Nestled on the shoulder of Mount Cabot (4180'), this land has a stunning vista of the Connecticut River Valley, with Mt. Lafayette to the south and the Green Mountains to the west. Relax by the firepit as the sun blazes across the horizon, and return to our centerpole canvas tents on the hillside or orchard for a spacious night among the stars. You are welcome to wander along old logging roads through our sugarbush, and along trails throughout the remainder of the property (300+ ac. total) where there are numerous springs and creeks, mystical softwoods, expansive grassy fields, and a wild apple orchard. Moose, deer, and bear tracks are common, but animal encounters are not. Arrange a tour and syrup tasting at the Mount Cabot Maple saphouse to learn how we make unrivaled deliciousness from the forest around you. Campsites come equipped with a picnic table, solar lights, cooking grate and cast iron, 5 gallon jug of fresh mountain water, and a generous supply of firewood.The Orchard at Mount Cabot Maple is off of Apple Hill Road, a private road entrance, and includes a large mowed field with a 16' centerpole canvas tent with 3 screen windows and screen door. The tent is clean and dry with a high ceiling, but you'll want to bring your own sleeping mats and bags. A firepit with wood provided and a picnic table near a copse of tall white pines create a perfect setting to relax into the mountain air and take in the view looking up at Mount Cabot and the Pilot range from below. Mowed paths throughout the orchard and down to the creek are a perfect place to explore with your pup, and in the right season you can discover which wild apple tree hosts your favorite flavor fruit. Small trailers can easily pull into the orchard field. A seated latrine-style toilet is located near the edge of the field. We provide 5-gal jugs of water for drinking and dishwashing. You can expect to find a sense of placid seclusion amidst the chatter of early morning birds and critters.

Mixed feelings

· October 2024

Site is great. Tent is spacious. Ground is level. Campfire is awesome- so much firewood for use. Drinking water supplied along with a grate for cooking over the fire. Very convenient! Outhouse was clean and odor free. Even supplied toilet paper which I didn’t expect. Only reason I gave mixed feelings regarding recommendation of site to others is that I feel lucky we were there while the individual who lives full time in the nearby yurt was housesitting elsewhere. I’d have felt a little odd had she been there. You can’t see the yurt from the tent site but you walk past it anytime you’re going to and from the outhouse or to and from your parked car. Further, appears that someone is building a foundation for what looks to be a house just below the tent site. No noise or active construction was happening. And boy we were glad it wasn’t! The woman who lives in the yurt is very kind and helped us out when the outhouse door jammed. She wasn’t sleeping there during our stay but was doing work during the day. Also gave us some info about the sugar bush and land which was nice. I just felt I would’ve worried I was intruding on her had she been staying the night there. But maybe others wouldn’t worry so much. Overall,the view is beautiful and we enjoyed the camp. But I’m not sure if moving forward I could say the same with possibility of construction plus the yurt being occupied.

A One of a Kind Experience

What an absolutely wonderful camp site that feels more magic the longer you're there. The hosts were incredible and friendly, the site was comfortable, quiet, affordable, and absolutely gorgeous. Everything you could need for a proper campsite in the woods all in one spot, the tent was huge and comfortable, the land is so big you can hike all around, there's every mountain water flowing in a creek nearby. I can't rate this spot high enough it was just an absolutely wonderful stay, I hope everyone gets to experience this in their life.

Beautiful piece of land to spend time on!! Awesome view of mountains and gazing at the stars at night was incredible! Morgan was incredibly helpful and made sure we all had the best time possible! Don’t forget to buy some of her syrup on the way out.

Beautiful pocket of nature!

Group trip

Morgan’s land was absolutely beautiful! The view of the mountains was wonderful and the orchard itself was so peaceful. The meadows were full of wildflowers and the grassy areas were perfect for setting up camp. The provided outhouse, firewood and drinking water were so helpful without taking away from a very much rustic camping experience. If you go in the summer bring bug spray as the mosquitoes live there too :) I would highly recommend this stay for anyone looking to camp close to the northern white mountain region! A beautiful space in a lovely area - I would definitely stay again!!
