Description
We are located on a tidal river about 5 miles inland from Portsmouth NH and Interstate 95. The boondocking site is the right hand side of our driveway. The driveway is pitched so you most likely will need a couple inches of leveling blocks. The electric connection is a standard 15 amp household electric circuit so RV AC may overload the circuit. I hope to upgrade that to a 30 amp soon. Our rear yard is river front and is totally fenced in so the dogs can be off leash. We ask you pick after your pet. You can sit by the campfire looking at the river and also use the screen house to avoid the bugs in the evening.
House Rules
Be nice, be kind, pick up after yourself. A bottle of red wine goes a long way.
Access Road Conditions
Our street is a small dead end neighborhood of 12 homes. There is a turnaround at the end but it has trees overhanging. Shouldn't be an issue backing into our driveway or backing out into the street.
Tow Vehicle Parking Details
With your camper. The camping spot is our driveway. The maximum length for camper and vehicle is 42 feet. In our sloped driveway you will need 6 to 8 inches of blocks to level your camper front to back. I have made heavy duty wood ramps which you can use. If you need more space for your tow vehicle I may be able to provide it with advance notice.

Great location!
Thank you, NHWanderlust, for providing a comfortable, beautiful location for a 3 day visit. Time spent sitting along the Bellamy River, enjoying wine, s'mores, or coffee was very relaxing. Along with easy conversations with our hosts, our 3 grandchildren enjoyed exploring the neighborhood and fun times with Tahoe, one of the host's pets. We also visited the Children's Museum and Wagon Hill Farms.

A peaceful sanctuary
NHWanderlust were amazing hosts! So warm and inviting and their pup and mine immediately became best friends. They were kind enough to take me out on the beautiful tidal river by kayak and show me the beauty of New Hampshire- the most peaceful I have felt in months. I could not have felt more welcome and lucky to have stayed here... You cannot beat the view and fantastic company! Thank you again so much for having us. I hope to see you on the road soon!

Amazing hosts
Right from the beginning they were so accommodating and nice. Perfect spot and animal lovers. It was fun to the let the dogs play. Great conversation about our mutual love of traveling. It’s great to hear their stories. When we are back in the area we will definitely look to stay here again. Highly recommended.

Great stay!
What a very nice experience meeting The NH Wonderlust couple (not supposed to use real names J and R) ! They were very welcoming and accommodating. I throughly enjoyed our conversations and the wonderful dinner. I hope to cross paths with them, and Tahoe and Gypsy one day in the future. Maybe if and when we can attend a Blues festival somewhere in the US again one day, we can arrange to meet at one.

Delightful hosts and property!
We had a great stay. One note, the driveway is sloped so be prepared to jack your camper about 6-8 inches to make it level. Our hosts recommended that we visit the nearby Wagon Hill Farm and it was beautiful, especially walking through the woods down by the water.

Wonderful River
We loved our visit to this idyllic riverside home. Our hosts were communicative, friendly and outgoing. We had great talks with them, as well as a wonderful river canoe paddle. Thanks for a wonderful stay! Come visit us on Cape Cod.

Best first experience
Richard is like the uncle everyone loves. His lakeside home is a gem and he was kind enough to share power. The greater first experience using this site!

Staying with Family
I had such an amazing stay with NHWanderlust. They were wonderful hosts that made me feel like I was staying with family. We ended up having dinner together 2 of the 3 nights, shared stories with a fire as the sunset and dogs played in their beautiful backyard. They also showed me around the wildlife preserve across the river during a morning walk. I was sad to leave, felt like I was saying bye to family I didn't know when I'd see again!
Thank you guys so much for opening your home to me and my pups. Happy Travels from Kristie, Willie & Nelson!

Great experience with very friendly and outdoorsy hosts
What a great experience! We stayed with NHWanderlust on our 2nd night of 12 day RV trip. Our high-energy dog played well with their dogs, and it was a very comfortable experience with having a 3 month old baby on our first RV trip. The hosts were very friendly, shared a passion for the outdoors and protection our natural resources, and knowledgeable about the local area in addition to the other areas we planned to travel to in NH.

Watching the river
Had a good time sitting in the back yard watching the river and enjoying the fire and conversation. The two dogs and cat were friendly too.
We felt quite welcome.

Great time in NH
Lovely stay with great hosts. Beautiful spot where we enjoyed great evenings outdoors, along the fireside, chatting about this and that. Had the chance to see the surrounding area and will hopefully see you someplace, sometime in the future. Thanks again
