This CG was very nice, quiet, friendly and clean. Many sites are private. Because of the length of our truck, the site was a bit tight to back into. The owners helped by pulling our TT in with his tractor. Nice field to play horseshoes, putt putt golf, softball, soccer, etc. Very clean bathrooms and the showers were free and each shower room had a decent area to change. Pets are allowed at the beach. Lots of attractions nearby. Plan to visit here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Nice campground. It was 37 dollars because we had 3 adults in our party so there is an extra person charge. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Everything was clean and well kept. It is well supervised, the crew must put on alot of miles on the golf carts driving around :) We enjoyed our stay . There are bears so they warn you not to leave food out overnite. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Just got back from a weekend at this campground (mid-May 2003), and we had a wonderful time. We have a lovely campsite (two-way) hookup right by the brook, though there were three-ways available they are, of course, not by the brook. The
campground was well maintained and the sites were good size, particularly the non-three-way sites. There is an approximately mile and a half hiking trail which runs along the brook (more like a walking trail, generally very level, which you can take to get into the town of Franconia. There in town you'll find a grocery store, restaurant, etc. The people that run the campground at very helpful and friendly. They keep an eye on the sites but aren't in-your-face. They let us come in 4+ hours before the "check-in" time, but still only charged us for one night ($26 for the two-way site by the brook). We are definitely planning to go back. Apparently they offer some recreational activities in the summer, they have a large canopy (to be replaced next year by the timber structure) where they hold a lot of these activities, they have a mini-golf course (which at the time of our visit looked in need of some repair (which they may plan on doing before the full season starts). They have volleyball
and badmitton. There isn't any swimming pool, but the kids, etc., do wade in the brook and create warmer pools of water by making stone walls of sorts in the brook. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This campground is a New Hampshire State Campground located in the beautiful Franconia Notch with 97 wooded sites. It is open year round with no facilities, but not staffed after Oct 9 through about May 20. There are bike trails, hiking, skiing, fishing, swimming etc near by. At the campground the bike trail goes by and there are a number of hiking trails starting from the campground or across the street. This is one of my favorite campgrounds. They do take reservations and in the summer and fall holiday weekends, you need reservations. It is situated at the bottom of two mountains in a notch, a creek runs by and when you have a fire and the full moon is out, the leaves are turning like it was this past Oct – it is beautiful. They do have what they call premium sites so they charge more for them – which is almost all of those at this campground during the summer until Labor Day. We had no problems getting a site during the week in October. You need to check out the sites though because some are not level and hard to get into. There are no hookups but they do have nice showers and also a check in hut with a fireplace and store. The rangers are always friendly here. The bike trail goes from above Cannon Mountain all the way down to the Flume. Riding South to North can be tough but the other direction is great. The ride from the campground to the Basin is not bad though. Great for hiking, waterfalls, swimming in some of the waterfalls and lakes and just a great camping experience. We camped here in a 25 foot motor home and it costs 19 a night. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a New Hampshire State Park situated in the beautiful Franconia Notch. The mountains are above and the creek runs through it. Some of the sites are small but there are others in the meadow that big rigs can camp in. There are coin operated showers that are very hot and clean. The house at the entrance has a fireplace with a fire going, where anyone can gather, sit, read, talk and enjoy. When it rains and it is cold, it gets quite crowded The bike trails go through this park down to the flume and up passed Cannon Mt. They are great. One can visit the Old Man in the Mt (which is not there anymore), the basin, flume etc. Lots of hiking even from the campground. There is also swimming available down the road at Echo Lake. There are some sites right on the creek. One should check out their site - some areas are hard for a big camper to get around and when it is muddy it can be difficult. The loop to the right would be better for large campers. The only problem with this campground now is that they started taking reservations the last three years and now 88 of the sites are by reservation only. They have also decided in the New Hampshire State Parks to select some premium sites that cost $5 more from June 17 to Labor Day. So now you pay to make the reservation and then pay more for the premium site and it seems that most of them are premium. I think I liked it better when it was first come first serve, except to drive that distance and not get a site was a problem too. We had a beautiful site right on the creek and we rode the bike trails all over. The small town near by also has bike trails that head out to the White Mt National Forest. This campground looks out and up at the mountains all around it - it is beautiful especially in the fall. Great place. For those who can not live without utilities the State Park at Cannon Mt, just about a mile away has a few sites with electricity, swimming and views of the mountain - even during the winter months for those who snowmobile and ski. We camped here in a Motorhome.
