Nice campground. We have been here many times before because they have sites right on the Bear River. You can kayak or tube from a few sites or swim at their beach area. Traffic noise is a bit loud. But a fun place! We'll be back! We camped here in a Tent.
Family campground is part of a Lutheran conference center/summer camp/day camp. This is a very family oriented campground. Campground was very clean and quiet, located on Lake Ossipee with a nice beach for the use of the family campground(summer/day camp has own separate beach area). Although this is a Lutheran run campground, there is no expectation or pressure to attend any religious activities. Activities included movie night, ice cream social and tye-dye t-shirt making. Bathrooms and showers were extremely clean at all times. Staff was very polite and friendly. You can also have meals at the conference center if you wish. Good food at very reasonable prices. We will definitely return. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We had a beautiful site on the river. A very comfortable and scenic location to spend several days exploring the mountains. One employee noticed we were having difficulty with using our calling card as our cell didn't have service and he said, "Go ahead and use my cell as I don't ever use all my minutes". This allowed us to notify our family where we were and all was OK. We'd love to go back. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Great camp, wooded, nicely spaced. Old laundry and restrooms but clean. Some sites are easier to get into than others. There are a lot of trees and a fair amount of tight turns. We got there with plenty of rain so we couldn't enjoy any walking or trails. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We were looking for a get away near North Conway NH for the labor day weekend. I found this campground back in June on the internet. This campground became a KOA recently, so we figured that it must be OK (we could not find reviews about this campground). When we arrived it was about 7:00 pm and the office was closed and the CG gate was down. It was by chance that a camp worker showed us where the card key was so that we could open the gate. We had reserved a pull thru site for our trailer and after following the camp worker on very narrow and rough roads we arrived at our site. Our rig just fit on the site and my truck was at about a 30 degree angle pointing downhill, it was a bit tricky to un-hitch. After we went to bed that night we were waken up by the trucks on route 16 using their engine brakes all night. The next day we checked in and talked to the manager about the road noise. She basically told us that the noise was our opinion and that the constant traffic did not bother her, she was just plain rude!. There were other issues that we did not like about this CG and we were not the only guest at this CG the manager was rude to. Other guest left early because of poor CG conditions (we left early also). The CG did have plenty of stuff for kids to do. We would never recommend this CG and we will never stay there again. One last thing, this was our first experience at at KOA and we are not sure if we will visit another KOA CG. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This campground has the friendliest and most helpful staff we have encountered in years - for people and dogs too! We would rate the campground a 10 in customer service. The reason we've listed it as an "8" is the interior roads are difficult to navigate. The sites along the main paved road that runs between the entrance and the store (see campground map on their website) are easily accessed, but all other roads are dirt and gravel. There are some tight turns and a few short but steep inclines. An escort will help you get around the turns and into your site. There are canoes, paddle boats, small kayaks, and rowboats to rent for $5/hr. There is a new dog run and a separate swimming area for dogs. On-site dog daycare available for $3/hr from 8AM-8PM. They were so kind and patient with our dog. By the time we left the staff knew us, our kids, and our dog - incredibly friendly! We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
Very woodsy type of campground just the way I like it. Main road paved, all access roads gravel. All sites cut into the woods, many very roomy with nice privacy. Check-in staff very polite, cheerful, and helpful. We got guided to our site #48 which was a Supersite located right on the water. Site was huge with large patio deck overlooking the pond, complete with patio furniture and gas grill. Large fireplace and facilities well placed and in great shape. Good Water pressure with 2 spigots, lots of cable channels. New electrical distrubution panel. nice sewer hook up. Campground: Very pretty, well maintained campground. Big rigs beware, although super sites are huge, leaving the campground can get tight and a bit tricky. Functional little store for small items but lots of stuff in the area. Campground has a great hiking area that is well maintained. A very picturesque hike in the woods. Staff was very friendly and professional and gave the impression they loved working there. We even got an escort for the way out. Summary: My wife and I love wooded New England style campgrounds over the large RV resorts with open sites and paved roads and sites. This campground fit the bill perfectly. Very in the woods rustic campy feel to this place. Only drawback is, campground is close to Rt 16 so sites near the entrance will get road noise. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
I have camped for over ten years. We have been to so many campgrounds that I have lost count. However, I will remember this campground as being the nicest, cleanest, prettiest and friendliest campground I have ever been to. I LOVED it. We had a beautiful campsite on the water. The view in the morning (and all day) was spectacular. The staff was beyond nice. They had a pirate themed weekend and the staff put so much effort into the activities, my kids had more fun that they did at the Pirates and Princess Party at Disney World! The staff member on the hay ride was so funny and fun. My kids learned a lot from him as well (he was a former teacher and you could tell). The manager was so kind to my kids and put so much effort into the activities-I don't think she stopped working the whole weekend. The staff remembered their names and always said hello when they saw them. It was like we were seasonals. This was impressive since I sometimes feel that seasonals take over at some campgrounds and the transients feel awkward. Not here. The staff was delightful. The whole experience was wonderful. I loved the real camp atmosphere but everything was clean. I cannot say enough about this place. I will be going back soon for a week or more. It is close to all kinds of attractions but you will never want to leave the campground! We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
This campground is GREAT. there are lots of activities for all ages. The staff is VERY helpfully and friendly. playgrounds are in great condition and the pool is new *** New to the campground is a HUGE dog run and when i say HUGE i mean it. Its at least 12 campsites big and they have even keep the ground very natural so the dogs love it. They will be adding some kennels very soon and I did hear something about a doggie day care.. Again this is a great campground I would go there every weekend We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
This park was very very nice! One of the best we have been to. I really liked the quiet atmosphere. We were right next to a small playground, which was great for the younger kids we were with. The only downside was that it felt a bit boring at times. I didn't feel like there was a whole lot going on, which is good sometimes though. There was also a Llama Walk, which sounds like not so much fun, but it was actually very cool. It was a hike, but some llamas came along and everyone took turns walking them. I participated in an epic game of capture the flag int he woods, in which all the other campers were very enthusiastic. Overall I would definitely recommend this campground to anyone, especially people looking to get away for a while We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Stop over for two nights in the month of September during the off season. The campground was very quiet and staff friendly and accommodating. During the "season" a different world may exist. Would use again if needed. Close to the Conways and the Maine border. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Camped over Labor Day, swimming fair as pond is low and weedy, some sites had cable, bathrooms clean but dated, showers fair (C+), sites average size. Park has large seasonal population, excellent walking trails and excellent activities program for kids thru teens. This is a nice, quiet, older campground, the owners talk of it as their "beloved camping village". We liked it, although it's not one of our favorites. We camped here in a camper.
This campground was a disappointment. The campground was gloomy and the owner was extremely rude, sarcastic, and disrespectful (I felt like he did not like us because we were not "Regulars". The campground did have a nice pool and many camp sites, however there was minimal privacy and there was only one bathroom/shower room (a hike from most sites). I will never go back and would not recommend anyone to go there. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This was a very dark campground and overgrown. The road was full of holes due to rain damage. We didn't like it at all. It wasn't a bad spot we just found it dark and not cut back enough. The website looks nice; that's why we went there. The staff ,though, was very nice and friendly. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
We stayed here in a 38' 5th wheel and had a nice long back in site with 50 amp elect and nice water pressure. This is a family run park and the nice couple that own and operate it work extremely hard to meet the demands of all park visitors. There is a sewer service if you are going to stay long enough to have to dump. Lots of things going on and a great area to explore. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
