We were very excited about our first reservation here. We had heard great things. Unfortunately I was diagnosed with pneumonia the week leading up to our trip, so we had to cancel. I figured we wouldn't get a refund. I understand with such short notice. I still decided to provide the courtesy of informing them we wouldn't be there. I did ask however, if someone picked up our spot would we get a refund? The answer was no. I asked, "so you'll make double?" This was confirmed. That is disappointing to me and a poor example of customer service. Like I said I understand not being refunded for the late cancellation, but it doesn't feel right that they would profit off of an unforeseen hardship by not offering anything in case the spot got picked up. Not sure I'll want to give them my business in the future. Beware- might be best to book this one very close to the dates you'd like to use it. read more

This was our second stay at Seven Maples Campground in Hancock, NH! We cannot praise the owners enough for their awesome hospitality and friendliness! Our young grandson got hurt near the pool area & Scott was a tremendous help in calming him (& me) down and applying First Aide to him! He was so reassuring and had such a calming presence! We will definitely be making more Reservations in the future! Thank you for creating a fun, relaxing and exceptionally safe camping environment! Peter & Diane read more

Worst camping trip ever!!! I've been camping for over 20 years visiting campgrounds throughout the United States. This is hands-down, the worst one I've ever been to. We check into our cabin half the windows are missing blinds, no privacy. Our cabin is located directly under the sun, no trees for shade. The inside temperature of our cabin reached into the 100s with no air-conditioning. The cabin was filthy and disgusting dog hair everywhere even in the fridge. Muffin crumbs were all over the counters upon arrival. Ants crawling all over everything. We woke up with them on us! Our campground neighbors were very unfriendly. A lot of the guests are permanent residents. It's more like a trailer park than a Campground. There's free Wi-Fi, but it doesn't even work. We had Verizon and couldn't get a signal the whole weekend. They advertise amenities like canoeing, but it's in a swamp not a lake. The pool doesn't open till 10 AM, most campgrounds are much earlier. We came during a weekend when there was a family retreat over 100 of them spread out between 10 campsites, feet away from us, blasting their music from 10 AM to 10 PM. A lot of them teenagers causing ruckus at the early 2 AM hour. The two stall bathroom constantly had a wait. Why would you think over 100 people could accommodate two bathroom stalls!?! I would not recommend this place it's dirty and not peaceful. We ended up leaving early. Such a waste of money, worst campground ever! read more

First off, a quick warning: it's really difficult to communicate with any campground to reserve a site for Memorial Day weekend, before the actual weekend. Lots of voice mails. But that has nothing to do with this review, because all campgrounds seemed to be like that. The best part of our trip was our hike up the close-by Mt. Monadnock (maybe a 20-min. drive). But, being from Boston, that could have been a day trip. The thing about Seven Maples is, it's kind of cliquey. All of the RV folks play guitar and sing Kumbaya around a massive campfire all night, and they all say "hi" to each other in passing, and it's very friendly in their parking lot...err, group of sites. Then you get to where we were placed, in the tent-only area. The map online suggested that we would be pretty secluded, which was nice. Except, the trees were pretty thin and there was an access road (?) down the hill right outside our site. And the people in this area are afraid of each other, and do not say "hi" in passing. And the water spigot for our area was attached to a tree at someone else's site, and we're pretty sure that family thought it was their personal spigot. A little tough to do the dishes when you've got a grown pair of adults that look back at you every 30 seconds, like you're infringing on their space. We were assigned to a site on top of a hill. The site was a normal size, but there was a big, sharp metal thing coming out of the ground that made it impossible to assemble the tent on level ground anywhere on the site (we affectionately called this unknown metal object "the hatch," for any of you "Lost" fans out there). And then there's the fire ring, which we weren't really fans of...it kind of limited what we could do. The thing about being on top of a (small) hill full of trees is that it's at least 10 degrees colder than anywhere else at the camp. When taking the (fairly long) trek to the bathroom, we could feel the temperature difference. We had asked beforehand if being on top of the hill would make a difference with regards to wind or temperature and were told that it wasn't any different. However, that was not the case. Primarily for this reason, we left a night early...which wasn't cool, because, being that you pay up upon arrival, we lost a night's fare. The showers left a bit to be desired, too. I know that, at a campground, space is limited. So it is helpful that they have changing rooms separate from the showers. And although there are typically just two showers per area, we never had a problem getting into one. And, we were told upon arrival that the bathrooms are free now, whereas before one needed to pay. But, the floors were scary. The were a bit more pliable than a floor should be, I think. I wanted my mommy. Wait no, not in the shower...oh, nevermind. Finally, the campground itself is a little confusing. With nearly all of the paths being one-way, and the signage not being so great insomuch as directing you OUT of the campground, it wasn't easy to leave when we wanted to. Oh, and with the local Stop & Shop closing, the only decent grocery store is a good 15-20 min. drive away. So if that's a problem for you, then stock up on absolutely everything you need beforehand. They do have the basics at the camp store: firewood, Smores supplies, um firewood.... The staff isn't entirely friendly, though there was the one guy who gave us good directions to get somewhere. The main reasons I give this review two stars instead of one: (1) the campground is clean, (2) it seems like it would be good for families and (3) the directions guy was helpful. Aside from those factors, in retrospect (with 20/20 hindsight), I wish we had been more patient and waited for the other campground to get back to us before deciding on this one. read more

