I’ve lived on this property for over 40 years of my life, exploring and camping many times in these woods. I decided to build an A-frame cabin perched on the hill that overlooks the brook a few years back and it has quickly become my happy place.
This site is a great space to be in the woods, but not too far from things. You can explore the 15+ acres of woods, take a dip in the water, forage mushrooms or just sit under the pines.
The cabin is just a few minute walk past the tree line and very private. We are thrilled to share this beautiful peaceful space with you. .

Perfect peaceful spot to relax and shut down. We didn't really need anything but we knew April was there if we did. There are a lot of little things April leaves in the cabin in case you forget anything which is appreciated. It is decorated so cute with little lights inside which I appreciated at night. The spot is gorgeous with the sound and sights of a brook and trees. What more could you ask for? Sitting by the fire watching the moon rise and sipping coffee with the sun rise was so enjoyable. We didn't bring our dogs but will in the future. A great spot for them. You are in nature and have total peace but with the security of knowing April is right there if needed and hiking and stores are close by if you need them. Highly recommend this spot.

I loved camping on Lori's land. All the glamping tents are very private, and you have to walk about 100 yards from the car, so there is no noise at all. The outhouse was super clean and so cool inside. The bed in the tent was very comfortable and had enough room for the dog as well. The land is beautiful with North Conway only a 30 min drive for great food and coffee! I highly recommend this Hip Camp!

Cutest little cabin nestled in a well loved place. The area built out for camping was so lovely and everything in the cabin was well thought out. We were unfortunately there during a burn ban but there was a lovely propane fire we were able to use and it was perfect. Listening to the creek while drinking my morning coffee was so so perfect.

Had a fantastic time! Kevin was very responsive to questions ahead of time, well maintained site and easy directions for locating it. Only flaw was the amount of noise coming from the motor speedway nearby. The location and views outweighed this minor annoyance since we just opted to put on a playlist to drown it out. The evenings around the campfire were filled with nature sounds and the babbling water. We’d stay here again! Kevin as a great host!

Peaceful and gorgeous forest camping! Lori was great at communicating directions, etc. and the campsite felt tucked away with nice touches like picnic table, high counter for cooking, comfy chairs and camp ring. Really nicely done trails and out house on the property too. Great access for any outdoor adventures around Evans Notch!

Amazing campsite! Wish I could’ve stayed longer. Beautiful meadow on one site and cool creek on the other. Great tent platform and plenty of room for our 23’ trailer. Gorgeous sunsets on the field! Kevin was responsive and helpful. I’d love to come back next time I’m in the area.

This was a great campsite! Close to the hikes in White Mountain yet enough away from the crowd. The tent setup and beds are cozy, there are a lot of supplies to use, and as everyone says but worth repeating this is the nicest and cleanest outhouse I've seen. Unfortunately I was only here for a brief stay as I was just passing through, but would love to come back for a longer time.

We had the best camping weekend at Horseshoe Bend! We walked the river, watched a bald eagle, did some local hikes, and got ice cream at the goat barn just down the road. Kids, adults, and dogs were very happy! The only knock on this site is that there is a racetrack of some kind across the road, so on the weekend it was quite loud for most of the day. Other than that, the site was perfect and Kevin was a great host!

This was my second time at Horseshoe Bend with my dogs and first time at Site 1. It was a very short walk to the tent platform right on the river. There was a campfire ring by the tent and picnic table and another right on the riverbank. Site 1 is very private and very serene, especially when falling asleep to the sound of the river. We even had a very large Blue Heron right across the river join us for an entire morning too! As always, Kevin is super responsive and both times I’ve been here, the sites are very clean and well maintained.

We highly recommend Lori's Butterhill for an outdoor getaway! It was so nice to be able to take my boys camping without packing and setting up all the gear. Everything was clean, aesthetic, and homey. We rented the propane heater and cracked the tent windows a little for ventilation. It was so cozy overnight! No more freezing cold camping nights. I especially loved the french press so I could enjoy a hot cup of coffee around our morning campfire.
Lori couldn't be more friendly. The whole experience went so well that we're already planning to come back! It's worth every penny!
Thanks Lori!
