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 1 Riverside

This was SUCH a beautiful campsite, one of my favourites that I’ve ever been to! The river was so beautiful, the trails and sites were really well maintained, and directions and everything were really clear! Will definitely be coming back!

Site 1 Riverside

River side camping w/ dog!

I loved spending the weekend on Abi’s land! I booked the riverside camp ground and loved how close the water was. The directions to find the campsite were clear and everything was as described. The nearby trails and swimming hole up the road were fun to visit and the campground is located about a 30 min drive from Grafton Notch State Park. I would definitely camp here again with friends!

Site 3 Fireside

The river is beautiful! Its a very nice and quiet place. But expect to make friends at this campsite as the "community firepit" is inside tent site 3, so if people need the fire to cook food, you're gonna get to know them. Would be nice if the community pit was more centralized and not within one of the tent sites. Also lots of people walk right through the campsite to get to river so a suggestion for the owner would be to put up a sign saying that the parking/trail is for campers only. All in all, a very nice place, but if you're trying to avoid people while camping, I might suggest looking elsewhere. Can't beat the location though!

Site 3 Fireside

Very well maintained outdoor space! One thing to note is that there is one fire pit shared for 3 sites but it wasn’t a problem and it was great talking to the other groups. Definitely check out Frenchman’s Hole swimming area as it’s right down the road. Also be mindful of the steep hill up and down to the site. We didn’t have an issue with it but it could be a bit tiring for some people.
