18mi from White Mountain National Forest · 15 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
Simply the best tenting you can find in the White Mountains. The campground to get away from campgrounds, where magic touches every corner.
Sacred Nectar rests on the land of the Wabanaki Tribes. This land, now known by it's view gifting fields, is one of Sandwich's top treasured gems. The Historic Farm was purchased by Townsend Thorndike from the first colonizing family to claim ownership of this unceded land, the McCrillis family. It was Town's place to get away from the busy life. As time went on and his money dwindled and plans to sell off some of the land arose.
Townsend's son, Nick, foresaw a devastating development of conventional homes that would diminish the soul of this sacred land that held so much magic. So, Nick decided to move back to the homestead to create an example of what a healthy life for the land and its inhabitants looks like. HipCamp was the first step towards sharing and opening up the land to create an Intentional lifestyle. One in which we hope to share our way of being that brings awareness to the natural world we have fallen so far from. Nick and his tribe of like minds are creating a holistic, educational, retreat, workshop, and event center where people can come to learn how to co-exist in a harmonious relationship with nature and each other. Thank you for being a part of the healing. We hope you enjoy what we have created here :)

2 Local waterfalls only 2 miles away. Drive back out to 5 Kezars road. Take a right on the paved road. It will turn back into dirt. Keep on this road until you see a beautiful stone house on your left. Keep going just up the hill and you will see a right turn into the woods where you can park. There are no signs for Kezar gorge. Hike towards the sound of the falls. There is a small cave under the falls you can climb up into if you are a strong swimmer. There is a second set of falls if you hike down the river. A most magical spot for sure.

Weekend Trip to Vermont Rustic Retreat
The Rustic Cabin Retreat delivers on it's promises - its as rustic as you could want while bringing all the conveniences of everything you could need for a comfortable, multi-day stay (with the luxurious inclusion of electricity?!) I would boldly say if you need more than RCR offers you should probably be looking on Airbnb. I pre-cooked my dinners (two) and re-heated them in the provided cast iron pans, atop the spectacular Jotul wood burning stove (alt available high quality propane camp stove.) I scratch-cooked breakfasts also on the Jotul. The "natural" routine was great; stoke the fire, warm the cabin, eat, clean-up... in the morning followed by the days activities. In the evening - followed by the R&R I went seeking. There is a town with local nightlife, but I didn't go. Instead, I opted to hike the nearby CRT trails which were outstanding; all well marked and maintained with beautiful views. I didn't see much wildlife, but I suspect most wildlife was instinctively hunkering down for some snow that came Sat pm. That said - the squirrel chatter was priceless (seems I was intruding!?) I can't say enough and plan to return. My goal was a real personal "retreat," to clarify some objectives and priorities for myself in the new year, free of all distractions. RCR delivered in every way. If all that weren't enough - I would need another 1,500 characters to adequately describe the hospitality of RCR's hosts. This was my 1st Hipcamp experience; in my view RCR sets the bar high.

We are a family of four including two teenagers. We had a great time! It was just enough space to feel like we were having an adventure while having real quality time, huddled around the wood stove playing games.
We also found a nearby walk at Kettle Pond, which was the perfect happy, medium for the cold temperatures and beautiful surrounding landscapes.
The hosts were very communicative and gave us a lot of privacy. Amazing!

Nick is so great! We stayed on 12/20 at the Magick Cabin Adventure. It was so fun and cozy and a perfect weekend getaway. When we got there he offered to dive our stuff up on his snow mobile since it had snowed. Told us the story of what inspired him to build the Magick Cabin and it was so fun! I love how interactive the experience was. And Nicks ability to use every inch of space in that cabin was incredible. You can tell he put his all into it and all the tiny details. Was incredible to see. The best part was Chaga, his dog, he stayed up at the cabin all night making it feel super safe. He is very friendly and our 3 dogs loved him.

We had a wonderful time at the Magick Cabin! We booked the cabin for a weekend get away with the dogs, but never expected to have an “escape room” experience with the puzzles and clues Nick designed into the cabin. Needless to say, we had a lot of fun staying in the cabin and trying to solve the puzzles Nick thoughtfully integrated throughout the cabin!
We stayed on a cold night, but between sleeping bags and keeping the fire going, the cabin was warm throughout the night. Overall, we found the cabin to be cozy and inviting. There were sitting areas with beautiful view not to far from the cabin and the out house is a short walk. Chago checking up on us throughout the night was extremely precious and cemented the stay as a great experience.

Kathleen and John’s cabin is a treasure. It’s exactly as cozy and beautiful as the pictures suggest, and well stocked with the essentials for a comfortable stay. I spent 4 days in December there during consistent snow fall and high winds and never suffered for it. There was ample wood for the stove and fresh water. It was an ideal setting for my trip.
And beyond all that, the hosts were extremely thoughtful and caring, even going so far to help me unstuck my car from the unforgiving vermont snowscape.
I can’t recommend it enough. 10/10

The view is beautiful! We were lucky to have arrived after a few inches of snow had fallen and it stayed on the trees the whole time we were there-it was absolutely gorgeous! We saw deer cross the road, heard owls and coyotes. Trails at the end of the road. As it states the cabin is small but Kathleen made excellent use of the space and 2 adults in there was just fine. Very cozy, more than enough wood to keep the woodstove going and have campfires. Everything you need is already provided. Was cloudy when we were there but on a clear night it would be a fantastic place to stargaze. Kathleen was a wonderful hostess. Very accommodating, very responsive and just a sweetheart all around.

