17 sites · Tents · Bartlett, NH
Nestled in the heart of New Hampshire’s majestic White Mountains, camping by the brook and river offers a serene and immersive nature experience. The gentle sound of flowing water becomes your constant companion, lulling you to sleep under a canopy of stars and evergreens. Wake to birdsong and the fresh scent of pine, with crystal-clear streams just steps from your tent—perfect for cooling off or dipping your toes after a hike. Surrounded by rugged peaks and vibrant forest, our campsites offers both tranquility and adventure. Whether you're sipping coffee by the brook, fishing in the river, or setting out on a nearby trail like those in the Presidential Range or along the Kancamagus Highway, the experience is peaceful, rejuvenating, and deeply connected to the rhythms of the natural world. Ideal for tent campers, hammock hangers, and families seeking a quiet retreat, this camping spot in the White Mountains is a hidden gem—where time slows down and nature takes center stage. Stay at one of our fifteen walk-in campsites, each tucked along the river or brook for a peaceful, back-to-nature experience. These are carry-in, carry-out sites—perfect for campers who appreciate simplicity and solitude. Bring your own tent, as none are provided. There’s no running water on-site, so be sure to pack enough for drinking and cooking, though bottled water is available for purchase at the camp store. A clean and convenient porta potty is located nearby for your comfort. Wi-Fi is available throughout the property, along with free access to electricity in the common area. You're invited to visit our tree nursery, where we grow a variety of pine, spruce, and hemlock trees. We're passionate about agritourism and love sharing what we do—come learn how our trees are grown, nurtured, and prepared for planting. Curious minds are welcome—tours are available upon request!

4. The Skyframe

1 site · Lodging · Springvale, ME
Skyframe is one of 5 luxurious tiny homes that make up Littlefield Retreat, a tranquil woodland village of 3 treehouses and 2 hobbit houses – each with its own private hot tub and dock. To see all five dwellings, click on the photo to the left of “Hosted by Bryce”, then click “Show more…”. This 15-acre forest retreat on Littlefield Pond offers our guests an experience that feels like a trip up to the woods of northern Maine, but is closer to home and to all the attractions of southern Maine. The space Waking up in your treehouse, the first thing you feel is peace. No traffic, no sirens, no planes flying overhead. Only birdsong—the cry of a loon, the piping of a chickadee. Through the windows, you see only leaves, like green glass, filtering the early morning light. Below you, on the ground, a doe and her fawn pick their way down to the pond. They do not hurry, for there is nothing here to frighten them. Downstairs in the kitchen, coffee is brewing. Your tablet is charging on the windowsill. You could check your email or social media, but for some reason you don’t want the world to intrude. Out on the deck, a warm mug cradled in your hands, you and your partner plan your morning. Perhaps you’ll paddle the kayak across Littlefield Pond while the mist still lies thick on its smooth surface. Or take a fishing pole down to your private dock to catch brook trout for breakfast. Or maybe just soak in the hot tub and listen to the forest awaken. In the afternoon, you sit by the woodstove, engrossed in that book you’ve always meant to read. Your companions are playing a board game at the table, but mostly laughing and talking—about everything and nothing. You look up from your book and smile. For a moment you think about your life back home and ask yourself, “Why do we own so much stuff? What would our lives be like if we lived more like this, with fewer—but lovelier—things?
