Camp Menotomy-Girl Scouts Eastern Massachusetts has a website, has no camper cabins, and you can rent a tent platform directly close to the Winnipesaukee water for a week......just bring your own tent or something.....don't know how it's done?

Says it is 95-acres, and the undeveloped waterfront is maybe 1/4-mile or something? Seems like it is very empty of any people? ....... young, old, or middle-aged? ..... there's nobody home most always? ..... but has become a home for the deer, bobcat, fox, turkey, and bear .... posted-no hunting, no trespassing!

Located across from the south end of Bear Island......mostly undeveloped.....with many, many trees.

Supposedly, (and this may be incorrect) it pays no property taxes, and is occupied through a 99-year lease for a dollar/year......upon said time it gets reviewed by a probate court......so the Girl Scouts cannot sell it off.....even if they wanted to, or something......such a mysterious legal history(?) ..... but it does have a wonderful looking, undeveloped, roadside quality what with all the undeveloped land, like the original forest land.....some type of catch-22 situation.....no people, no cabins, mostly the same old forest, level rocky land......just the woods and the wild animals .....and some tent platforms located right next to the water....but also in the woods, at the same time with a very long wooded waterfront?

Menotomy seems like a very strange situation; 95-acres of Lake Winnipesaukee waterfront land, with it held by the Girl Scouts through a 99-year lease....so it is basically unused, un-property taxed, and unable to be sold what with the lease.....or something like this .... and the local wildlife animals like the deer and the bear and the wild turkey have moved in ......... oh well?

So, make this summer your time to slow down and step into the past, by spending a week at Menotomy........ where time moves very slowly...... omg? ...... does the name 'Camp Menotomy' suggest to you that it could be monotony?
