At the 2WD shared parking area guests are provided with a outdoor shower with hot and cold water, a portable toilet, garden hose for washing, a power strip for charging devices, and a spigot with potable water for filling containers. Over two decades ago we created our first campsite for the purpose of hosting family and friends. Folks enjoyed camping on the mountain so much they often would choose our farm over traditional campgrounds. Hosting campers became a regular weekend event, and to accommodate more people we created three more sites spread out across the property. In 2020, we came across the Hipcamp app and started offering private reservations to the public. Since, we have been hosting campers on a daily basis and continuously improving our sites / infrastructure / views. We’re excited to see what the next two decades hold; come join us on the mountain! Things to do on the mountain SPRING-FALL include… Hiking on several miles of maintained nature trails marked with clear signage for easy day/night navigation. Relaxing/taking in the scenery from several scenic lookouts located on and around the mountain’s summit; combined they provide a 360-degree view spanning from the NH/ME Seacoast to the White Mountains of NH, to the Green Mountains of VT. Fishing, paddling, swimming, or relaxing on our dock. Bird/wildlife watching, berry picking, stargazing and leaf peeping. This is a place you can easily spend a few days and keep busy!

We offer overnight horse boarding in clean, comfortable stalls with access to a full indoor riding arena — perfect rain or shine. We’re a farm… without animals. So basically, it’s just land with commitment issues. That said, wildlife like bears occasionally show up to remind us who’s really in charge. Bring your RV or pitch your tent under the stars and soak in the quiet, natural beauty that surrounds you. Just minutes away, explore scenic Clough State Park or hit the trails at the Hopkinton-Everett Riding Area — one of the largest off-road riding systems in New England. Whether you’re here to ride, relax, or simply unplug, this is your home away from home in the countryside. Quick heads-up: Cell service is limited here. If the lower barn space is open, you’re welcome to hook up there during your stay. Also, note that you’ll be entering the White Mountain region, where the roads can be a bit challenging — but totally manageable for big rigs. We have one ourselves and do just fine, so no worries — it’s absolutely doable!
