Enjoy fresh veggies from the garden and have the comforts of home with use of a large picbic table outside or dining table in the yurt. Guests are welcome to sleep in the yurt on a first come/first serve basis at no extra charge to make camping easy. The toilet and shower located in our home are open for you to use as needed. WIFI can be used on the porch or if you are parking an RV near the house. I work from home sewing Hanging HUGS custom luxury hammocks and can teach you how to sew your own, or offer what I have in stock. An expedition sea kayaker and expert rock climber, with more than 25 years experience giving clients a unique look at our province, it's my pleasure to introduce you to favourite spots. We also own an off-grid camping area 45 minutes south close to Fundy Trail Provincial Park and have made a hiking trail to an epic location which I have been developing for rock climbing over 10 years. Pull a kayak to the river in ten minutes or try a loop trail around the property on a fat bike. You could easily fill a weekend here with outdoor activities and make memories you'll never forget.

Trip 'n Daisy and their little shih tzu McGee live in rural New Brunswick, nestled on 50 acres of mostly forested land. We treasure where we live, the long winding country roads, the pristine lakes and rivers nearby. We live in nature and respect it. Wildlife is abundant and being on a game trail we regularly see wild turkeys, porcupines, raccoons, skunk, fox, coyote, deer, moose, bear and whatever else mosey's on by! Bring a camera, you never know who might come to visit! Along the Chiputneticook lakes and river crossings, there are multiple lakes near by and a creeks and rivers that used to be used as the main method of transportation of food and goods along the way - from the Saint John River to the St. Croix River, there is much history and many untouched areas that remain mostly in their natural state. We are located 2 minutes (drive) near East Grand Lake, we are on Forest City Road, Fosterville, which is located between 2 border crossings - Fosterville, NB/Orient, ME and Forest City, NB/Forest City, ME. So whether you are heading to or from the USA, or exploring New Brunswick you can find us here! We are about 1 hour from Woodstock, NB, 1.5 hours from Fredericton, NB, 45 minutes from Houlton, ME or 25 to Danforth, ME. We are about 2.5 hours to Edmunston, NB and the Quebec border crossing, 3 hours to Moncton or Saint John, NB. You can access many trails to hike, bike, ATV, walk. There are many lakes/rivers to swim, boat, kayak or canoe. Book a space - you can rent our Aliner Hippie Peace and Love Shack OR our vintage 1973 Golden Falcon which has been tripped out '60's style! You can bring an RV or trailer - max 30 feet - we find that A Class motor homes are often too big or heavy so don't recommend them. We have 3 spaces for RV's & trailers that belong to YOU! On our property you will be surrounded by ash and pine trees. A large weeping willow. There is an outhouse available, garbage and recycling, if in an RV or trailer we have 3 spots that provide 30amp power and water is available by hose to fill up if needed. Tents - we have many spaces but your location will be your choice, find a nice spot, that is flat. The outhouse is available. There are no showers on site at this time, however, the lake is lovely! This is a rustic, restful place for quiet, respite, sharing community and being a trippie hippie! We are starting out offering 6 tenting sites - you choose your site upon arrival. We have an arts/craft gallery on site as well as a darts room for a rainy night! Wifi and cell service are not available here, if you are on US roaming you can get service and some cell providers provide spotty service. There is a public wifi location 5 minutes away if you need to connect. We have a landline for emergencies. Trip 'n Daisy have traveled throughout Atlantic Canada including Newfoundland in their vintage Hippie Hangout 1973 Golden Falcon - it is now available to rent - you can sleep 2 to 3 people comfortably in the space. It is decked out with a cool '60's vibe - hand painted inside and out with Trip's artful flair and includes a toilet, sinks, fridge, cooktop, water, table/dinette that flips into the second bed. Dishes/pots/basic cooking needs, etc. Bedding can be included for an extra fee - but you can bring your own! They also towed their Aliner pop up trailer - the Hippie Peace & Love Shack. It includes an RV size double bed, suitable for a couple as well as a dinette that folds into a second single bed. There is a fridge, cooktop and table/dinette that flips into a second single bed. There is no toilet but we have added a cassette toilet for you, for night use, and there is water in the space. Again, we recommend you bring your own bedding but we can supply for an additional fee. We do have access to Electric Vehicle charging - either a wall outlet Level 1 or a Level 2 charger - which is free for 2 hours or for a fee for longer charges. We have lawn furniture on the grounds to share and to use around the communal fire pit. Fire pit in one location only and based on current fire rules/bans. There are NO stores or gas stations nearby, so please ensure you fill up with supplies/fuel before venturing down the country road! Full details on site location and instructions for driving will be supplied upon booking. Due to wildlife in the area we REQUIRE that ALL food is put away at night and during the day when not eating. If you are tenting please bring a secure cooler and place in locked vehicles at night. We have a dog and he is ALWAYS on leash - if you bring a dog - you MUST ALWAYS pick up after it (our dog does not use our yard as a toilet, so we prefer yours doesn't either); dogs must be on leash and/or in a secure fenced area. This is not only for our dogs safety, but for yours, remember wildlife! We have been here for 13 years, as British Columbian transplants, we love this property and home and hope that you have a great experience as well! When camping we will always have one person available if you need us! Many people like to call this a home base as they travel across the USA border for day trips or to shop! Feel free to do so! Because Trip 'n Daisy are trippy hippies and enjoy nature, we recommend adults are most suitable for this site. Peace and love, Trip 'n Daisy Feel free to message with any questions, the more information you have, the better!

A truly hidden gem! We were received well and the warmth from Paul and Sue was perfect for our couple's roadtrip. We will definitely return there if we ever go back to New-Brunswick. The view was stunning in the evening and in the morning. Only the sound of nature can be enjoy to make you relax after a long day of driving. A must stay if you are in the area!

We had a wonderful time tenting here! The owners are very friendly and easy going. The property is gorgeous and my twins had a blast playing in the brook all day. It was our first time tenting as a family and I can confidently say we couldn’t have picked a better spot! If you’re thinking about booking, you won’t be disappointed! 10/10 would recommend and hope to come back again sometime in the near future! Thanks so much Paul and Sue!

I loved tent camping on Paul’s land! I ended up staying in another site than I originally had booked (and was able to pick the one that had the most privacy by the stream. The hammock and lounger by the water was a nice touch. They even helped me put up my tent even (I had never set it up without my husband ha ha). I loved just exploring the land surrounding the farm and the bunnies were adorable! The stars and fireflies at night were so beautiful. Since this was my first Hipcamp stay I am so thankful I had such great hosts! Thanks again for the memories!

We only stayed one night on Braydon’s land but it was very charming and Braydon was very knowledgeable regarding off grid living/ homesteading. There were nice little spots nestled in the trees all over his land to camp and despite its more remote location it was a very fun spot to spend the night. We would definitely consider returning if we were passing through again.

If you love true camping, disconnecting and connecting with nature and/or if you are interested in homesteading this is the place for you! We loved our spot, which was very private, the place is absolutely beautiful with lots of trails and the owners are very welcoming and knowledgeable. And the best part all the animals! We will definitely be back, thanks for letting us in on a glimpse of your homestead and letting us pick your brains!

I enjoyed my tent site at the homestead. It had a secluded and quiet place to camp, and Braydon was an accommodating and friendly host.

A quiet spot in the middle of the most beautiful, enchanted forest. Absolutely loved it! Definitely do the foraging walkabout. Braydon is very knowledgeable on the flora and fauna in the area. Lots to learn. What a wonderful adventure!
