We’re so glad that you’re coming in August! Here’s the picture of the site I was telling you about:
Read MoreSetting the Stage
When we’re not in our cabin in the ocean tenting area, we live in the middle of the campground. When I wake up in the morning, the first thing I do is look out of my bedroom window into the gardens, goat pen and studio. When I go to bed at night, I look out…
Read MoreFacebook or Blog?
In the beginning, the blog was such a welcome change from the website…I’ve always loved to journal my days and the opportunity to share pictures and thoughts with friends kept me more disciplined. This hasn’t changed…BUT…like many of you, I reluctantly joined Facebook and now I’m hooked…it’s like the sugar rush of blogging…so quick to…
Read MoreGearing up for Art this Summer
If you haven’t checked out the Artist in Residence calendar yet, you haven’t seen the list of amazing artists who will be working at the campground this summer…they’ll be sharing their passion with you and working on their own art too.

Traditionally it’s a mildly busy weekend for us at the campground. A good mix of old friends and new faces ready to…

The gardens are bursting, the trees are blossoming in succession…first the cherries were splendid, now the crab apples are promising to flower any day now…and we still have daffodils…such a pretty world! We’ve had some great news…when this Sunday’s Globe Magazine hits…

How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. Well, opening the campground is like being a mouse looking up the leg of an elephant…if you look up long enough, you begin to believe there’s no end in sight. I know, I hear you saying…stop whining, it’s been a dry Spring and Winter…
Read MoreEarly Spring
Last weekend Laurie Matthews and her family called and asked if they could pitch a tent for the day. The part that stumped me was “for the day”…most people want to pitch a tent for the night. The sky was bright blue, the ocean sparkled but the wind was chilly…we don’t open until next weekend…
Read MoreThe Art Studio
Before I ever dreamed about running a campground, I spent years in France designing and selling fabric. The whole story is as winding and convoluted as a tale can be but suffice it to say that the experience left me with a love of color and fiber that fills all the corners of my thoughts.…
