A unique glamping getaway nestled on a mountainside, 4 miles from Evans Notch, in Chatham, NH. We have three 10x12 glamping tents tucked away in the forest on 6 acres, behind our home with glimpses of the surrounding mountains through the trees. Private and tranquil- each tent has a queen sized bed with flannel sheets, a light comforter, and a lantern. The front porch has two Adirondack chairs looking out over the forest. Each campsite has a fire pit, picnic table, and a cabinet filled with basic cook wear, plates and cups, a French press, kettle, and utensils for making meals over a campfire. Our double-header outhouse is clean and beautiful- a guest favorite! There is a short 1/8 mile walk through the woods to the camp- we provide garden wagons to tote your gear. Follow the camp path to our wooded sanctuary, sleep among the trees, marvel at the stars, tell tall tales around the fire, and unwind! Check out our instagram for more pics and videos @butterhillhideaway A private walking trail loops around the property. Lots of local hiking, swimming holes, fishing, biking, and scenic drives! 5 minutes to Evans Notch, NH 30 minutes to North Conway, NH 20 minutes to Fryeburg, ME 25 minutes to Bethel, ME

Tent site · Sleeps 4
Silver Birch is out first pitch-a-tent-site! Tucked away at the back of our camp among silver birch, pines, and maple trees- this is a beautiful spot for you to pitch your tent. South-facing, peaceful and quiet, with a little peek through the trees of the distant mountains. This site has a fire pit, 2 Aidrondak charis, trash bin, a picnic table with cabinet that is stocked with a cast-iron pan, plates and silverware, cups, mugs and a saucepan for boiling water! THERE IS NO TENT HERE- YOU MUST BRING YOUR OWN!! We also have a beautiful, clean outhouse nearby, as well as garden wagons for you to bring your gear to the site. Parking is in my driveway. It is a short walk to the site. In winter we are SNOWMOBILE and SNOWSHOE access ONLY! There is a place at the bottom of the hill for trailers, and the snowmobile corridor is a couple hundred feet away! You can sled right out to your tent! We have on-site wedding officiant who offers elopement services year-round, with advanced notice. As well as an option to rent all 4 of our sites (the whole campground!) for a private wedding, retreat, or family adventure! Check out more pics and updates and follow our instagram page @butterhillhideaway and @outdoorsyofficiant_nh! Set up under the stars and enjoy the sounds of the forest!

Peaceful forest retreat nestled among the trees- unplug and unwind at our unique mountaintop getaway! Beautiful views of the stars through the trees… wake to birdsong, wander down the path to the yard for sunrise, and enjoy nothing but the day ahead. Switchback is the closest site to the parking area- but its still about a third of a mile walk through our maple grove to get there. Tucked just inside a 5 acre wooded lot, it sits back among maple trees and young hemlock, neatly placed adjacent to the corner of an historic stone wall. There is a clean and spacious outhouse nearby! Campsite amenities include: -A picnic table, fire pit, camp chairs, and basic cooking supplies- cast iron skillet, tea kettle, grilling utensils, oven mitt, plates, utensils and cups, and a French press! -Adirondack chairs -Two cotton lap blankets -Your queen-sized bed is made with a freshly laundered set of flannel sheets and a light comforter -We also provide garden wagons to help transport your gear : ) Our driveway is a half-mile uphill dirt road that is quite steep in some spots!

Butterhill Hideaway offers a serene camping experience with cozy tents and immaculate outhouses that guests rave about. Lori, the host, is known for her thoughtful touches, like fresh flowers and firewood, ensuring a comfortable stay. The site is praised for its excellent location, providing great views, stargazing opportunities, and proximity to local attractions. While most reviews highlight the peaceful ambiance, one reviewer mentioned a mosquito issue, which slightly hindered their experience.

We stayed 3 nights here, and enjoyed it a lot. Took us about 3 wagon-loads back and forth to get all our stuff to the camp, but once we settled in it was very relaxing. Great tent and platform/porch, and an ample amount of open space on the site to set up hammocks and whatnot. The supplies provided (cooking rack, skewers, tongs, plates, etc) were greatly appreciated! Beautiful views and an attentive host.

