We loved camping at the site. The amenities were excellent, and the hot tub was super clean. Overall, the experience was 5 stars.
This is in no way to denigrate or take away from the positive review. This is only a suggestion moving forward. When we arrived, we were informed that we were unable to use the fire pit because there was a statewide ban due to a drought in New Hampshire. This is no way the problem of the owner of the site. It is out of their control. However, it would have been nice to know upon booking as doing a campfire is an integral part of the camping experience. The site still receives 5 stars :)

We love this camp site! It literally has everything you would need! Morning coffee on the deck in the Adirondack chairs is the most peaceful and best way to start the day. We love taking the boats out on the lake and taking a dip in the hot tub. This was our third time going to this site and we are looking forward to coming back in the future!

This is a great camping spot. The nearby waterfall provides a constant blanket of sound that insulates you from the outside world so it feels very isolated without being "in the middle of nowhere". It is well equipped with everything you could need (except food & clothes) and the host provides lots of info about local things to do.

We rented a Jayco camper that made our stay easy and more comfortable. It was right on the river- we enjoyed waking up and watching the ducks go by. We spent a ton of time outside, grilling, having fires and spending time/ laughing with friends. Lots of things locally to do as well. We went apple picking and to the local fair! We got some time kayaking in the river too which was peaceful. It was a nice, quiet getaway, and the owners are lovely people. Be prepared with all your own camping gear. Though the camper was very comfortable, we were lucky we had everything we needed. You will need all your own kitchen gear: a grill, pots/pans, plates, mixing bowls, etc. We would def come back, especially since it's only 1.15hr from home. Thanks for a nice stay.

Certainly better accommodations than expected. The tent site was private and had all the essentials you could need. Just bring your fishing rod, a meal, and your favorite drink. Our children loved “living” on the tent site for the weekend. They are already asking the next time we can go. Thank you for a perfect weekend to bid farewell to summer.

4 nights at Tiny House, Horse Trailer, S Tent
This spot was so cute! The teeny house where I stayed with my dogs was great and had updates from what is seen in the listing. I was surprised that there were like no bugs, didn’t have to spray the site at all. They aren’t kidding about it being “teeny” though- you can’t open the door all the way to get in haha but it was great otherwise!

This was a unique and fun experience! I think the Horse Trailer is the Best Option! Just enough space for 2 people and 2 dogs. Waking up you have a front view of the picture perfect water view. Bond fire available and grill. Two swinging tree chairs were very comfy and a great place to sit down with a morning coffee and see the natural beauty around you. From kayaks, to hot tub, to hiking, so much to do! The owner and manager was super helpful and friendly. Defiantly would come back!

We loved the teeny tiny house, it was so cute. It was great to wake up and have coffee right on the water especially being able to paddle around on our personal rowboat. It had everything we needed. The bed is a little firm so bring extra blankets if that's not your thing, but we were comfortable. The amenities were affordably priced and everyone there was so friendly.

Absolutely fantastic location and everyone involved made the stay a delight.
We opted to take the boat to the island -- which thrilled my 8-year-old to no end. Then, once we arrived, the lighthouse keeper couldn't have been friendlier or made things easier during our stay at this unforgettable location with everything from amazing views to multiple lighthouse tours.
Great from start to finish and we can't wait to go back.

We had an excellent trip and I would highly recommend it! We paddled out in our kayaks and were greeted on the beach once we arrived and shown where to store our kayaks. The light housekeeper was super helpful and showed us around and answered all of our questions. It was incredible to see the lighthouse, and the views from the spot are amazing. The beach was pretty rocky, but it was perfect for a quick dip. Also, they are not joking when they say there is little to no shade on the island, so don't forget a good sun hat and lots of sunscreen.

We had a great weekend camping on Bakers Island. Just the boat ride there was great fun, particularly navigating the landing craft ramp to get to the rocky beach. Dave the caretaker was there to greet us and help load our equipment up the steep slope to the campsites. He was also always available to answer any questions. Beautiful views around the island. We also lucked out with two night's running of seeing the moon rise over the Atlantic.

We stayed two nights. The keeper David was very accommodating and gave us a tour up the lighthouse! We lucked out that it was a full moon and got to see the sunset and moonrise on the island. Great little trails and beach areas to explore. We spent most of our time relaxing, watching boats go by. The ride to and from the island in the landing boat was quite an experience. Our kids loved it!

Baker's Island's campsites are not for everybody, but they were fine for me.
Be clear about transportation to-and-from the Island. Experienced kayaker's will have one experience, those who travel on the islands ferry will pay more, and be restricted by the available timing.
The site itself is historic, if a bit primitive. You are right alongside the ocean and will sleep with the sound of channel buoys "bonging" in the distance, and the screech of wheeling sea gulls!
While a bit "rough around the edges" I really enjoyed the salt air, solitude, and grace of this special and historic spot!

Weekend Trip to Tiny House, Horse Trailer, S Tent
We were very pleased with The Rustic Chic Retreat. The site we rented had the mini renovated horse trailer. It is unique, clean, comfortable and very well stocked. The whole site is amazing! You’ve got your own bathroom shed, fire pit with available wood, multiple chairs for lounging, a covered and screened eating area, ability to shower and wash dishes, your own jug of water which is refillable, not to mention the beautiful view of Powder Mill Pond! Everything in and on the trailer was easy to operate. We were able to follow the train tracks and walk to the quaint downtown area for breakfast and visit the general store. We borrowed a boat to enjoy the pond which is available at the small campground beach. There’s even a bench swing, gazebo and hot tub available on the grounds! This was our first time glamping (we always tent camp) and now realize what a treat it is to have everything there already, things you may not have thought about. For us, this was better than renting a hotel room to get away for three days! Honestly, I just wanted to stay there longer. Thank you so so much, Donna, we love your place!

We had a perfect stay at the Safari Tent - what a beautiful spot with a perfect setup and caring hospitality. The camp site felt secluded and private, yet not far from our car if we needed to get something. The tent with air mattresses worked well (they even had spares just in case), while the screened-in dining area, clean latrine, fire pit with chairs and ample firewood supply, as well as sturdy picnic table with work bench for our cooking setup made our site feel complete and comfortable with minimal effort. The best part was the sound of the waterfall had me sleeping like a baby all night :)
We made use of the kayaks for fishing and racing across the scenic pond, and the hot tub in the evening to relax after a day of adventuring. Lots to see in the region - I highly recommend the White Birch General Store in town for fine coffee and sandwiches, and Pack Monadnock mountain for a good hike that leads to spectacular views!
Our host was very welcoming, gave us space to be on our own but provided prompt support when we reached out with questions. I'd be very happy to visit again, and recommend this place to those seeking an easy and beautiful place to stay.
