Best for self-contained campers. There are no toilets, showers, or potable water at this Hipcamp.
Privately nestled in a historic farming community, this RV and tent site offers views of fields and distant hills. Surrounded by conservation land with maintained walking trails leading to Meeting House Pond (46 acres), guests can enjoy public fishing, kayaking, and canoeing. The owners reside on-site, but not in view, in a charming 1790s farmhouse. The property is within walking distance to Meeting House Pond, and the Meeting House Cemetery where Grace Metalious, author of "Peyton Place," is buried. The conservation land features a rare flax retting pond, adding to the unique experience. Whether you seek a secluded spot for your RV, camper, or tent activities to enrich your stay, this site offers a delightful glimpse into early American life. As a new addition to HipCamp, we eagerly await your feedback.Privately nestled in a historic farming community, this RV/Tent site offers views of fields and distant hills.

We had a great time, parking our RV and setting up a tent at Mark‘s spot. There was a fire pit with lots of firewood provided. We had enough space to set up ladder ball, and cornhole, in addition to our 30’ RV and 3 person tent. The sunrise over the field across the road was beautiful. There’s a really nice hiking trail nearby that led to the shore of Meetinghouse Pond. The only challenge was that Google Maps sent us to the wrong road (Joe Jones Road), but a friendly neighbor helped us find our way when we came to a sign that indicated the road was not maintained. Once we got to the right road (Meeting House Rd), the orange cone that Mark put out made it easy to find, as well as the white fence from the listing. This is the first time that we didn’t camp at a state park or larger facility for RVs and it was really nice to have the whole place to ourselves.

Mark’s location is serene country. Finding a great spot to park the trailer was easy. You are close to several lakes and can enjoy the outdoors. If you are looking for a location to get away from it all, you have found it here. Thanks for the quick communication and pre travel tips.
