Additionally, within a half hour drive, you have access to some of the best hiking in the North East. We are happy to provide recommendations!

Through the generous permission of surrounding landowners and the stewardship of the Bethlehem Trails Association, guests can access this trail network to enjoy the views from the summit of Mount Agassiz for top notch single-track mountain biking.
We live one town over and are just a phone call away. If you walk the trails, you may encounter a friendly neighbor's dog but all our guests enjoy the privacy and solitude the mountain provides.

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 :)

The yurt is grid-powered, the stars aren't.
Note: Our wood-fired hot tub takes 48 hours notice for us to make it perfectly hot for you, so please reach out to book it before you arrive!
For an even more immersive nature experience, The Orchard on Apple Hill road is ready for your tent or hammock, along with an outdoor kitchen, two hot showers and compost toilets, picnic tables and firepit, and propane cooking burners. The Orchard's solar kit can charge your equipment and boil a kettle for your hot morning cup.
The Pond on The Hillside is open to guests for swimming or skating at the case may be.
Firewood is included with all sites, so please don't travel with firewood as it's a great way to transport forest-devastating invasive insects.
Hikers are welcome to wander along old logging roads through our sugarbush, and along trails throughout the remainder of the property (300+ ac. total) where there are numerous springs and creeks, mystical softwoods, expansive grassy fields, and a wild apple orchard. Moose, deer, and bear tracks are common, but animal encounters are not - still, please sequester your food accordingly and be mindful to carry out scraps or place them in lidded containers provided.
Reach out to us to reserve a few precious hours in our wood-fired hot tub, rent snowshoes, or schedule a maple tour and tasting at our saphouse. Please visit meadhillatmountcabot.com to design your own celebration on this delicious land.

The SiloSide barn and homestead is better known around town as the "Old Somers Farm" in reference to the day when the barn housed 60 head of cows. The farm was a part of the Cabot Creamery Cooperative, and closed this era in the late 1980s. Prior to being a dairy farm consisting of over 500 acres, the property served as a tavern, inn, tannery, and has always been a traditional, well-loved farmhouse. Our farmhouse was built in 1785, and the barn built around the 1830s and expanded in 1941. The soil here is rich, and the forest full of wildlife. We've named our home "SiloSide" as tribute to the magic we feel on the non-road facing, silo-side of the barn, where you'll be camping.

Our tent and yurt sites are located on 5 acres of private woods and are 4 acres apart to allow for maximum privacy for our guests!
Parking for both sites are shared. The tent is 50 yards up a rustic wooded path through the woods and the yurt is an 800 yard (10 minute) uphill walk from the parking area.
Both sites are adjacent to our local network of hiking/biking trails that connect to the summit of Mount Agassiz, which offers stunning views of Franconia Notch. Additionally, within a half hour drive, you have access to some of the best hiking in the North East. We are happy to provide recommendations! The surrounding towns are home to three different breweries, numerous restaurants serving up delicious food and quaint main streets.
Through the generous permission of surrounding landowners and the stewardship of the Bethlehem Trails Association, guests can access this trail network to enjoy the views from the summit of Mount Agassiz for top notch single-track mountain biking.
We live one town over and are just a phone call away. If you walk the trails, you may encounter a friendly neighbor's dog but all our guests enjoy the privacy and solitude the mountain provides.

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 :)

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.

The SiloSide barn and homestead is better known around town as the "Old Somers Farm" in reference to the day when the barn housed 60 head of cows. The farm was a part of the Cabot Creamery Cooperative, and closed this era in the late 1980s. Prior to being a dairy farm consisting of over 500 acres, the property served as a tavern, inn, tannery, and has always been a traditional, well-loved farmhouse. Our farmhouse was built in 1785, and the barn built around the 1830s and expanded in 1941. The soil here is rich, and the forest full of wildlife. We've named our home "SiloSide" as tribute to the magic we feel on the non-road facing, silo-side of the barn, where you'll be camping.

What an incredible adventure getting to stay in the Magik Cabin! Nick was kind enough to bring our stuff up via snowmobile so we could snowshoe up with our dogs. It was a beautiful, easy walk and well worth it. The cabin is such a cool place with so much to see and great views. We were nervous about being warm but it was -6 degrees at night and we were VERY toasty with the wood stove. The sauna and cold plunge is also a must!

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.

We had such a great time at the yurt and exploring the property with our two dogs! Morgan did a great job of showing us everything we needed to know for our stay. The yurt itself is absolutely beautiful and truly makes you feel like you’re sleeping in nature. The location that they chose to build the yurt provides an amazing view of the mountains right out the front window. We opted to use the wood-fired hot tub while we were there and it was a fantastic experience. Although the wood stove was out of commission during our stay, the space heaters that were provided were more than enough to keep the yurt toasty, even during the cold late November nights. We would gladly come back again!

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!

Weekend Trip to Mead Hill at Mount Cabot Maple
We stayed in the yurt for a weekend and loved it! Bed was comfy and thought the woodstove wasn't working, the space heater kept us cozy. Morgan and Rush were excellent hosts, answered all our questions graciously and made us very welcome. The woodfired hot tub was glorious. Hope we can visit again someday!

Such an absolutely special place! We were so lucky to stay in the library and meet a couple of lovely people from the community. The space was intentional and had everything we needed.

This was a great spot for our family to camp as we explored the Kingdom bike trails. A short drive to Darling Hill, where we could also resupply with fresh water.

We had a wonderful time at Wildwood! Would love to stay here again. The vault toilets are clean and well stocked. Campground was surprisinyly quiet for it being almost full! The Ammonoosuc river is right across the street, beautiful swimming hole. The town of Woodstock has several restraunts. We were 20 minutes from Sugar Hill and drove there for the Lupine bloom!

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.

It's astonishing that over five years after Charlotte C. in her comment offered some expert corrections to this listing, the mistakes are still here on this page. Come on, Hipcamp! That isn't very hip! No fires, no picnic tables here. Over at the USDA Forest Service page for this campsite, you can find accurate information and current pricing. Enjoy.

I have camped here 4 times now and it is always a wonderful experience. Its a bit of a walk to the sites if you have alot of camping gear id recommend the closer sites 1-3. Site 2 is right across from the swimming hole/river which is alot of fun. Overall its one of my favorite spots!

This photo was not taken from Three Pond Shelter, the shelter is at a lower elevation, there is no outhouse or picnic table. A nice walk but not a great place to camp

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

The Franconia Loop becomes very icy in patches in the winter - be sure to bring proper footgear and plan extra time!

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.

Heading north along the A.T in the rain is one of the toughest vertical descents in the Whites.

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.

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.

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.

I was the Caretaker for Garfield Ridge Campsite in 2015 and I will be there this summer (2016), too. There are some things wrong on this site about the campsite that are important for the protection of the Garfield Area. The activities at the site include Camping, Hiking, Wildlife Watching, and swimming 3 miles away.
Fires are NOT allowed and there is no grill- its bring your own cooking system. and there is NO picnic table.
I does cost $8 to stay here. The money is used to buy the bark I use to compost the toilet, and to pay the caretakers for our hard work.
Hope to see you up there a this beautiful spot!
