farm. This is a natural, off-grid camping experience—simple, private, and surrounded by nature.

PRIVATE waterfront campsite - EXCLUSIVE use!! Eagle View Pines, in beautiful Hiram Maine, is a peaceful and private 2+ acre property surrounded by tall pine trees with 300 feet of Saco River frontage! Guests will enjoy a floating dock for swimming, fishing, and kayaking! Two kayaks and one canoe are on site for guest use. Guests can also enjoy a picnic table, Adirondack chairs, a solo stove for campfires (please bring your own wood) and a hammock for relaxing and watching the eagles flying above as well as the stunning sunsets! We have two winding trails (one to the right of the picnic table and one to the left of the hammock) that lead to points with chairs and stunning views of the water! A small trailer is on site, filled with little amenities from bug spray to binoculars! A 30/50 amp electric hookup is available for your RV or camper (and standard outlets for use if you are tenting!) and our gravel driveway can fit a 30 foot camper. A Porta-potty is available for campers with tents. Guests will need to be self contained, take waste with them, and leave no trace. Dogs are more than welcome here (please pick up after your pet!), but please note this property sits approximately 20 feet above the riverbank, with natural stairs leading down to the water. This site is not appropriate for very young, unsupervised children. The Saco river can be unforgiving, and this is an ever-changing site. At any given time, depending on the weather, the water can be high, or low, and this can change the landscape to some extent. We are always making improvements and cleaning the land (cutting dead or fallen trees etc.) so we appreciate your understanding of these rustic qualities! Hiram is located about 30 minutes from North Conway NH with amazing restaurants and outlet shopping, and about an hour from the coast and Portland Maine. The sweet little town of Cornish is just a 15 minute drive, and Naples and the Sebago Lake area are just a short drive as well! There are several hiking trails nearby. The Mount Cutler Park and Conservation Area is just a 10 minute drive, featuring trails that provide stunning views of Hiram and the surrounding mountains. Or, you can simply go for an evening stroll down the charming, quiet dirt road after your relaxing day on the river!

Immerse yourself in a century old Hemlock and Beech forest overlooking a spring fed mountain brook as it cascades around granite boulders. The biodiversity here is thriving and some of the trees are as old as the country. The site is set up to be easy from the minute you pull in. We have a single, private site- it's wide, level, scratch-free, with a granite firepit, firewood for purchase on site, a fast dry double hammock, a live edge picnic table, screaming WiFi, a kid friendly target game, no limitations on generator use and a mile of private trails. The firepit is a stunning spot to settle in on the Adirondack chairs and enjoy a crackling fire tucked in the towering trees and moss. The sound of the brook Is an ASMR dream and you may see a heron, a bald eagle or a mink who are regular visitors. While you’ll feel miles from civilization, our high-speed WiFi allows for seamless remote work, stargazing with a soundtrack or streaming your favorite shows on a rainy day. New for 2026, we have doubled our private trail system! The trails on either side of the brook wander through both sides of our property to secluded spots where you can see the remains of a beaver lodge and dam (currently between occupants). Our game cameras regularly capture porcupines, bobcats, owls, herons, otters, eagles, and just about every eastern woodland animal and bird you can imagine. This spring there is a bald eagle who fishes in front of the cabin most days. We are Brad and Christine and we live further up the driveway in our solar-powered log cabin. While you may catch glimpses of the red cabin or solar array through the trees, we honor your privacy while being nearby in case you need something. We don't overlook the site directly, and you can't see us beyond the occasional glimpse or on the trails passing closer to the buildings. We drive down the driveway past the site if we are leaving or returning home, which we minimize when we have guests. We are located two miles down a gravel road, 2 miles off Rt. 16, you are 15 minutes from groceries, pharmacies, EV charging, gas, and a local campground who can arrange for you to dump your tanks. We are in East Wolfeboro, a half hour drive to Downtown. Historic Portsmouth, NH and the Maine coast are an hour away.

White Mountains 1 hour 30 mins. NOTE- This is Maine, so we do have ticks. We strongly encourage the use of spray on yourselves and pets.

Guests are welcome to walk or hike around the property. There are open fields and some rough hiking trails (wear good shoes!) Small stream runs through the property and there are wild turkeys, deer and other wildlife about. This is a rustic site with picnic table, fire ring and chemical toilet. Pretty and peaceful.
