Howdy everyone. It was a beautiful night camping at the property. John and his family were excellent hosts. Would absolutely recommend staying here. There was a porta-potty at the site with a fire pit and picnic table; a beautiful spot right on the river. Firewood was available for purchase as well as canoe and kayak rentals. John even provided us a history of the property which was very cool! Thanks for the awesome stay!

Cant Imagine a Better Experience

My husband and I had such an incredible time here! Karin greeted us on the first day and she was extremely kind and knowledgeable, sharing all the best places to explore and anything else we may need to know about our stay. We were very impressed with the site and how the hosts made sure to think of everything we could need. The site felt very private and secluded, with private beach access, and a canoe available onsite. A shed was onsite filled with firewood for purchase, paddles and lifejackets. A camp stove was provided along with a cooking grate for the firepit and a large jug of water. Tent was spacious, bed was comfortable, and the mosquito net was perfect for keeping bugs out so we could fully appreciate our surroundings. An evening storm did pass through late night, but the tent kept everything dry and safe. We loved being able to take the canoe out and explore the islands during the day, and relax on the beach and take in the Perseid meteor shower at night! We were able to see dozens of shooting stars in such a beautiful spot! John messaged us after the second day and graciously offered to let us stay an extra night. We were so thrilled and grateful to be able to stay in this magical place a little longer! John checked in on us and was very helpful and kind. His vast conservation efforts are part of what keeps this place so incredible! We cannot thank John, Karin and the rest of their family enough for creating such a wonderful experience. We cant wait to come back!

The perfect oasis!

What a serene and beautiful spot to spend time in Maine! The owners have obviously put a lot of time and effort into creating a perfect oasis of gorgeous riverside views, trails to explore and well maintained habitat for wildlife. They were also very hospitable and went the extra mile to ensure we enjoyed our stay. We wished we’d had another day or two to spend exploring the property, but we’ll be back! Thank you!

Perfect. Had the pleasure of speaking with John, the host, and learning about the history of the land. We will definitely be returning. Space was quiet and right on the water. Other campers not an issue at all.

Absolutely loved our stay! Beautiful natural land, right on the pond. The hosts were lovely and when our boat died they made a stressful situation so much easier than it would have been otherwise. Already booked our next stay

Stayed for a weekend in August at site #3, a serene location on the Androscoggin River, incredible for star gazing. Welcoming hosts, easy to find campsite. Clean, private portopotty, flat spot to lay tents, and a shaded area near the picnic table. Firepit was on a slight incline but easy enough to move our camp chairs around. Firewood for sale on site. Loved the sandy area along the river, we floated and paddleboarded with our two year old and two pups. A bit mucky near the shore when we stayed, but if you walk out a little further it's nice sand and rocks underneath, we still recommend water shoes. Thankfully mosquitoes and ticks were only a minor inconvenience. Highly recommend!

This was our third year coming to this campsite. It poured the second day, John and family were so gracious and let us stay in the tiny cabin for the storm. It was such a wonderful trip! It’s a family tradition at this point and we can’t wait to come back next season!

Slippery Rock Tiny Cabin

The little house at the top of the hill was so sweet, with the wind blowing through the big old trees that shade it. We took a misty canoe outing at 6am, catching sight of a bald eagle over the river, loons, and exploring myserti

Couldn’t of planned a better trip

Tent ·

My 30th birthday wasn't planned at all. We were flying by the seat of our pants and decided, just one day before, that we needed to find somewhere to camp. To our surprise, our last-minute request was accepted, and it ended up being one of the most memorable birthdays I've ever had. The moment we arrived, we felt right at home. The campground was peaceful, beautiful, and exactly what our little family needed. It was the perfect place to slow down and enjoy time together. On our second night, the weather took a turn for the worse. Our hosts went above and beyond by offering us their cabin for the night since it happened to be available. That act of kindness meant so much to us, and it's something I'll never forget. What started as a spontaneous birthday adventure turned into an unforgettable family camping trip, thanks to the generosity and hospitality of our hosts. We left with wonderful memories and can't wait to come back

Cute Private Beach

What an absolute gem! My second time staying at Slippery Rock, and it for sure won’t be my last! Site 1 is the perfect secluded site under a bit of shade and with the most perfect ideal private little beach down to the river. John and Pat are so sweet and I thank them for everything! The site was so clean and welcoming and even a bundle of wood waiting by the fire!

A treasure!

This was our second time tenting at Slippery Rock Trails. It was again a fabulously peaceful stay with our group of four plus a very happy dog off leash! We spent a wonderful evening around a fire and the birdsongs graced a slow relaxing breakfast. The beautiful river and a friendly loon reminded us that we need to stay longer next time and take advantage of the canoes. How easy not to have to bring them! Lastly, we enjoyed talking with John and Pat who came to say hi and make sure we were all set. Their dream to preserve this land and share it with others is a treasure we hope others will find! We look forward to getting back to Slippery Rock soon!

I loved this spot! I had a lovely quiet serene evening overlooking the Androscoggin. I awoke to the sunrise over the fields behind me. Enjoyed my morning coffee with the birds singing . They also were frolicking in the water. There are trails to walk, kayaks to rent, and the water to wade in. The campsite was pristine clean. I had my own porta let, a picnic table and fire ring. The hosts are great communicators . I could only stay one night this trip , but now that I have discovered what a magical place it is , I will definitely be back!

The Best Spot on Hipcamp

Tent · With pets ·

An absolutely incredible stay! John is an affable, knowledgeable, and kind host. You can tell he and his wife truly care about the land and its history. His dedication to conservation warmed our hearts. The campsite is unforgettable— beautifully cared for with excellent amenities (swimming beach, fire pit, fire wood and port-a-potty). We enjoyed waking up to the sounds of songbirds and the sight of monarch butterflies, as the sun rose over the river. We can’t wait to come back.

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!
