We would be delighted to assist you on your outdoor adventure immersing yourself in the glory that is nature!
We offer pre-determined multi-day camping river trips for up to a 105-mile stretch of the Connecticut River starting 60 miles North (of our location) at Ryegate Dam in Bath, New Hampshire and ending 45 miles South (of our location) at Putney Landing in Putney, Vermont.

FAQ
-
Depending on the camping selection that you make can vary the necessary equipment you may need. Generally, we recommend each person has his/her own pillow, change of clothes, swimsuit for the river, shoes you can get wet and a towel. We also ask that guests please use environmentally responsible soaps for solar the shower and that you dispose of your items appropriately between trash and recycling receptacles.

Unfortunately, we do not permit dogs into our camping areas for overnight stays. However, dogs are allowed to visit the garden with guests for a garden tour if they are leashed and owners bring their own bags to dispose of excrement in one of the various trash cans located throughout the garden.

No. There is no running water in the garden, but there are portable outdoor sinks for hand-washing at the porta-potty stations throughout the garden. Campers are also given a 5-gallon jug to fill with water at our hose for drinking.

Currently we have 4 pre-positioned porta-potties in the garden. Two can be found along the main access road and two additional potties are located along the outer edges of the garden path.
