Toad Hill is a remote 45 acre property surrounded by pristine forest and located in the heart of The White Mountains. There is lots to do and see in the area. Hike, bike, snowmobile or ski from the door to waterfalls, ponds, or just around the property in search of birds and wildlife. Take a day trip to Province or Mountain Pond for both swimming and fly fishing. Toad hill also host a summer music festival and has beautiful sculptures around the property. Perfect for people trying to get away from life and into nature!
Avoid This Site – Host is Unreliable and Unprofessional
I strongly advise anyone considering this Hipcamp listing to think twice, especially if you are traveling with small children or relying on the host for any form of assistance.
This accommodation requires a 40+ minute hike to reach the campsite. The host, Justin, offered to transport our gear via snowmobile, so we gave him a two-hour heads-up before our arrival. Despite this, we waited in the freezing cold for over four hours, during which he was completely unresponsive and nowhere to be found. After searching the property and attempting to contact him multiple times, we were left stranded without our gear and ultimately had to hike back to our car and leave.
A local store owner later warned us that Justin has a sketchy reputation and may struggle with substance abuse issues, which, based on our experience, seems entirely plausible. His complete lack of responsibility left us in an unsafe and unacceptable situation.
This was a huge waste of time and money, and we are now fighting for a refund. If you do decide to book, come fully prepared to be self-sufficient, as you cannot rely on the host for anything. I would never return and absolutely do not recommend this site.
A couple things to note- DO NOT FOR ANY REASON TAKE THE ROBINS HILL ROUTE!!!! Bad bad route by apple maps that was rough on the car. It started as just gravel and turned much more treacherous. We ended up turning around and taking a different route, and it said the road we we supposed to come out on was a dead end… sus. Note, if you have a souped up vehicle, it could be fun!
In terms of the location, it was exactly what we were looking for! Lots of space for our pup to run around, and the trail was UPHILL, but it was fun! If you are looking for the mountain pond, do not take the right that the yellow sign notes! Go forward to the little unkempt path!
Note, there is no insulation, running water, it’s a double bed, there were quite a few ladybugs hanging around in the bus as well. But, we loved it! It was exactly what we needed— a little shelter from the chilly night, and we brought lots of blankets!
I would recommend this place to any campers...1st timers & any other campers. We have been coming for over 6 years and it has never let us down. Now, we never go anywhere else and also tell family & friends, and they have loved it as well. Kudos to Justin and Olivia!
Overall, the bus was in a great location, ideal for stargazing and hiking, and the wood stove kept us warm on the 40F nights. The fire pit and cooking area was great as well. Unfortunately, there was mouse poop all over the bus when we arrived and the outhouse was not kept clean. If they could up their maintenance a bit and set a few mouse traps for the lodging areas, we would definitely stay again.
My boyfriend & I planned a last second mental health trip. We wanted to be far away from hustle and bustle & we weren’t disappointed! Definitely recommend a vehicle that can handle rugged terrain, my forester did just fine but I could see how bad weather could leave one stuck in spots. We stood in the gypsy one! I absolutely LOVED it, it seems to be a work In progress so we will definitely plan a day in the future to return when it’s completed! It was 100% our vibe, we loved sitting by the fire listening to the sounds of the forest & laughing! Than exploring the palmstry set. Not sure how it’d be in the winter, not insulated yet but there seems to be a heater set up for propane! If you’re a hippie soul this little place will intrigue you !
