Off-leash friendly

Pets can be off-leash at this Hipcamp.

The property is open to choose your own adventure. Explore the woods and choose a site, or pick one of the established fire rings. I can help you find a spot that suits you or you can start from scratch! This site is best suited for people who want to hike in a few minutes and get away from it all. There are many trails, streams, ponds, and cliffs to explore nearby. With all the natural features here, It feels a lot like a state/national park , but without the crowds. All in a classic New England hilltown.There is a fire pit and compost toilet nearby. Easy vehicle access and plenty of parking. Enjoy miles of trails for hiking, biking, XC skiing, hunting, snowmobiling, UTV. Listen at night to the streams and owls and enjoy the dark night sky. Have breakfast over your fire or in "town" at the wonderful general store.

We absolutely loved tenting at Matthew’s land. He was very helpful with giving the directions to his address as well as to the renting spot. The location is very good peaceful and safe.

Worth it

Tent

This site was totally private with just a short walk into woods from parking. The sounds and smells of the forest was mesmerizing!! Didn't want to leave, will definitely be back!

Perfect Private Getaway

Tent · With pets

We love the privacy of this site. It’s really hard to find somewhere that welcomes off leash dogs. Our dogs are trained to stick around but still love a large space to explore without worrying about getting tangled in tether lines. We love being the only people on site and enjoying the quietness of nature!

It was so much fun camping here, our kids had a blast! There was so much to explore and we loved seeing all the little salamanders.

Nice for a homeless encampment

Tent

Unfortunately the campsite looked nothing like the photos. The nice cozy tent platform, benches, and clean fire pit other campers shared photos of were nonexistent. Matthew reached out before the trip and seemed nice and helpful. He mentioned that a previous camper left a tent behind but we shouldn't have a problem finding a spot. When we arrived, his friend directed us to the "trail" to an alternate campsite (100+ yards from parking). When we got there, it was completely overgrown with weeds and ferns. Literally no bare ground. There was an enormous 8+ person tent that looked like someone was squatting there. It was full of dirty old blankets, trash, propane bottles, and - not even making this part up - a LITTER BOX complete with cat litter, a pet carrier, and dirty pet food dishes. My friend, who I dragged 3.5 hours to go camping here, was mortified. There was no way we were going to set up a tent in the weeds next to a dirty encampment. We wandered in the dark looking for other spots and there was junk everywhere - old furniture, propane bottles, rotting tents... we couldn't find a single decent flat piece of ground and ended up tenting in the parking lot next to our car. It looks like once upon a time this might have been nice, but not any more. PLEASE Matthew clean this place up and make it nice again, as it stands you are seriously misleading people by booking sites on here. I can't imagine showing up here with my family.

Nice, quiet little spot to stake a tent and have a fire. Matt is really helpful, considerate, and has a nice little spot to relax and enjoy being out in Nature.
