Stories from the community

1 night at Souhegan Shores

Really lovely place waters not even a nine away huge camp site. Host was really nice as well

1 night at Powder Mill Pond Retreat

Well maintained, beautiful spot. Had a chance to chat with hosts Mo and Mark. Nice people.

3 nights at Storm Meadows

This was our second stay here, and we can’t say enough great things about it. We had nice weather so we spent a lot of time by the pond, used the grill, sat by the fire pit, and even watched some downloaded shows on our laptop at night in the screened gazebo. We are truly grateful to Mark and his family for this site and for being such excellent hosts!

Weekend Trip to Powder Mill Pond Retreat

Easy access with a view on the water. The owners are super nice and I would go back anytime 😊

Weekend Trip to Rosy Goat Farm

Perfect! Trisha was fast to respond and everything was organized and ready. Our spot had nice privacy and level ground to set up. Picnic table, fire pit, little trail lights to outhouse...what else could you want?!? We had a great stay. We biked into town and had a nice breakfast at the diner. Thanks!

Weekend Trip to Souhegan Shores

Great camping site with all the necessary items (picnic table, tarp, bathroom, flat ground). Felt secluded and private despite being close to town, very friendly host and a bonus dog! Unfortunately weather prevented us from swimming but the river looked great!

1 night at Souhegan Shores

Super peaceful camp with a smart setup, huge tarp covered platform and gorgeous woods and river. River is great for wading and fishing. No road sound. Occasional airplane flyovers. Huge hit with this fishing family.

3 nights at Souhegan Shores

Our stay at Bob’s was great; our pups enjoyed the freedom of play time at our camp. No noise from the outside and inside camp area. Bob was friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Bob assisted us with our trip down the river with vehicle drop and directions for floating down the river. It was simply beautiful, relaxing and enjoyable!

Weekend Trip to Rosy Goat Farm

Rosy Goat was exactly what we needed, exactly when we needed it. Trisha’s place is a warm, soft space to land to get away from it all. It was our little one’s first camping trip and the gorgeous property, bustling farm, bevy of animals, and manicured camping area were perfect to introduce her to the world of nature. The camping area has a wonderful, natural lawn (or the perfectly flat wood chip beds) to house your tent; large beautiful trees to shade the area; a high-quality outhouse for when nature calls; and the most wonderful daily alarm of birdsong and bleating to start your days. We enjoyed a lovely rain on our last morning, and although the hosts don’t control the weather, the site they curated is an amazing backdrop for a rainy morning. We ate Rosy Goat eggs in the morning and took the farm tour to see how the chickens who lay them are managed—recommend. We enjoyed ice cream and the nearby farmer’s market, as well as walks on the property and even a swim down in one of the nearby rivers. 5/5 stars. Will be back!

Weekend Trip to Rosy Goat Farm

Trish was very friendly and welcoming. She responded quickly to texts and welcomed us when we arrived. The goats were a hoot! The geese were not as happy to see us but they learned to tolerate us after a while. Great place to enjoy animals.

Weekend Trip to Souhegan Shores

Great private spot in the woods! Plenty of room for tents and the covered picnic table really helped. It's near a nice river which does add to the bugs but it's a great spot and Bob as a host was fabulous as well. We would return.

Weekend Trip to Souhegan Shores

Beautiful property and very private! Definitely very buggy so come prepared. We had a great time even with the rain and hope to be back with nicer weather :)

1 night at Souhegan Shores

I had my birthday here with a couple friends and had a blast! Campfire was amazing and the wood provided was really amazing. Recommend some bug spray definitely bring that the mosquitos can get pesky around the water. 10/10 Would come back again and probably will!

2 nights at Souhegan Shores

Bob and Tini were great hosts and went out of their way to make the experience excellent. Because of the wet weather, the mosquitoes were fierce, but Bob provided enough wood, without charge, to help keep the fires going. The site is clean, quiet, and feels remote, though it's not too far from town. Definitely recommended.

1 night at Storm Meadows

This was our second time staying on Mark’s property. It is very private, clean and quiet. Mark is an excellent host. He is very responsive. We are hoping to have the opportunity to stay on his property in the future.

Weekend Trip to Souhegan Shores

We love staying at Bobs campsites along the Souhegan River. Group of 4 adults, an 11month old baby, and one pup enjoyed a late May weekend at campsite #1. Although it rained for a good portion, the huge tarp over the picnic table was incredibly helpful! We set up an ez-up but didn't end up using it as intended over the picnic table, but put it just off to the side acting as a baby corral while we cooked meals at the site. We also fit an SUV, truck camper, and tent on the site. Loved the sound of the rushing river, made even higher by all the rain. So peaceful it felt like we were alone in the woods, even with the horse pasture on the other side of the fence. Ticks were bad this time around but we checked ourselves often. As always, we love the grate over the firepit for cooking, as well as the option to purchase firewood on site!

5 nights at Powder Mill Pond Retreat

Could not ask for a better place to tent camp.. Great people and everything went perfect. I would stay here again and again if it wasn't so far from home.

Weekend Trip to Souhegan Shores

We loved Bob and Tini’s land! There were well marked signs so you wont be able to miss it. Very spacious campsite with chairs and picnic table. It has been raining for the past few days so the river was rushing and was nice to hear at night. Everything exceeded our expectations. Definitely one of the best hip camps I’ve been to so far!

Weekend Trip to Storm Meadows

We absolutely loved our weekend stay here. Mark met us when we arrived, showed us around all that the site as to offer, and was an excellent host. Can’t wait to book it again!

