Nomadic camping
Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.
Tucked away in the Lake Umbagog wilderness, we are a small privately-owned farm with the wonders of the area surrounding us. Boating and fishing? Check. Hiking and mountain-biking? Check. Swimming and Sailing? Check! All the fun and memories that go with camping and bonfires and outdoor cooking! Check! IMPORTANT PLEASE NOTE: We are intentionally remote, secluded, and off-grid. We are best accessed by water (1.3 mile paddle or motorboat), with a seasonal (May 15-December 1) 9-mile very rough (4wd) logging access road (minimum vehicle clearance 8in---seriously). For first-time guests arriving by road, you will need to be guided in---the property is impossible to find on your own (no gps, no map). If you arrive by road, please note that you must park (free/overnight/safe/secure) at a narrow trailhead and walk to the lakeside sites about 1/4 mile down the hill. We are happy to help you with your gear and have a couple of wheelbarrows and sometimes an ATV. So unless you want to RV/truck/car camp at the trailhead (definitely an option), it is tent-only camping on the lakeshore and garden sites. Please don't ask if you can drive your vehicle right down to the site---we don't even drive our own down. However you decide to arrive, we are happy to guide you at no extra charge. We do have cellular phone service on site and shoreline but not on the logging road in. [There is unfortunately no way for us to make the property accessible for guests who need the use of personal mobility equipment. Also, from experience, we MUST caution those with medical conditions that this is a WILDERNESS location, at least two hours from any medical facilities and very difficult to even medevac.] We have a small fishing boat (paddle only), 1 kayak, 3 mountain bikes, and a canoe for rent; firewood for purchase on site; your choice of spots to pitch a tent or use our raised platform. Join us for astonishing sunsets, breathtaking wildlife, and beautiful gardens. We can't wait to meet you!

Fireside
Camping on Umbagog Lake was an absolute pleasure. The view from Catherine’s property was breathtaking. Felt completely secluded, and tranquil. The short hike from our truck to the site was managed with 2 wheel barrows and sweat, but well worth it. Our dog loved playing in the lake, and exploring the grounds. We only stayed two nights, and unfortunately got a bit stormy so didn’t have the chance to have a good fire - but on a calm night can imagine it is the perfect evening. We felt safe through the windy/rain as one of us still had cell service in the middle of the forest. Will definitely look at returning in the fall, maybe boating in next time! Thanks again!

South Cove
Quiet and Secluded
We had a wonderful time camping here and would absolutely recommend, as well as come again. It was quiet and has plenty of space for multiple tents on the property. We had a wonderful fire with s’mores and did lots of kayaking! The kayak trip there was quick and easy (about 30 mins, maybe more if it were to be more windy/choppy on the lake), which was a plus as we often overpack! If it was a little warmer during our stay, we definitely would have taken advantage of the sandy beach water front. Thanks to the hosts for a great overnight stay!

Garden
Garden camping
We camped at the garden site which had a feeling of privacy with another site close by. While the garden site was out back, a shared shore line and communal fire shared a beautiful view. We had a great time swimming in Umbagog lake. We did have to park and walk to the site(about a 1/4 mile walk in) Catherine and Skip were great hosts and very accommodating. We had a great time and high reccomend!
