    Dive Winnipesaukee is not an honest business. Dive Winnipesaukee makes it clear they don't care…read moreabout customer service, honouring their word, or customer safety. I've written 327 reviews and only five businesses had the lack of integrity, unprofessionalism, and ineptitude to "earn" a 1 star review. I do not take giving a one star lightly and provide plenty of opportunities for the business to correct a potential misunderstanding with lots of benefit of doubt before it's obvious "Oh, Dive Winnipesaukee doesn't give a crap about us as customers. This is intentional." Keep reading if you want the lengthy details. I'm not even going to get into the fact none of the employees wore a mask, that's almost an amusing "Oh well, diff'rnt folks diff'rnt strokes!" in the face of the entire experience. My husband called TWO DAYS ahead and made a reservation for 6 single kayaks and one double kayak for a group of 8 adults. We confirmed many times these were available for a half day morning, the employee said we could come in any time that morning, we said we'd try to arrive around 9:30am, and we gave our credit card information as well as our phone number. The total came out to around $254. 9:30am on the day of our reservation, as we were literally parking across the street from Dive Winnipesaukee, my husband gets a call from another employee who told us that they only had one single kayak available. We would have to make do with 3 double kayaks and a PADDLEBOARD instead. She said "I'll give you a discount for the miscommunication, I'll charge you the price of a single kayak for the double kayaks." Okay, not ideal to be told this at the last minute possible, especially since we've already put our credit card information down for our reservation. We decide to move past this and have a good time still. One front desk employee immediately tries to charge us for the original $254. I said "No, we are only getting three double kayaks and a paddleboard, plus we were told on the phone we'd be getting a discount because of the error." A woman came by (I think she is either the manager or owner) and said "I called Heath and told him everything." Heath is my husband and he's standing right next to me, he tries to chime in and she cuts him off and say "Let's get you out there and we'll sort this after." We agree and give them the benefit of believing they are an honest business and will sort this out. Their equipment is in bad condition. The three kayaks we got were completely different and in poor condition, it felt like they were purchased at yard sales. They're not sea kayaks, which they should've been because the lake had very strong currents and lots of boats. The worst part is they said they ran out of life vests and gave one of our friends the cheap kind you put on for a ferry (over the head, no straps to secure to body). My friend insisted this was not acceptable because 1. Kayak looked bad 2. The heavy wind and currents. Keep in mind they open at 9am, we showed up at 9:30am with a *reservation*. They didn't have 8 life vests?! After five minutes of my friend insisting, the guy went to look in their storage and found a real life vest. Why did it have to be such an ordeal, customer safety should've been number one and they should have had 8 life vests ready. Dive Winnipesaukee's business motto: Should've, would've, could've, don't give a crap so didn't. My husband went to the bathroom before we set out and the manager/owner/boss came out immediately with the receipt and asked us to pay. So much for waiting until after like she said. The price on the new bill was over $200, she didn't give us the discount that she promised ten minutes ago over the phone. I said "You didn't give us a discount, you said you'd charge us a single kayak price for the double kayaks because the reservation was messed up. You're just charging us full price for everything." She looked me in the eye and said "The original price was $254, it's $200 now. I gave you a $50 discount. Do you want me to charge you $254?" I was stunned, she's suggesting charging me the price for equipment we didn't get? Sure, charge us $254 and give us the equipment we reserved! It looked like she waited for my husband, whom she spoke with, to not be around. I told her that I wanted to wait and she said "I'm going to run the payment, we can discuss this later." Spoiler alert - there was no later! There was no training provided, when we asked them for places that we could kayak to we were given vague instructions of "There is a public beach, but it's closed. So just kayak around that bend, it's private property, but they might let you on." There's only one public beach, when that is closed then you're surrounded by large McMansion private properties and it gets tiring/boring quick. One of our friends also got stuck with the paddleboard on the rough waters. If you use Dive Winnipesaukee, be prepared to be screwed over.

But it's worth it for the physically fit adventurous type as 'Moose Island' is a 2 minute swim offshore!!! And it used to have a picnic table on it... The tent and cabin sites (most) are nestled in a nice hemlock, pine. oak. maple forest... the Batrooms are nice stained wood ones with ample shower stalls, toilets and a washer & dryer (in bad shape last time I was there, but useful nonetheless!!! The parking is fine; the staff are nice and there is plenty of FREE wood for campfires...Additionally a 5 minute walk South down Roberts cove road takes you to a nice Alton town beach with parking if you drive, but the walk is nice past a cute little frog pond and some beautiful houses... another 5 minute walk will take you to the really cool Roberts Cove Marina with its mahogany boats, swim dock, float & little beach... They conveniently sell old-fashioned soda pop out of a little antique fridge... cheap!!! relatively in these inflationary times; they have a boat launch for access to the Big Lake proper, towns on the lake via boat, a nice secluded walkway/deck along a rocky wall where nice boats are docked for the season and moored out in the lake... It's NOT the best campground, but in Alton where there are few campgrounds it serves the purpose!!! Good Luick!!! And visit Alton's Roberts cove Town beach!!! It's the best!!! (except when overcrowded on hot, busy weekends!!!) Sincerely...Brian Fitzgerald Queens, NYC!!!

There is access to a little mini beach. It is right on the water, but you cant see it or anything. There is no lake views. Still the price is better that ever. You can camp in a tent, RV sites or rent an RV. You can also rent a cabin, which is what we do. The cabin are clean and really cozy. This is great for like a couple or family vacation. I wouldnt bring tons and tons of people thinking your going to be loud all night because, its not like that. Its for a relaxing vacation far away from the hectic city life in Boston. Could be better.
