We love this camp site! It literally has everything you would need! Morning coffee on the deck in the Adirondack chairs is the most peaceful and best way to start the day. We love taking the boats out on the lake and taking a dip in the hot tub. This was our third time going to this site and we are looking forward to coming back in the future!

Weekend Trip to BASE CAMP NH
Base camp was a beautiful spot for my son and I to hang out an relax for the night it’s a generous and impeccably maintained property nestled in an incredible grove of trees; and easy to find as it’s tucked just off a quiet road. I was worried about being cold in mid-October but we couldn’t have been more comfortable with the space heater and cozy bedding.
Joseph’s communication and hospitality were top notch too! We highly recommend this property.

Weekend Trip to BASE CAMP NH
A wonderful setup and a very gracious and considerate host! The hot shower was very appreciated after the long day out getting there. Some beautiful panoramic views just a short walk from the camp, especially now during leaf season. Will definitely be back!

Weekend Trip to BASE CAMP NH
We had a great experience. The hosts were very accommodating and the ammenities were top notch. Would come back here in heartbeat.
Make sure to bring earplugs! There is a (beautiful) church that has a clock tower that goes off very early.

We had a wonderful time camping at Base Camp and would definitely stay there again when we visit Canaan. Joseph went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

This is a great camping spot. The nearby waterfall provides a constant blanket of sound that insulates you from the outside world so it feels very isolated without being "in the middle of nowhere". It is well equipped with everything you could need (except food & clothes) and the host provides lots of info about local things to do.

Certainly better accommodations than expected. The tent site was private and had all the essentials you could need. Just bring your fishing rod, a meal, and your favorite drink. Our children loved “living” on the tent site for the weekend. They are already asking the next time we can go. Thank you for a perfect weekend to bid farewell to summer.

My family and I loved the quiet and peaceful place, sleeping with the sound of the water, getting up, lighting the bonfire, and above all, our two dogs accompanied us and enjoyed themselves. It was two unforgettable days.
Samantha was very kind and showed us everything we had access to. I hope it's a place to return to soon.

The safari tent site is perfect. Very private. The screen house was awesome for when it got a bit too buggy or for games when it was drizzling. We had a great time.

It is very well kept. It’s Spacious and Inviting. One and Only bummer is the amount of vehicles you see and hear driving by but I Definitely recommend this site. The host is so incredible, he is who will make it so you’ll want to return.

We had a perfect stay at the Safari Tent - what a beautiful spot with a perfect setup and caring hospitality. The camp site felt secluded and private, yet not far from our car if we needed to get something. The tent with air mattresses worked well (they even had spares just in case), while the screened-in dining area, clean latrine, fire pit with chairs and ample firewood supply, as well as sturdy picnic table with work bench for our cooking setup made our site feel complete and comfortable with minimal effort. The best part was the sound of the waterfall had me sleeping like a baby all night :)
We made use of the kayaks for fishing and racing across the scenic pond, and the hot tub in the evening to relax after a day of adventuring. Lots to see in the region - I highly recommend the White Birch General Store in town for fine coffee and sandwiches, and Pack Monadnock mountain for a good hike that leads to spectacular views!
Our host was very welcoming, gave us space to be on our own but provided prompt support when we reached out with questions. I'd be very happy to visit again, and recommend this place to those seeking an easy and beautiful place to stay.

Weekend Trip to Tiny House, Horse Trailer, S Tent
Me and my two friends had a wonderful stay at the safari tent! Donna was super informative and welcoming. The tent itself had everything we needed including storage and lanterns. They also recently added another outdoor patio area that was tented in that was perfect for food and games away from bugs (which there were a lot of, not that there is much they can do about that). Would come again!

This tent was perfect! There was an old record player which was really nice to use early morning and at night. Firewood was available at the campsite and the outhouse was clean and exclusive to the campsite. Lanterns were available inside the tent which was great. Using the hot tub at nice was nice and private as well, and being able to use boats was fun. The only downside at the site itself was mosquitoes, couldn’t leave the tent open for more than 10 seconds. I have DOZENS of bites

We enjoyed our stay at the Teeny Cabin, despite the weather (rain off and on). We went fishing, took walks to explore, our kids enjoyed riding the bikes, we loved the hot tub, enjoyed the nature and everything about it. And both Donna and Samantha were wonderful! We will be back!

The best safari tents near Concord guide
Where to go
In Town
Meandering through the city center, the Merrimack River provides ample opportunities for swimming, fishing, canoeing, and kayaking, offering an outdoors experience within city limits. Outfitters in town rent paddle boards, canoes, and kayaks. On the western side of town, 85-acre Winant Park is laced with short but steep trails.
Lakes Region
An hour’s drive gets you to Lake Winnipesaukee, New Hampshire’s largest lake, which together with Squam, Winnisquam, Newfound, and Ossipee lakes forms the Lakes Region. It’s an all-season destination where activities on offer range from hiking and boating in summer to skiing on Gunstock Mountain in winter. On the southwest shore of Lake Winnipesaukee, Ellacoya State Park has a campground for RVs and trailers.
White Mountains
An hour and a half from Concord, the White Mountains are an all-season haven for outdoor adventurers. You can drive the scenic Kancamagus Highway through the White Mountain National Forest; go skiing in Bretton Woods, and hike or ride the cog railway to the summit of Mount Washington. Overnight options range from RV parks to dispersed camping.
When to Go
Spring and summer are ideal for enjoying the trails and river activities, making these the most popular seasons to visit Concord and the surrounding area. September and October have a different appeal, with cooler temperatures and the landscape busting into rich fall colors: driving the Kancamagus Highway is a great way to view foliage. Winter offers an entirely different experience and opportunities for activities including skiing and dog sledding.
