I just stayed 4 nights at the campground- and I feel it's a great choice for the area…read more What I needed was a basically a base camp where I could have a nice tent camping space that would be used mostly for sleeping (vs. staying at the campground for relaxing, using the river, cooking, etc). My space, #57, was very large for tent camping, had a picnic table and fire pit (which I didn't use). There was plenty of flat, root-free space for me to pitch the tent. I put my tent on flat, hard-packed sand...which is fine but I would recommend a mat or towel for the tent entry way to wipe your feet and leave your shoes on. I used the shower daily. The shower I used was clean, plenty of hot water, good water pressure...and free! The bathroom was bare bones but clean and well maintained. The campground was busy but I didn't feel it was rowdy and certainly wasn't loud. The quiet hours were observed when I was there. But for me, Bearcamp River Campground is about its owners. They take great care of the campground and great care of the people who stay there. Just one example, I was (very) late for my Wed. night check in. I called and was told the parking gate pass would be waiting for me and it would be no problem at all to be late...just make myself at home. I really appreciate their accommodating me. Overall, 5 stars. It's it a great setting, a well maintained facility, run by nice people who genuinely want you to have a good time and will do anything to make sure you do.

This is absolutely insane and heartbreaking. My grandmother was crying. I don't understand how they can treat people like this for no reason. Read the other reviews and see that this is clearly a pattern and not a good place to stay anymore. We are heartbroken and not to mention out of hundreds of dollars we will never get back.

Called me back after leaving a message. - The tent sites are very nice, level, VERY SPACIOUS and PRIVATE! - Close to hiking in the local area - Free hot shower - Value priced Needs improvement: - My one requirement was flush toilets. The tent camping area only has port-a-potties which were clean and OK but I have become a "camping snob" being seasonal at 5 star resort. LOL! It is a 1/2 mile walk round trip to the main bathhouse. They had some issues and was closed Saturday evening and Sunday. There is a single uni-sex bathroom with shared shower near office (but can be a line). NOTE: They do look like they are building something next to the old bathhouse. - The bathrooms over all could use refurbishing. They were clean but just old.

My family has been coming to Tamworth Campground for over 16 years, and this was the first year I…read morewas finally able to join them. I was genuinely excited because I had always heard my family talk about how much they enjoyed coming here every summer. Unfortunately, our experience this weekend was extremely disappointing. From the moment we arrived on Friday, August 14th, we felt unwelcome. When I mentioned the name of the person who organized our reservation, one of the ladies at the office immediately rolled her eyes and gave us the impression that she was already bothered by our presence. Unfortunately, I did not get her name. I do want to recognize the other lady who was working beside her. She was friendly, welcoming, and happy to help us, and I truly appreciated that. Unfortunately, that positive attitude was not consistent with the rest of our experience. As the day went on, it seemed like almost everything our group did became an issue. We were clearly told that quiet hours were from 10 PM to 8 AM, which we completely understood and respected. However, even before 10 PM, we were approached and told to turn things down. I am someone who understands that a campground has rules and that everyone deserves to enjoy their stay, but our music was not excessively loud. It honestly felt as though there had already been a decision that our group was going to be a problem before we were ever given the opportunity to simply enjoy ourselves. For a moment, because we were a large group, I even questioned whether we were being treated differently because of our race or background. However, after reading many of the other reviews, I realized that people from different backgrounds have described similar experiences with the staff. That makes it even more disappointing. It seems that the bigger issue is simply the way some guests are treated. What I don't understand is why anyone working in hospitality would make paying guests feel like they are a bother for being there. People come to a campground to relax, enjoy nature, spend time with their families, and create memories--not to feel like they are being watched or unwelcome the entire time. The saddest part is that Tamworth Campground is actually a beautiful place, and my family has made coming here part of our summer tradition for over 16 years. Unfortunately, after this experience, that tradition will now have to move to another campground. If you're considering staying here, I would recommend reading the reviews carefully and thinking twice before booking. I sincerely hope management takes these complaints seriously and works on the way campers are treated. Rules should absolutely be enforced, but they can be enforced respectfully. Guests should be made to feel welcome, not like their presence is an inconvenience. It's a shame because this campground has so much potential. Better customer service and friendlier staff could make a huge difference. Stay blessed.

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.

It's a peaceful spot to relax, sit in the pool, and just enjoy nature. I'm glad my family and I got to visit during this trip!

When you park there is a kiosk to pay that takes credit cards. At the start of the trail there is a bathroom that is just a big outhouse. It was a little rough so I recommend not using it if you get sick easy. The hike is short and easy to the water. When you get there it is a little tough climbing over rocks and tree roots. We spend time in the water. It was not deep anywhere we were so not really swimming just cooling off or sun tanning on the rocks.