Great location and beautifully set up. The walk from parking to any of the sites as very quick, but far enough out that it’s a quiet camping experience

We eloped with Lori on her property at the camps, it was the most beautiful, peaceful day we ever could have wanted. We had a perfect, clear view of the starry night sky, and woke up to the sunrise glowing in our tents window. Lori is a fantastic host, from the fresh flowers to the firewood. The outhouses are also spectacular! We plan to come back to this spot for our anniversaries, it is just so great!

This place is wonderful and so peaceful. The tent is wonderful, super comfortable, and clean. The bedding was soft and warm. And the view was just lovely--especially if you are into star gazing. The yard for each tent is well equipped, well maintained, lots of places to sit and eat. I absolutely loved it. And the bathrooms are immaculate and insanely cute. Look at the pics! There are *plants and books* in there. And Lori the host is lovely too. After ten years of camping in the Whites, I've finally found my spot. Two enthusiastic thumbs up!

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay there. The tent was very clean inside, the bed was pretty comfortable, and the outhouse was really inviting (weird thing to say but true)! There were some dishes and cooking supplies provided, the lantern was a great touch, and the sites were relatively private. I would prefer to have been a bit further from folks, but it totally beats a state park. You can see the other tents, but can't really hear them. The walk from the car to camp wasn't bad at all, and she provides a couple of wagons to load up and bring items to the campsite. There were very little mosquitos up on top of the hill, beautiful sunrises, and Lori is very sweet and will tell you about all the great local spots. Really fantastic general store down the road with great food, too.

We enjoyed our time at the campsite. The tent was fantastic including the fire pit with 4 Adirondack chairs. The icing on the cake were the two outhouses. They were so clean and included a library with live plants. We made great meals over the fire pit and then hit up the terrific watering holes off Rt 113.

I loved camping on Lori's land. All the glamping tents are very private, and you have to walk about 100 yards from the car, so there is no noise at all. The outhouse was super clean and so cool inside. The bed in the tent was very comfortable and had enough room for the dog as well. The land is beautiful with North Conway only a 30 min drive for great food and coffee! I highly recommend this Hip Camp!

Peaceful and gorgeous forest camping! Lori was great at communicating directions, etc. and the campsite felt tucked away with nice touches like picnic table, high counter for cooking, comfy chairs and camp ring. Really nicely done trails and out house on the property too. Great access for any outdoor adventures around Evans Notch!

This was a great campsite! Close to the hikes in White Mountain yet enough away from the crowd. The tent setup and beds are cozy, there are a lot of supplies to use, and as everyone says but worth repeating this is the nicest and cleanest outhouse I've seen. Unfortunately I was only here for a brief stay as I was just passing through, but would love to come back for a longer time.

We highly recommend Lori's Butterhill for an outdoor getaway! It was so nice to be able to take my boys camping without packing and setting up all the gear. Everything was clean, aesthetic, and homey. We rented the propane heater and cracked the tent windows a little for ventilation. It was so cozy overnight! No more freezing cold camping nights. I especially loved the french press so I could enjoy a hot cup of coffee around our morning campfire. Lori couldn't be more friendly. The whole experience went so well that we're already planning to come back! It's worth every penny! Thanks Lori!

Absolutely loved this stay so much! Went for my annual trip up to NH for my birthday, and this was the best one yet by far!! The site was incredible, perfectly secluded but still easy enough to get to with close proximity to the lovely kept bathroom. The bed was super comfy, with extra blankets to cozy up with. We were greeted by the hosts beautiful and super smiley pups in the morning which really just topped it all off for me. 10/10 will absolutely be back!!

We loved our stay on Lori’s property! The pictures really don’t do how beautiful it is justice. The wood chip covered paths were a hit with my toddler who had a blast exploring. What you have likely read in other reviews about the outhouse is true they are superbly clean and well decorated. Lori was so friendly and kind- we loved everything about our stay!

We loved everything about Butterhill and stargazer tent. Lori provides everything you need and nothing you don’t. You get all the benefits of camping in a remote area without all the lugging/packing/planning. The bed was super comfortable, the outhouse was so well done- we loved the whole experience. Thank you for having us!
