Arrived without reservations in mid October and found an exceptional $30 site near the shower building. Firewood was available for $8/bundle, but we were encouraged to pick up fallen sticks and branches never needing to purchase a bundle. Showers are $2.50 for a 5 minute hot shower.

Arrived without reservations in mid October and found an exceptional $30 site near the shower building. Firewood was available for $8/bundle, but we were encouraged to pick up fallen sticks and branches never needing to purchase a bundle. Showers are $2.50 for a 5 minute hot shower. The friendly camp host has change if you don't come prepared! The showers and bathrooms were well maintained and clean. The fall colors were beautiful during the day and the stars lit up the night sky. So many hiking opportunities nearby and off the beaten path enough to get away from the crowds on the Kancamagus Highway. Only downside is the road noise overnight, but it's not bad enough to downgrade the 5 star review.

Plenty of camp sites with plenty of room. Bathrooms were large enough with sinks and flush toilets. Bring quarters for the shower or ask the host to change your bills to quarters.

Solid campground, the sites are nice and wooded with ample privacy between sites, several are handicap accessible sites. Clean, functional bathrooms. It's right off the state highway so you can hear the road noise, it's not loud so never bothered us, but if you're looking for a more immersive nature experience that would be the only drawback in my opinion. Otherwise, this place was great.

The camp hosts were very friendly. The bathrooms and showers were clean. The only complaint that I have is that you pay $30 for a site with no amenities and still have to pay for a shower.

This is a very good campground. I highly recommend it. The place is easy to find and close to stores. The amenities are clean and host is very friendly. Don’t listen to the bad reviews here, obviously they can’t follow basic instructions.
