Our driveway is located about 3 miles from the start of the Boston Marathon, 8 minutes from 495, but, down a country road. We find our property to be quite peaceful. We do have crickets to lull you to sleep and early birds (and sometimes a neighborhood rooster) to greet you in the morning. Keep an eye out for turtles! We are a few hundred yards from either Upton State Forest or Lake Whitehall. Lake Whitehall is popular with boaters (speed limit enforced) and is stocked with fish. No swimming. There is a public boat ramp on the other side of the lake. We often put in our kayaks at the entrance close to our house. We hike, mountain bike and picnic in these parks. It's really beautiful. There is a 24-hour grocery store 2 miles down the road. The gravel campsite is located at the barn end of our driveway in front of the red barn. There is a little privacy from the house, but, we may need to get into the barn from time to time. We have a 30amp and water hookup at the barn. If planning on using electric please add one "electric hookup" extra to each night of your stay BEFORE finishing the request to book, it's really difficult to add it after. Please plan to bring 50' of hose and/or 25ft of electrical cord if using hookups. There is wifi, BUT, it's pretty weak at the barn. Definitely not strong enough for streaming! Our Ibex camper may or may not be parked next to the barn depending on if we are out camping! We do not accept car campers. Turtle Path also has a Guest Suite. Find us on that other website! Shortly after we moved in we discovered a large snapping turtle on his way from Lake Whitehall to the creek at the back of our property. Our neighbor told us that's the turtle's usual route. Turtle won our hearts that day.*water off until Spring* Our driveway is located about 3 miles from the start of the Boston Marathon, 8 minutes from 495, but, down a country road.

Red Barn

I had a nice quiet night outside the Red Barn. Spot felt safe and secure. Was relatively flat. Host is upfront about the fact that you are staying close to their house, so not a ton of privacy but that was expected. Would stay again if I just needed a spot to park in the area.

Great spot to stop for a night!

Very convenient location for a single night while on our way to Maine! Accommodated our teardrop trailer just fine, and was a pleasant stay! The "site" is essentially in the front yard, so keep that in mind depending on what your needs are.

The Best

This was my second time staying at the Red Barn Hipcamp and it’s just perfect! Emily is wonderful about communicating, and it’s a beautiful spot (both at their location and surrounding area). Hookups are easy to access and use. Highly recommend!

Secluded, safe, and quiet.

Great secluded location that is safe and quiet. No noisy neighbors to worry about. Emily went out of her way to ensure that she made the visit comfortable and convenient.

Nice overnight in Hopkinton

Easy access off 495. Nice little town. Lovely quiet neighborhood. Was able to walk my dogs who needed some leg stretching time. Hosts were responsive and offered an extension cord for shore power but I ended up boondocking out of personal choice. Red Barn coffee shop I think that's the name was equidistant to the local Starbucks and if you're towing would be the way to go if you want coffee shop caffeine in the morning. Would def stay again. Better for smaller rigs imho. Access in from the road was a little tricky for backing in without assistance. Thank you hosts!

Amazing!

Emily’s spot was absolutely perfect! Great location. Found the spot easy to access, and it was so nice having electric right there. Emily’s communication was top-notch! I couldn’t have asked for a better all around hostess and experience for my first adventure through Hipcamp.