It was a good blend of having convenience, glamping, beauty, and quaintness.
While the upstairs bed is comfortable, it does sit on the loft wood itself. One word of caution and to be prepared, the ladder that goes up to the loft is narrow and quite steep. There's also a bed on the main level, which I actually found more convenient for those of us who have to pee in the middle of the night. 😊
Overall it was a comfortable and enjoyable stay. I would recommend it for anyone that wants a down to earth glamping experience.

Ok, so if you are here, you are interested in backpacking in the WMNF. Hurrah, that is one of best uses of your time imaginable. Now, go and buy the AMC WMNF Guide, and visit sectionhiker.com. Way better, more accurate info than here, plus great suggested trips and hikes. I have camped here, and for example, there is room for several tents, there is no picnic table, the roof leaks on the right side of shelter, and yeah, good luck getting your horse here.

The trail up is steady, good footing, not many rocks and several stream crossings. The view from the cabin of Mt Washington was nice but from the summit was disappointing. The spring was a little more than a trickle but the area was set back from the cabin and clean. The cabin had been cleaned by a ranger the night before we arrived. The inside was a little dark but pleasant. It's May so the flies are out and there are no outside fires allowed so be prepared with spray. We stayed one night and everyone enjoyed themselves.

Nice campground! Very close to many scenic waterfalls and gorge's and hiking(download the alltrails app for places to go)! It is equipped with a campfire and grill (over the fire) and a large picknick table! Sites are very good size, plenty of space for about 8 people or so. I was on site #12. It was quite buggy when we got there but it toned down with the fire and citronella burning. No cell service at all so my sister and I just went down the road to the Dunkin donuts each morning to check on things. There are bathrooms and a water pump but no showers (you can drive down the Kancamungus 6 miles or so to the jigger Johnson campground for a shower, coin operated, $2.50 for a 7 min hot shower) or bathe in the clear stream right behindthesite

Passaconaway is a great place to camp along the Kancamagus Highway. We opted to stay here over Jigger Johnson as it was less populated and quieter. There were lots of available sites in mid-September. There are no showers but we showered at the nearby Jigger Johnson campground. Great access to a few hiking trails by foot. If you are traveling through Conway, stop at the Sweet Maple Cafe for breakfast or lunch.

Sugarloaf II was a great find. Located just off highway 302. It is a quiet campground with some sites overlooking the Zealand River. We camped here in mid-September and nearly had the entire campground to ourselves. Sugarloaf II offers a true escape into nature. It is also located near the Zealand Trailhead (by car). The beginning of the Zealand Trail is a bit technical with lots of boulders making it not the best trail for dogs. For people, the trail is easy-moderate.

Great spot for a big group that want to hang out all night around the bonfire! Easy access to a lot of great sites. If you are looking for quiet & seclusion, this is not the camp site for you.

Great view of Kinsman Pond right at the shelter! Nearby tent platforms fill up quick, so get there early!

This shelter is no longer there. Removed due to disrepair. Consult AMC website. There is a proposal to eventually replace it with a tentsite

Love this place so much, continues to be my favorite campground. More private than some of the state campgrounds and is away from roads and traffic. Beautiful pond for swimming, fishing, boating, or just lounging in. Feels secluded and quiet and the hosts are always great.

Wood is provided to keep the big wood stove going, make sure to boil water to keep the air from getting too dry in the winter months.

Some sites are reservation only, and must be reserved well in advance.

Small and secluded, crocker pond is the perfect spot to escape the crowds and enjoy yourself. This campground is located down a series of forestry roads and is a bit difficult to find, but is well worth it. Sites are large and beautiful and even with all sites full it felt remote. The weekend we stayed there was beautiful. Watching the sunset over Crocker Pond and then making coffee and huddling close around the fire in the chilly nights. Couldn't ask for a more perfect spot. I'll definitely be back!

Hancock Campground is my go-to camp spot in the white mountains in the spring and fall. This is one of the few White Mountain campgrounds that is open year round so It is perfect for early spring or late fall when most of the other sites are closed. There are two wings to the campground: one side for tents (common car parking lot) and one for car/van camping. This gives the campground more privacy and with the Pemigewasset river running right along the back, its easy to forget that there is anyone else around.

Gorgeous tent site - has platforms, fire rings, and vault toilets. No running water or bear boxes/cable - be sure to bring your rope to hang food. We saw no bears but there were some very bold chipmunks. The pond has a stream flowing out of it so plenty of water to treat or filter. Great if you are just starting out like we are! Hike in is a little rocky in places, we did it in the late summer, I imagine it would get pretty muddy in the spring!

Tried to camp here the last weekend in August but all sites were full (went to Sawyer Pond instead which is a longer walk) Had nice sites, platforms, and was about a 5 minute walk from the lot near the bridge - plenty of parking and not too far to make multiple trips to the car for firewood, etc. Good for kids or the first night of a longer trip.
