Our rental (6 bed RV, "Callie") was super comfy with everything we needed (including good coffee!) The bathrooms and shower building were clean, modern and comfortable.

Other campers on site during our stay tell us they got *lots* (according to them) of text messages…read morefrom the campground on a regular basis. Everything from how to check-in to getting their RV tank pumped (no hook up here, and a fee for each pump) to what is happening in the park. We got none of that. If you don't get texts, check in with them. We arrived during office hours and the door was locked. I texted the number on the door as a sign instructed if the office was unoccupied. No response. After a few minutes someone showed up and said our check-in paperwork was hanging on a hook by the door. Maybe that would have been in our 'check-in' text if we had got one? He also mentioned the RV we were renting had it's tanks pumped that day and they would be pumped again during our stay. What he didn't say is you have to text them to schedule that. That may also have been a text we did not get. In any event, we are not sure if the tanks were pumped because we used their public showers, not the one in the camper. I tried to get hot water for washing dishes and the like, but it was cold. Maybe there is a switch I needed to throw? No instructions. We also needed instructions on how to use the heat. They were great about sorting that out for us. Definitely made sure we had the info we needed. Wish there was some sort of manual inside the camper as we are not camper owners and have zero idea on how things work. Kitchen is minimally stocked. Bring everything you will want to cook and clean. Sheets and towels provided. The site was a good size. The camper is parked alongside the road, I suspect to make pumping easier, creating a large open area between camper and river. There was a picnic table and a fire pit. The RV we rented was near the far end of the campground, about as far away from the public restrooms and shower as we could get. There is a single public toilet about half way to the bathhouse near the yurts so that was a closer 'pit stop' in the evenings. We did use the in-camper toilet, but not the shower, due to it's 35gal tank and cold water. They offer a playground, pool, community fire pit, sauna and hot tubs. They rent a variety of wooden structures, campers, yurts and tents as well as RV and tent sites. Some sites have electric hook up. Site sizes vary. For a flat fee you can rent kayaks, canoes and tubes during your entire stay (with life vests). There are two small beaches. Fishing is allowed from river side campsites. Kids are allowed to ride their bikes around the campground. Roads are dirt and gravel and in good condition. They appear to be adding sites to the campground as they were cutting down trees and using large, dirt moving machinery during the week days of our Autumn stay. There are two stalls in the restrooms and three unisex showers in the bathhouse. The showers and changing areas are small and clean. Hooks are on the walls so be sure you bring hanging bags for your items as there is no shelf (or mirror) and although there is a wooden step to keep you above the floor level, the floor area gets too wet in there (no matter how hard you try to keep the curtain in the stall) to leave anything other than shoes on the floor. In shower corner shelves for your personal care items are available as well as wall mounted personal care items they provide. Bring your own towels. The toilet stalls look newer built and there are gaps between the boards. There is one sink with paper towels and stalls have plenty of toilet tissue. The building is not heated. A pump station is nearby if you choose to dump your own RV tanks. It's close to town where you can get coffee (The Vintage cup, so cute), groceries (Sully's) and fuel (Irving). Also restaurants and shops nearby if you are looking for retail therapy. We drove up toward Concord to take in some sights. The campground is close enough to Deerfield Fairgrounds, Lake Winnisquam trail, and Bear Brook state park among others. The entrance 'sneaks up' on you: all of a sudden the trees open up and there is the turn! Public parking is near the office. During our Autumn stay the office was not open. Firewood to purchase is on the porch. Just text them how many bundles to charge, which site. They will even deliver it during regular business hours if you can't lug the wood to your site, just ask. A gate code is needed to access the campground. Watch those speed humps. We got a weird 'vibe' at this campground. Not to be woo-woo. That's just how it felt to us and the best way I can describe it. Take that as you will. The new owners are making lots of updates and seem very laid back and enthusiastic. Happy adventuring.
