Scars in the polished granite streambed tell the story of saw mills from the 19th century. Not far from the foundation of one of the more established farmsteads of the era, this campsite is tucked away from the road down by the rushing Bull Branch of the Sunday River. Whether you bake on the rocks after dipping, or toss a fly in a quiet pool, the river will soothe your soul. Explore endless mountains streams, trails to the Appalachian Trail, and remote dirt roads in the heart of the Mahoosucs from your secluded walk-in low impact tent site with privy. Deep swimming holes and trout fishing beckon. There are three sites: #1: Riverside (more secluded),#2:Hillside(closest to the parking), and #3: Fireside. The hillside and fireside sites can combine for a group although are at a short distance from each other. If weather conditions permit, all campers can share the fire circle and table. The Riverside has its own table.

Site 3 Fireside

Cool site by the river. It's a shared firepit. Me and 10 others decided to get all three sites and that was fantastic. Made for a super private campsite. Site was well kept. Path was well kept. Hill from car to camp was a little steep but not overwhelming with gear. Would recommend this site ti anyone. Host was great.

Site 1 Riverside

Awesome campsite nestled by the river. Our group got all three sites with 8 tents and had an absolute blast. Nice and private. Waterfalls were incredible. Fell asleep to the sound of the river. Parking area was good for 5 cars. Path to the site was a workout but the host has carts to transport gear. We bought firewood in advance and it was waiting for us upon arrival. Would recommend this site to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway.

Site 1 Riverside

This place is awesome. There was very little traffic on the road. I didn't hear or see a single car. The amenities are clean and well maintained, including the woodshed, privy, and picnic tables. There is a pretty steep hill to get down and into the sites. I brought a 4 wheeled cart and it was excellent but difficult to get back up to the car. I would recommend a bear hang or cannister to avoid walking up and down the hill multiple times for meal time. The privy is separate from all sites, but easily accessible from all sites. This is right next to the river which was excellent white noise. There is a pool that you could take a dip in. It was very quiet. The only wildlife we encountered were some rather active toads. The site itself was roomy with a nice flat area to put the tent.

Site 2 Hillside

Would highly recommend camping here! Site 2 Hillside is perfect for one or two guests. I had no trouble finding the pull off or my campsite thanks to Abi's clear directions. Will definitely book again!

Site 3 Fireside

The proximity to the river with a really nice swimming hole makes this place a true gem.
