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.

We rented the blue and green campers- party of four- and we had everything we needed (including things like electric kettle, cutlery, plates/cups). The beds were so comfortable- got the best sleep we've had in a long time. The bath houses were clean and well kept-as were the main toilets (side note: they provide shampoo/body wash and conditioner which was a huge plus). All of the campers have their own space so you get to enjoy the beautiful view of the river without feeling like you are on top of any one else . We rented kayaks and were able to see beautiful foliage and enjoy good time on the river. Although it went down to 38 degrees at night- we didn't feel cold at all inside campers. Overall- Campground and other campers had immaculate vibes and endless things to do. Quite honestly didn't think businesses like this and people like Joe and Kim existed. 100 percent will be returning!!! Cannot recommend enough for a fall retreat

My family and I had our first visit to Cold Springs this past weekend. I was looking for a fun…read moreweekend excursion for the last weekend prior to the beginning of school for my kids (ages 7 and 10). My son really wanted to go camping this summer, so this fit the bill. We don't own an RV/trailer, and tenting is not something appeals to me, we decided to reserve a cabin. I called only a few days advance and they had one cabin left for Sat-Mon. I was a little worried about some of the comments I read on Yelp, especially around the "Nazi-like rules". I'm happy to admit that none of that was visible during our visit. We arrived around 2pm on Sat and the resort was fairly busy, but not overcrowded. The check-in process was a breeze and we liked how the cabins were very close the pools, rec hall and playground. The cabins are rustic, but with some nice amenities. The dorm sized fridge/freezer was perfect for our 2 night stay and the flatscreen TV with DVD was perfect for the bedtime ritual. The cabin has a queen size bed and 2 sets of twin size bunkbeds. (Warning: the "twin" size is a little misleading, they are really 2/3 the width of a standard twin mattress) The cabin has a picnic bench inside and one outside... along with a fire ring and grate for grilling. We immediately headed for the pools after unpacking. There are 4 pools and 3 hot tubs. One pool and hot tub is for adults only....and they also have a pool and hot tub for kids only. There was a DJ playing great music (mostly classic rock). We sat around the far end of the "sun and play" pool which has basketball nets on opposite sides of the pool. I was a little concerned that they opted to use small basketballs instead of something softer. Of course, I saw plenty of kids get bonked on the head with people's "half court" shot attempts. Probably not the best idea. That night they projected a family movie on a screen next to the pool. The first night we grilled hot dogs on the fire and just relaxed. The cabin does not have AC, so we brought a floor fan with us. While it was pretty hot that day and the cabin was a little stuffy when we went to bed, but by early morning the temp had dropped outside enough that I had to close one of the windows and turn the fan off. The private bathrooms (3 total) were only 40 feet from our cabin and very clean. You need your room key to get into the bathrooms (which was little annoying). I loved how they blasted the radio (classic rock) in each private bathrooms. On Sunday morning, we got breakfast at the snack bar and it was delicious. I got 3 scrambled eggs with toast, home fries and ham steak ($6). We went to pool soon after and at 10am my son and I participated in one of the resort art activities and painted on canvas ($15/pp). The staff person was great and really enjoyed her role working with the guests of the resort. After that we spent the rest of the day at the pool area. The place was much quieter on Sunday as most of the non-seasonal crowd departed that morning, and a majority of the weekenders were there Fri-Sun. The kids got dinner at the snack bar (burger/fries and chix tenders/onion rings) and it was very good. That night we enjoyed another great fire and some TV before bed. Some of our neighbors several cabins down had a little bit of a party, and there was some commotion when 2 intoxicated females almost went to blows after a series of F and S bombs, but luckily it deescalated quickly. My kids and wife were inside watching TV, so they didn't hear any of it. Left early on Monday morning as I had to work. We all had a great time and will most likely be back again next summer as its only 35 mins from our house.

We've had no problem with our hook ups. Everything ran as it should. The campground has a Wi-Fi, but I did incur some buffering, but this campground also offers year-round camping so I'm sure there was a lot of people using it no big deal They also offer propane fills, which is convenient I booked online, which was easy fast and convenient Check-in at the campground was easy, fast convenient staff member was friendly and answered any questions I had I also felt the price for four days three nights was very reasonable. Total cost was $130. As far as if you need to leave the campground to go anywhere, I would say a Walmart Home Depot Lowe's grocery store in Concord area is roughly 25 to 30 minute ride, which is not bad The transient area in which we camped in we camped in site A4 all of the sites are for campers plug-in area. There are tent sites available, but the area we camped in all of the rv sites were covered in stone which to me seems clean and convenient. There is a pond with picnic tables paddle boats in a beachy area. It's April so no need for that but the view is pretty and it seems that that can only be seen from the transient area, not from long-term camping or from the tent area. There was a beautiful loon on the pond, which was often singing. It was nice to wake up to that in the morning and go to bed to it. There is a bathhouse with an adjacent laundry room. The bath house is very well kept again. This is April. It's very fresh wood and seems to me newly renovated. Water was very hot in the sink. i'm not sure about the laundry room. I did not need it, and the door was locked. There is a small playground for the children with some swings down at the beach Each camping area comes with a nice picnic table. They don't seem to be dilapidated in any way shape form. They also come with a fire ring, but there is no grate to cook on. We did walk the whole entire campground, long-term short-term and tent sites I found the tent sites to be nothing. I would be interested in if I had a tent long-term. There was some great sites deep in the woods overall, would I recommend yes, would I come back yes Thank you for a great first trip!

