Rating: 7 7 7 10 9 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: We had an odd check-in experience at this campground. We had an escort to our site, but were given no paper with a layout of the campground, or an explanation of the rules. I mentioned at check-in that I had 2 dogs. When we were settled in our site, I took my dogs across the road to a patch of grass. The man who checked us in came by on his cart telling me, "Don't walk your dogs there!" I said, "OK, where should I walk them?" and he motioned "over there" toward the dumpster. After they did their business in the dumpster area, I looked around the corner and saw a sign "Dog Walk" and a small fenced dog yard. It turns out they had a really nice area for the dogs; it would have been good to know that when we checked in. Other than that, we liked this campground. It was clean, with good gravel roads, level pull-through, gravel sites with grass in between, not too tight; cable TV & WiFi. We would stay here again. - FranM
Nice park, clean, safe. We stayed five weeks and got a very decent rate for the long stay. Owner is a very nice gentleman and helpful. Park filled up on weekends. No pool. Clean clubhouse with pool table, ping pong; can be used for group meals. Full Hookups with wifi and cable. Two each of showers and restrooms, clean (didn't use). Very reasonable laundry on site. Rates a 7 because there is nothing to do in the park, especially for kids. Mostly adults coming and going while enjoying the surrounding areas. Our site was fine although it had very little shade. We camped here for a month and enjoyed our stay, using it as a base to explore the area. - Pankie
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Newfound RV Park »This is a small quiet campground with level sites and lots of grass behind the exterior ones. The sites are a sandy gravel which got into the coach and was difficult to get out. The road had a lot of potholes. There is a very small fenced dog run with an overflowing can which still hadn't been emptied 3 days after we arrived. The rest of the park seemed clean though. There is a nice wooded trail, but watch out for unleashed dogs. The campground is well located across from lovely Newfound Lake. - Dapper

Rating: 7 10 1 10 1 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: The electrical hook up was in the pedestal upside down making it very difficult to get a connection, we eventually did it with bungy cords to hold everything in place. The staff was very friendly. There was no wifi at the site but good connection at the office. The site was level, but the exit road had several low hanging branches. - Al and Anne-Marie
We had a fantastic stay in our 19ft trailer. Beautiful site tucked in the woods. No complaints, really. Staff was very pleasant and always accommodating. Beautiful rock fire pit, plenty of room, level site, and our very own comical chipmunk ! We will definitely return. - Happee Campah

This campground is absolutely disgusting. It may seem like a good value but you are in for a nasty experience if you go here.
We rented a cabin which looked like it would be fine. When we arrived and opened up the cabin we were greeted by the smell of must and body odor. The mattresses smelled of old urine. There was dirt and grime all over the place, and graffiti on the table. The cabins are situated close enough to the highway that all you hear the entire time you are there is the sound of trucks barrelling down the freeway. The only thing that distracted from the noise were the too-close neighbors blaring music throughout the night (how about a quiet hours policy? apparently not here!)
This place will try to rip you off at every opportunity. They have an additional charge for gate access. They charge for showers. They charge for firewood they have obviously picked up from left over camping wood that has obvious burn marks on it (and may even be distributing illegal and/or invasive firewood, who knows where that wood came from?). They will try and charge you for an entire additional half-day (over $30) for staying over at their pool for just 30 minutes, even though it was rained out for the entire trip except the first day. If you make the unfortunate decision of going here, you should be on your guard and be extra careful.
By far the most exciting part about this place before we arrived was the pool. Turns out it is just as nasty as the rest of the place. The pool has a noticeable odor coming off of it. The reason, I think, is obvious. In their penny-pinching wisdom they have decided to charge for showers. Guess what that means? Probably all of the sweaty, filthy campers are just jumping in the pool to clean off instead of paying for a shower. Essentially, the pool is a giant dirty bath for the entire campground. They apparently try and make up for this by dumping chemicals in that are extremely irritating to the eyes. - leroyjones -

