This campground/ RV/ cabin rental is right off of silver lake in the state New Hampshire. It's…read morereally quite a cute little place, with a ton of fun stuff to do there and in the area it's located at. It's in Belmont about an hour from Ossipee Lake and about a half an hour from Lake Winnipesaukee. It's a cute set up with a few tenting sites as well as a majority of RV and cabin sites. Definitely a seasonal place we're regulars spend their time. Quiet hours are after 10pm and fire had to be out before midnight. There are privacy fences around the few tent sites. When we forgot our paddles for one of our kayaks they let us use one for free. They had paddle boards and kayak rentals as well. The beach area was as nice as it could be but it did have a lot of floaties and a good amount of guck on the bottom. It wasn't a deep lake and it was filled with river weed and plant like to the surface just after the beach. Definitely don't want to fall in out of the beach area ! The owners hand delivered ice and fire wood whenever we called the front office, among other things. They wouldn't take our tips either. They even had a small store. All in all the place is cute, the owners are nice and when we were in last minute jam they were very accommodating !!

I wish I could give them a 0 but I can't. We have stayed at…read moreSilver Lake for the last 4 years , we would go for a week or a long weekend to visit our family who are seasonal campers. This year was the first year that mangy was horrible as the camp ground was sold to modern America and it use to be a family owned camp ground . No one was ever there to meet us to check us in or there when we had to return the gate key . The first visit my uncle who is handicap the bathroom shower seat broke when he was on it , one of the mgt was there and did nothing but put a sign on the bathroom "use caution shower seat broke " 5 weeks later they kinda fixed it. We started a fire and half the ground from the site went up as the site was full of pine needles and leaves that were never cleaned up. We were asked to move our car from the overflow parking lot when the same lady told us to put it there. The last night of our stay in Oct of 2023 there was domestic with a gun at the entrance and not one person of mgt was there but my husband was with the police. I am so upset with modern America They every went as far as not renewing another family memebers seasonal because she asked very nicely when they thought the shower seat would be fixed (after 4 weeks) she politely stated there are lots of elderly and disabled in the park an she was just wondering .

Went to this campground as a kid growing up with my family every summer until around age 10, but we…read morestopped going because we moved away from the area. I recently was back in town and decided to have a nostalgic stay at the campground. I called the office about a week and a half before I planned on visiting and they only had one site (#21) left. I told the manager Jack, that I'd take it! Initially only planning on visiting Tues thru Thurs, they require 4 nights minimum stay in the summer, with the reservation starting on a Sunday. So I reserved Sun thru Thurs, which was the only way to guarantee the site. My other option was to call that day I planned on arriving and hoping/praying the site was still available. It turned out better this way because I just started my vaca two days earlier. Only way to make a reservation is to call during office hours, 9am to 6pm. Both the check-in and check-out time is at 11am. The campground itself isn't that big, and I would guess there's no more than 10 sites available for weekly rentals, as it's mostly seasonal trailers/campers that occupy the remainder of the sites the whole season the campground is open. They open for the season around May 15th, and close for winter around Oct 15th. Site #21 is nestled between two permanent trailer sites, and sits low on the terrain. This means it will flood a little when it rains, but seems to dry out pretty quickly once the rain stops. It is fairly shaded by the pine trees, so it's was nice & cool during our stay. There is one main bathhouse with a men's bathroom (showers inside), a women's bathroom, and a separate women's shower room. There are also two individual bathrooms located behind the office. The showers are $.25 for 5 minutes of shower time. It's just enough time for a quick shower, but bring a 2nd quarter if you think you need a bit more time. The water is hot, which is nice as I'm used to showering w/ warm to cool water at most campgrounds, and they've added curtains to create a changing area outside each shower (new addition from when I was a kid). If camping in a tent, bring an air mattress or padding to sleep on as the ground is hard, and rocky. Every site has your standard fire ring & picnic table. If you need water for cooking, head up to the bathhouse and use the stainless steel sink outside next to the ladies room. This is also a good place to wash your dishes. Pricing is $35 per site per day for 2 ppl and one vehicle. Additional adults are an extra $10/day, kids (ages 5-17) are an extra $5/day, and parking for extra vehicles is also an extra $5/day. Cash or check only. No pets allowed. Ice sold in the office is cheaper & the bag is bigger than the ones sold up the street at the Shore Road Market (red building at fork in road). The office also sells firewood, and some individual canned soda, bottled water, candy bars & ice cream bars. Be advised there are lots of skunks (which hasn't changed since my childhood). They won't bother you, but be aware at dusk/night where you're walking and make sure to toss your trash in the dumpster each day to help avoid an overnight visit. This campground is located right along the ocean and a river. The main beach area is pretty small at high tide, but becomes a nice big area at low tide. Just bring water shoes because the ground is rocky & covered in shells/crabs at low tide. The tide also changes quick so make sure to keep an eye on your belongings when it's coming in, to make sure they don't get swept out. There's also a smaller beach closer to the bridge, and is accessible via the road just next to the office. People still jump off the bridge at high tide, which they've been doing since I was a kid. If you head towards the ocean side of the campground, where the road loops, there's another pathway that leads to the rocks overlooking the ocean & Nubble Light lighthouse. Just watch your step cause the rocks can get slippery at low tide! Also, make sure to stay off other people's sites. If you don't, they'll be sure to let you know it's 'private property'. A great little campground to stay at, with beautiful ocean views! Would def recommend!

