Unforgettable experience....as usual! First off, we have been patronizing this campground several…read moretimes a year since the new owners (John and Lisa) took it over a few years ago and made countless upgrades and additions to make this campground one of the best in NH. We stayed here for our usual (3) nights in late August 2023 at our usual (brook front) site (no I won't say the site number... its ours LOL) with my wifey and our "son" (dog). I am constantly amazed how dog friendly this place is. Most notably the welcome he receives upon check-in and the obvious love of animals from the staff. Most notable, this past trip a male employee (maintenance) I believe (sorry I don't recall your name) went above and beyond by showing our dog so much love, making it a point to stop and say hello to him in passing and even bring him his own bag of dog treats on our last night (which he devoured before we got home). The campground has (3) amazing dog (ambassadors) which make the stay even more enjoyable. First there is Lacey, a quiet yet reserved doggo with an obvious sense of class and sophistication. Then there is Tyson and energetic lab who will be your best friend if he sees you with a ball. Last but not least there is Rocky the rottweiler who has been the "framed" by some bad reviews as intimidating (LOOOL) he is an amazing, well trained, kind, asset to this campground and it is your loss if you find him to "Intimidating" to say hello to as he is passing by sitting shotgun on the chrome wheeled chariot (golfcart) that he frequently "patrols" the campground in. Most notable in some negative reviews this campground has rules! and has security! for a reason! The rules are simple (DRIVE 5 MPH!) It's common sense! You wouldn't speed through a school zone so why a campground with countless kids and animals! And yes, if you speed you may get told to "slow down" please don't take offense to this like your being personally attacked. It's the employees and owners taking a stand to ensure their guests are safe! The second rule is "Quiet ours are 10pm to 8am". If you are making excessive noise during this time, yes, you most likely will be spoken to by security. Again, don't take offense to this "outrageous" rule. This campground is surrounded by (2) beautiful brooks and the last thing that needs to be heard is excessive noise in such a great location. We can honestly say in the several years we have been coming here we have never had a noise issue. However, if you do have an issue there is a convenient phone number you can text where your issue will be addressed promptly. Everyone here is either guests or friends which shows by the extent the owners (John and Lisa) go to ensure you are having a great time. The few negative reviews I have seen are mostly because you didn't give them a chance to go the extra mile for you, or were just plain rude or entitled. We have personally seen the owners and staff go the extra mile multiple times! As far as the campground itself its situated in the heart of the white mountains close to many major attractions (Clarks Trading Post, Kancamagus Highway, Storyland, Santas Village, Flume Gorge, Polar Caves, Lost River Gorge) to name a few. This campground is wooded! Yes, there are no wide open spaces it's a wooded campground in the heart of NH and there are trees, winding roads and each site is unique. The owners made it simple to plan your visit by having posted photos of many sites online as well as provide information while booking explaining what the features are to each site and what type of equipment it can accommodate. There are rustic (primitive) sites, full hookups (water, elec, sewer) as well as gorgeous "Glamping" cabins and more rustic simple wooded cabins! The (3) restroom/bathhouses are always clean and welcoming. The onsite laundry room served us well after we were ill prepared during a NH summer downpour! During the day (especially weekends) there are activities such as games (Human bumper ball!!!) as well as "Fairy walks!" Ice cream socials, arts and crafts and our personal favorite the "dance parties!" featuring the fairy lights (see attached photos) during the evening the area around the bridge is lit up by countless laser lights which reflect off the trees to create a truly unique experience. Each time we arrive our site has been immaculate and ready for us which is another kudos to the amazing staff. After writing this review, I feel like I have not touched the surface of topics I could talk about regarding this campground. We will continue to patronize this campground and consider it "our campground" and our "home away from home!". 10.5 out of 5 stars! -Lavoie family!