Rating: 1 1 3 7 3 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: We booked this campground thinking it was a Yogi Bear campground with all the amenities and service that a campground in that chain represents. We were wrong. From the start we were amazed at how run down everything was. The washrooms and showers were filthy. There were cigarette butts on our campsite and all over the campground. The pool area was dirty, the patio chairs were disgusting and when we asked if a few of the empty chairs were taken, one of the staff said one was his and he was saving one for a girl. The office staff was friendly and 1 or 2 of the workers were friendly but the rest were similar to the young man at the pool, disinterested and not helpful or concerned about the campground or the campers. We have camped for over 10 years and have visited over half of the U.S. states and Canadian provinces. This campground is in the bottom three of all the campgrounds we have visited. To think that this is a Yogi Bear campground is incredible. - cranmerc
We rented a deluxe cabin based on our son having been there with his kids last year. It was awful. The deluxe cabin is falsely advertised as sleeping 8 comfortably with two double beds, two bunk beds, and a loft. One of the double mattresses was actually in the loft. We expected small, but comfortable? Not so much. The smell of urine in the bathroom and the bunk room was almost intolerable. My daughter slept in our van because she couldn't breathe the smell was so bad. We called the office and they came, made everything wet, still smelled awful. The entire cabin was filthy, no broom to be seen. The "front steps" consisted of a wooden step, slanted downward and two cement blocks, also slanted downward. We had one serious fall from that. Garbage piled up in and around a garbage can about 20 feet from the front of our cabin. The entire staff, from the office workers, to the managers there, to the young people running the slides and kayak areas were very unresponsive and were of little help. The slides were only open for three hours, a HUGE problem that is not advertised. Once I was told it was the wind (none to be found) and on Sunday we were told that the person running the slides did not come in. So the 12-3 time for the slides (ridiculous and unadvertised) now was 12:30 to 3:00. I told them they should stay open until 3:30. They did not seem to have the mental capacity to understand that. The guy at the kayak place was clueless, barely knew how many kayaks were there. The slide area looks like an abandoned parking lot. Fences leaning all over, ground was stone and mud. The horse shoe pits were a joke. An abandoned field with some metal bars stuck in the ground. Had to rent the horse shoes. Are you kidding? I would NOT recommend this place. - BobInTownsendMA
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park at Ashland »I cannot emphasize enough you should really think about another location for camping. This is not a fun campground for anyone that has any disposable income. This appears to be nothing more than an inner city gathering of people setting up tents and campers with no order. Some sites meant for 4-6 people have 15 with two barking ankle biters. The front office staff are rude and not helpful. Kids of very young ages run around without any supervision and if you need a 30 amp site do not think about running anything with the a/c because you will trip their circuit breakers and then they need to reset when they have time. All in all it is not camping. It is like parking your camper at a local Walmart that has someone walking around in a Yogi suit and old swing sets. - StevenM

Rating: 2 7 6 8 8 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Twin Tamarack is a run down campground with shady people both working and staying at the campground. We were only there for one night on the way to Santa's Village with small children. We were put in a wetland site with swamp weeds and mosquitoes near the front of the campground. It is overrun with seasonal campers and golf carts. The store is a joke as they only have a few items and all are behind a counter as if they are afraid people will steal something. The place appears dirty and in need of repair, trash was spilling over the trash bins and people working were unfriendly in the office. Didn't see a single smile from workers or patrons while we were there. We have stayed at many high quality and highly rated campgrounds and this was a very big disappointment. Mostly older clientele and few kids. I don't suggest that anyone stays here. - JMA33
Well laid out park with gravel roads and sites that are cut into the forest to give loads of privacy all around. WiFi is limited to sites fairly close to office. Good WiFi, good Verizon signal, well-kept campground with nice family feel. Very friendly on-site owners and staff. Pool was a little too green. Lake beach across the road was a nice plus. Nice walking roads around and near the park. - jbrucemagon
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Twin Tamarack Family Camping & RV Resort »We stayed here for a week to go to the NASCAR race in Loudon. It was a 'rustic' campground. Very few 50 amp sites so we had to settle for a 30 amp site. The electricity was not all that great as the voltage would get too low and trip my surge protector all the time, specially late afternoon when people got home from their daily outings and turned on their A/C units. Sister-in-law came and were told that the site they had did not have cable although they had asked for it, so she piggy-backed on ours. It was a quiet campground for the number of children. - Tundra

