Harvey’s Hill is a private hilltop campsite with 360° sky views, unbeatable stargazing, and access to our rustic Cantina featuring bathrooms, warm running water, and a basic kitchen. Just 10 minutes off the highway in Epping, NH, it’s the perfect stopover or peaceful escape. Harvey's Hill has been a beloved part of Epping for generations. In the summer, you might see small planes taking off from the hilltop airstrip or locals walking their dogs up to catch the sunset. In the fall, my aunt Erica makes donuts down in the Milk Room, and in the winter, the hill fills with sledders racing down its snowy slope. Many celebrations have taken place here over the years, including weddings, reunions, and picnics. The Cantina is a new addition to the top of the hill. It includes three bathrooms, a kitchen, and electricity. While simple and minimalist, these amenities make the site more comfortable, and we hope they enhance your stay.

THIS CAN BE RENTED AS A CAMPSITE ONLY. Our 3-acre property is surrounded by beautiful countryside with lots country charm. At one point in the early 1900's it was home to itinerant farmers who farmed the nearby fields. Our property was the dumping grounds for the stones/rocks that were pulled from the fields. You will notice lots of them throughout the property! Our site is a well manicured area near our house on a 3-acre parcel. There is lots of sun and shade depending on when and where you happen to be on the site. There is plenty of space to pull out your favorite lawn game and a great firepit to keep warm at night. We are about 10 minutes from Clough State Park where there is plenty to do including swimming, paddling, biking, hiking, ATVing, etc. Our site has 50amp service and filtered well water (2 spigots). Depending on how long your RV is, you may not be able to put our your awning all the way.

Fantastic pitch next to the cantina on top of the hill. Amazing views, wild turkeys roaming and little fishing pond. Cider apple donuts for sale on site down the track. Cantina has toilets, kitchen (no stove) and water. Wash room with hot showers at the house down the hill. Brilliant place to stay.

We absolutely loved staying here! So many good things to say! Camping with THREE bathrooms with HOT water!! Directions to site were clear. Everything as described. Grass was nice and short at the site, which we appreciated. We were even able to find a 100% level spot without using our maxtrax which is also unheard of! The fields to the left and right side of the site had the corn harvested before we got there. While we were there, we got to see the field across be harvested which was pretty cool! The landing strip is also no joke, do not park near it. There was a plane that came by twice as what I’ll describe as doing a practice landing. It came down low to the runway as if it was going to land but didn’t. It was extremely cool to see! But shewwww felt close!

A hill in a cornfield with a 360 degree landscape? A beautiful, secluded tent site with a cozy picnic table setup and access to bathrooms. Truly one of the better sites I've visited. Would recommend!

We just bought our first RV and we were looking for a quiet site that has full hook up where we could practice using our RV and have a quiet place to bring our dog. The host was extremely helpful and kind and the site was perfect for what we were looking for. We will definitely be booking again! Thank you!

What a great spot!! Perfect for watching the sunrise and sunset. Having access to the sky-can was awesome! It had flushing toilets, a sink to wash dishes, a mini fridge and a toaster/air fryer oven! The spot is super roomy and has pinic tables too. I highly recommend this site.

Most private spot (no street visibility)

Beautiful scenery and setup spots. I don’t think my dogs had ever had so much private space to just wander before. They loved that. Host is super responsive. This was my first time needing to prime a well. Host came and did a quick impromptu lesson on priming. And I learned something new. You can hear/see vehicles going by a bit but it didn’t bother me. Would stay again for sure.

Sunrise Manor is an amazing place to camp. It is in a clearing, in a very private area, and you feel like truly you are a million miles away even though it’s only 15-20 mins from towns like Franklin or Andover. I even saw a shooting star. The hosts were very responsive and answered all our questions, both before and during our stay. The hookups are easy (we had a small RV) and great to have those amenities. But if you are tent camping they are not intrusive. The picnic table and Adirondack chairs with the fire pit were a great plus!

The site is fully shaded with a level gravel pad backed up to a wooded area. We had no problem backing into the pad and the hookups were in good working order. The location is very nice and we even had a flock of wild turkeys visit. Bryan was a very good host and responsive to communications. I would recommend this HipCamp.

Very nice secluded spot. Nice and flat for our camper. Site was close to the road but it's a quiet road so not noisy. Had everything we needed. Many places a short drive to get to, stores and places to walk/hike.

I loved camping at the Back 40 site. It’s got a great fire ring with a removable grate (awesome to cook dinner on), a nice picknik table, a tent platform, a nice gravel parking area. It sit on the edge of beautiful farmland. A short walk up the hill is an amazing spot to watch the sunrise and sunset. There are nice new bathrooms with showers too!! The land owners are incredibly kind and quick to respond. They sure make you feel right at home. I 10 out of 10 would highly recommend checking out this spot.
