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.

Camping here was easy, the property was pretty, the instructions that were left were clear, and Eric was available on very short notice which was a huge help. I stayed on the site closest to the road so some trucks were loud at times, but the description covered that and it was no problem. I would definitely stay here again,

Our Class B fit nicely onto the gravel spot that is located, interestingly, at the bottom of a private cul de sac, with Sanette's house up on a hill. She provided a picnic table, small covered fire pit and adirondack chairs. We had a wonderfully quiet night's sleep in this wooded, residential area, very close to all good things one can find in Eastham. We recommend the hole in one donut, pastries and coffee shop that is down the road for yummy and reasonably priced morning start.
