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.

Emily and her husband were very kind and accommodating. They have a lovely property and, while tricky to back into, it was a great place to be for a week. The woods behind the house are nice and there are many trails nearby to hike and explore. Quiet, pleasant , and beautiful area all around.

Weekend Trip to Does not suck😋 camp!!
Excellent host, he was very helpful. We used the pontoon all day with my 13-year-old son and his buddies. We were actually pretty successful at fishing with live bait. We got some decent sized bass and a couple of bluegill sunfish, which we ate that night in tacos. The area for the tents is comfortable and the host let us use his bathroom. He also has a big grill and perfect setup for a fire. He was very responsive and had great advice on local activities and fishing. We’ll happily go back.

A nice little tent camping site! The walk from parking there is quick. The site itself is level and clean, great plus. It is narrow so giant tents may not fit, but our 3 person tent worked nicely. The site has a wooden chair and a fire pit, with plenty of wood and branches to use as fire material. We camped on a clear night so the stars were also great!

Nice little spot and quiet. I always prefer a camp site on a pine needle bed since it’s nice and soft. Only 20 minutes from Lexington if you like history, about an hour from Salem if traffic isn’t bad. I would caution the size of the vehicle you bring. My Tacoma with a 5’5” bed and 2 bike rack BARELY fit in the spot, but other than that it was great! We’d definitely stay here again

I only stayed briefly overnight so I didn't have a chance to explore much of the area or amenities. The farm was clean and safe and a pleasant spot to stop for the night. It didn't feel very private, but I expected that from the listing and it was quiet so no complaints. Kelli was friendly, helpful and easy to communicate with by chat. Thanks again!

Quiet place both for our campervan outside and the inside room. Was gracious to be able to use the common space inside too! Very comfortable and great coffee bar!

What a lovely place Danielle has. We thankfully were able to meet her in person this morning. The yard and woods were peaceful and filled with birds. She opened her lovely home to us and it was wonderful to sit in the living room in a morning sunbeam and do some work. Convenient location to friends and family in nearby towns. We hope to return if in the area again.

Weekend Trip to Clover Hill Farm ☘️
We really enjoyed our stay! The site was peaceful, secluded, and quiet exactly what we were looking for. There was plenty of space to spread out, and the location was great with hiking close by. It felt private and safe, which made for a relaxing trip. Amanda was very helpful and I enjoyed communicating with her. One note for future campers: I’d recommend having all-wheel drive or four-wheel drive, especially if the ground is wet. The site is accessible, but extra traction definitely helps. Overall, a great experience, would happily come back!

We weren't arriving early enough to pitch a tent but it was so convenient to stay at Danielle's. We weren't able to meet her as we arrived around 9 pm & she had already gone to bed. but she left lights on for us and gave us instructions for how to utilize the space. We were comfortable and slept well. Would definitely return in the future when passing through. She was easy to sign up with last minute as well (this was a last minute trip), so we appreciated that too.

Danielle's Hip Camp is a great option if you want to either stay inside a home with conveniences, or to camp in a private yard. Very quiet! Danielle is accommodating, and the house is comfortable.

The yard is private and the neighborhood very quiet. I loved the combination of camping and house amenities. I would definitely recommend it.

This is an incredible site run by extraordinarily wonderful hosts! The site itself is situated at the edge of a deep forest with a nice trail leading to vernal pools, remains of stone walls, and a deep ravine. There is a perfect flat area for setting up a tent and a very nice fire pit. Kaedra and her family are incredibly gracious hosts. Had one of the best 2-night camping experiences in Massachusetts! This is a 5-star Hipcamp site. I will definitely be back!

Danielle went above and beyond welcoming me into her home. As a first time HipCamp-er coming from upstate NY on a through-trip to Salem, Danielle was not only a wealth of knowledge and information about the city itself but was able to accommodate my late arrival time and departure as well. I will be staying here again. Danielle set the bar up high for my future HipCamp experiences!

Camping out on Kelli's land is a treasure for sure. The warm whispers of the sunrise over her house and field with the early morning nickers of the horses is just what my body needed. The weather was perfect, there was a slight breeze and my dog children loved playing with her small pack. I will return again and again if my schedule allows! This is hands down, a great place to park for a short or long stay. Thanks, Kelli & Jerry xoxo
