It was a really nice campground. The sites are huge and we were by the river so we could hear it and it sounded so peaceful. Only issue was the bathrooms weren't attended the entire 3 days we were there. We never even saw the camp host the whole stay and there was several sites that had a large family reunion going on. There was about 10 little kids that literally screamed from 6:30am until midnig... It was a really nice campground.

Quiet time is 10 but it's obviously not enforced at all. The pros were that it was close to a lot of places we wanted to go like Portland, Freeport, Woodstock, hiking trails. And only 5 minutes from Town Square that has cafes, coffee shop, grocery store, etc.

It's a nice little campground. However, quite general and basic. No frills here. I expected a prettier setting. No complaints. Pretty low key. Quiet.

Great low key campground. While there are no hook ups for RV the sites are far enough apart to give sense of peace and quiet in the mountain woods. Far enough from the road that traffic noise rarely intruder. Nice background noise of the river flowing by and wildlife. Easy access still and close to Waterville valley resort and hiking biking trails.
