I would like to share my experience this past weekend at Winding River in Exeter NH. My family of 3…read moreStayed at tent site 523 in the Oak area. We also had family at 553 and 554 and Cabin 2. About site 523: I clearly had one of the largest and most private tent sites. It was set back with a long driveway tucked between 522 and 524. It's a very steep drop into the river making most sites a little nerve wracking with a little one. Online it said water available but there wasn't a hookup on my site. It looked like there may have been one to share on the road, but I didn't end up needing to figure that out. Tent sites 522 and 524: Along with most of the tent sites these sites were very close to each other, much smaller and closer to the road. I wished my family members had gotten 552 and 553 as they blended together nicely if you are tenting in side by side spaces. The ground was very rocky making staking tents down difficult. They were right next to the bathroom which was convenient but loud. Ventilation in the bathroom was not good so the doors were propped open much of the time and loud hand dryers. Shower: - This is the smaller of the two bathrooms in the campground. There are 2 showers there. Each with a single insufficient curtain and no hooks on the wall or bench to place things down. Water was hot enough, pressure was ok if you set it to the high power massage-like setting. - The showers in other bathroom (near the town center area) had a door and two curtains. Some had hooks (some of which were broken). I almost tripped going in and out of these bathroom stalls because they are raised up but there is no marking on the ground to indicate that. Cabin 2: Ac worked well. There was a good sized bed downstairs, smaller beds in two lofts. I was surprised the couch didn't pull out. Fridge and all dishes were nice and clean. All the cabins seem to have different back porch setups. This porch was smaller than C1. There was a propane grill that smelled rancid with sooo much caked on The burners. The location of the ceiling fan under the other lights in the ceiling gave them a flashing effect that really bothered me. Pros: - Lower price compared to other campgrounds (but I don't feel like I got everything advertised on the website) - Two playgrounds, both were nice. - Water slide was fun - We arrived Thursday at the gate and were told how to get to our site, to set up and then come over to the office which was nice. Cons: - The river is very low and yucky so none of the boating or fishing advertised was possible. likely causing the massive amount of mosquitos. - The whole arcade building was was "out of order" - The laundry room had two washers (one was broken) and two dryers 2.50 each per load. Not sufficient for a campground this size (especially when people leave their clothes in the machine for 30 mins after they're done!) - Camp store was poorly stocked (multiple empty coolers). - Ice $3 per SMALL bag. - Wood $10 per bundle and rules say you can't bring from off-site. I saw people with huge metal bins of wood but was never offered that option when I payed for multiple bundles. - Camp store closes at 3 on Sunday and doesn't open until 11 am during the week (which is also checkout). This made it a little confusing when I wanted to return the golf cart. They have a small area with icecream that is scooped and maybe a kitchen. I never saw it open but I think the sign said open morning to 12 and then again in the evening. - The pool was green and cloudy on day 3. I called the office and was told they had just shocked it and that was a result of the copper. I am not informed enough on pool safety so I opted out of swimming on the hottest day of our stay. My son was bummed. - Planned activities were only scheduled for Friday and Saturday evening. CORRECTION: activities were scheduled starting at 10 AM Saturday. During adult kareoke there were plenty of kids and really poor wifi (wasting so much time between songs). And just to add: - Staff I encountered was friendly enough, but It would be nice if they wore shirts to identify themselves. - Golf cart was great, but cost more than the site per night. - Pedal go-carts were available for rent (I didn't ask a price).

Staff was friendly, but cleanliness needs major improvement…read more Everyone I interacted with was very nice, which I appreciated. However, what truly determines whether I'd return to a place is its cleanliness, and unfortunately, this is where the site fell short. The bathrooms were dirty and felt neglected something that should really be addressed on a daily basis. Additionally, the laundry area was moldy, unkept, and with only one working dryer for the entire park, it made doing laundry a challenge. Overall, it's okay for a short stay, but I wouldn't return unless the cleanliness standards were raised.

