21Apr'24 Update: The road in to the sites is drying out and the soft spots are firming up. All the same, if we get a lot of rain this May, please don't drive to Merrimack and book the site 10 minutes before your expected arrival? (I think somebody must have booked it from my driveway) Best to check first with your host to ensure the access road is passable to your type of vehicle. (back to our regularly scheduled camp description...) Camp alongside the tree lined bank of the Souhegan River. Fall to sleep to the sound of river flowing over the rocks up stream. In season, enjoy the swimming hole 100 feet from your campsite. Site-1 is located under the trees adjacent to a 3 acre meadow and Christmas Tree farm. Camp above the bank of the Souhegan River in the shade of white pine and shag bark hickory and listen to the river tumble over the ledges upstream. In season, enjoy the swimming hole 100 feet from your campsite. On the other side of the fence is a pasture where two horses graze. If you don't like friendly dogs then you'll be better off on site 2 where we can better keep our dog Wilson from dropping in to visit. He loves people too much not to want to greet folks on Site 1. Site-2 is located at the downstream end of the property and is completely private. You'll see nothing from your site but trees and the river. If you or your dog don't like dogs, this is the site you want. It's far easier to keep Wilson away from this corner of the property. The other side of the river is town conservation land so the only people you're likely to see will be passing by in canoes or kayaks. In the dry season, this is a great place to start a float trip and you'll likely have the next 1.5 miles all to yourself since the rapids upstream become unpassable in late July and August. Now that TENTRR has gone bankrupt, Site 2 is available year round. If planning a winter trip, just check ahead to ensure your host has finished plowing the access road. If southern NH gets really clobbered with snow, check with your host about the possibility of constructing snow caves.

Site 1- Indian Ledges Overlook

I had a great time here! Loved that the river was really close and that the site felt private. It was very quiet and peaceful. Also really enjoyed talking with the hosts, Bob and Tini, and their dog, Wilson. Thanks for a great weekend getaway!

Site-2 Souhegan Serenity

Perfect Quiet Place

This is a gorgeous place and just the amount of quiet that I was looking for. I only stayed for one night and didn't make a fire but I will be back when I have a long weekend again and will enjoy a campfire under the stars. I really appreciated the quiet solitude and feeling of being in a remote place to camp. The river next to the site was an added bonus since it was quiet enough to hear it! This was exactly what I was looking for and cannot wait to be back for more nights under the stars here!

Site-2 Souhegan Serenity

This is a beautiful spot to spend a weekend! Very private , you have a view of the river , and a cozy spot with a toilet , platform and picnic table. The hosts are also very kind, welcoming, and available if there's anything that needs tending to. I'll definitely be back for a visit this summer :)
