They claim they have a lot of kid things but nothing was planned for the time we were there. No pool which meant the small swimming lake was the only place to go. Get there early or a family of 20 seasonal people set themselves up across the entire water front and proceed to smoke cigars. Only one bathroom facility and when my nephew went to take a shower it did not work. When brought to the front office, they were completely indifferent to it. That was on day 2 of 7 and it never worked. By the last day the trash was overflowing and I was very happy to be leaving. BTW the bugs were horrible so if you go spray a lot and often.

The owner chased us down on a golf cart saying he'd kick us out of the campground if we got on the boat. He was very mean and nasty! Also no bikes, no leaving your kayak near the water, very quiet and basically no fun allowed!! Our other friends stayed at Whispering Pines across the lake. We visited and the vibe over at their was so much better!!!!! Go to Whispering Pines instead.

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.

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).

They don't have any kid activities, they don't open the arcade room til 8pm. So we sat at our dirty capsite for the whole day and night. The mosquitoes are awful, the cigarette smoking makes it unable to breathe. Our site was a mess, cigarettes all over, dirty rags and a rusted pail scattered around. The beach area had broken beer glass on it. We paid to go on the lake, we had to bail the boat out first and then drag it ourselves to the water. I would never come here ever again. They don't take pride in the campgrounds at all.

We have been seasonal campers at Tuxbury Pond for 2 years now. Tuxbury Pond has so much potential…read moreand could in all honesty be a truly lovely camping resort. Currently it just falls short. It's not because our rates aren't high enough, they charge as much a season here as they do at Danforth Bay. which is a true Camp Resort also located in NH. The beginning of this season started off poorly between the lack of grounds upkeep, we had our leaf bags sitting at our camp sites until July 4th weekend. I had a dear friend from Maine who rented a tiny house back in January, she confirmed 2 times both in March and early May. She was literally driving down the driveway at 4:10PM on Memorial Day weekend when she received a call that her reservation was canceled because she has 2 dogs. The online system allowed her to pay for the stay and put the pet's info down. No apology was given to her simply a cancelation. My husband was available and could have taken her dogs to our home, but she wasn't allowed any options. The more upsetting part was, I was trying to convince her to become a seasonal with us, needless to say, the bad taste didn't go ago. We too contemplated going to another campground. Others in the area that are less expensive and offered comparable amenities however we fell for this year's staff and the hope improvements to the campground will be made. John, the Activities Director was such a delight. Always hardworking with creative ideas on how to make Tuxbury Pond more pleasurable and engaging for the campers of all ages. The office staff both Carin & Kate were always knowledgeable with a quick smile and helpful hand. It would be great if there were a little eatery on the grounds sometimes you don't want to cook and it's another social place to gather with other campers. The Lodge would be perfect for a little sandwich/ pizza joint. Also the store is handy but if it offers more of the emergency staples, that too would be helpful if you needed bread or forgot the eggs, you need to run to the grocery store. In closing, for us this next season will be the tell-tale season. If we don't see improvements or if there is another season with ALL new staff, we'll be moving on. Sadly, I see more and more campers and trailers pulling out of the campground. I do hope upper management starts looking at the campground and not their wallets. But I can say the campground is safe, family orientated, and the campers are very friendly and welcoming.

You would think it would not be easy to make friends and bond with his bunk mates but the transition was easy thanks to the camp leadership at that time. The new director has been brought a new perspective to Bauercrest. Keeping the traditions the older campers know and love while offering better daily structure and electives. The past reputation of the camp is that it was a competitive sports camp. Your child does not have to be a competitive athlete to enjoy camp. He only needs a love of participating in sports. While my kids do talk about the fun they had at sports tournaments and playing in-camp league, their fondest memories revolve around hanging out with their friends in camp or on field/bunk trips. My kids are counting the days until school camp begins.
