North Sandwich, NH · 14 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
Simply the best tenting you can find in the White Mountains. The campground to get away from campgrounds, where magic touches every corner. Sacred Nectar rests on the land of the Wabanaki Tribes. This land, now known by it's view gifting fields, is one of Sandwich's top treasured gems. The Historic Farm was purchased by Townsend Thorndike from the first colonizing family to claim ownership of this unceded land, the McCrillis family. It was Town's place to get away from the busy life. As time went on and his money dwindled and plans to sell off some of the land arose. Townsend's son, Nick, foresaw a devastating development of conventional homes that would diminish the soul of this sacred land that held so much magic. So, Nick decided to move back to the homestead to create an example of what a healthy life for the land and its inhabitants looks like. HipCamp was the first step towards sharing and opening up the land to create an Intentional lifestyle. One in which we hope to share our way of being that brings awareness to the natural world we have fallen so far from. Nick and his tribe of like minds are creating a holistic, educational, retreat, workshop, and event center where people can come to learn how to co-exist in a harmonious relationship with nature and each other. Thank you for being a part of the healing. We hope you enjoy what we have created here :)

Hiking trails nearby. The camp offers RV sites with water, electricity, and sewer, an RV site with no hookups, and several tent sites.

Potable water is also available from a spigot at the bathhouse. There are over six acres of mowed fields for activities and walking. There is also a lovely brook running through the property. This property has a lengthy history going back to colonial times. It’s been a farm, an apple orchard, and once had a sawmill. Please check the calendar for available dates. Check-in is no later than 9pm unless late arrival arrangements have been made prior to booking. Whenever possible, try to arrive before dark because there are no lights at most sites, which can make setup difficult. A note regarding electric vehicles (EV): If you have an electric vehicle and would like to tent camp, please select one of our full hookup RV sites. If you have the proper electric adapter for your vehicle, you can charge your vehicle at the 30A RV plug while tenting in the field near the RV site. We do not supply these adapters, and we cannot allow you to charge your vehicle unless you have reserved an RV site with full hookups. If you do not see an open site for the days you'd like to get away, please contact us. Sometimes we can make other arrangements, allowing you to stay.

Charlestown, NH · 2 sites · Tents, RVs
Sweet Song Acres is 100+ acres of secluded forest nestled along the Little Sugar River, at the base of Perry Mountain. Located in rural Unity, NH and Charlestown, NH, just across the Vermont state line. Southernmost point, located in Charlestown is one of two campsites. The other is Shady Grove, located in Unity. The two sites, located in bordering towns share the same entrance and are connected by a 1/4 mile trail. Both are very large sites. Campers would drive to both sites down a trail so we highly recommend a vehicle with decent clearance and 4WD or AWD. Southernmost Point is a fully drive-in site. Shady Grove campers park above the site and the campsite is down a short path, just a few hundred feet or so. The property consists of varied terrain of rock ledges, lush moss, streams, and panoramic views at the summit. There are many options of local outdoor activities in the area or if you prefer, just sit and "listen to the river sing sweet songs to rock your soul".

Grafton, NH · 10 sites
Discover the charm of Riddle Hill Homestead, a peaceful, family-run retreat tucked into 24 acres in the Smith River Valley of Grafton, New Hampshire. Our property is bordered by the Smith River and Manfeltree Brook, with campsites tucked into the woods, meadow, field edges, and quieter corners of the land. Whether you prefer open skies, tree cover, a brook nearby, or a simple place to settle in by the fire, there’s a little something here for different camping styles. Riddle Hill Homestead is centered around simple comforts, creativity, fresh-baked cookies, and slowing down for a bit. Our roadside Cookie Shop offers cookies, cold drinks, novelty ice creams, local products, and farm-fresh eggs from our hens. In October 2025, our Cookie Shop was featured as the first stop on NH Chronicle’s Cookie Crawl. One of our favorite summer traditions is Friday Night Movie Night. Campers are welcome to bring a chair or blanket, grab a snack from the Cookie Shop, and enjoy a relaxed, family-friendly movie under the stars. Many movie nights also include a small community market, free kids’ activities, and a chance to meet neighbors and visitors from around the area. Riddle Hill is a working homestead, not a traditional campground, but we do our best to make off-grid camping feel comfortable and welcoming. Campers have access to a community picnic and BBQ area, non-potable water, an off-grid shower area, and a real port-a-potty near the movie and community area. We also provide one 1-gallon bottle of potable drinking water to help guests get started. Most individual sites include a portable camp toilet in a small pop-up privacy tent, with disposable liner bags for easy use and cleanup. The Meadow sites do not include individual portable toilets, so please check each site listing for its specific setup before booking. Most sites also include their own fire pit, with the exception of the Meadow sites and Overnight Adventurer. The first bundle of firewood is included with your stay, and additional firewood is available for $5 per bundle. Our small honor-system camp store carries a handful of camping basics, snacks, and forgotten essentials when available. During normal rainfall years, the brook can be a refreshing place to wade and explore, though water levels vary with the season and weather. The Craft Cottage at Riddle Hill Homestead is our cozy creative studio where we host workshops, open studio time, blacklight paint parties, family activities, and special events throughout the year. Camping guests receive 15% off Craft Cottage classes and workshops during their stay. If timing lines up, you may even catch Michelle working on glass lampwork beads or another project in progress. On many weekends, you may also find local artists, handmade goods, demonstrations, workshops, family activities, movie nights, or seasonal community events happening around the property. To see upcoming workshops, movie nights, markets, family activities, and special events happening during your stay, visit our Eventbrite page: https://www.eventbrite.com/o/115906669741 Nature provides the soundtrack here. Our hens sometimes announce their freshly laid eggs with a proud little laying song, and Mister the rooster adds the occasional crow. Depending on the season, you may hear peepers, frogs, songbirds, crickets, the brook, and the occasional owl while enjoying dark skies and peaceful country evenings. The town beach and Northern Rail Trail are a short walk away, and hiking, lakes, mountain views, Ruggles Mine, and Haunting Whisper Vineyard & Spirits are all nearby. Grafton is a quiet little town with plenty to explore if you enjoy small-town wandering, local history, dirt roads, water, woods, and taking the scenic way back. Please note that Riddle Hill Homestead is a working homestead. Wildlife, farm animals, changing weather, uneven terrain, tall grass, bugs, country sounds, and the realities of rural New Hampshire are all part of the experience. Whether you’re looking for a quiet campsite, a creative weekend, a family movie night, or simply an excuse to enjoy a fresh-baked cookie by the campfire, we’re glad you found us and hope you’ll make yourself at home at Riddle Hill Homestead.