This is a no frills campground, but I have to honestly say that we had a great stay this past…read moreweekend. Pros 1. The campground is very inexpensive, $35 a night with water and electric. 2. Beautiful sites available right on the water. Other site away from the water area available too. 3. SUPER easy check-in. 4. Not a ton of rules/regulations like most campgrounds and there didn't need to be as everyone is very respectful there, like it should be! 5. Dogs allowed as long as they are on a leash at all times. Again, not a lot of red tape, paperwork and rules to bring your dog camping which is so nice! 6. Campground and facilities are well maintained and clean. 7. Great location with lots to do nearby. 8. Wood for campfires available for $4 a bundle. Cons 1. We picked a site #56 because it was on the water and close to one of the bathroom locations listed on their map. While they were certainly close, they were actually porta pottys, not actual bathrooms with running water. Not a huge deal ,but had we know this, we probably would've picked a site closer to one of the real bathrooms with running water. 2. No central location to wash dishes other than your campsite. 3. Some of the sites along the water are very narrow and close together. We could actually hear the couple in the site next to us talking every morning when they woke up and it was not because they were loud. 4. No campground store so if you forgot something, you're going to have to venture out in the surrounding area to find what you need. There is plenty nearby, but it's always nice if you can just get it from the campground store. Your best options are site 61 if you want a nice, large site on the water (not a lot of privacy) or site 65 for a nice, large site, but very private with only one site next to you and the other side is trees. If you like camping in an open field with other campers and don't mind the lack of privacy, they have that option too. Really something for everyone. One last note, showers are 50 cents for 6 minutes. Not a pro or con in my opinion, but certainly worth mentioning so you are prepared when you get there!

I've always had a great experience camping here, and have gone each year for about 5 years. I am 30…read moreyears old, typically camp with uncle and cousin and some other friends that are about 30 years old. We don't care about the pool or wifi, don't care about what kinds of programming for families they may have, or any of the other things camp grounds are pushing these days. We want a somewhat private site, we want to be able to keep our fire going as late as we want (as long as it is under control), and we want to be able to keep our music playing at a reasonable level. We have never been told to put out our fire during quiet hours, or to turn off our music. We can stay up all night having a great time by the fire and playing cards without being broken up, but everyone plays by the same rules meaning it is not a wild place and we have never encountered other sites being too loud for our enjoyment. If you're looking for some old fashioned camping - even in an RV - where you can enjoy being outside with good company all night, this is a great spot. The staff has always been pleasant as well and the rates are comparable to nearby grounds.

We camped here for the first time this week and really enjoyed our stay. We stayed at Meredith…read moreWoods, but Clearwater is right across the street and you have access to the amenities there too. Meredith Woods has bigger, more spaced out lots and is not on the lake. Clearwater has a lake, but the lots are more jammed packed and not as spacious. Clearwater seems to be more family friendly with a playground, lake, etc. Meredith is more laid back and quiet. Meredith also has an indoor pool and hot tub which is nice. The staff at both places were very friendly and both have a nice store. We drove over to Clearwater to spend the day on the beach/lake. We rented kayaks which were very decently priced ($6 single, $12 double for 2 hrs.). The water was very clear and the beach was pretty large. The only downside to our camp site was a fence beside us. It made it feel a bit less woodsy. I also felt they could clean up around the store and grounds a bit. It looks a bit rundown. Same with the docks at Clearwater. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. We would stay here again!

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.

