The land was beautiful and spacious! Unfortunately it rained on us our whole stay so we didn’t get to enjoy the fire pit . Make sure you wear decent shoes to trek through the path because there are some roots and rocks.

Franconia Forest - 5 Private Acres
Very easy to get to! My family and I were only here for one night but it was so nice. Fall colors all around and the perfect stop on our New England road trip. The parking was not bad. We had a Camry and Corolla and were able to park with no issues. Worth the price and the host was easy to communicate with. You should definitely book!

Very peaceful stay, the tent platform is in great shape and the forest was a nice get away. Recommend going to Rek Lis brewing that’s really close by too. Really cool small town.

This site was easy to get to, was tidy with nice amenities, but felt so remote! Would definitely love to camp here again!

Had a great time here. The host is very nice, and the site is very clean. There is some road traffic, but you can only hear it if a large truck goes by. It’s mostly drowned out by the brook though! I had enough reception for check in text with family. Bug bite tip: across the road there are some bushes of spotted jewel weed. In a pinch, crush a bit and rub on to help with itching (if you don’t have an allergy of some sort). Look for orange flowers resembling a trumpet.

We loved tent camping on Christopher's land. It was beautiful, private and spacious. The sounds of the brook close by were really lovely as well. You can hear cars from the site but it's a fairly quiet road so not a big deal. We will definitely be back :)

We have returned to this spot two years in a row now and love it so much! It’s the perfect spot for a quiet camp out while still being close to tons of hiking trails and Bethlehem/ Littleton in case you need a quick restock.

The site was clean, private, and genuinely a hidden gem!! There were chairs on site along with the fire pit, platform for the tent, and a pop up bathroom with the essentials. Hosts were super friendly and easy to connect with. Definitely will be rebooking

The directions are clear and easy to follow. The walk from the car is about 1 minute just watch out for your ankles cause it is walking over tree trunks and a tad muddy if it is rainy during your stay. It was absolutely stunning with a river you here as you fall asleep

Great campsite! The tent platform was a life saver. Even though it was thunder and lightning all night, we still had a blast! My dog loved swimming in the river and having the camp area to herself. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

We loved it here! Waking up to the sounds of
the creek was so peaceful. The tent platform definitely came in handy in keeping us dry during a thunderstorm. It was also nice to have chairs around the fire pit. The site isn’t far from the parking area, but is very private and really feels like you’re in the woods. It’s also close to great swimming and hiking- I recommend Echo Lake, Ripley Falls, and the Basin.

Great space in a great location! Convenient to Franconia Notch state park and to the town of Franconia. Loved falling asleep next to the stream :)

We love the plot of land this site is on. Christopher was extremely helpful and quick to answer any questions we had. The creek was a wonderful to explore, and the elevated tent platform was ideal for the rain. Overall, we had a great experience and lovely time at this campsite. Well maintained and marked. Will be coming back! 🤗

Secluded Paradise: a Gift of Nature
How do I give this campsite raving reviews but also keep it a secret?! This secluded gem left me absolutely spellbound. The large tent platform was a game-changer, providing a cozy, elevated haven that kept us off the uneven ground. As if that wasn't enough, the gentle melody of the beautiful brook flowing by the site lulled us into a serene sleep each night.
The good-sized fire pit was a focal point of our evenings, where we shared stories and roasted marshmallows under the star-studded sky. It's the epitome of what you'd expect at a rustic campsite, but it goes the extra mile. There was even a rake thoughtfully provided to clear leaves from the site, ensuring it stayed pristine throughout our stay.
The campsite's accessibility is another winner. A sturdy bridge on the trail from the parking area provided safe passage, even for those with heavy gear. The clearly marked trail leading to the site removed any worry of getting lost in the wilderness.
What truly sets this campsite apart is its privacy. It felt like we had the entire forest to ourselves, making it the ideal retreat for nature lovers seeking tranquility. The subtle rustling of leaves, the gentle rush of the brook, and the crackling campfire created a symphony of natural sounds that allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the beauty of the outdoors.
In 1,500 characters, it's challenging to encapsulate just how incredible this campsite is. It's a well-kept secret, a slice of heaven tucked away in the wilderness

Christopher’s campsite was great. Just a short walk from the car and you’re at a perfect little site with a running creek, large platform for a tent, fire pit and chairs. It was far enough from the road that it was still quiet and peaceful, yet close enough that it felt safe even alone. Only 20 min from all the trails I wanted to do. Highly recommend!

Christopher's forest space was perfect. Exactly as listed, and really enjoyed the leaves changing and falling all around the campsite. Thank you!

We had a lovely time at this site! The walk in from parking was fine, but I agree a daytime setup is recommended. The platform is wonderful and the placement of the fireplace near the brook was lovely. Private area with quick access to town if needed. It was a bit slippery in some muddy/uneven areas, but not bad. We'd love to stay again if we're in the area!

So fun!!!! Full outdoor experience without be an hour from civilization. Platform was clean and level. New azek type decking. Fire pit was clean with little stones all around. Babbling brook was perfection! Car was close enough (1 minute stroll) could leave extra supplies and walk back when we needed them. 4 plastic Adirondack style chairs for relaxing by the fire.

Listen, if it hadn't been for the pull of Franconia Notch Park and its hiking, we've just stayed at the site the whole trip. It's secluded without being too hard to get to or too far from access. Directions are clear and expectations exceeded. The platform is HUGE. The whole site is perfect
