Tent site · Sleeps 15Enjoy mountain views across NH and into ME from the shelter of the forest at your site.
Camp with your group of up to 15 at our private Tree Farm / Conservation / Recreation Area. Established in 2004, we are an 87 acre ATFS certified Tree Farm located in the Blue Hills Range in the Foothills to NH’s White Mountains.
(Site 4 Ledgewood) offers guests our best combination of privacy, amenities, shelter, and views. Created for personal use over two decades ago; Ledgewood is our original and most improved upon outdoor space. The site is nestled within a series of moss covered ledge outcroppings at approximately 1000’. A mixed forest provides excellent shelter from both weather elements and the sun. A break in the trees over boulders to the front of the site provides beautiful mountain views across NH into ME and of sunrise.
The site is equipped with well spaced level areas that will easily fit up to 15 people in multiple tents, 2 10X10 ft canopies, a large stone firepit with a built-in grill, firewood rack stocked with 10X bundles for purchase, food prep table, folding table, 2 large picnic tables, dish washing station, 4 hammocks, 6 camping chairs, 6 benches, 28 gallons of potable water, trashcan, solar and string lighting, plus many other decorative and functional touches. A private composting outhouse and a forest basketball court are a short walk out of the site. Connected to the site by a short trail is a natural clearing. Utilize the area for stargazing/sunning, or use the clearing to pitch a tent if you’re looking to sleep under the stars.
At the 2WD shared parking area guests are provided with a outdoor shower with hot and cold water, a portable toilet, garden hose for washing, a power strip for charging devices, and a spigot with potable water for filling containers.
