My favorite campground in New Hampshire! This is the place to get away from RVs and trailers and…read moreloud noises. 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.

Yardage is incorrect (my range finder says so) and I miss the old buckets and towels that I used to clean my clubs but otherwise, it's a great deal with scenic views. Just up/down Route 175 from the Sugar Shack restaurant (a wedge for Bryson). Kids are welcomed and old clubs are available if necessary.

Personally, we have found the owners pretty nice but firm in his rules ie 10pm quiet time. BUT this is why there are rules so ppl know what to expect and should not be surprised when they are enforced. Ok off stool and my comments as a reviewer not relative. Super nice bathrooms and showers. FREE not coin-operated Reasonable rental rates and shuttles. On time! Store has items usually needed. DRY wood. Can get a large bun delivered which saves a lot of walking down and carrying bundles back.. Tent sites on river with water and electricity. GREAT. Free entertainment ..watching crazy bridge jumpers. Right off Rt 93 so great access . Not too far from Lincoln NH ..a cool town. So I give this campground lots of positives. Behave as you should and be respectful of others ...no problems!

The site map roads do not match up to the actual roads and the campground is much smaller than depicted. We got lost. Need road signs. Also the road to the trash on the map has a gate at the end. To reach the trash, you need to drive past the office towards the park entrance to reach it. Would not recommend for large rigs due to the many trees. The roads are for one vehicle only and there are no oneways. Haven't used any facilities.

As it is a long walk up and down stairs and won't be able to go into some caves and out . Whole track of caves takes about an hours length if you go into all the caves.

It's in a secluded quiet area but has lots of activities on site, especially for kids. The bathhouses were immaculate. The camp store will deliver firewood and freshly made to order pizzas to your site! I would recommend booking online rather than over the phone as the cashier taking reservations over the phone has it on speakerphone in the camp store for all to hear. We heard multiple credit card numbers/other sets of personal information very loudly as we were shopping.

The campground has RV sites, cabins, tent sites with and without electricity! We came during the foliage season, but the campground was not fully booked. We had lots of space in our site while we were not too far away from others. The campground had so much to offer: basketball, volleyball, jumping pads, playground, swimming pool and much more. I am sure kids could easily spend a few hours playing at the campground. The main office offered hot food and fire woods during normal business hours. The campground staff came by a few times a day to check onto us. The campground location was very convenient, only about 15-20 minutes drive to Lincoln as well as the Kanc!

The grassy site we had was a nice corner site, lined by trees, and close to the refreshing river with an awesome sandy bank. Bathrooms were rustic, but clean. Hot (free) showers. The office is not open at Baker River - you have to go to Riverbrook to use other amenities like the pool, game room, etc. But we were fine with that. The personable manager (and her adorable Great Danes!) is easily contacted by phone if you have any questions or concerns. One of the best parts was walking to Riverbrook with our tubes (about a 20 minute walk) putting them in the river, and floating back to Baker River. We could have done that all day! We are going back next month! Highly recommend if you like things a little quieter.

This was our first camping trip. We rented their 30ft camper to "try before we buy." I had very low…read moreexpectations, but after staying here for 3 nights, that has changed dramatically. I can't state strongly enough how impressed we are with Neal and Monique. They run a fantastic park! We're planning to come back when we pick up our class A. Tons of space make it very easy to maneuver in the park and everything is spotless clean. The property is well maintained and everything you could need will be delivered to you in what seemed like mere seconds. The small park for the kids was very clean as were the swimming pool and onsite facilities. Proximity to local attractions and great restaurants was also very convenient. Usually I like to offer some constructive critique for improvement, but I honestly can't think of one thing I would change or do differently. The only "problem" I have are my now high expectations of other parks. I feel like we need to make another trip somewhere else to see what the downsides to lesser parks look like! Thanks again Neal and Monique for a great first experience! Also, your breakfast recommendation at the common cafe was a winner! Thanks!

The owners, Neal and Monique, are busy working on it all the time and are sooo great. Just over their little hill is the river where people go tent and pop-up camping and float down the river. Sites are EXTREMELY spacious and perfectly level. Everything is well cared for and the little shop is well stocked. The first day we were here, the lady who was in the office bought my daughter some candy to help her feel as welcome as we did. It seems like a bit of a hidden gem too, because although the weekends seem to fill up pretty well-during the week it isn't busy at all, which is kinda fun for full-timers to have the pool and park to ourselves a bit. :)

We are seasoned RV'ers and have traveled extensively visiting campgrounds all over the East Coast…read more In all the years we have been camping we have NEVER been treated so horribly. The owners are by far the nastiest people I have ever met . Our son owns a very popular business in the same town. He also lives right up the road from the campground. We were visiting for 4 days excited to spend some time with our grandkids. We were hoping to spend a couple of hours on Saturday with the kids by the pool. Something I told the owner when I called to book. He never once mentioned extra fees. He also said he would be happy to put us by the pool. It all started the first night when we had our son, daughter in law and one grandchild for dinner. They wanted to charge my daughter in law $115 to visit. I went up to the office and tried to explain that they would be there only about an hour for dinner. They said for them to visit for 4 days that was the charge. I tried to explain that they would only be having dinner that night and Friday night. The kids were in camp all day so no kids would be with us during the day. They let them in for an hour. The next morning, the husband was out by the pool, so I went over to try and talk to him. I let him know that we would probably not be there very much during the four days or it would only be for dinners. We had hoped to have the kids for a couple hours on Saturday to use the pool so I offered to pay for that. He got very defensive and told me that campers like Me didn't belong in his campground, and that he he was a small local company and they all work together in that town. I replied well, if you all work together then obviously, you don't work with certain businesses because my son owns one of the best businesses in the town. He told me if I didn't like it that he would give me my money back. I went back to the RV and spoke to my husband called my son. My son said mom just get out of there and go to my house. As I was packing up to leave, he came along with his golf cart, and his wife and I had my back to him and I turned and told him we were leaving. He had my check in his hand and gave it back to me. And told me to get out and then the wife got out and started using the F word She was so nasty that we couldn't wait to get out of there since then we've read a lot of negative reviews similar to our experience. All I can say is if you want to go camping in Thornton, New Hampshire don't go to Goose Hollow campground. If you're an outsider you will be treated like trash . We have camped many times at Branch Brook campground in Campton New Hampshire, which is right down the street. We made a big mistake choosing GOOSE HOLLOW this time. The kicker is that the pamphlet that they give you when you arrive with the map it says on the pamphlet if you have overnight guests you're allowed four adults and two children total. The extra adults would pay $10 apiece and the children would pay five dollars apiece but that was for OVERNIGHT only. Not at any time did we plan to have guests overnight. Also, we booked (and paid for) a site which would've included two adults and two children. I explained to them that we were only two adults, and if we did have the grandkids there, they would be the two children. He told me those were OLD rules. BEWARE If I could give this 0 stars I would.
