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 :)

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".

We had the absolute best time here camping in the Apple orchard, not just because we were super lucky with the weather. Peaceful surroundings, a lovely forest therapy trail and Maudie the host was super helpful with any questions, providing us with plenty of good firewood for the camp fire.

Our stay was great! We didn’t get in until after dark and left pre-sunrise which was unfortunate because it was a perfect, peaceful getaway in the forest that we didn’t get to fully appreciate. The sound of the brook, however, made for a great night’s sleep.

4 nights at Mountain View Gardens & Apiary
We (3 adults) stayed here over a long weekend in the Franconia+Littleton region. Temps dipped into the high 20s but hobbit stove kept us warm. Angela provided an electric blanket for the extra bed on the ground, as it's cooler towards the bottom of the yurt. We didn't need the electric blanket on the queen bed at all. Had plenty of water jugs brought to the yurt. The temps kept our food cool when left outside in a tote, but I'd bring a cooler with ice if headed here in the summer. 100% would stay here again, this is much homier than the big-brand yurt stays. Honey was fantastic and foraged some apples, made for some lovely applesauce!

Weekend Trip to Private Mountainside Forest Retreat
We stayed 3 nights here, and enjoyed it a lot. Took us about 3 wagon-loads back and forth to get all our stuff to the camp, but once we settled in it was very relaxing. Great tent and platform/porch, and an ample amount of open space on the site to set up hammocks and whatnot. The supplies provided (cooking rack, skewers, tongs, plates, etc) were greatly appreciated! Beautiful views and an attentive host.

This site was great! So well equipped between the wood and the grill. Was also quite cozy and cute with the layout being tiered along the brook. We only maybe wish we realized that our massive tents were maybe a little tight for the flat ground available but we made it work with two 8 person tents. Overall a great stay, being by the main road didn’t bother us at all and was a great last camp of the year!