Heated pool (we were there in the off season) situated right on the river, (winding around the park). A little road noise as its close to the main road but that was no big issue at all.

Will definitely stay here next year during summer and tube or kayak down the river. Also, we had a walk around the river section that has 4 beautiful tent sites along a creek that joins into the river. Beautiful for those tenters.

I told them to forget it and forget me as a repeat customer. 47 years in this house with the tank being pumped multiple times and never did any technician have difficulty locating the access cover. Apparently being bought out by Wind River means making money by any means they can scam their customers.

My nephews (8 & 10) & I signed up for the tubing trip this morning. When they dropped us off, we…read morewere told that it would be best if we walked out a ways to the second cove in order to get the best current out into the water. We did that, with our cooler raft in tow. However, i ended up pushing my nephews in their tubes for about a half mile (past the second cove) before we were able to get going. This took about an hour and a half. About 3/4 the way through our time on the water, we heard thunder. I realized they hadn't covered what to do in the case of bad weather in the briefing. So thankfully I was able to call the company from my tube & they advised us to get out of the water if we heard thunder & wait 15 min before getting back in. We heard thunder in and off for about 45 min so stayed out of the water on some rocks while we waited. I felt like we were bothering the company when they called & they didn't seem at all concerned, telling me it was a passing shower. After we returned to the water, we saw some lightening so I tried getting us over to shore. The water was getting choppy & we weren't going anywhere so I got out of my tube & pulled all of us to shore. We built a small shelter using our tubes & tried to stay dry but at this point, it was pouring. I called the company again & they said there was nothing they could do & couldn't come pick us up based on our location. I checked my GPS & we were .6 miles away from our stopping location. The company told us to start walking back along the shore. We did that and along the way my nephew slipped on the rocks because it was still pouring. Finally, when we made it back, we had to drag all the gear up the hill (which was mentioned during the briefing but we weren't expecting to do this in the pouring rain. When we got back, I expressed my disappointment that they'd send anyone out with conditions like that expected as I truly felt our lives were in danger. The woman said no one was blaming anyone and I corrected her. Yes, I blame the company for putting our lives in danger. She explained that they had no idea about the weather conditions and that this system just popped up out of nowhere. I can understand that but at no point did anyone offer to come & help us. They could have easily walked from where they were & helped us walk back. I would not recommend this company due to the lack of safety measures & how isolated we felt when conditions got bad.

We keep to ourselves and aren't (usually) crazy partiers, so we decided to come after the season died down on a tuesday/wednesday. We asked for a more secluded site and got put on the most crowded beach. We found that a little strange, but ended up finding a nice somewhat secluded spot for the group of us to set up. The location overall is great, thats where the stars are coming from. Other than that it's mostly negatives from me. We all agreed that their bracelet policy was a bit much. Once you check in you aren't allowed to take off your bracelet until you check out. Seems like a bit of a hastle to be driving around town with neon bracelets on, to me that's just screaming "pull me over I'm a tourist!" The beach was scattered with trash and broken glass. We found a huge chunk of glass maybe half a bottle in the river that easily could have lacerated someone's foot. We also came a few days after the weekend, and at the end of the season so you would think that the beach would be at least somewhat scanned for trash, but no. We've been on the saco quite a few times and have never seen a section dirtier than this camp. They lock their gate at night around 9pm which definitely poses a safety concern. What happens if you step on glass and need stitches, or someone has some type of medical emergency during the night and you can't get out because the gate is locked? Overall it's not a place to bring kids. They have idiotic policies (bracelets, the gate) yet they don't have a simple "no glass bottles on the beach" policy. Everyone who lives anywhere near the coast knows it's not exactly kosher to bring glass bottles on a beach, and if you do everyone looks at you like you're a D-head. Put in your research, know what you're getting yourself into, don't bring kids (or glass bottles!) and you should have at least an okay time.

Great campground…read more.. We parked our RV next to the river and enjoyed the sounds of the water. The place is all dirt, but not too bad with no rain. I can imagine that it could get nasty.
