2 acres hosted by Eric D.

1 RV site · 1 tent site

Our 2 acre property and home is located in the center of the small town of Leverett. We have a private camping spot located down by the stream, and a van site which can accommodate cars, small RVs, and vans as well as tent camping. We are near a paved road with moderate traffic. The stream site is secluded, the van site is near the road and house. The property abuts many acres of woods and there are a number of great walking trails nearby. A half-mile walk behind the house takes you through the forest to an outlook on Leverett Pond. The Peace Pagoda is just a few miles up the road. Other nearby destinations include Cushman Market and Cafe, the Montague Bookmill, and Mt. Toby waterfall, caves, and lookout tower. Leverett Pond has a public boat launch nearby. We have canoes, paddles, and lifejackets available for rent--inquire for details! The area has excellent bike riding as well. We enjoy all these activities and are happy to share further destinations, routes, and suggestions!

Camp by the Stream

Was a beautiful spot to camp at and there were plenty of great trees for hammock camping. Would definitely camp here again!

Great spot! I’d definitely stop here again. Plenty of privacy, space, and a nice spot for easy car camping. Picnic table and firepit were a nice touch.

Camp by the Stream

I really enjoyed my evening at Camp by the Stream. The site was easy to get to, well maintained, and provided dried wood for fires which was nice. A small foot bridge kinda separates the site from the house and parking area giving the site more privacy. It’s very quiet at night and bugs really weren’t an issue for me. I would definitely return.

Camp by the Stream

We stayed here to camp out after a concert at Tree House and it was the perfect location to get in and out of the venue. No traffic to or from this direction! The land itself was nice, just a little buggy, but citronella candles were provided on site if needed. We were there just to sleep for the night so we didn't need them. Pretty quiet except for the occasional car driving by. All in all, a great location with great access to local areas. My only suggestion to people staying here is to plan ahead and download offline maps if planning to use your phone for navigation. Service is extremely spotty and we would have gotten lost if we hadn't downloaded the maps.

Camp by the Stream

Exactly as advertised and easy to find. The site is close to the house and the parking spot. Despite being close to the house it felt private. No stream water due to the early summer drought. Can get drinking water from the house. Eric is a welcoming host.

No privacy, no views. Park. Sleep.

Van Site

I had planned a last minute fishing trip so options to camp were limited and I had no familiarity with the area. I have a well-equipped 4Runner with a RTT and have no issues roughing it for a few days if no amenities exist. The homeowner was very nice and welcoming upon my arrival, but their dog was a bit confused as to who the stranger was camped 100 ft from his house for two nights. The site was flat but postage stamp small and flanked by wood line, poison ivy, the house and by what looked like a leech field berm. There is no privacy from their house, the neighbors across the street or the road so I felt like I was on display and overly conscientious about being so close to their home. I have no issues carrying on conversations with complete strangers but I felt like I was invading their privacy, which is also why I did not use the fire pit that was right out their back door. Now if I was tucked in the wood line a bit, different story. I later found out their is first come first serve camping on the Connecticut River and Barton Cove does accommodate vehicles with RTTs so next time I visit (including Tree House Brewing) I will opt for that.
