Amazing views
Hipcampers say this spot has amazing views.
The property used to be part of the old Johanson farm, it was a 200 acre dairy farm a hundred years ago. when the State put in the highway (I-93) in 1961 it split the farmland in half. So now there are a hundred acres on each side of the Highway. The old stagecoach road which runs through the property from Canterbury Station to Northfield Station is now part of the main trails system. The early Pony Express riders dubbed the swamp on the land "Wolf Swamp", because there were many reports of riders seeing Wolves in the Swamp. The property is very open, although the sites are very spread out and secluded for ultimate privacy. There are several great hiking trails on the property, also used by local mountain bikers and Horseback Riding. Occasionally there will be an ATV or Dirt Bike passing through. We are located in the Heart of the local Trail system. There are several great places to swim and Kayak or Canoe literally around the corner. There are also lots of great local attractions close by, many that have Farm Stores, Shops, Homemade Gifts, Breads, Pies, Cheeses and we even have a few local Breweries. There is something for everyone, just ask and we will point you in the Right Direction.

Site 5 The Otter Watch Pond
I stayed at otter pond in my teardrop camper. Pros would be the privacy along with natures nightly concert and lightning bug show. Cons could be bugs ( bring repellent ), a tight turning radius and current clay sand base due to repair from a wash out. The site will be reseeded in the future. I could hear the highway and near by campers with kids. Elle is an attentive host that will go above and beyond to make your stay a happy experience.

Site 1 The Landing
Everything at the wolf's swamp was a breeze, and the owners of the property are amazing. Very humble and kind, even upgraded our site to a more private site due to highway noise from bike week. Sites are spread out enough if doesnt feel like you are right on top of another group. There are different style sites for every kind of camper! Would definitely stay again, 10/10.

Site 6 Yogis place
Hosts are very friendly. Port-a-pottys where clean and kept that way for our entire stay. plenty of space between the sites. Fire wood was there when we got there as well as well as a water jug. Definitely planing on camping there again and trying some of the other sites they have.

Site 5 The Otter Watch Pond
We stayed at the Otter Pond. The owners had been working to drain off a large bit of flooded forest, and the site is a tad washed out due to that. FWD sedan got through the dirt roads just fine. Plenty of space to setup a 10 person tent. Pond is very lively, exactly as described with frogs, toads, crickets, turtles, and birds. Heavy gnats, but likely just due to the recent rain. Hosts are extremely welcoming, gives heavy southern hospitality vibes. Land is beautiful, great views from the top. Host delivered firewood, only paid for what I used. Host provided full water jugs on request. Can hear 93 from the sites, but far enough off to not be a bother. Exceptionally clean sites, well kept. Phenomenally friendly hosts!

Site 5 The Otter Watch Pond
5/5 - Highly recommended
The campground was excellent. Peaceful, spacious area with very clean porters. Our host had firewood ready for us upon arrival, was a text message away if needed, and was very accommodating overall. We will definitely be returning.