I took my family to Seven Maples this weekend for their Lobster and Clam Bake. They started to impress me from the time I called to make my reservation. All of the staff were extremely nice and helpful. My family and I are just starting to get into camping, so we're now in the process of discovering which camp grounds to visit. Seven Maples is one we will definitely come back too. For context, we're camping in a pop-up trailer and we have two boys ages 3 and 4. We were also meeting up with a group of other campers. We were located at site S11. Lay-out: The entire camp ground felt fairly small, though in a good way. It was a short walk for anywhere we needed to go, and had no problem with my young boys walking anywhere with me. The camp sites where we were felt very open. There are few trees between the sites and there is a central area with a nice communal fire ring. This openness was also great for us because our boys could run around a bit more and we could still keep eyes on them. Features: Seven Maples has the usual amenities, such as a well stocked store, bath houses, and a playground. For us, the highlights were: They have a small pond that is stocked with trout and only allows for catch and release. The great part about this is that it means you don't need a NH fishing license. My boys had a wonderful time practicing their casting while I fished. The playground was large and had new equipment. After some other camp grounds I've seen, I'm always worried that the playground will be some metal and wood contraption that I wouldn't let my kids near. This playground had several large activity areas and many swings, so my boys had a great time here. The game room has a nice selection, including billiards, air hockey, skeeball, darts, pinball, and many arcade games. They also have a swimming pool that is a little on the smaller side, though it is heated. I had expected to be in there quite a bit with my boys, but we found plenty of other things to do, so it wasn't even necessary. Up-keep: The area is clean and well maintained. They have two bath houses, and the one located toward the center of the camp ground appears to be completely new or remodeled. It's very clean and well lit, and ideally located for where we were. Additionally, the play ground appeared to be very new and was in great condition. While I didn't get in the pool, I did go over and test the water. It was a good temperature even on a cooler day and appeared very clean. Overall: We stayed for 2 nights and had an amazing time, despite a little rain. We'll definitely be back again. read more

The owners really take it upon themselves to make sure this campground is always in perfect condition and the clientele here always are kind.Excellent Campground. The Internet is very good for checking your email here and we're here camping not here surf the Internet. The Bathrooms are kept in mint condition. Never have we ever seen the bathrooms dirty. We highly recommend it here. read more

This is definitely a gem in the beautiful landscape of NH! I was impressed from the moment we pulled in, to check in. They had a gorgeous swimming area, with splash park and 2 enclosed water slides. The office and surrounding area was well kept and had an additional pool there. The security gate made you feel at ease (not that one would be concerned, just added that extra touch!). Our site (49) was one of the best on the grounds. We were on a corner lot, plenty of room, horseshoe pits directly behind us as well as a gorgeous walking/bike path. Overall, the campground was amazing. The kids all seemed to be having fun, but not at the expense of others (we do not have children). The staff was friendly and helpful, and everything was clean and comfortable. My only suggestion would be that the bath houses could use a refresh. But at the end of the day, I'm not spending my weekend in there anyhow. Just a quick rinse and shave, and back out for the fun. We will absolutely camp there again and would recommend Seven Maples to any and everyone. read more

