Tipi Camping at Thunder K Ranch
4. Tipi Camping at Thunder K Ranch
Lempster, NH · 1 site
We are excited to offer this amazing tipi camping experience on our working horse property. The tipi design is the basic Sioux design, and the makers of our tipi were chosen to provide ALL the tipis for the movie "Dances with Wolves," because of their respect for authenticity and excellent craftsmanship.
The tipi is 18' W x 15' H. Inside is roughly 16' diameter and 13'2" high. It has a 6' entrance with zipper door and mosquito mesh. There is mosquito netting around the top smoke flaps and a critter guard mesh that covers the bottom circumference edge where the tipi and floor meet. To keep things warm on those chilly nights or take out the crisp morning air, there is a small wood pellet stove inside. There is a queen size futon and plenty of space to sleep on the floor with your own sleeping bags or cots. The maximum occupancy is 6 people. The campsite setup is a mixture of Indian and Cowboy western culture. It has a dining area close to the tipi with a picnic table. You can relax at the fire pit area beside the Kampfire Cauldron (hand made on site!) and enjoy cookouts, campfires, and great conversations with friends and family while listening to the calm waters of Giles brook a few feet away. Firewood is included in your stay. An outhouse is also located nearby, so you don't have too entirely "rough it". Potable water can be provided if you did not bring your own. More info on campsite and local activities is provided on our website at https://thunder-k.com/tipi-camping-1 (hiking trails, parks, lakes, horseback rides, kayaking, fishing, motorsports, relaxing creek on site, axe throwing, range, skiing/tubing, and so much more!

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!

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!

We had a lovely stay at the Stargazer! It was so peaceful, quiet, and cozy. Lori sent helpful and clear directions ahead of time on how to get to the site. The tent kept us nice and warm during a cool fall night and the outdoor space was beautiful!

1 night at Butter Hill Hideaway-Forest Retreat
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.

El was a fantastic host that made this independently-run campground an amazing stop for a weekend. He’s generous and welcoming, provided fresh eggs and coffee, a bonfire, showed me to the farmers market - I don’t think I’ve ever been to a campground like this before. Awesome hiking and lakes nearby :)

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!

Weekend Trip to Butter Hill Hideaway-Forest Retreat
Absolutely loved this stay so much! Went for my annual trip up to NH for my birthday, and this was the best one yet by far!! The site was incredible, perfectly secluded but still easy enough to get to with close proximity to the lovely kept bathroom. The bed was super comfy, with extra blankets to cozy up with. We were greeted by the hosts beautiful and super smiley pups in the morning which really just topped it all off for me. 10/10 will absolutely be back!!

We loved our stay on Lori’s property! The pictures really don’t do how beautiful it is justice. The wood chip covered paths were a hit with my toddler who had a blast exploring. What you have likely read in other reviews about the outhouse is true they are superbly clean and well decorated. Lori was so friendly and kind- we loved everything about our stay!

It's a neat and clean campground. The restrooms were spotless. It's peaceful and beautiful. The linens package I received was a pleasant bonus. Comforter and pillows were plush, sheets were nice and towels seemed new. Very nice! Staff was pleasant and polite. It's been over 15 years since I've been camping and the cabin with linens was a step up I needed. I would book again.
