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.

Perched along the rugged coastline of Cape Ann, Halibut State Park offers a truly unique coastal camping experience shaped by granite, sea air, and sweeping ocean views. Once an active quarry, the park has transformed into a striking natural landscape where rocky shores, tide pools, and open skies create an unforgettable setting for outdoor exploration. Spend your days wandering scenic coastal trails, exploring the dramatic granite quarry filled with deep blue water, or watching waves crash against the rocky shoreline. The park’s distinctive terrain—formed by years of quarrying and coastal weather—creates a raw, windswept beauty that feels both peaceful and powerful. Nature lovers will appreciate the diverse plant life and coastal ecosystems, from low-growing shrubs to vibrant seasonal wildflowers. Keep an eye out for seabirds and marine life in the tide pools, or simply settle in and enjoy the calming rhythm of the ocean. As the sun sets, the landscape takes on a whole new character. Golden light reflects off the granite, and the sound of the ocean becomes your evening soundtrack. Clear nights offer excellent stargazing, with the open coastal horizon providing unobstructed views of the sky. While the park itself does not offer traditional campground facilities, nearby campsites and accommodations provide a variety of options—from rustic tent sites to more comfortable setups—making it easy to enjoy the beauty of Halibut Point while having a place to rest nearby. Whether you’re here for coastal hikes, photography, birdwatching, or simply a quiet escape by the sea, Halibut State Park delivers a one-of-a-kind New England outdoor experience.

We enjoyed our stay at Hilltop Tree Farm! The hammock, fire pit, and picnic table were great to have available. The tent itself and the bed were comfortable for our 2 night stay. The location is great, right near hiking trails and a local beach. We got to see a beekeeping demonstration from Blake which was a nice way to end our stay. Blake was friendly and communicative, making sure we had everything we would need.

Eric was a great communicator and had a nice little set up for a tent out behind the house. While my stay was super short notice and didn't have time to use firepit, he had a great set up for having a fire, table/ chairs, and amenities. Motion lights come on down path which was very helpful since I arrived after dark. It's a great place to camp if visiting Salem and want to stay close by!

Straight forward camp site in the corner of Eric's yard, exactly as pictured in the photos on the website. I was able to park and start setting up my tent right away without any issues. Eric was communicative and checked in with me via text message to see if I needed anything from him. Neighborhood was quiet, there is some light traffic driving by on the road so if you are sensitive to noise you might want headphones or earplugs but it didn't bother me. Overall a great alternative to spending money on a hotel room!

3 nights at Quiet rural organic property

My husband, our small dog, our indoor cat and I camped on Julie's property in our truck camper for three nights. We were looking to relax after a very busy time, and happily we were able to do so here. Throughout our stay, Julie maintained a nice balance between being present and available to us and totally allowing us our privacy, which we really appreciated. We used the electricity she provided, which was very helpful, and we didn't need water, which was also offered to guests. Although Julie sells her own organic products, she did not try to sell us anything while we were there. We were encouraged to make full use of her property, which has a very nice back yard with a little table and chairs and two very comfy looking cushioned chairs that I wished we'd had the weather to sit out on. It was windy and rainy for most of this weekend, and we were visiting friends and family elsewhere some of the time. We did spend a very nice first afternoon there having a leisurely lunch at the backyard table. We recommend Julie's property for your stay, and we will most likely return for another weekend in the near future.

First of all....you are greeted by the warmest, genuine soul🫶🏻😊. I'm a lover of bird songs, and it was music to my ears. It was a "peace" of heaven, a place to reset, and enjoy the little things