The new owners are absolutely terrible! We have been camping as seasonals here for almost 25 years. We've definitely seen this place grow from the ground up. We figured the $1000 increase for the year was a bit much but we would be able to afford it. The previous owners wouldn't charge a fee to keep our campers here for the winter. Now they charge to keep our campers and decorations on our site. These new owners are just so money hungry and don't care about the people who come and visit their campground. Although throughout this we decided we would stay another year and paid our deposit. They informed up that we would have to leave and gave us 1 week to get everything out. I don't know about you but after 20 plus years stuff definitely accumulates. Not only have they done this to us but to A LOT of the seasonals. Who have been here for just as long as we have. I understand the changes we were bound to have but these were ridiculous!! We will not be doing business with this company again. This company says they're all about family yet are splitting up this one! read more

We really enjoyed 7 Maples. We asked for a quiet,shaded site and got just that. The site was a good size for my large tent and plenty of room for my motorcycle and trailer. The owners are nice and helpful. They give us information of the area and stop by the site to see how we were doing. The grounds are well care for. The pool was small but heated. And a new pool is being built. There's two bath houses, one newer and the other older but clean. We use the older one with no issues. I'm sure we'll return for another weekend. read more

We spent the weekend in Cabin 19....beautiful and cozy and just loved it. Beautiful and private area....can't wait to return next June. Carrie & Scott are great owners! Cathy & Dennis Buckley read more

Terrible place, owners are very hard to deal with. Wifi is terrible and not a trash can in the place except for the bathrooms.

Just returned from our 18th year of camping at Seven Maples. Every year we host a family reunion with more than 50 people attending. Year after year we see significant improvements to the campground including a path to the pond for kayaking, a totally revamped playground, additional secluded campsites and the BEST thing... new bathrooms a couple of years ago by the Safari area! The owners are friendly and easy to work with. Very down-to-earth folks that seem to be in touch with what campers enjoy. A clean pool, reasonable rates, an arcade for the kids, and a nicely stocked store are part of the charm. If you're looking for a campground that is full of the latest entertainment, this probably isn't your place. But if you're looking for a simple place that's not over crowded with some regular people that love the outdoors, you should be happy here. read more

first time here and although we camp a lot we seldom camp at organized camp grounds....everyone very friendly and helpful.....entrance area very nice.....pools are excellent including the twin tube waterslide that made me wish i weighed less than 150, and the kids certainly enjoyed them and the pools.....2 rest rooms, the one near us was badly in need of some tlc...the sites are close together in many areas and of course there are a lot of permanent sites....this is a lovely area of nh and hancock has several interesting places to eat and enjoy as does nearby peterboro... read more

We have stayed at Seven Maples twice. First time was unplanned as we were on the way home from a CT camping trip and had had lots of bad luck on that trip, so were way over our planned driving time. We called the first campground nearest us from the road. The owners couldn't have been nicer and more accommodating. Seeing my husband was beyond exhausted, the man came up in his golf cart and backed the camper for us. The second time was planned because we liked it so much before. Stayed 4 days and found it to be a great campground that suited us to a T. read more

I like seven maples it was a verry nice campground on july 29,30 2011 at our men's camping Living Word Outreach hope to return next year

This is a great campground for group camping. The group area has space for lots of RVs and/or tents, and has a huge fire pit that the whole group can sit around together. We also set up some screen houses and a kitchen area near the fire pit, making it a common gathering area for the week. The area is set away from most of the other camp sites, so we didn't have to worry much about our noise level. The bath house near the group area has been recently renovated, and has plenty of hot water. There is a comfortable lodge that we have used on occasion when the weather was lousy, big enough to seat our whole group. The pool and pond are mediocre, but there is easy access to a beautiful lake in town. There is also a town field just up the street from the campground with tennis courts and a ball field. read more

