Welcome! This spot offers a rare chance to camp by a mossy brook, with its waterfalls, whirlpools, glacial boulders, and pools. We are Brad and Christine, and we are excited to share our, off grid, pocket of eastern forest. This peaceful site overlooks a spring fed brook. The thick moss practically glows on the rocks, as the brook runs under a thick canopy of trees. As the brook leaves our land, it passes under a centuries old, hand hewn, granite bridge. There are no houses, no street lights, or traffic. Years go by without hearing a siren or a car horn. The sky at night offers wonderful views of the heavens, undiluted by city light. The property is 12 acres, surrounded by thousands of acres of private, undeveloped land. We are located on the edge of the wildness, but we are only 9 minutes from a grocery store, pharmacy and EV charging station. Across the dirt road from us is our neighbors farm pasture with it's changing cast of animals, including donkeys, cows, horses, sheep, and pigs. We are in the Lakes region of New Hampshire. The property is in Wolfeboro, which has been attracting visitors since 1749 and is the oldest summer resort town in America. We are 40 minutes from downtown, on the shore of Lake Winnipesaukee, which is the largest lake in New Hampshire. This quaint town offers shops, cafe's, restaurants, boat rentals and lake cruises. The fishing is legendary. There are many other beautiful towns to explore in this region, our personal favorite being Sandwich. This area is known for its many outdoor activities, with hiking and mountain biking trails, lakes and rivers to Kayak or canoe. We are only a few minutes drive to the Cotton Valley Rail Trail. If seeing the Atlantic ocean calls to you, we are an hour from the Maine and New Hampshire coasts, with their rocky outcroppings and sandy beaches. You can't go wrong with its historic port towns like Portsmouth in NH and York, Kennebunkport, and Ogunquit in Maine.This is our only site, and it overlooks the cascading brook as it drops towards the antique granite bridge. There is nothing like the sound of the babbling brook tumbling over rocks. Build a fire, directly overlooking the falls, and listen to the water and the crackling fire at the same time. It makes for a soothing and memorable camping experience. The site comes equipped with a picnic bench, chairs, a bench, and sunken, stone, firepit. There is a rocky, quarter mile long walking trail, that traces the brook through the woods. The brook rises and falls quickly with rain and snow melt. It can change, within hours, from a gentle, babbling brook, to a thundering waterfall. The site is well above the water and thankfully has not flooded, even with the century floods we had in 2023. The site has a 22' by 45', flat, sand pad (natural to this area) surrounded by. It is surrounded by trees on three sides, and is accessed from our wide, gravel driveway. There is room for a big rig, an extra car, or two small class C's or two vans. There is very minimal, if any, cell service, no wifi, and no hook ups. This is a boondocking only site. No one lives within sight, although you can see a glimpse of our cabin up the driveway. There is both shade and direct sun for solar. Wander down the forest path leading from camp site down to the bridge, where you can sit by the water or cross the bridge and explore the path across from the site which runs approximately a quarter mile in to the woods to a large wetland. Across the road is our neighbors pasture with a changing cast of animals, including donkeys, horses, sheep, and pigs. You can find almost any animal or bird native to an eastern forest here, the deer, turkeys, porcupines, painted and snapping turtles, beaver, ducks, herons, hawks, and owls are regulars. In the spring, Black Nosed Dace fish spawn in the brook, where thousands of fish make the trip up the rapids to the wetlands above us. There are Bear and Moose in the area, but we haven't seen them personally.

Nice site, great fire

Very nice spot overlooking a brook with an amazing fire location (calling it a pit doesn't begin to describe it). Comes with bench at the fire, chairs and a nice picnic table. Pretty flat. Nice and private, and the owners are super nice and responsive.

Camping in peace

A perfectly spacious and cozy site. The babbling brook right beside it was a delight to fall asleep to, and, to top it all off, the farm across the street made for a beautiful place to watch the auroras.

Camping by the river!

We really enjoyed Brad’s site, it was so relaxing. It was definitely worth the drive from Mass. He met us at the campsite and told us what was around. Brad was excellent! I would definitely recommend taking some time to check this spot out!

Slice of heaven in New Hampshire

This is definitely one of my favorite places we have stayed. The subtle brook flowing by the campsite gave us the soundtrack we needed. Great walks around the area, and not far from the downtown area of Wolfborough. We absolutely loved our time and would come back again!
