Easy-peasy check in with plenty (we were the only campers) of level space to set up our tent on recently-mowed grassy lawn. Can't comment on outhouse or shower that were not used. Perfect locale for bagging Mts Ellen and Abe on days 1 and 2, respectfully.

Highly recommended!! Everyone there was so friendly especially Frank! The property was beautiful and well cared for. Frank was so helpful and right away started a fire for us while we set up our tents. There is a shower and an outhouse too. He let my kids and their friend feed the fish in his pond and even helped them with their s’mores. He answered any questions we had and even helped when my youngest daughter had an emergency. We will definitely be coming back for another stay!

Great host. Cozy location with great access to nearby attractions
We had a lovely time camping! Frank was incredibly kind, brought my spouse and I a snack plate as we were setting up our tent and allowed us to roam the garden and pick some green beans . He shares the land with two other folks who have tiny homes and they were also very welcoming. It’s a dog friendly space and he was totally cool with us having our dogs roam around. Overall, it was a peaceful spot with beautiful views of a pond (with trout!), pine trees, native wildflowers, and a sweet garden.
Very nice and quiet place. Incredible and very welcoming host. He let us use power and fill our water tank, let us pick up rasberries and gave us veggies. Indications were clear and communication was easy. Well recommanded!

Fresh strawberries from the beautiful garden, a pretty little pond, sounds of a bunch of different birds. We will absolutely be staying here again. Frank was very kind, easy to communicate with, and helpful with figuring out the area.

I booked last minute and arrived to find a great spot and an even better host. Frank is awesome. After finding out we were both early risers, Frank brought me coffee at 5:30am! What host does that?? I was on my way by 6am and didn’t pass an open coffee shop for several hours. Thanks Frank!

Camping at Frank’s felt like stopping by to see an old friend. He was a friendly and gracious host. He even shared some food with us. Frank got us set up for a campfire and left us to relax with a chorus of frogs in the background. Thank you, Frank!
Frank was a great and generous host! Very laid back and was quick to share a fire and a meal and some fantastic pickled veggies. Definitely coming back!

Frank has a great place to camp, has a great shower and electricity. He even has a great dog that is very friendly. He is one of the most accommodating men ive ever met !
It has been my pleasure to meet Frank and to spend a week at his awesome Hip Campground at Meehan Meadows in Bristol, Vermont. I highly recommend that you camp at Frank's Hip Campground.
I highly recommend this Hip
Full disclosure, after arriving at the property we did not stay here. We approached the property and were greated by very concerning signage on the gate. "No Trespassing ", "Be Aware of Dog" and "Are you bulletproof or just stupid". We stopped to see if the person standing in the door of the house would greet us before entering the property. No one did. As we had no cell service to contact the host to make certain we were at the correct location we left. I'm 99.9% certain we were at the correct location but the signage and the fact that someone saw us but didn't greet us was, we believe, a prudent decision. Who welcomes people to camp on their property with signs like that? As residents in a rural community we take threats of protecting property with a firearm seriously. I wish I'd had the presence of mind to take a photo but we were so disturbed that we left quickly. Also, the host emailed me to point out where the driveway was but not to ask why we never checked in. Odd.

Ok stopover. Snagged this site for the electric and water. Arrived in the rain, he was friendly, wanted to keep talking but I was tired and ready to get set up. The power plug was on a pole that looked like it was wired up by a 2 year old and covered by a piece of plastic. I had to argue with him over the water because he didn't want to have to turn on his well pump. Pictures of the place are out dated.... he is adding more cabins to his place... good for him.

Frank's land was perfect for myself and a couple of friends who were biking around Vermont. He was very helpful and friendly and made sure we had everything we needed, and the land was peaceful and scenic. Would love to come back and camp here again!

Spent a nice night at Franks. His property is fairly remote but is serene and interesting. He is exceptionally friendly and very knowledgeable about plants and wildlife in general.

Frank is the most generous host! We came for the solar eclipse and it was a lot of fun. The toilet is not for the faint of heart but it was great experience overall.

I had a great stay at Frank’s. Frank’s friendly and hospitable nature was off putting at first, as where I’m from not many people are as kind and open as he is. It was refreshing to have someone like that around. Though listed as a private area getting to know Frank and talk with him is essential, but the area is fairly secluded from other neighbors in the woods. Frank is a great conversationist with some good stories it was a joy to talk with him. We would have meals together and Frank chipped in to help by preparing and cooking food. In his words “The host with the most” and I agree. On the property there are fire pits and flat areas for tents. Even though the property was surrounded by a marshy area the ground was dry. My tent was mismatched so the rain tarp didn’t fully cover the tent so Frank let us use a portable canopy to help keep the tent dry, it worked very well. Whenever I’m in Vermont again I happily stay there again. (If you are reading the Frank, thank you for a great stay and hope good things head your way)

Franks place is great but the best part is Frank himself! Frank is such a nice, helpful and accommodating person. We feel like we not only had a great experience but also made a new friend. We would definitely camp there again and recommend it to other campers.
Overall, I had a good stay. Frank is a good hearted guy and very accommodating. It comes down to your expectations...if you are looking for the privacy of secluded campsite, this is not your place. However, if you understand what a hostel is like, and you are comfortable interacting with Frank and any other guests who may be there, then you will find it to be a charming experience. I will keep this place in mind for future trips and encourage others to give it a try! The area is amazingly beautiful, and again, Frank is a great host.

Great spot. I made a last-minute reservation, Frank informed me that he had friends staying but he’d find me a spot and I was welcome to join them around the fire. They even graciously shared their food.

Overall we had a good experience. Our only downside was there wasn't a 30 amp hookup for our RV. Frank was very helpful and loaded us up with numerous fruits and vegetables (fresh) from his garden.
Frank and his friends are the friendliest of people. Shared food, drinks, and more with us. Wish we had thought to bring stuff to share back, we just weren't expecting it!
Frank kindly gave us the back of the field to setup our taj mahal of a 9-person tent, we felt like we had quite a bit of privacy. It was a quiet, peaceful sleep, after spending the evening around the campfire with him and his friends, and one other hipcamper. The outhouse and showers were perfect for what we needed and for what outdoor camping usually entails...
Using google maps, it was easy finding the location. We got up early and reached the camel's hump burrows trail head in about 30 minutes.
Gorgeous spot! Frank is so friendly & hospitable! We even had burgers out on his grill in the evening ☺️
The outdoor shower was an awesome bonus. We slept like logs with no light pollution & only the sounds of wildlife!

Great space tucked away in the hills. Frank could not have been more welcoming or accommodating. Me and my dog had a great stay. Not a single complaint.
