I would have rated it a 10 if I had been to more campgrounds to compare it to. We had a great time fishing and swimming. This was our first trip in our motorhome. There were 2 adults and three kids and we all had plenty to do for 3 days. The only downside is the campground is so close to our house (30 miles) it feels a little like cheating. I think we were in site 34 which had a nice amount of privacy. The sites along that row were also terraced at different levels so you weren't looking right into your neighbors windows. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Passport America rate for 50 amp, water, sewer, CATV and WiFi site. We ended up spending 6 nights here, owners are a wonderful young couple who as posted are actively working on improvements. We loved the area, Lancaster is a fairly large town for this far north. We traveling on US-2 and this was a great place to spend a few nights for some sight seeing. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Campground owners are actively managing it -- makes it a very nice place to be. Current owners have had it a while, but continue to invest money, such as new partially paved enter/exit roads. Lake scenery is beautiful, can rent kayaks/canoes on lake. Plenty to do at campground, but outside of it isn't much to do other than the scenery. Located just north of the White Mountains however, so a 30 minute drive can get you somewhere quite nice. Only issue here was the wooded forest made for quite a bunch of bugs. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We overnighted here. This is a beautiful location. Park is on a hillside above a small lake where you can fish or rent canoes, paddle boats, etc. The entire property is wooded and the facilities are very complete and well kept. The washroom is neat as are the restrooms and showers. The office staff was terrific and very welcoming. There is a separate building with a game room and meeting room. There is a small grocery supply section along with RV supplies and souvenirs section in the office building. The park is very child friendly and has brightly painted playground equipment. They even have a yurt for rent as well as cabins. The only negative is the many mosquitoes. On a walk to the rear of the property and down by the lake we were repeatedly bitten. Also we were unable to sit outside and enjoy at the lake. We will return prepared for the little rascals. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
My kids had a great time here. We were in a Lake site. It's not a big lake, but we did see loons and they have kayak and canoe and pedal boat rentals. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
I have camped in 35 different states and this campground is the only one we always come back to when visiting New England. The campground has beautiful mountain views. The lake is very serene and the grounds are immaculate. During our last visit, we had to stay on a water/electric site due to all the full hookups being reserved. We used the restrooms regularly and they were always clean. The owners take pride in their restrooms and you can tell. They have many children's activities. The campground has a welcoming and safe feeling. The campground's rules are the same as other campgrounds, the only difference is that here they enforce them. This is one of the many reasons we keep coming back. The campground owner's story of why they bought the campground is an intreging and impressionable one. Next time you're planning to go up to Santa's Village or any other White Mtn attraction, don't pass this place by. We never do. We camped here in a Motorhome.

If you like rules you will love this campground. I would not recommend big groups. We brought 35 people (22 adults and the rest kids) all family to have a good time at this beautiful and clean campground. By 8:30pm Friday, We were told that a bear strolls through by 10pm and were told that people were concerned with our group and the noise before nightfall. I must say we were quiet and in control. Our group over took the pond side of the campground. There was no one else but our own family we could bother with noise. Our fire was more controlled that it has ever been, yet the owner came running out down the hill, nearly fell, to tell us the fire was "out of controll. " Saturday night they did nothing and there were people being loud everywhere. We stayed so our kids could have fun, but we will not go there again. They were rude as well. We saw no bear. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Very misleading. We were very disappointed with our stay. The owners were new and we found them to be very rude. Quiet time is noted to be at ten o'clock and when that time comes, they mean quiet time. We were sitting at our fire just talking in a normal voice, we were not loud and the owners came tearing up the road in their golf cart and slammed on the brakes and started yelling at us to be quiet. The only time we saw the bathrooms clean were the day we arrived. Any other time they were filthy dirty. They were only cleaned once a day (if that). If you like an extremely quiet campground, you may want to check this place out and see for yourself. The only upside we found was the lake was very picturesque and the grounds were in good shape. The fish were small, but plentiful. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

A great place with a lot of things to see in the area. Near the White Mountains. My kids loved the kyack rentals. A lot to do and priced so a family could afford. Bathrooms were like a KOA... very clean and nice. You will enjoy. The only thing that keeps this from a 10 was the highway noise off rt 3 at night. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
This campground offers really good views of the White Mountains. The grassy sites are terraced into a large hill which overlooks a valley and then a range of mountains. It was beautiful. That being said, this is a campground which has become a little worn around the edges. Everything is clean and nicely landscaped, but the picnic tables are wobbly, the signs are rusty, and the buildings all need a coat of paint. It was still a great place to stay with many good pull-through sites and some great sites for tenting in the woods. The owners were friendly and helpful. The campground was very quiet and did not get highway noise. We would go back again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
We were not impressed with this campground. The sites are packed together, and you are practically sitting on your neighbor's lap. There was very little shade for the whole area I was in. Campers were up until 1-2am partying. The fireworks were very nice. The shower was FREE, so that was a positive thing. The items at the store were VERY expensive; make sure you go prepared! I will admit the view of the white mountains is spectacular, but not enough so I would go here again. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
The sites are a little close together but this is a great location to stay if you are going to Santa's Village or Six Gun City or one of the new water parks in New Hampshire. It has a mini-golf course and a water slide next door. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
Very nice family campground. Clean and well maintained restrooms and showers. Mostly full hookups. Nice mountainside sites with lovely views. Pull throughs were not conducive to leaving tow vehicle attached but otherwise were level and included picnic table. We would return to this campground next time we are in this area. We camped here in a Motorhome.
