Our driveway is located about 3 miles from the start of the Boston Marathon, 8 minutes from 495, but, down a country road. We find our property to be quite peaceful. We do have crickets and frogs to lull you to sleep and early birds to greet you in the morning.  Keep an eye out for turtles! We are a few hundred yards from either Upton State Forest or Lake Whitehall. Lake Whitehall is popular with boaters (speed limit enforced) and is stocked with fish. No swimming. There is a public boat ramp on the other side of the lake. We often put in our kayaks at the entrance close to our house. We hike, mountain bike and picnic in these parks. It's really beautiful.  There is a 24-hour grocery store 2 miles down the road.  The gravel campsite is located at the barn end of our driveway in front of the red barn. There is a little privacy from the house, but, we may need to get into the barn from time to time. We have a 30amp and water hookup at the barn. If planning on using electric please add one "electric hookup" extra to each night of your stay BEFORE finishing the request to book, it's really difficult to add it after. Please plan to bring 50' of hose and/or 25ft of electrical cord if using hookups. There is wifi, BUT, it's pretty weak at the barn. Definitely not strong enough for streaming! Our Ibex camper may or may not be parked next to the barn depending on if we are out camping!  We do not accept car campers. Turtle Path also has a Guest Suite. Find us on that other website! Shortly after we moved in we discovered a large snapping turtle on his way from Lake Whitehall to the creek at the back of our property. Our neighbor told us that's the turtle's usual route. Turtle won our hearts that day.

A magical place yet so close to Boston.Learn more about this land:This winter we are offering up our cottage with an additional winterized tent for studio or additional guests.  You need to walk about 100 yards down a gravel path to get to our secluded home.

It is heated in the cool temps and fan cooled in the warmer days.  There is a canoe and paddleboard available to borrow. The main house is attached by decks, the bathroom is shared with the main house and there is a kitchen for you to use. The 40 acre pond is 65 feet deep.

The birds are amazing.  Henry David Thoreau wrote about White Pond in his book, Walden as the "emerald eyes of the world."  This is a place that magic happens.

This is a project of my brother and I, to create a healing center / space for people to come connect with the land. ***We are not part of the winery adjacent to our property*** We keep the land as wild, minimum maintenance/ human disturbance as possible. We have just built a deck to put a yurt on site for healing sessions. I am a cranial sacral therapist and did my yoga teacher training in India, taught in India, Australia, Hawaii, now RI! If you are interested in sessions please reach out to me. I host women's gatherings here on the land as well as seasonal celebrations (solstice and equinox). Creating common unity. tribe.visionaryfund.com/leydensregeneration All money through hipcamp and visionary fund goes directly towards the land...

We ended up getting stuck up north this winter and needed a place to stay in the RV. This ended up being a great safe spot to do so and on the good winter days we were able to visit the nearby beaches, especially Horseneck which is our favorite. We always felt safe and had enough privacy to be on our own. We were able to hook up our 30 amp plug to the side of the garage. Winter 2026 was a rough one which saw two major snowstorms. Our vehicle always felt well protected. Our host Tristan was always available when we needed to reach out via the Hipcamp app. I can only imagine how nice this must be during the warm months. If you do stay, you’ll be able to visit many different beaches on a regular basis as there are so many close to the spot. Tiverton is safe, clean and nice. Highly recommend.

I absolutely loved this country setting and historic 1800’s cottage. It’s basically a whole house to yourself. You will want for nothing. Just bring yourself, clothes & food. There are pots, pans, dishes, utensils and everything you need for a relaxing stay. I sat in the kitchen most of the time, to watch the beautiful horse right outside the sliding glass door. Moonfield I believe his name is. I walked around the property and took in all the charm of this place. It’s decorated appropriately and suits this cottage perfectly. The queen bed was the most comfortable sleep Ive had in a long time. Joan responded to any questions I had with lighting speed. This was the perfect getaway and I can’t wait to book again in the future.

1 night at Birch And Pine

Beautiful, and peaceful. There is a lovely driveway to down to the property, guaranteeing privacy from the road. The site itself was pretty large, and flat! Exactly what we needed for a peaceful night's sleep. Host checked in on us to make sure we had everything. Deff will book again! Our van is lifted so we may try the more remote site ☺️

1 night at Leyden’s Land Sanctuary

Victoria has created a wonderful space. It is private and lovely, and I enjoyed staying there with my dogs with no other people around. Victoria gave great directions, and met me to give instructions yet didn't interfere with privacy, which is what I consider important in a hipcamp site. It was my first time there, but I would definitely go back.

Borderland State Park camping guide

Overview

About

A Borderland State Park camping expedition offers an enriching experience, blending history with the serenity of nature. This park, straddling the towns of Sharon and Easton, has a rich backstory, rooted in the lives of Oakes Ames, a Harvard botanist, and his wife Blanche Ames Ames, an artist and feminist. Their legacy, a magnificent mansion constructed in 1910, stands as a testament to their love for art and nature. Today, campers can marvel at Blanche Ames' artwork that graces the mansion's walls, giving a glimpse into a bygone era. Camping near Borderland State Park is not just about history; it's an invitation to explore over 20 miles of wooded trails. Whether you're a hiker, mountain biker, or horseback rider, the park's diverse trails promise adventure. Notably, parts of these trails form the Bay Circuit Trail and the Quarry Loop, leading to the historic Moyles Quarry. For those who prefer water activities, the park's ponds are perfect for fishing and canoeing. And when winter blankets the area, it transforms into a wonderland for ice skating and sledding enthusiasts. But the allure of Borderland doesn't end with outdoor activities. The park regularly hosts mansion tours, allowing visitors to step back in time. While the mansion remains closed for most of the year, special events occasionally open its doors to the public. In conclusion, a Borderland State Park camping experience offers a unique blend of history, art, and outdoor activities, making it a must-visit for every camper looking to create lasting memories.
