I got bit more than Evander Holyfield's ear, but I didn't get Zika so you won't die, just a little uncomforted. Yeah there were some loud people but after 10pm the owner was going around nicely asking people to keep it down. Chill guy, said his dream was to own a campground and just recently bought it and you can tell he is making constant improvements daily. Bring a grate for the campfire, the one that is provided you can't cook burgers on unless you have a big pan because of the 6 inch gaps between the sections.

Ok, so I'm by NO means a campground person. Over the years I've actively avoided them, opting for…read morestate parks without RV's out of fear of landing in a trailer park instead of a campground full of residents rather than guests. This year I was convinced to join another couple families for their yearly trip to On the Saco Campground and I'm glad I did. It's not a huge place, but it's very well kept and VERY clean. No smelly outhouses or grimy bathrooms, both were maybe a little rustic but in good working order and again, very clean. My site was tree lined giving plenty of privacy, nicely mowed and had a fire ring. I don't know if they employ some kind of mosquito management but for a wooded site about 80ft from water, I didn't get one bite over my 3 night stay. There's a little store with pretty much any essential you may have forgotten for sale, small game room, washer/dryer, and dishwashing area. You can rent tubes and canoes, (I did both) and the staff is super friendly and helpful, (especially when we got caught in the rain and they came to pick us up earlier and at a different location than intended). They had some kind of activity everyday, I saw face painting one afternoon by the office, there was a glow stick parade one night, corn-hole tournament the next, and a movie night the third. A lot of Saco campground are shitshows, (I'm talking about you Fiddlehead!) full of wasted college kids, this place IS NOT THAT. If that's what you want, keep moving. However, if you're looking for a clean, friendly place that is definitely family friendly and a more peaceful but still fun experience I'd recommend On the Saco Family Campground for sure.

The owners Jason and Tori were hands down the nicest campground owners we've ever met. They were helpful, and accommodating. They went above and beyond with everything. It's a small campground and very family friendly. It's clean and has a real camping feel. The staff was also very friendly as well. We will definitely be back, and will highly recommend then to other fellow campers. I love supporting nice family campgrounds like this. Check them out!

The sites are huge, the people are friendly, and they have great facilities. The bathrooms and the showers make the camping experience a pleasure. They also have ice and firewood guys that come around in karts and drop them right off at the campsites for a very nominal charge. The sites are spacious, a little lacking in privacy, but very nicely maintained. On Saturday nights they also have Live music, which can be heard at the campsites closeby, or, if you'd like, you can go right up and enjoy with a crowd of people. Great campsite to enjoy the Saco River, although it's definitely not the best camp site for families; however, it's not loud and crazy like many other Saco campgrounds. It's a great in between option.

The web site is extremely deceiving, and any photos that are posted are very old. There were many…read moreconcerns with our stay at this establishment. I won't list everything because it would be too long, and will just share the most serious. There were only 5 total campsites occupied during our stay (3 seasonal, 2 regular campers) and everyone we spoke to felt disappointed by the expectation from the web site vs. the very different reality. I hope to save someone else from making the mistake of booking this place. 1. There are no ponds, only swamps. See photos. The web site advertises 3 ponds, even referring to one as the "glamping pond." I promise they are swamps that are entirely taken over by invasive milfoil. Swimming is not only prohibited, but would be impossible and unsafe. As a side note, floats are not allowed in the pool (the only place to swim at this campground). 2. The layout is not at all like a campground. It is an open parking lot. There are no trees and no shade. The camp sites are like parking spots (see photos) with no trees or privacy between sites. 3. They advertise a schedule of activities for the kids. There were zero activities the entire week we were here. There is a rec room, which has tables/chairs, a tv, air hockey, and some board games. 4. Safety-there are no staff members that you will find if you need anything. There is a lady who works the front office but she is often not there. I turned on the oven in our cabin and it immediately started smoking due to sticky burned goop that was left by a previous guest, filling the cabin with smoke and setting off the fire alarm. No employee noticed or came. 5. Dog park-another deceiving part of the web site. It is a very small fenced circle with a tiny dog house in it. Be careful, the dog house has a hornets nest in it. 6. Since there is nothing to do at this campground, we found ourselves driving to off site activities daily. Most things are 45 minutes away. There is a nice beach about 15 minutes away. The nearest grocery store is about 15 minutes away (there is no camp store on site, they only sell ice at the office). I was really looking forward to floating in a lovely pond and enjoying a campground with all the amenities that are advertised here. The theme of the week was how we had been "scammed" and "catfished." We did our best to stay positive and make the best of it. My toddler enjoyed the playground and the bouncy house.

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.

She stopped to asked the locals where to find moose and spoke endlessly about the types of trees in NH. No moose were spotted at all even after a desperate mosquito infested walk through the woods (yes, we had bug spray but it didn't make a difference). We were told "plan B" was to drive up and down the same highway at midnight to see if the moose were out. This was a surprise for my husbands birthday, It was a surprise for both of us!

When we reached Lake Ossipee the wind was very strong which made the lake very choppy and her lead was so assuring in the challenge that lay ahead of us - she was awesome and we made it to the other side of the lake without any issues whatsoever.