Lorraine Campground at Harold Parker State Forest is one of the best camping locations in Mass.,…read moreespecially if you want to be in the woods and yet be close to civilization. The ~4000 acre forest has a dedicated entrance to the campground with several rangers assigned to it. The sites can be extremely spacious and isolated or be smaller and more social. It really is your choice. Safe swimming, fishing, bike riding, and hiking are abundant. The educational programs are posted, including weekly hikes, bike rides, and fishing lessons (they provide everything for novices). They even have a bonfire on Sat. nights during the camping season. The bathrooms are cleaned daily and are typically in excellent condition, including free showers and hot water. A donation is requested for the mandatory kiln-dried firewood ($5/bundle or $10/3 bundles). All sites have potable water. No sites have electricity. Alcohol is prohibited (and this is posted prominently). People who get caught drinking (typically because they are obnoxious) are asked to leave immediately. The state police barracks is just down the road, so help is nearby if others get rowdy. It is amazing to really be in the woods so close to Boston. Booking a site in advance online is highly recommended; walk-ins/drive-ups are permitted if there is space available. The fees are extremely reasonable ($12/night).

I recently was back in town and decided to have a nostalgic stay at the campground. I called the office about a week and a half before I planned on visiting and they only had one site (#21) left. I told the manager Jack, that I'd take it! Initially only planning on visiting Tues thru Thurs, they require 4 nights minimum stay in the summer, with the reservation starting on a Sunday. So I reserved Sun thru Thurs, which was the only way to guarantee the site. My other option was to call that day I planned on arriving and hoping/praying the site was still available. It turned out better this way because I just started my vaca two days earlier. Only way to make a reservation is to call during office hours, 9am to 6pm. Both the check-in and check-out time is at 11am. The campground itself isn't that big, and I would guess there's no more than 10 sites available for weekly rentals, as it's mostly seasonal trailers/campers that occupy the remainder of the sites the whole season the campground is open. They open for the season around May 15th, and close for winter around Oct 15th. Site #21 is nestled between two permanent trailer sites, and sits low on the terrain. This means it will flood a little when it rains, but seems to dry out pretty quickly once the rain stops. It is fairly shaded by the pine trees, so it's was nice & cool during our stay. There is one main bathhouse with a men's bathroom (showers inside), a women's bathroom, and a separate women's shower room. There are also two individual bathrooms located behind the office. The showers are $.25 for 5 minutes of shower time. It's just enough time for a quick shower, but bring a 2nd quarter if you think you need a bit more time. The water is hot, which is nice as I'm used to showering w/ warm to cool water at most campgrounds, and they've added curtains to create a changing area outside each shower (new addition from when I was a kid). If camping in a tent, bring an air mattress or padding to sleep on as the ground is hard, and rocky. Every site has your standard fire ring & picnic table. If you need water for cooking, head up to the bathhouse and use the stainless steel sink outside next to the ladies room. This is also a good place to wash your dishes. Pricing is $35 per site per day for 2 ppl and one vehicle. Additional adults are an extra $10/day, kids (ages 5-17) are an extra $5/day, and parking for extra vehicles is also an extra $5/day. Cash or check only. No pets allowed. Ice sold in the office is cheaper & the bag is bigger than the ones sold up the street at the Shore Road Market (red building at fork in road). The office also sells firewood, and some individual canned soda, bottled water, candy bars & ice cream bars. Be advised there are lots of skunks (which hasn't changed since my childhood). They won't bother you, but be aware at dusk/night where you're walking and make sure to toss your trash in the dumpster each day to help avoid an overnight visit. This campground is located right along the ocean and a river. The main beach area is pretty small at high tide, but becomes a nice big area at low tide. Just bring water shoes because the ground is rocky & covered in shells/crabs at low tide. The tide also changes quick so make sure to keep an eye on your belongings when it's coming in, to make sure they don't get swept out. There's also a smaller beach closer to the bridge, and is accessible via the road just next to the office. People still jump off the bridge at high tide, which they've been doing since I was a kid. If you head towards the ocean side of the campground, where the road loops, there's another pathway that leads to the rocks overlooking the ocean & Nubble Light lighthouse. Just watch your step cause the rocks can get slippery at low tide! Also, make sure to stay off other people's sites. If you don't, they'll be sure to let you know it's 'private property'. A great little campground to stay at, with beautiful ocean views! Would def recommend!
