Ben, Amanda and their little one live here, in the home that Ben grew up in. They make it a large part of their lives to tend the land, with plenty of time spent planting and nourishing perennial fruit and nut 'orchards.' In 2020, we built our first (of two) tent platforms with accompanying sites and outhouses. Our goal is to share our beautiful land, view, and peaceful solitude with those who are interested. This land was originally inhabited by the Wabanaki, and anyone with indigenous roots is welcome to camp here, free of charge. Contact us, and we'll set it up.This gorgeous private campsite looks East to the White Mountains, with the opportunity for the observation of a stunning sunrise every morning. When it isn't booked, we frequently camp at this site. FIREWOOD, DRINKING WATER, and OUTHOUSE USAGE AVAILABLE! This is a tent site! The tent platform (12x12) keeps you off the ground. Bring your own tent, sleeping bag, stove, camping supplies, etc. We are about 6 miles off the interstate in Bradford, Vermont. It is relatively quiet, beautiful, natural. Our lovely piece of paradise is yours to share for the duration of your stay. This is a camping platform on our working homestead. This site is very private; so mostly it will just be you and your tranquil thoughts. But in the distance you may hear our squawking chickens, the neighbors' dogs, rabble-rousers revving their truck engines, etc. If you wander the property, you may see us out weeding and watering the garden, pruning the fruit trees, harvesting produce, schlepping lumber, etc. There is a fire pit that you are welcome to use; firewood is available for $5 per generous bundle. We also provide a large tote of fresh-from-the-well drinking water. If you run out, you are welcome to refill it. The outhouse is your bathroom for your stay here; as this is the only tent site, you will be sharing it only with your party. We ask that you keep any food (or food-smelling) products either in your vehicle or in the bear-proof barrel that we provide! We look forward to sharing our beautiful space with you!

Tent Platform @ the Sugar Shack

The views were absolutely stunning. The hosts were so friendly and easy going. The fire pit and platform were a nice touch, made camping easy and convenient . There was an outhouse with a saw bucket for bathroom usage and we had plenty of privacy. We will return.

Tent Platform @ Woods Edge

I had such an amazing stay at this site!! There was a beautiful view of the mountains, and it’s close to town and some nice hiking spots. They supplied a few gallons of water, and even brought me a shovel for the unexpected snowfall! It was super peaceful, and I would highly recommend for anyone wanting to get away from the world for a little bit 😊

Tent Platform @ the Sugar Shack

Exactly What We Needed

It was absolutely beautiful and Amanda was incredibly accommodating of our trip right after a major snow storm! It’s a wonderful, private spot that couldn’t have been better for us! It was easy to access the outhouse and get a bundle of wood for a fire even in the snow!

Tent Platform @ the Sugar Shack

I'm hesitant to leave this review... because this site is so awesome. I've stayed at Amanda's spot before in 2022 and it was the perfect place to rest after a few days of hiking through NH. It's peaceful, beautiful, and serene. The long table is a perfect place to brew coffee, make dinner, and share time with one other. The fire pit is perfect for unwinding with a book, and making some smores. Highly recommend... but don't tell anyone else!!!
