Bear Brook has everything you’d expect from New Hampshire’s largest developed state park: 40 miles of hiking, biking, cross-country skiing, and equestrian trails; hidden bogs, marshes, and ponds; a day-use area, group areas, and campsites; boat rentals—even two archery ranges. Then again, you might opt to simply kick back and soak up some sun on the beach. Of course, if you’d rather spend your time indoors than out, make your way to the Museum Complex. It’s home to the New Hampshire Antique Snowmobile Museum, Old Allenstown Meeting House, and the Richard Diehl Civilian Conservation Corps Museum. Little more than an hour’s drive from both Boston and Portland, this is southeast New Hampshire’s crossroads for adventure.

ATFS Certified Tree Farm Est. 2004
Camp with your group at our private Tree Farm / Conservation / 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.
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!

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. .

This hand crafted cabin provides acres of seclusion and peace! You’ll begin your mornings with the sweeping views of the valleys and peaks of neighboring hills. Days can be filled with hiking or mountain bike trails for you alone! (10 exclusive acres of the 250) Visit nearby, loon inhabited, Walker Pond where fishing or kayaking are a favorite pastime. In the evenings, you can drop into Concord, NH…a short 20 minute ride for dinner or all the nightlife and shopping our capital city has to offer. We’d instead recommend staying right on the property-the sweeping sunsets won’t be surpassed. Grill your kabobs right over the open fire or in the propane provided grill. You know what follows…s’mores by your private campfire where the stars are brightest in the middle of this 250 acre farm. It’s sure to put a twinkle in your eye! It could seem difficult to pull yourself away, but the luxuriously appointed queen bed is sure to beckon you for a restful night…keep the many screened windows open!
Please be aware there are two security cameras, one at the entrance and one at the Owls Nest Guest Only Sign. There are no cameras around the cabin.

We have two outdoor showers that are very rustic and open and the water is the temperature of the surrounding air (bring a bathing suit or something to shower in, there is no privacy fence at this time) This is an active farm that has an operating butcher shop on the premises. We have a farm store offering a variety of items for sale including eggs, honey, rubs and much more. There is a microwave available to the campers in the farm store as well.

Coffee (from a local NH roaster), tea, hot chocolate and potable water (from the faucet) will be available daily.

One of the prettiest sites we’ve stayed at and lots to explore here, can’t wait to come back! Eben met us at the driveway and went over everything with us which was really helpful. The site was a few minutes walk from the parking area and is steep so not for the faint of heart but well worth the effort. The trails were easy to follow and had beautiful look outs as well as a basketball hoop and horseshoes. Our site was huge and had great spots to hangout with chairs, hammocks and a picnic table by the fire pit. I can’t say enough nice things about this place and our experience.

I had a relaxing stay at site #1 for two nights. It was nice to be able to park my motorcycle loaded with all my gear close to the site. Firewood set up was great and appreciated, as I arrived late on Friday and it was already dark. Others mentioned the highway noise but I think the sound of the running brook drowned out the noise. Slept like a rock both nights. The site was beautiful and well maintained. Directions were spot on. My only complaint would be that I didn’t have more time to explore the property and surrounding scenic areas.. also, that Mother Nature wasn’t very kind on Sunday… nothing like packing up in the rain lol. I will definitely be back for another stay!! Thanks again Peter, for providing a relaxing retreat!

Staying here was such a fun, memorable experience. Site 5 was level and easy to set up, which made for a great night’s sleep. Coffee with the alpacas was a highlight — even in the rain, we didn’t mind at all. Sipping hot coffee while spending time with them was such a unique experience. They’re beautiful, friendly, and full of personality, and it was fun to see how curious they were about us too. We’d absolutely come back.

Wonderful location and property. We stayed at site 4. Definitely would recommend. Only drawback was we struggled to sustain a strong fire with the wood which could have been more dry so we wound up gathering sticks to burn, but that’s likely just due to the early part of the season. Thank you for a nice weekend.

This place was great! Our site was perfect and our host was kind and helpful. We camped at site 10. Just a few steps from our tentsite was a small pond. There were herons nesting in a tree on the pond, beavers cruising around, white-tailed deer making their way across the field on the far side...tons of wildlife. It was a great trip.

We stayed at Site 5 (Jesse James Hideout) and loved how private it felt — level ground, surrounded by trees, with a nice view of the sky. The firewood we bought was exactly what we needed for the night. We spent the evening by the fire reading and relaxing, and both slept incredibly well — my husband said it was his best night of sleep in months. Elle was a fantastic host — very kind, responsive, and genuinely helpful. She gave great kayaking recommendations and shared a local trail booklet, which made the stay even better. We can’t wait to come back and explore more.

This was our second time booking Peter’s campsite. The first time we came, everything was covered in snow, so we didn’t really get into the campsite.
This time, we chose a spot right by the river. Falling asleep to the sound of the water and waking up with sunlight shining into the tent was such a beautiful experience.
What we really love about this place is how private it feels. Even if the campground is full in the summer, you can’t see other sites nearby — it still feels quiet and secluded.
We will definitely come back again. I’m sure it will feel completely different in the summer.

We originally booked another campsite, but it turned out to be really disappointing, so we decided to cancel last minute and look for another option. That’s when we found Peter.
When we arrived, the ground was still covered in snow and we had trouble finding the way in. Peter immediately came out to meet us and personally guided us to the site, which we really appreciated.
Since we were the only ones camping that night, he kindly told us to pick any spot we liked. The place itself is very private, peaceful, and absolutely beautiful — there’s even a small waterfall nearby, which made the experience even more special.
Overall, it turned out to be such a great and memorable stay. Thank you, Peter, for being so helpful and welcoming!
