Beautiful campsite, SO peaceful (listen to the birds, feel the breeze, smell the meadow flowers). Pat met us at the gate and showed us to our site. We rented the canoe and were so glad we took it out on the river, it was gorgeous. Will definitely be back and have already shared this spot with friends!

Huge, gorgeous property run by a kind, welcoming family. Lakefront camping, easy access in/out of property, and they have their own trail network. I checked out the trail that brought you to the duck pond. Great little adventure in the morning before heading out. Will be back!

Camp here!

Slippery Rock has it all—beauty, space, solitude, and river access. It's also very reasonably priced, especially considering the exceptional landscape and amenities. But what makes this my favorite Hipcamp in the region is the hosts' ongoing land restoration project. I love supporting John and Pat's mission to restore, care for, and expand this important stretch of the Androscoggin River basin.

Special Experience

16 ft car ·

Stunning location and really thoughtfully arranged! Very private spot but simple to access. We loved meeting the owner and heading about the history and conservation efforts they have made with the land. Very special experience, hope to return back soon. Wish we could have stayed longer to explore the trails at the campsite. The site was right on the water with canoe to use and very level ground. Perfect for our rooftop tent setup. Highlight was seeing the abundance of birds in the field and fireflies at night!

Amazing stay on a stunning property

Tent · With pets ·

If you are looking for the perfect, tranquil escape to disconnect and immerse yourself in nature, this campsite is it. The campsite sits right on the edge of a gorgeous body of water. It is peaceful, incredibly clean, and ideal for a morning paddle or an afternoon swim. The shaded banks under the trees offer the perfect spot to pull up a couple of camp chairs, read a book and play fetch with the dogs. It is rare to find a place that is as enjoyable for your four-legged companions as it is for you. With open fields to explore, shaded wooded trails, and easy access to the water for a refreshing swim, it is an absolute dreamland for dogs. My dogs had the time of their lives. Whether you want to spend your days hiking the trails, paddling, swimming, or just watching your dogs play, this campground provides opportunities for all of this. Along with this, the owners clearly take great pride in caring for their land and protecting the wildlife that resides there. As a person who also cares about conservation and wildlife, it was wonderful to be on a property where the owners also clearly cared very much. Thank you so much and we will be back!

Such a beautiful piece of land right on the water. We stayed at site 2 and were greeted upon arrival by a lovely couple who gave us all the info we needed. It was our kids (and dogs) first time tent camping and they had such an amazing time. Unexpected surprises were there was a porta potty and a trash can which helped so much. The absolute best part about our trip though, was once it got dark there hundreds of thousands of firefly’s. It looked like a fireworks show. The most beautiful thing I have ever seen.

Best Campsite in Maine!

Tent · With pets ·

This was our third year coming back to this campsite, and we’ve loved every moment of it. The property is incredibly beautiful, peaceful, and quiet, with easy access to the water that makes it the perfect place to relax and unwind. What really makes this place special is how well it’s cared for. John and his family do an amazing job maintaining the property and making sure guests have a great experience. You can tell how much pride and effort they put into it. We’re already looking forward to coming back again next year. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful, scenic camping experience in Maine.

Relaxing weekend on the riverbank

Tent · With pets ·

John has a ton of beautiful and quiet land! Me, a friend and our dogs enjoyed our stay at Tent Site 2 and even though there were other campers at other sites, it was still quiet and private. The site was clean, our firewood was waiting for us and John’s daughter met as at check in and was super friendly and helpful with giving us a layout of the area. We were able to see birds, deer and a field of fireflies at night. We also fished everyday, the nighttime bite was great and we caught a lot of huge crappie, a perch and a smallie. I will definitely plan a return trip in the future!

Amazing stay!

With kids ·

We had a fantastic visit at the Tiny house! It had everything that we needed, and we loved the large trees to provide shade just next to the house, particularly when the afternoon sun shines on the house. There’s a paved drive way right to the house where our young kids loved riding their bikes! Renting the canoe was a special bonus, with a very private area for swimming and relaxations We highly recommend and we would love to visit again.

John’s property was an amazing weekend getaway for my Fiancé and I. He was very quick to respond, and clearly put a lot of hard work into keeping his property well maintained. He spent time to tell us the story of the land which was very interesting. Site one was easy to get too, and felt secluded. I would highly recommend staying at Slippery Rock! John even let us use his camp stove as we had stupidly forgotten the propane hookup for our own. I hope to be back soon.

John’s property was absolutely beautiful! The perfect space for a weekend away, we wish we could have stayed all week! We rented his canoe and spent over an hour on the river, going around the islands, coming across so many birds. If you like birding then this is definitely the place for you. The property is so peaceful, there are other sites but we couldn’t hear anyone, and they are separated by a large amount of trees so we had a lot of privacy.

What a blessing to have stayed here. We loved meeting John and learning about the land. The campsite was perfect for our suv tent. Outhouse was clean and close to site. We loved taking the canoe out and lost count of the amount of fish we caught. We loved listening to the wildlife and watching the loons. We are forever grateful to have stayed here and thank John for his generosity and hospitality and to him and his family for sharing such a beautiful piece of paradise with us. It was a truly magical experience we will not soon forget. Can’t wait to go back!

One of the Most Unique Hipcamp Stay

Tent ·

We stayed at site #3 for a few nights and had such a great experience. The property is absolutely stunning and feels incredibly immersive if you’re looking to truly disconnect and spend time in nature. Everything was very well maintained and thoughtfully cared for. John was also a wonderful host and made the experience feel very personal. He stopped by during our stay to introduce himself and was kind enough to share stories about the land and the area, which made it feel even more special. Would definitely recommend staying here if you’re looking for a unique and peaceful escape.

I had a wonderful stay on John’s property. The site was high above the banks of The Mighty Androscoggin River. We drove across a huge field to get to there, it had a lovely fire pit and a well placed porta potty. There were some great trails and excellent bird watching. What impressed me most was John’s foresight in acquiring the land, parcel by parcel to preserve the open space and natural landscape. It’s very precious I’ll be back.

I had an amazing time, will definitely be coming back. Absolutely beautiful peace of land. The tiny home is well appointed and comfortable. John is an excellent host and took time to explain the history of the land when I arrived, which really added to my appreciation of the place during my time there. Thanks to John and family for stewarding this land and sharing it with others
