The pond accessed down steep steps . Zeus the big German Shepherd neighbor's dog will be present.. He's a big baby and sweetheart and very smart. . I can be present, or leave you completely alone . You will be amongst huge pine trees. Very private on a dead end road with waterfront on Half Moon pond.. Dock, kayak, and an electric trolling boat bass boat along with various floats, and fishing poles available. 1 campsite for 2 tents, max 6 persons within 50 minutes to Boston. 35 minutes to Hampton Beach... 90 minutes to White Mtns... Out the back door is walking access to miles and hours of trails through the woods of Kingston Town Forest and adjacent Conservation Land.. Fire pit and wood, on site along with picnic table, chairs , . Perfect for car campers.#String picking musicians stay for free .# You will be  camping in my front yard amongst pine trees. Or set your tent up on the patio Barge with a floating fireplace. Fire ring, picnic table, gas grill , electric extension cord.  It will be close to my house, but feel like private.. You do your own thing back there.  My bathroom will be available 24/7 and the door will always be open. My dog is very friendly. He may bark at first but his name is Archie . Also, a neighbor's German Shepard may come to visit. His name is Zeus and he's very friendly . More than likely, I will be in house, and if then, available. My place is on a rocky bluff overlooking Halfmoon Pond with a fantastic west sunset view and a dock on the water. Lotta STEEP stairs though. Part of my dock is 20 ft pontoon boat with a trolling motor..#photo is NOTt from my dock# . I take it out every sunset. Join if ya want. Otherwise it's for you to use A jon boat bass boat for two. With 2 fishing poles available and no license required. 1 kayak . Multiple water floats on site. .. AND fire on the water.. what's not to like?

Good host but improvements needed
Ronald is a very affable and kind host who offered indoor accommodation during a thunderstorm and a boat ride as well. We made use of his laundry facilities and bathtub shower, as well as outdoor access to electricity. Overall the campsite area itself was unkempt...a discarded wet futon mattress, picnic table with dirt and mold on it, chairs tipped over and discarded, the stairs into Ron's house in disrepair. Indoors, the toilet handle was broken. Ron is a good host and some attention to his place will increase the attractiveness of camping there.

Backyard wonder
Settled in a quiet neighborhood, Ron’s cabin is perched over a small pond. There is shady space in his backyard to camp. What stands out is the pond and Ron’s pontoon boat. It’s a lovely oasis being on the water and watching the sunset. Ron is generous and allows his guests to use the boat and build a fire on his floating fire out.

Ron makes this place! He is a great host, awesome sunset rides on his pontoon. He also gave us great ideas for our next day of exploring. Loved swimming in the warm pond!

Ronald is a very accommodating host! He let us take his boat out, use his house, and is a fun guy.

We had a great time at the campsite! Ronald had prepped some kindling for us when we arrived and was very generous about letting us use his pontoon to go out on the pond. Lots of swimming and good memories made. :) Thanks for a great stay!

Amazing Spot with Gracious Host
The campsite was excellent, with a lot of space and a provided picnic table, gas grill, large fire pit, and open access to the house on the property with a bathroom. We comfortably set up 3 tents and 2 cars and still had plenty of room. The neighbors have a dog named Zeus who visited us occasionally (very friendly) but otherwise we were left to our own devices the entire time. The pond was perfect in every way, and Ron provided us with a pontoon boat, kayak, fishing gear, and a floating fire pit (with wood already set up for a fire). We spent most of our time boating, swimming, and fishing and could not have asked for a better experience. Overall, Ron was incredibly generous and we would love to stay again. Highly recommended!