Rating: 9 1 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Very nice, well maintained campground. Owners seem like nice people and they work round the clock updating and cleaning the campground. Sites were well sized, clean, etc. The campground is close to just about anything you would want to do in New Hampshire. Any criticism would be on the charges for camp activities and deposits required for using rec room equipment. - JButler
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Mountain View Family Campground »Campground is more than a mile up an unpaved, overgrown and unkempt dirt road. We called to check available site and gave the our dimensions and were told to come. We were not told that the one spot available for a 36', triple slide would be two campsites side by side. Next morning when attempting to leave, we were boxed in by overgrown trees which a fellow camper was kind enough to cut enough limps to get me out. Backing out was not possible. My souvenir is many new scratches on my motorhome. On the other hand the owners were friendly and they have installed new cabins if that is your thing. Not for big rigs! - CT Nomads

Rating: 8 8 7 9 8 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: Nice campground. It is heavily wooded with campsites scattered throughout the woods. They appear to have several seasonal campers (maybe 20% of the sites), but they are not run down campers, so no issues. The staff was not unfriendly when we checked in, but not friendly either. Didn't seem to want to answer any of our questions. We are supposed to have access to the facilities at Meridith Woods Campground next door (indoor pool, game room, etc) but since we don't have a gate pass, we have to call the office everytime we want to go there so it isn't worth the hassle. Good TMobile service but because of the trees, satellite service is pretty much impossible. However, we stayed in site 125 and was able to put our dish about 75 feet away in the canoe racks area and get service. - Chuck Shrader
Lovely campground with lots of shade. Gravel roads, nice beach, swimming area, volleyball, etc. I spent the night on a tent site after a long weekend at Winnipesaukee on an island, and didn't want to drive all the way home. Quiet night sleeping, then hit the road first thing. I'd stay here again. Camped in my '89 Westfalia VW camper. - JudoJeff
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Clearwater Campground »This is a nice campground on a small lake. The little beach is lovely with a volley ball net and area you can fish or put a small boat in, etc. The lake is small but if you just want to get into some nice New England water then it is perfect. People were nice, TV and cell coverage was good. Small but good roads and wooded environment. One way system but once you get the hang of it. The sister campground across the street has pool and hot tub but we did not use. The location is good for Meredith and the lake. Nothing special but could not really find anything in the area that was great. - FrancisandRenee

Rating: 10 9 8 7 8 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: OK, so I'm calling these guys and leaving messages all winter. About to spend a huge chunk to drive here from CA. Not good at answering. Finally, one of the staff got back to me a few times. These people are awesome!! Great couple run a clean and beautiful park. We loved it. The little town nearby is cute but up the road a few miles is all you need. - Road Dawg
After selling our house we stayed here for a few days while getting the motorhome tuned up and putting the finishing touches on our travel plans. This is a large campground - with many well maintained seasonal sites as well as many transient sites. Our site, #51, was on Ames Brook which is a fast moving brook that flows through parts of the campground. Being on the brook we enjoyed the soothing sound of running water as our "background music". We had water, sewer and electric and 30 amp. Most of the sites are wooded and shady - keeping everyone cool on a hot summer's day. Office staff is nice, helpful and profesional. The exchange library is full of books. The laundry area is spotless and the price for laundry is reasonable: $1.25 for a wash and $1.50 for drying. Much less than other places we have stayed. At the moment it's mostly adult campers - probably a bit early for family camping during the week. The pool looks very clean and will be much busier once school is out. Staying here you're near downtown Ashland which has cute shops and a great Common Man Restaurant (have eaten there several times). Lots of water fun (lakes) nearby if you have your kayaks. All in all a clean, pleasant and convenient campground in which to enjoy your summer or a few days. - Rdtrip04

