Tent

We had a lovely stay in the 'Quiet Meadow' spot! The clear nights made for exceptional star gazing under a Bortle 2 sky. A rare and sumptuous treat! Christian was very responsive and he provided us with plenty of good burning wood for a fire. There are lovely places to hike walking distance from the camp site. If you are planning on purifying stream water to use, you should ask Christian about the best place to collect water. A stream does not run right along the site itself. There is occasional traffic passing from a nearby dirt road, but the evenings are very quiet. Overall we had an enjoyable stay!

Quiet meadow!

12 ft rooftop tent

Stayed at the quiet meadow spot and it was a great little getaway for the weekend. Little meadow with plenty of room to park and have your set up. Firewood with fire pit was provided by host and picnic table and trash bin. Great communication with host and helpful people. Will definitely return again.

Perfect Hipcamp !

21 ft campervan · With pets

We were traveling through this area in a Travado and just needed a solid, level, quiet spot to get a good nights rest. This site was perfect. As it is right off a good gravel road so we didn’t need to navigate any obstacles. There is an amazing mountain hiking trail a 2 min walk up the road that my dog and I stretched our legs on after dinner and got a sweet sunset view of the beautiful area. A dairy bar is a 5 min drive away for burgers fries and ice cream. The Host & family were fabulous. We will definitely stay here again!

Perfect spot!

17 ft campervan

Christian's camping spot was absolutely perfect for my husband, dog and I! The location was central to everything we wanted to do in the area, and the actual spot was very spacious and private! So, SO many birds were around us at all times and it felt just so magical! Also, Christian left us a ton of firewood and was extremely responsive and kind. I would recommend this spot to anyone who wants to be central to Ascutney or Woodstock!