Passaconnaway is a great (relatively) primitive campground right off the Kanc. It's got drinking…read morewater and outhouses, but no showers, sinks, or RV hookups. 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.

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.

The owner is incredibly accommodating and has consistently gone above and beyond to make sure we have what we need to enjoy our time at the campground. The one time there were issues with water and electric, the response time was immediate and the issue was fixed within an hour. The campground itself is small and no-frills. We're a young couple that spend most of our days out on our boat and don't require more than a spot for our camper plus a little yard to have a fire at night, which is exactly what we get at Edge of Woods. Our neighbors are all friendly and we've been able to enjoy many summer nights with friends here. What more can you ask for on the big lake?

We drove around and found a lawn sign in front of one of the trailers. No one was there to great us, so we waited in our car for about 20 minutes. The care taker finally show up, but was more focused on brining in his groceries than helping find a site. I truly mean that we needed to find a site. When we had drove around the campground, we truly thought there were no tent sites. He walked us in behind a row of arborvitae where there was a long strip of open space. The ground had exposed stumps, leaf piles, and garbage. Between the arborvitae and the rock wall there was just enough space for us to set up our tent. There is absolutely no privacy! The strip of open space was considered four separate tent sites. There was no space to do anything after you set your tent up. There was no picnic tables or place to sit and eat. There was one fire pit for the four sites. Even this was a metal pan style fire pit with the bottom falling out. The bathrooms are a converted trailer with a single toilet and one shower. It was disgusting and clearly not cleaned often. There was not toilet paper provided either. This was incredibly deceiving when we booked it. The owner seems like a nice enough guy, but is incredible hard to get a hold of. He does not return calls if you leave a voicemail, claiming that he doesn't have enough time with the three jobs he works. We paid $40 a night. Definitely not worth the price.

Sun River Camp Ground - Barnstead NH…read more Was lucky to get a seasonal site this summer, right up next to the river. Folks there are friendly and always felt safe. Real community feel. The bath house is spotless. The camp grounds are very close to Alton Bay and Wolfeboro. Plenty to do and see. There is entertainment on the weekends. My wife and I are empty nesters so we wanted a place that was quiet and relaxing. My experience was just that. The owners Tom & Donna are wonderful, down to earth good people. Keep in mind this is not one of those RV resorts. Some sites don't have sewer hookup however, they will have someone to help you out with a dump cart. The 30A power was sufficient for all my needs. The 20A circuit was faulty when I first arrived. They sent someone out right away to fix it. It has everything you need to have a great stay. I have a 34' Airstream triaxle and had no issues getting into the site and leveled up. We had a great time and will certainly be back. Thanks Tom & Donna, you guys are rock stars!

This is my personal review of Sun River Campground 743…read moreSuncook Valley Rd Hwy 28 Center Barnstead, NH 03225 Pros- Cheap (buy you get what you pay for) Cons- Nightly rates are not all that cheap at $65/night with only water+electric. Office is never opened, and they don't answer the phones. The rec room (also part of the office) was redone last year to include a new TV and a bunch of old furniture. Would not be bad in a pinch if it were ever open. The front of the campground (where you first drive in) is very run down with old campers. These are all 2-way sites (water/electric only) but have seasonal campers. There are also rentals that are older campers. The electrical in this area is very poor and barely supplies enough to run a camper air conditioner. We would normally have to shut the AC off to run the coffee maker. The Back of the campground, where all the 3-ways sites, is party lane. It is called this because the campers party and play corn hole all night. Not a good situation for young family or older campers that like to sleep at a reasonable time. Bathhouse is very rustic and not always clean. There is a river that runs through the camp but is almost always dried up. There is a small playground near the one bathhouse. This is the only entertainment for children. There is no laundry facilities, pool, or any other means to keep from extreme boredom. In addition, there are a number of homeless people living in the camp ground all year long (yes even in the winter with no running water). Some of these folks have questionable background which forced many of the seasonal campers to installed security cameras on their sites for protection. This was the breaking point for us. It was unacceptable that we had to install our own camera to watch over our belongings while we're not there. When we brought our concerns to the owners they simply blamed each other (the owners and workers there) and didn't do anything to help secure the campground. They actually harassed my wife and I just for bringing our concerns to them. We started seeing RV's and cars broken into and things stolen around the campground. This is why we left Sun River Campground and I DO NOT RECOMMEND this campground to anyone, seasonal or transient. It's not worth the worrying about your stuff being stolen or vandalized. There are many other very nice Camps in the area. Keep looking and Good luck.
