ATFS Certified Tree Farm Est. 2004
Camp with your group at our private Tree Farm / Recreation Area. Established in 2004, we are an 87 acre ATFS certified Tree Farm located in the Blue Hills Range in the Foothills to NH’s White Mountains. Choose from one of four unique sites / outdoor spaces to best fit your camping needs. Book a combination to reserve a section of the mountain, or book all four sites for total privacy or for events. Message anytime if you’re looking to use the property for a private event and we’d be happy to work with you!
Our Farm spans the northerly side of Hussey Mountain from the base to the summit. Guests are provided with private access to several miles of multi-use nature trails, multiple scenic lookouts, a three acre PYO blueberry maze, and a dock on our private eight acre pond with available boat rentals.
At the 2WD shared parking area guests are provided with a outdoor shower with hot and cold water, a portable toilet, garden hose for washing, a power strip for charging devices, and a spigot with potable water for filling containers.
Over two decades ago we created our first campsite for the purpose of hosting family and friends. Folks enjoyed camping on the mountain so much they often would choose our farm over traditional campgrounds. Hosting campers became a regular weekend event, and to accommodate more people we created three more sites spread out across the property. In 2020, we came across the Hipcamp app and started offering private reservations to the public. Since, we have been hosting campers on a daily basis and continuously improving our sites / infrastructure / views. We’re excited to see what the next two decades hold; come join us on the mountain!
Things to do on the mountain SPRING-FALL include…
Hiking on several miles of maintained nature trails marked with clear signage for easy day/night navigation. Relaxing/taking in the scenery from several scenic lookouts located on and around the mountain’s summit; combined they provide a 360-degree view spanning from the NH/ME Seacoast to the White Mountains of NH, to the Green Mountains of VT. Fishing, paddling, swimming, or relaxing on our dock. Bird/wildlife watching, berry picking, stargazing and leaf peeping.
This is a place you can easily spend a few days and keep busy!

Immerse yourself in a century old Hemlock and Beech forest overlooking a spring fed mountain brook as it cascades around granite boulders. The biodiversity here is thriving and some of the trees are as old as the country.
The site is set up to be easy from the minute you pull in. We have a single, private site- it's wide, level, scratch-free, with a granite firepit, firewood for purchase on site, a fast dry double hammock, a live edge picnic table, screaming WiFi, a kid friendly target game, no limitations on generator use and a mile of private trails.
The firepit is a stunning spot to settle in on the Adirondack chairs and enjoy a crackling fire tucked in the towering trees and moss. The sound of the brook Is an ASMR dream and you may see a heron, a bald eagle or a mink who are regular visitors.
While you’ll feel miles from civilization, our high-speed WiFi allows for seamless remote work, stargazing with a soundtrack or streaming your favorite shows on a rainy day.
New for 2026, we have doubled our private trail system! The trails on either side of the brook wander through both sides of our property to secluded spots where you can see the remains of a beaver lodge and dam (currently between occupants). Our game cameras regularly capture porcupines, bobcats, owls, herons, otters, eagles, and just about every eastern woodland animal and bird you can imagine. This spring there is a bald eagle who fishes in front of the cabin most days.
We are Brad and Christine and we live further up the driveway in our solar-powered log cabin. While you may catch glimpses of the red cabin or solar array through the trees, we honor your privacy while being nearby in case you need something. We don't overlook the site directly, and you can't see us beyond the occasional glimpse or on the trails passing closer to the buildings. We drive down the driveway past the site if we are leaving or returning home, which we minimize when we have guests.
We are located two miles down a gravel road, 2 miles off Rt. 16, you are 15 minutes from groceries, pharmacies, EV charging, gas, and a local campground who can arrange for you to dump your tanks. We are in East Wolfeboro, a half hour drive to Downtown. Historic Portsmouth, NH and the Maine coast are an hour away.

Amazing. Clean. Safe. Maintained and private. We had an amazing time and loved every moment. The surrounding area offers so much to do and see. The stars in the evening sky were unforgettable. The dragonflies and bats swooping down were a nightly event to see. The privy was clean, and there is plenty of wood all around the property. We sprayed our dogs daily for ticks, and all was good!

Where to go
Lakes Region
New Hampshire’s Lakes Region is home to such gems as Lake Winnipesaukee (the state’s largest lake), Squam Lake, Newfound Lake, Ossipee Lake, and Lake Sunapee, all of which offer activities from boating and waterskiing in the summer to ice fishing in the winter. Ellacoya State Park on the southwest shore of Lake Winnipesaukee has a campground for RVs and trailers.
Pawtuckaway Lake
Under an hour south of Milton, the 803-acre Lake Pawtuckaway is a magnet for visitors who can swim and paddle in the lake and hike and bike in the surrounding Pawtuckaway State Park. Campers can stay overnight at the seasonal Pawtuckaway Campground.
White Mountains
The towering peaks, hiking trails, and waterfalls of the White Mountains are a haven for outdoor adventurers. Less than two hours north of Milton, Franconia Notch State Park is home to the Flume, a natural gorge extending 800 feet at the base of Mount Liberty, and has two campgrounds.
Hanover
Home of the Ivy League Dartmouth College, Hanover also appeals to outdoor adventurers who will find many trails to choose from, including Moose Mountain and the Appalachian Trail, which runs down Main Street.
When to go
Spring and summer are the ideal times to visit to enjoy activities on the lakes and hiking on the trails—though summer visitors should plan ahead and be prepared for crowds. September and October are also appealing, with the landscape busting into rich hues of reds and oranges as the leaves turn. Winters are relatively crowd-free and offer winter sports activities.