Weekend Trip to Souhegan Shores

I loved camping at the serenity site, it was perfectly isolated while still having everything you could need. This is the best camping spot that I have found yet I will definitely be back!

Souhegan Shores

2 sites · RVs, Tents21 acres · Merrimack, NH

Camp above the bank of the Souhegan River under shade of oak, hickory, blue birch, hemlock and white pine. Let the song of the rapids sing you to sleep. Maybe the resident owls will join the serenade. This slice of heaven is only 5 minutes from the Everett Turnpike and within an hour of Boston. Weather concerns? The best forecast we've found for Merrimack is https://www.wmur.com/weather. Want to see what the river is doing? Check out https://water.noaa.gov/gauges/SOHN3. 500 CFS is a sporty run with canoe or kayak. Anything under 200 is great for swimming with kids. SPECIAL NOTE: June 22th Update River has dropped to 200 CFS which means it's at a nice level for both swimming and boating. Roads are passable. We just had campsites and surrounding trails sprayed for mosquitos and are seeing a sharp improvement on those pests. Keeping the campfire burning helps as well. More description... Site-1 is located under the trees adjacent to our 3 acre meadow and Christmas Tree farm. Camp near the bank of the Souhegan River in the shade while listening to the river tumble over the ledges upstream. In season, enjoy the chest deep swimming hole 100 feet from your campsite. Two horses graze on the other side of the privacy fence. If you don't like friendly dogs try site 2 where we have a better chance of keeping our dog Wilson from dropping in to visit. He loves people too much not to want to greet folks on Site 1. Site-2 is at the farthest most downstream end of the property and from mid-May to mid-October it is totally screened by foliage. From your site you only see trees and the river. If you don't like other dogs, this is the site you want. Still no guarantee Wilson won't visit, but it's easier to keep Wilson away from here. The other side of the river is town conservation land so the only people you're likely to see will be passing by in kayaks or on paddleboards. In dry season, both sites are a great place to start a float trip and you'll likely have the next 1.5 miles all to yourself since rapids up stream become impassable wet rocks in July and August. You are only two traffic lights away from the Merrimack Premium Outlet Mall if you need something to do during inclement weather.

Rosy Goat Farm

4 sites · RVs, Tents13 acres · Gilbertville, MA

Welcome to Rosy Goat Farm!! We are the quintessential family farm/homestead, our farmhouse was built in the 1840’s Bill and I bought this 13-acre property in 2012, It was overgrown with wild roses. We have worked with a limited budget, and used animals to clear the land. The goats love the wild roses. The pigs dig the roses up. Chickens rake it clean. Win win! Very interesting place here- lots to tell you, there’s quite a list of things to do and see around here! Did you know that Gilbertville has a covered bridge? It is one of the last covered bridges still in use in Massachusetts! First- a touch of Hardwick History: Rev. Timothy Ruggles bought this land from the Native Americans for his family to live on, and to work the land. His son, Brigadeer General Timothy Ruggles became unpopular after he introduced the Stamp Act, and was banished to Nova Scotia. His daughter Bathsheba became the last woman executed in the United States for the murder of her husband Joshua Spooner. (There’s a book about it called Murdered by his wife, by Deborah Navas.) Want to know local eateries? For breakfasts and lunch there is The Whistle Stop diner, it was a former Boston & Albany Railroad station. Speaking of railroads, did you know that The Mass Central Rail Trail runs through Gilbertville! Rose 32, is a well known bakery that serves tea, coffee and sandwiches. There’s Hardwick house of Pizza- for tasty pizza and subs, which also serves beer. Feeling fancy? Try Hardwick Crossing Country Club (features a 9 hole golf course), it has a restaurant with a full-service bar, gorgeous scenery! Its a 3 minute drive from here Mimi’s for your morning coffee and lunch, yum! And it overlooks our beautiful Common! Also check out Stone Cow Brewery in Barre -has a kids play area while you wait for your meal! Ware has Mexicali Grill, Theresa’s Restaurant for Italian foods, Bellies Barnyard for traditional American cuisine, and, Pig Park BBQ for comfort food! Farmer Mat in North Brookfield has take out meals- there are picnic tables available, beautiful views. Things to do: You can kayak, and fish, at Swift River in Belchertown. Hardwick is the home of the oldest agricultural fair in the US, held every year in August, and, every Sunday there’s a small farmers market on the common. Hardwick also has a winery- Hardwick Vineyard and Winery, they have all kinds of events, (find them on facebook) and, check out Lost Towns brewery- the name is a throwback to the 4 towns that were submerged to create the Quabbin Reservoir! Medicine River Pow Wow is in August here in Gilbertville, on River Run Rd. The East Quabbin Land Trust has birdwatching and fabulous views, and the Mass Central Rail Trail entrance is located here. Bike it or hike it! Quabbin Reservoir is close by for boating and fishing. There are free concerts in Grenville Park in Ware, (check for dates). Ware also has Janine’s Frostee ice cream and fast foods- and live music on weekend nights! Also check out these on line: Ragged Hill orchard and Rock House Reservation in West Brookfield, and Carter and Stevens farm in Barre. The Leicester, and Mendon movie drive-in’s. Old Sturbridge village is 30 minutes away. Lake Lashaway has a swimming area in East Brookfield, right off of Rte 9. It’s about 20 minutes from here. Lake Siog in Holland has a lovely picnic area and beach for swimming. (30 mins South from here) Is this area great or what?!