They gave us a hard time about having two vehicles on our campsite but when we got up in the morning there were atleast 3 other sites with multiple cars on them. The playground and the bath houses need some serious upkeep. The sites themselves were clean but they really need to do some tree trimming. This was probably our first and last year here.

Campground is gated and they give you a pass to get in. Off the main road so you may hear traffic during the day but it's super quiet at night. Close by to grocery store. The beach access was the highlight. The private access we had was amazing. The sand felt like it was imported from FL. We brought a canoe for the lazy river. They have horseshoes and a large bin full of play toys, bats, frisbee etc to use. Our site was spacious and private. Where we stayed a tree dropped purple berries and occasionally an acorn so you may want to expect acorns possibly hitting your car. Overall, our favorite campground!

Far enough…read moreoff route 93 where you feel secluded from the main hustle and bustle, but close enough to Walmart, gas stations, restaurants, etc. My friends and I were welcomed by friendly staff right away at check in. The camp store is packed with food and camping essentials. We grabbed a campground map, and luckily a local map, which came in handy as the service in the area is pretty spotty! Not a problem for our group as we were looking to disconnect for the weekend, but definitely something to keep in mind. The camp wifi worked well up near the main areas, but could be a little spotty down by our site; no biggie though. We stayed at site R1 along the river, without hookups. These spots were gorgeous! The white noise of the river while sleeping was so relaxing. Our spot had some good distance from our neighbors, although it appeared some of the other "R" sites are a little close together (great for groups/families!). The area was flat with plenty of room to set up a large 8 person tent, and still have room for the picnic table, fire ring and chairs, and even more tents if needed. Our first day we had some severe weather warnings and quite a bit of rain. The staff was wonderful with driving by and checking on us, as they warned us the river can rise with severe rain. Luckily we didn't have any problems with the river getting too close to our tent. The campground has events throughout the summer that are definitely worth checking out. We were lucky enough to grab some pizzas from the food truck that came to visit! We will definitely be returning here, and recommending this place to friends and family!

Beware, all those 1 star reviews and other bad reviews are true. Owner/ management very rude to non…read morecaucasian guests. Camp sites are deceiving. R-sites are small and going down hill in to the river/ stream. No privacy between sites. These site are below the top of the hill, camping on a slope. They also have a ledge of ground on the edge of site going down into the waters. Definitely can easily injure oneself if not careful. Most fire pits are at the edge of the site under the trees branches, not on flat land looking like it is going to fall and go into the river/stream. Quiet time is at 1030pm. This actually means silent time, lights out and go to bed. Can not sit around fire pit and talk. Booked 3 nights with family only stayed one night. Could not stay because of the owner stalking us at night and did not feel welcomed. Being watched all the time. Keep your money go elsewhere. Speedway near by, hear everything at the campground. Can not even hear ourselves speak with the racing going on there. Non caucasian steer clear. You will be judged the moment you step into the office. Treated with no respect, harass and stalked. Come to think of it, it is like a KKK movie...these ppl will speak to you only to benefit them but behind our backs despises us

That was very good chunks of apples and everything in it and my husband had pistachio. He said it was one of the best he's ever had homemade always taste better anyways and the girls were very friendly kind. Explain some of the flavors. I didn't know what they were. I did say yes we make all our own from scratch which I thought was really cool. We did send other friends. We are staying with bikers over there for a treat, and several people said the same thing everything was wonderful.

We travel there often and always stay at covered bridge, and always have a fantastic time. The first host you come across is very nice, even in the uncertain times of covid 19. Our site is always fantastic, with a grilling fire pit and picnic table. The campground has many bathrooms and dumpsters throughout, so you don't have to travel far for either. Heads up that some sites have a stair case you have to haul your stuff up, but it's totally worth it. Those are some of the best sites along outer loop of the campground. A short walk will bring you to the swift river, an awesome place to get sun and hang out. Trails and waterfalls line the highway, take your pick, it's all amazing!!! We just love it here so so much. Can't say enough great things about it.

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!