We spent five wonderful days at Seven a Maples. This was our second time camping there. Saturday night was the Thanksgiving meal. The turkey and all of the fixings were awesome. There were over one hundred people in attendance for it and they had food enough to go back for thirds if you wanted to. We are hoping that next year we can spend a month there. We have no problem fitting our 32 foot motor home on the spots that we have been assigned. Thank you for a wonderful stay. Jack and Ann Lachapelle read more

The campground is pretty small. Much smaller than the map describes. Most of the people in the camp are there in RV's snd there is not much space in the campground for people who are using a tent. One of the bathrooms was nice, while the other one by the pool was disgusting. It looked like it was never cleaned. It was also poorly lit. The "heated pool" was not heated at all. It was almost as cold as the regular pool which was as cold as ice. The only good thing about the pools was that the water slides were really cool and enjoyable. On the 8th of August we attended the "all you can eat beef dinner." We paid $19 for a ticket and in no way was it all you can eat. There was not even enough for more than half of the people to go up for seconds. The food was good but it was not worth the nineteen dollars that we paid. There were no drinks provided, including the iced tea that was advertised. When the owner was asked about the iced tea he told us "oh we don't have that." When someone asked about why it was on the list he rudely said "yeah I know that. I saw that." On that note, the owner was very rude. He came over to our site an hour before quit hours to yell at us to quiet down. He gave us dirty looks and stared at us whenever we were near him, making us very uncomfortable our whole visit. This was not a very enjoyable trip. read more

I belong to a camping group and we always return year after year for multiple events and get the group area. Super nice and extremely accomodating staff. Wonderful service. Beautiful sites and every event we have attended runs smoothly. A gem! read more

We went to Seven Maples for Memorial Day Weekend. The weather was cold and rainy so we didn't use the pool, but it is heated. My son liked the arcade. The reason I chose one star was because of the other campers. They were horrible. The kids were rude and behaved like animals. Kids were running around pretending to kill each other and a group of teenagers decided that it was acceptable to disrupt our game of basketball and throw a basketball at my head. I was not comfortable letting my son play on his own as we do at other campgrounds. I would not return. read more

We have a group of between 8 - 10 families that have been camping together every Columbus Day Weekend at this campground for the past 5 plus years. Well this year, when we went to check out and reserve the same spots we've been in for the previous years, they informed us they gave our sites away! They said some other group asked for them for an event next year, so they gave them to them. Of course, they said they would find other sites for us (only after going to the second owner as the first owner we spoke to simply said "sorry".) However, that is NOT how you treat returning, valued guests. Did they even value our business? Our group paid over $1,000 every year to be together there. Not any more though. Called the same campground we stay at every Memorial Day Weekend which is just a few MILEs AWAY and they were able to fit us in for Columbus Day Weekend all together AND they offer entertainment two nights (bands) in addition to trick or treating for the kids Columbus Day weekend. So if you don't mind basically just having a camp site, no entertainment, not being appreciated, and having to wait in a long line during check out at the dump site to empty your campers utilities, by all means.... read more

After reading some poor reviews we were nervous to stay at this campground. We had a great experience! Very clean bathrooms and the owners are very friendly and are in the process of renovating the entire campground. As for seasonals being unfriendly that was NOT TRUE we were always waved at and often times invited into their conversations! Brand new pool with water slides and shallow end with water features for little kids. We will definitely make this one of our camping trips every year, I think this is a nice little hidden gem. read more

I went camping here for 4 nights. Camped in a 33 ft travel trailer and friends had a 37ft motorhome, although they state they can accommodate large rigs the motorhome barely fit. The sites were grassy and wide but not quite long enough. The only event going on that weekend was a RIB FEST BBQ which I was quite excited about only to find out when I checked in on Friday that it was cancelled because not enough people signed up for it however I was never asked and was planning on signing up when I got there along with the other 3 people that were with me. I feel we should have been called since I was coming from out of state (3 hours away). There were a lot of campers in tents that weekend and I cannot believe that if they were called or asked at the time of their reservation if they wanted to participate that they would not. We were not even offered a pile of wood for compensation. Also the brochure shows a beautiful dock to go out to the pond for canoeing and kayaking only to find out that the dock was under water and you needed to walk through muck to launch the canoe....again the owners thought this was normal. I would think twice before going to this campground as the brochure is deceiving read more
