1 night at Mountain View Gardens & Apiary

The yurt was super cozy and had everything you needed! Angela was a fantastic host who went above and beyond to make me feel at home. The location was perfect for exploring the region as it was so close to many wonderful trails and sites. I would definitely stay again!

Weekend Trip to Colby's Cabin

Cabin was absolutely cozy and it’s nice to go back when times are simple. A simple walk in nature with a child experiencing and teaching things that we learned as children was so meaningful for all of us and we anticipate returning for a longer stay. Aranka by far is the best hostess I have encountered. The farm fresh eggs were delicous. Can’t wait to return.

Weekend Trip to Harmony Mountain Farm

This was our second time here and will definitely keep coming back. It’s very private and Cindy is so welcoming and an amazing host. Our favorite part was waking up to the sunrise over the mountains on the porch outside with a cup of coffee. So relaxing and exactly the break we needed from our daily life.

2 nights at Sacred Nectar Sanctuary

I can’t say enough good things about this campsite. The setting is absolutely beautiful—rustic, peaceful, and surrounded by nature in a way that makes you feel truly immersed in the wilderness. I came for the solitude of winter camping, and it was perfect, but I’d return in any season without hesitation. What really sets this place apart, though, is the host, Nick. He’s hands down the best host I’ve ever had—thoughtful, incredibly helpful, and deeply knowledgeable. But more than that, he’s an artist and a steward of the land, and his farm is a true sanctuary. You can tell he cares deeply about the environment and about creating a meaningful experience for his guests. If you’re looking for a place that offers both seclusion and soul, this is it. Highly recommend!

I camped in the ambulance on a ski road trip and it was fantastic!

4 nights at Harmony Mountain Farm

This place is the bees knees! I surprised my wife for her birthday to a week at the cabin and were both blown away! Both Cindy and Bill were fantastic hosts, the property is gorgeous and the fresh produce was quite the added bonus. We plan to return as much as possible

Weekend Trip to Colby's Cabin

The cabin was great!!!! We were very cozy, the wood stove worked like a charm. Everything we needed was there, was a lovely long weekend.

Weekend Trip to Sacred Nectar Sanctuary

Another awesome stay at Sacred Nectar Sanctuary! We explored snowy trails, experienced the sauna and cold plunge, had a fire at our site at night and was plowed out in the morning by Nick after some snowfall overnight. It’s always so beautiful and peaceful here.

Weekend Trip to Secluded Camp Convenient Location

Nice and secluded off of a dirt road and easy to get to, was a great place to try out my hot tent again. Very spacious.

2 nights at Colby's Cabin

Lovely cabin! The log walls lend so much charm. The Jotul wood stove is easy to work with and burns very efficiently. We loved the motion-activated lighting that made it easy to move around (with few windows, the interior of the cabin is quite dark). Several solar- and battery-powered lamps located throughout create very nice ambiance, but if you need lots of light for focused tasks (like reading, assembling puzzles, and knitting) you might want to bring extra lanterns and headlamps. During our 2-night stay, some of the lamps burned out and we were glad to have headlamps to fill in. There's not a lot of room to roam around outside the cabin (we went for a walk in the woods but encountered No Trespassing signs before we'd wandered too far) but if you're ready to drive to activities, or to cozy inside for quiet cabin time as we did, this is a fantastic retreat.

2 nights at Colby's Cabin

Super relaxing, the cabin had charm to it. If you need an escape from the noise of modern-day life but don't want to rough it this is it. The cabin stayed very warm on cold winter nights getting close to single digits. We plan on visiting again. Aranka was an incredible host!

1 night at Stagecoach Falls

Amazing place Kevin was very helpful. We would be back again.

2 nights at Carter's XC Ski Center

Camp Fern was the perfect getaway. Anne fired up the woodstove & I arrived to a warm & cozy cottage. My favorite spot was watching the sun set from the upstairs. I enjoyed the quiet and beauty of nature. Fantastic communication from Anne. I look forward to returning some day.

2 nights at Secluded Camp Convenient Location

Very nice and private spot. Ryan was very nice to let me know how much snow to expect.

Weekend Trip to Stagecoach Falls

What a great spot! We decided to give winter camping in our fifth wheel a try and had read about Stagecoach Falls on IG. Kevin was up-front about having the water shut off because of the cold and not plowing the road in the winter and called us a couple of days in advance to let us know that there were about three inches of snow on the ground. We decided to give it a shot anyway and, unfortunately, it didn’t go as seamlessly as we had hoped. Because of the snow, the road was difficult to find. Once we found the entrance, we almost immediately got our rig stuck off the side of the dirt road. Kevin was super helpful in finding us someone to come and plow (and also offered to work out a refund if we decided to pull the plug) and we used Good Sam to get help in winching us back onto the road. Now that we’re here and settled in, we’re glad we didn’t head back home. It’s an absolutely beautiful, private spot right next to the river (we are on site 1). There is almost no light pollution, so if you’re into stargazing, you’ll love it here. It’s far enough off of the road that we’re letting our dog off leash since the other two spots are unoccupied, and he’s currently living his best life. Thanks, Kevin. We’re looking forward to returning here in the future.

This is a separate cabin down the road that they also have available.

Weekend Trip to Carter's XC Ski Center

Everything about Stonewall Cabin was just what we hoped and expected. The interior was impressively clean when we arrived. The setting (in the woods, right on the trail network) was pretty and convenient for XC skiing. Highway noise (from quite a few miles away) is audible from outside the cabin, but otherwise, the setting feels very secluded and natural. There was plenty of firewood and water in the provided jugs, and the gas lamps provided good light for reading and cooking (we brought our headlamps, but only used them for nighttime trips to the outhouse). Great stock of board games, too!

Weekend Trip to Secluded Camp Convenient Location

Great location and private spot. Top notch stone fire ring.

Weekend Trip to Stagecoach Falls

Privacy, peaceful, quiet and relaxing. Just what a busy couple needed at this time. Thank you Kevin.

Weekend Trip to Stagecoach Falls

Nice little spot to pit a camper or tent. I backed my truck bed camper right up to it and it was great. A little close to the traffic but wasn’t the worst.

Weekend Trip to Mountain View Gardens & Apiary

We had a great stay in the yurt, very cute and cozy! The wood-burning stove kept us very warm and it was great to have kindling and logs available to us. Everything we could’ve needed really was there for us. We would definitely stay again sometime!

Sacred Nectar Sanctuary

11 sites · RVs, Tents290 acres · North Sandwich, NH

It's simply the best camping you can get in the White Mountains. Sacred Nectar rests on the land of the Wabanaki Tribes. This land, now known by it's view gifting fields, is one of Sandwich's most treasured gems. The Historic Farm was purchased by Townsend Thorndike from the first colonizing family to claim ownership of this unceded land, the McCrillis family. It was Town's place to get away from the busy life. As time went on and his money dwindled and plans to sell off some of the land arose. Townsend's son, Nick, foresaw a devastating development of conventional homes that would diminish the soul of this sacred land that held so much magic. So, Nick decided to move back to the homestead to create an example of what a healthy life for the land and its inhabitants looks like. HipCamp was the first step towards sharing and opening up the land to create an ecofriendly, Intentional lifestyle. One in which we hope to share our way of being that brings awareness to the natural world we have fallen so far from. Nick and his tribe of like minds are creating a holistic, educational, retreat, workshop, and event center where people can come to learn how to co-exist in a harmonious relationship with nature and each other. Thank you for being a part of the healing. We hope you enjoy what we have created here :)
