Beautiful private campspot!

10 m fifth wheel

Beautiful private location at end of a wooded drive just a bit off of the lake. Dan and Sue have put an enormous amount of love and care into this spot, and are exceptional hosts. Every detail is covered and when (and if) anything is needed, they are readily available. We used this spot as our starting point for our New Hampshire / Maine fall adventures. Plenty to see and do within hour or two of the camp spot. Work from trailer and wifi is good (either his or T-Mobile Home service I use). Absolutely would recommend to anyone and will stay here again if we make it back to Maine!

Host of the year

5 m travel trailer · Group trip

To stay at the Queen's Property ended up being so much more than a private full hookups campsite on Thomas Pond. Our host Daniel was the star. He was so welcoming, friendly and generous to us from the get go. His care for the land and openness about the area and the improvements made really could be felt. And then there were the loons eagles ducks turtles frogs and fish, the pond that supports all this wildlife, so welcoming too. So cool on the hot days here and kayaking in the quiet morning time with the pond fog not quite lifted was magical and will not be forgotten. We hiked nearby and had such a lovely and peaceful retreat at the end of each outing. The site was super clean we had zero issues and will be back again next year for sure.

Splendid, peaceful perfection

9 m Class C · With pets

My husband, our four-legged children and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Queen’s Property. The site is tucked away in a secluded and gorgeous nook of the woods not far from Thomas Pond. It is completely private, away from everything except nature’s innate beauty. The amenities are top-notch, the fire pit is nicely positioned and the surroundings are beyond comparison. We were there nine nights and it just wasn’t long enough. Our first night we were so excited to be greeted by a pair of owls hooting. Every evening thereafter, the loons were singing their hauntingly beautiful wail. Our dogs, too, were overjoyed with the location. There were plenty of trails to hike and at the dock the water was shallow enough, they could jump in without worry. There were an abundance of new scents and squirrels to distract them (we did not let them chase or harm any of the wildlife). With all the perfection the site itself had to offer, our stay was made even more wonderful by the host. Dan was amazing. He met us about a mile from the campsite and gave us a quick tour. The wood we requested was next to the fire pit and the kayaks were at the dock ready for us to explore the pristine and expansive pond. He checked on us a couple times but was not intrusive. We cannot give The Queen’s Property a higher rating. It is the absolute best and we hope to visit year after year.

Perfect private, spacious site

4 m travel trailer

Dan’s spot was perfect! Private, spacious, well-equipped. The site is surrounded by trees with a glimpse of the water through the forest. Our dogs loved having free run of the site and surrounding woods. The pond was beautiful, and we loved hanging out on the dock. The waterfront area is nice and clean with a sandy bottom, but note there’s no beach— woods goes right up to the water. It’s shallow, clear, and has a sandy bottom though for wading. It was loved by both humans and dogs. Our favorite hipcamp yet! We will be back.

The site was incredibly private and well maintained. Lovely views and access to the water. Daniel, the host, was super communicative and so nice and met us to show us around. We had a great stay and would highly recommend this wonderful spot.
