Owl's Nest Resort
Enjoy a laid-back tubing trip on New Hampshire’s peaceful waters, perfect for groups looking to bond and relax in nature. Discover why this easygoing float is a favored local outdoor activity.
Owl's Nest Resort is a recreation provider based in Campton, New Hampshire, offering outdoor water and horseback experiences designed for groups and visitors seeking nature-based activities. The resort organizes a two-hour Turtle Float that meets at Dotsero Landing and includes provided tubes for participants to enjoy a shared floating experience on the water. That trip emphasizes group bonding and relaxed scenic time on the river.
Owl's Nest Resort also partners with Abenaki Farm to run guided one-hour horseback trail rides across 120 acres of maintained trails in the White Mountains region. Each horseback ride begins with a thorough orientation to equipment and safety, and guides lead riders through varied forest and meadow scenery suitable for all skill levels.
Both experiences are designed to be accessible: the Turtle Float supplies tubing equipment and facilitates group logistics, while the Horseback Riding trips start with orientation to accommodate riders new to horses. Reservations, meeting locations, and exact departure times are provided at booking.
Owl's Nest Resort focuses on straightforward outdoor recreation offerings in Campton, NH, pairing simple, well-defined trips with clear participant guidance.
