One car only please. Add the other site if you have 2 cars. I have 2 sites + 2 parking places. This spot is a flat area on my lawn. You may actually camp anywhere on the lawn but the place shown is actually flat. See the picture above. Also included is use of a composting toilet, a fire pit, a grill ( bring your own charcoal), outdoor sinks and shower with hot and cold water..in season. The sink shower and tiny kitchen are closed at 9 PM. Swimming is a five minute walk. Many hikes in town and right out the door.  Monadnock region of the State. Quiet time 9 pm. Meet and greet before 8 pm. If you arrive after eight, we are often going to bed. If you come in late, there will be no one to show you around and it will be very dark, you can set up your tent where you would like. And you may park anywhere as long as it is on gravel and it is not blocking anyone else. There is firewood, right next to the fire pit. Within 2 feet. Please do not take our firewood from the further off piles because we use that to stay warm inside. Come during daylight hours to get instructions on fire pit use. Also, this site can be booked if you want to stay in your car or van or truck and just park. Usually, you can park in the driveway that has the red wire chicken on the tree and the Blue Heron sign next to it. Please stay on the gravel for Parking. WiFi. Network : Fin, password: blueheron162!

One car only please. Add booking of the other site if you have two cars. I have two sites and two parking places. This booking is for camping in the yard. View of the garden and hoop house. Surround of the forest. And you can see the house. Outdoors: shower, sink, and water, (closed at 9 pm) composting toilet building. Many hikes , swimming close by. Quiet time 9 pm. Meet and greet before 8 pm. People who come after dark are on their own. If you do come after dark You will need to feel comfortable parking in the driveway, you’ll need to find things in the dark. There are no lights here. People keep coming in the dark and they keep leaving right away after a few minutes because they can’t see. Dogs on a leash, please. There are free range chickens. The fire pit can be used for a small fire, but you need to come during a time that it is light to get instruction on where the wood is. Bring your own matches. 9 PM quiet time. Also general peacefulness and quietness during the day. There are other people here. No parties. Lots of hiking and even swimming within walking distance. Many other trails marked out in town.

Blue Heron Camp offers a peaceful camping experience with a warm and attentive host, Kris, who provides helpful recommendations and ensures guests have what they need. The site features amenities like an outdoor shower, compost toilet, and a small kitchen, with a rustic but welcoming feel. Campers can enjoy the serene environment, complete with gardens, chickens, and quiet spots to set up camp. While most reviews highlight the friendliness and tranquility of the site, a few mention the lack of privacy due to its proximity to Kris's home.
