Agree there are better views in other parts of NH but this is ok. Bugs are vicious on certain parts of the trail and better off brining a bug net because someone else posted they don't care if you have bug spray I mean I even walked with can, I would still hike it though I prefer paid for parking on the website it's 5.00$ a person and you can use the whole state park for all day It was full of camps for swimming so if your not a fan of a lot of people maybe this lake is not for you Hope everyone enjoys there time there

Our walk/hike on the Shaw & Fundy Trails were perfect because they are well-trodden, pine-needle…read morecarpeted trails that were good for our sister who has a bad knee & can't handle trails with vertical climb, tree roots &/or rocky faces. The trails passed by marshes, over creeks &, at times, we had to navigate through areas that had some minimal flooding. Signage is practically non-existent, with arrows primarily @ intersections & also kind of confusing where the parking lots are for the trailheads. There is very little blazing on the trees but again, the trail directions are obvious. Not too much indication of wildlife, although, of course, we were in the thick of the trees. The folks at the Visitor Center are super friendly, knowledgeable & helpful.

Arcade could use a major renovation. Broken glass on a few windows, missing glass on one of the doors. Games weren't really anything my kids wanted to play, need to upgrade to the 21st century. We had a nice site next to the water however it was very loud at night due to the ducks obsessively quaking, highway noises and the Walmart distribution center. Some of the seasonal sites very grungy and aged, makes the place look trashy. Some of the sites need a major pressure wash! Sites are very large and level and spaced out nice. Bathrooms were clean, free showers are nice. Plenty of activities for adults and kids. Next time we'll forgo the beach site in leau of a quieter site further away. Overall would come back, owners do their best with what they have.

I am writing as a warming about the treatment of my disabled adult daughter: today and last week at…read morePine Acres. She loved the campground and sent me literally 100s of pictures of the wildlife and activities. She had a friendly connection with Brendan and some other staff; she had a terrible Christmas last year, and she told me how doing a Christmas craft and attending your Christmas party healed that for her. She was happy, and I can't imagine she was an issue other than the crying, She sent me pictures of the " neighborhood" she was moving into for the rest of the season. She was happy. She's been struggling so much since the loss of that dog. I felt like she had found a place to heal, was having fun, and was going to be ok. She mentioned wanting to be friendly ( greeting people is hard for her) and make the park a better place, like picking up others' trash. I was shocked to hear she was asked to leave simply for having an autistic meltdown, a neurological event she will experience for the rest of her life, like a seizure. Even if this made others uncomfortable, she didn't damage any property, threaten anyone, or do anything that could possibly warrant this treatment. It seems that someone was uncomfortable with the intensity of autistic emotions, and she and I now faced devastating consequences, including additional costs from a hotel, having to move the trailer twice, once now and once again in Oct when she had planned to leave, and Ubers. Moreover, I also have a traumatized daughter who is scared to settle anywhere, worried she will be kicked out for crying. This never needed to be handled like this. She tried to advocate for herself and ask for one more night to prepare, but she never refused to leave; she was packing well, advocating. She was also advocating, believing that the people who had been so kind would be reasonable. Then she was retaliated against for that advocacy. The retaliation for the civil rights complaint is incredibly disappointing as the first step in disability discrimination issues is to try to get the parties to resolve. Grace is reasonable, and a resolution could have been reached to address any non-discriminatory concerns; instead, you chose violence. Grace is kind; I realize she is a bit awkward, but that doesn't mean she wanted this mistreatment. Additionally today they gave her a hard time coming to pack up the trailer to have it moved despite her every effort to follow there rules.

It is camping the way it used to be! The sites are spacious and can accommodate RVs of all sizes. There are also tent sites along the Lamprey River. Canoes and kayaks are available to borrow. There is a rec hall with ping pong, pool, puzzles, games, etc. A small store sells ice, firewood, snacks, and ice cream. There are monthly potluck dinners and other activities throughout the summer. The campground is kept neat and clean, and campers have commented on the cleanliness of the bathrooms and showers. Wellington Camping Park is owned by the Wellington family, and it is managed by a woman named Gail. She is a wonderful manager, fair, and well respected. Give this campground a try. You will not be disappointed!

However, prior to quiet hours we were approached by staff stating we were too rowdy and that we were acting "stupid". We have been to several campgrounds over the years and have never been spoken to about being quiet prior to quiet time nor have we ever been insulted and called stupid. The staff could have certainly approached us differently instead of ridiculing us. Two sites down there were people who were louder than we were who did not get spoken to. Not sure why we were targeted. Unfortunately we will not return.