Rating: 8 9 9 7 8 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: This is a large wooded campground with very spacious sites with woods in between each site for complete privacy. Nestled in the hills near Lake Winnipesauke with easy access off Interstate 93 but a couple of miles so you don't get road noise. The roads inside the park itself are pretty bad. Frost heaves are very deep and it's bumpy, windy and hilly but doable. Hopefully they'll redo these roads soon. The sites are back in but easy for big rigs to get into. They have crushed rocks, full hookup 30/50 amp with strong cable. Staff was extremely nice and there's an indoor pool here as well as playground, horseshoes etc. No onsite propane refills. I didn't use the park wifi as it was not free but hotspots were good. Verizon was 5.5d/3.4u without a booster and 12d/5u with a booster. ATT was 10d/1.7u w/out a booster and 15d/2u with a booster. T mobile was also good over 10d w/out booster. Shopping and activities are plentiful in the nearby towns. You don't have to go far to get everything you need. The laundromat onsite was small. 2 single washers/2 dryers so we went to Village Laundry which was about a 15 min drive. It was very clean. It uses a card system which required a single $1 bill to start the card which you can then fill up with larger bills. No coins accepted and no credit cards accepted. - Jessie1975
This is the 3rd year we've stayed here, and probably our favorite RV park. The lot size is amazing, and each lot is surrounded by woods on three sides. Really great firepits, mostly made of huge boulders. So much privacy. They have a nice indoor swimming pool and hot tub, and the campground across the street (same owners I think) is right on Lake Pemigewassett, so there is kayaking and canoeing. The only reason I didn't give a 10 star rating would be the rough roads - although I think that is mainly caused by tree roots, a side effect of having lots of trees! - Florida Honey
View more reviews and a full list of amenities for Meredith Woods »We stayed for two weeks as a a celebration for our 50th anniversary was being held in Meredith. The good: Site was very nice, woody, and level. Lots of seasonal residents but somewhat segregated. Nice area for walking with room for all types of camping...tent, pop up, any sized RV. WiFi, cable and utilities were excellent. Drainage mostly good, but some patches of mud which could have used sand. Laundry facilities were good and in working order. Location was close to eateries, the Lake, and shopping. The inconvenient: arriving in the pouring rain at 11:50 the greeting was about the $10 early registration fee. The road in and out of the park is a single lane wide. The roads and turns are somewhat tight. Also, they are very strict about visitors, another first for us. For a park with quiet time, a 6:15 am noisy garbage pickup seemed out of place. Maybe warn the campers ahead. We would recommend this park, but encourage you to read the rules before you commit. - TailsAwagging

Rating: 7 7 3 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: As previously stated new owners are friendly and working hard on improvements. New pool was open. Owners were waiting for pool heater to be hooked up which will be a nice touch. We had a nice site with privacy but theses sites are vanishing quickly because the owners are putting in a lot of seasonals. I doubt that if we wanted to stop here next year we would find an adequate site for our 37' RV. Cable lines were lying on top of the ground as well as water lines and sewer pipes. Labor day weekend was noisy. Folks next to us were loud after quiet time and started using foul language in their conversations but they were all gone in 2 days. Holderness is where they filmed On Golden Pond. The tenting area was nicely set in the woods. Won't stop here again since all the good sites we saw are being converted to seasonal. - rv4rob
This campground has new owners who are doing a good job of bringing it up to date. They put in a new pool which was not ready when we were here Memorial Day weekend but which I understand was ready the following week. They are also doing a lot of landscaping. Our sites were fine. We were travelling as a large group and got 5 sites together. The kids participated in the activities that were offered and really enjoyed them. Dogs were welcome. One warning, there were lots of mosquitoes. I did see on their FaceBook page that they sprayed sometime after we visited. I would stay here again. - sbradley

Rating: 5 7 8 3 9 Clean Restrooms: Clean Showers: We stayed at this campground while visiting friends in the area. I must say the site is better suited for tenters. The access road and roads within the camp were narrow and rough. Numerous pot holes make it easy to maintain the park speed limit, that much is certain. This campground is on river bottom land so be ready for lots of bugs and lots of sand in your rig. Our site was level sand next to the bath house. It was a water and electric site. Utilities were located at the rear of the site, making it necessary for me to drag out my 50' hose. Electric was steady with good voltage. Water pressure was good. We visited the dump station upon leaving the park, and as mentioned in other reviews, it was difficult to navigate. All in all, we were not impressed with this campground and would probably not stay here again. - Airstreamers
This is a nice quiet family oriented park. Lots of tents and trailers but very quiet at night. Roads are OK but not great. Lots of low branches for motorhomes. Site was good with 50 amp and water. Dump station is convenient and clean. No wifi and we could not find any TV stations even on our antenna. Verizon hotspot worked well. Office staff was very nice and actually came out while we were at the dump station to see if we had any issues with our stay. I explained that our only issue was some low hanging branches for our motorhome. The manager stated that she would have the trimming service that they contact with raise the limbs although to be honest there are not a lot of motorhome site available at this park. We stayed here in a motorhome and would stay again. - RayN
