Went to this campground as a kid growing up with my family every summer until around age 10, but we…read morestopped going because we moved away from the area. 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!

The beach has a picnic area and trees so you don't have to be in the sun the entire day. The water is shallow so it's great for small kids. They do allow you to bring or buy floats.

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 wife and I stayed at this campground for our first trip to the White Mountains. We were very…read moreimpressed with the different options for each campsite, we chose one closer to the river. It is very easy to get to and is right off the Kancamagus Highway. Full disclaimer: our stay was late June, right before Memorial Day so it we had the place to ourselves. We chose campsite #10, it had plenty of space for our vehicle and made it very easy for load in/out. I believe it was $22/night (bring cash or check for the honor system envelope drop by the entrance of the campground).The campsite is close to the river but not close enough to hear it. However, there was a little trail from our campsite to the water and it took only a minute to get there. If you want a campsite really close to the Swift River, you'll need to get a campsite #21-24. Our campsite had a picnic table and a large fire ring with a grill grate that will lower over the fire. There were even some large tree stumps left there for seating. We didn't have anyone camping around us, but I'd imagine each campsite has a good amount of privacy and space during peak season. Id recommend buying firewood before you arrive at Passaconoway. The year-round campground host sells firewood (which is very convenient) but you can get double your money's worth if you buy them from little wood stands on the side of the road. If you're passing through Lincoln (via 93 exit on Kancamagus) you will see some self serve wood piles by some gas stations.

It has a couple of nicely secluded spots and tends to stay pretty quiet (in part because of the lack of amenities). There's a series of trailheads from the lot just across the street that acess some beautiful hikes, and since it's close to the center of the Kanc you're pretty close to whatever else you want to go see in that neck of the woods. Bring cash because it's an "iron ranger" system (currently $20 per night for one car) and the firewood there is $6 a bundle.

The bathrooms are old and dirty, with walls and doors that clearly need to be scrubbed of built-up grime and feces. The showers are quarter-operated, but unreliable and some without temperature control. The amenities listed online are also misleading. The "playground" is really just a small baby jungle gym, and the area that should be a playground is a complete waste of space. Across the street, they have a so-called swimming beach but it is nothing more than a mosquito-filled pond with a sunken paddle boat. The train is nice and freshly painted, but the swing set is in terrible shape and really needs to be removed before someone gets hurt. The water wheel advertised on the website doesn't work and doesn't look like it has in quite some time. On top of that, there's no WiFi service. With some updates and proper upkeep, this place could be wonderful--but as it stands, it's disappointing compared to what's advertised.

OK there are a few spots for groups and you could probably get an RV and trailer up there, but I have yet to see it. The campsites here all have the basics for tent camping: picnic table, fire pit/grill, peace and quiet. Most of the sites are spaced far apart so that you don't turn your head and make eye contact with a neighbor. Some of them are almost completely isolated, and a few have lean-tos (you're near the Appalachian Trail after all). The fire pits are kind of annoying though, they're basically three-sided iron boxes with sliding grates on top. You'll stay warm and can easily cook on them, but not everyone is going to have a great view of the fire. There is garbage on site, pit toilets, potable water, and lots of hiking nearby. In fact, the hiking is probably one of the biggest draws. You could get a spot here and then hike to one of the other campgrounds in the national forest (those are obviously hike-in only), or just spend a few hours in the forest. We saw lots of moose droppings, but no moose. Maybe your luck will be better than mine. The river is nearby and there are several parks and access points to get to it. I saw quite a few people fly fishing last time I was here. You've got to drive to Maine to get here, and then head about 5 miles along a dirt road to cross back into NH. Stock up in nearby Gorham and bring plenty of firewood. You'll want to stay at least two nights, and you'll definitely want to come back.
