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 to lull you to sleep and early birds (and sometimes a neighborhood rooster) 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.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.

Red Barn

Amazing!

Emily’s spot was absolutely perfect! Great location. Found the spot easy to access, and it was so nice having electric right there. Emily’s communication was top-notch! I couldn’t have asked for a better all around hostess and experience for my first adventure through Hipcamp.

Emily's spot is quiet, level, and near a few trails! Highly recommend!

Red Barn

Small rigs are best and space to turn is limited so have backing skill and not attempt turn in drive. BEAUTIFUL neighborhood. Roads are narrow and that makes some passing and turning tricky depending on route. Woods and big yard so bring bug spray. The space worked perfect for a night to stop and rest and exercise our puppy. Homes are gorgeous and we felt very safe.

Quite and very wooded. Enjoyed the stay. Had 30 amp electric which was nice. Little tight to pull into but doable. Recommend it.

Red Barn

Charming but wasn’t for us

Red Barn is adorable and beautiful, tucked away in beautiful New England. We have a 30’ RV towing a Jeep. The roads in the neighborhood are narrow, which made passing oncoming traffic tricky. The entrance to the property was a bit narrow for our set up, but we managed. However it opens up and is quite spacious. Please note that there are no sewer hookups, as I did not make note of that. We booked our stay for 5 days. After realizing my oversight, I had to find someplace else as we needed to be able to dump. But if you are looking for a short stay, this is the place to go. Emily was kind and helpful with directions leading up to our stay. I definitely would recommend for smaller rv’s/trailers though. Ticks are present, just as Emily warned. My son got a tick on his leg in just the one day we were there. So be aware. All in all, a charming property in a location with not many places to stay.

Lovely quiet site in suburb of Boston. Very well kept property. Parking at back of driveway in front of barn. House within sight but green fields on either side of site.
