Camp next to the river bank of the Souhegan River in the shade of oak, hickory, blue birch, hemlock and white pine. Let the song of the rapids sing you to sleep. Maybe the resident owls will join the serenade. This slice of heaven is only 5 minutes from the Everett Turnpike and less than an hour from Boston. Site-1 is located under the trees adjacent to a 3 acre meadow and Christmas Tree farm. Camp near the bank of the Souhegan River in the shade of white pine, shag bark hickory and blue birch while listening to the river tumble over the ledges upstream. In season, enjoy the chest deep swimming hole 100 feet from your campsite. Two horses graze on the other side of the privacy fence. If you don't like friendly dogs try site 2 where we have a better chance of keeping our dog Wilson from dropping in to visit. He loves people too much not to want to greet folks on Site 1. Site-2 is at the farthest most downstream end of the property and from mid-May to mid-October it is totally screened by foliage. From your site you only see trees and the river. If you don't like other dogs, this is the site you want. Still no guarantee Wilson won't visit, but it's easier to keep Wilson away from this corner of the property. The other side of the river is town conservation land so the only people you're likely to see will be passing by in kayaks or on paddleboards. SPECIAL NOTE: March 26th Update The roads are firming up. Roads are currently passable. It's always a good idea to check ahead with your host. Getting in is the easier part, but confirm your vehicle won't have difficulty getting back up the slight rise to exit the sites. More description... In dry season, both sites are a great place to start a float trip and you'll likely have the next 1.5 miles all to yourself since rapids up stream become impassable in July and August. You are only two traffic lights away from the Merrimack Premium Outlet Mall if you need something to do during inclement weather.

Site-2 Souhegan Serenity

Bobs camps are really great. Camps 2 is big open but very secluded, you will not here or see anyone. Bob made sure you are 100% setup for the camp with a porta loo and wood bin. i will be coming back time and time again. I did get woken up one night to fiercly battling racoons haha. also there was a big group of turkeys that visted and Wilson (Bobs pup) will visit.

Site-2 Souhegan Serenity

We loved our stay at site 2! It was very private and peaceful overlooking the water. Good level spot for our large tent and a nice platform for dining. The signs are very clear to get back to the site. We even arrived after dark because of traffic and had no issues navigating. Bob and Wilson were great hosts! We hope to stay again some time.

Bob was very hospitable even though we weren’t able to make it to the property! I’d love the chance to stay here in the future.
