We are looking for a seasonal site in this area an decided to check this one out. When we got there…read morewe were rudely greeted when we went to the office and they told us we can not checkout the campground even with a staff member. You would not buy shoes before you see what they look like or if they fit. We're in our 40s with a clean appearance driving a brand new truck and just looking to take a quick walk around to see if we would like the campground before we made the decision where we would like to have our seasonal.

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.

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!

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.

Lorraine Campground at Harold Parker State Forest is one of the best camping locations in Mass.,…read moreespecially if you want to be in the woods and yet be close to civilization. The ~4000 acre forest has a dedicated entrance to the campground with several rangers assigned to it. The sites can be extremely spacious and isolated or be smaller and more social. It really is your choice. Safe swimming, fishing, bike riding, and hiking are abundant. The educational programs are posted, including weekly hikes, bike rides, and fishing lessons (they provide everything for novices). They even have a bonfire on Sat. nights during the camping season. The bathrooms are cleaned daily and are typically in excellent condition, including free showers and hot water. A donation is requested for the mandatory kiln-dried firewood ($5/bundle or $10/3 bundles). All sites have potable water. No sites have electricity. Alcohol is prohibited (and this is posted prominently). People who get caught drinking (typically because they are obnoxious) are asked to leave immediately. The state police barracks is just down the road, so help is nearby if others get rowdy. It is amazing to really be in the woods so close to Boston. Booking a site in advance online is highly recommended; walk-ins/drive-ups are permitted if there is space available. The fees are extremely reasonable ($12/night).

What a hidden gem! The folks running this campground are…read moresuper friendly and very knowledgeable about the surrounding area. Lots of sites situated all around the side of a large hill. The sites range from level to very uneven. The main roads are paved and not terribly steep. Some of the sites are tight quarters to your neighbor others seem to have a bit more space. Lots of shade! Rustic shower buildings that are coin operated at 25¢ for 5-6 minutes. 50¢ was plenty of time. Dish wash stations are located at these buildings which is nice for tent campers. Internet can be good if you pay 3$ a day for a premium code. This is good for people who work remote. Pro tip for campgrounds. Install premium, premium internet for traveling professionals. We will pay for a good connection. Beautiful campground. We would definitely stay here again, we recommend it over a KOA any day.

I have to say FIVE STARS! for this place to counter the hate I see in some reviews with the love I…read morehave for it. Yes, it is a ramshackle place, it is rustic, but it is also a public service to have some real estate available for camping in such a treasured area. I give extra stars here for a friendly staff, the amazing views from the cliffs at the north end of the campground, the variety of sites--some may not be to your liking, but they are flexible enough to let you move to where it works best for you. Some things are just adequate, like the showers, and the narrow road from the mainland, but the camp store is good, the giant rock formations for building a campfire are awesome, and you are down the street from Wingaersheek! Worth mentioning--you can call them on the phone, and a person picks up!
