    Forest Glen

    Forest Glenn campground

    Forest Glenn campground is a very nice campground on Wheelwright pond in Lee New Hampshire! Not well kept up but makes you feel like you’re still camping and not glamping ( glamorous camping ) besides some of the very nice campers here with 2 stories on them! Anyway cutting to the chase, just to let any new comers know that are looking for camping in the Lee area if you so choose to camp at forest Glenn depending who you are or how you approach this place dictates if you will have to feel like your stepping on eggshells your entire stay… the owner is a angry Drunk who is sometimes very nice to others or very nasty, and I personally mostly see him being nasty. A couple years back I wanted to look at the campground to see if this would be a place I wanted to stay at so I walked into the office and asked them if we could look around and the lady was in the process of writing us a pass to drive through. This man comes in and said whats going on so I politely told him that we were interested in his campground and we wanted to look around. He completely flipped out said he doesn't understand, said his campground is his back yard, we can't allow this how would you like if I just walked around your back yard etc etc.... yelling at us the whole time and spitting while screaming and then told us to get out of his sight…. This place mind you is overrun by golf carts and I have heard of incidents where people get hit by them because who cares about the posted 5mph speed limitations if your in a golf carts right? Right! And CLEARLY this place is a Double standard place so you will not be treated equal… and as far as I know this place has secret people who camp supposedly working at camp like the manager and security and the plumber or electrician who look like their helping but while helping they gather information about you to spread it around to others or to cause problems with you and the owner!! Oh how thoughtful… one Morning I was in the office and the owner pulled me into the rec room to have a talk with me about my string lights suggesting I shut them off at night and I’m not allowed to use them anymore. I said “sir why would I do that there are 50 other sites with spot lights and string lights Who are these lights bothering that I need to take them down for? “ he said use them inside the trailer I don’t want to see them on again! “ now tell me how that makes any sense… so I shut them off and it became like a minefield on my site at night with no lights while the campers down a different street get to have theirs on. There is no privacy at this place, things keep going missing, and the sites are packed like sardines with no room for Jesus. There are also people staying here over winter and it’s a seasonal campground tell me how that makes any sense. Anyway definitely an experience to be at where drama hits too close to home and the golf cart parking spots are rolling a little to close to my feet. “ oh sorry my foot slipped “ #welp time to search for another place. Seems to be a trend with almost every campground. Angry owners who automatically cause problems or can’t run their own business place without drug addicts for help ( to say the least me and my wife WILL NOT BE COMING BACK )

    Harbor Hill Camping Area

    Best Seasonal Campground in the Lakes Region!

    This is a great campground to be a seasonal at! 1 mile from a beautiful beach on Lake Winnipesaukee. 1 mile from town with cute shops and nice restaurants. Friendly staff. Seasonals are very friendly and welcome new seasonals. Campground is taken care of. It is family owned and they really care. I love the fact it is all seasonal- it has a wonderful community feel.

    Barn Door Hostel & Campground

    Incredible comforting vibe

    Have been here twice, both end of season and beginning of season. The owners/operators are attentive, caring and engaged. Facilities are above par, the location is about the best you can get, highly maintained and they have Goose, probably one of the best dogs ever. Do yourself a favor and stay here... nights around the fire up in the whites in a safe and welcoming place are beyond description.

    Cape Neddick Oceanside Campground

    Two week stay

    Read reviews on google. That’s the experience we had. The signs no everything. Cash only. The management is very weird acting and riding around on a bicycle. I feel so weird making this review because this place is odd . The tenants are fun and the scenery is great. But but but you’ve been warned. Turn your blue tooth off and your WiFi so that your cellphone privacy is protected.

    Crawford Notch Campground

    Wanted to love it

    Pros: Cleanliness, spacious sites, location,

    Cons: will change your site for no reason, I booked site 43 and 44 they ended up giving my site 43 to someone else when they could have accommodated them at another site (mind you 3 more sites were available that day) - I actually paid for my site, I just feel like it’s a total crooked way of charging people and upon arrival your desperate to set up and they just threw this info at me stating that they changed my site. So disrespectful and rude and they don’t refund!

    They charge extra for “lock in” site, not worth the money or the headache, they need better management. Showers are near the entrance (very long walk) or you’ll have to drive to the bathroom

The region sits at approximately 700 feet above sea level in York County, with nearby lakes like Bunganut and Ivanhoe providing freshwater recreation opportunities. Summer temperatures typically range from 60-85°F, creating favorable conditions for tent, RV, and cabin camping throughout the season.

What to do

Kayaking and paddling access: Pine Ridge Campground in Acton serves as a convenient base for water recreation. Located just minutes from various lakes, campers can bring their own watercraft or rent equipment nearby. "Ashley here from The Dyrt! It was great to add this RV park going into their 3rd season! Minutes away from scenic hiking, fruit orchards and more," notes a visitor about the surrounding recreational opportunities.

Family-oriented activities: Acres of Wildlife Family Campground in Steep Falls offers programmed activities that keep children engaged. "A must! This camp ground is FULL of fun for kids. There is activities and 2/3 playgrounds," explains one camper. The campground also features "fire truck rides" and tie-dye activities that create lasting memories for families.

Beach swimming: Many campgrounds provide lake access with dedicated swimming areas. At Sebago Lake State Park Campground, "Beach areas were very nice for relaxing," notes one camper. The park features sandy beaches along the shoreline with clear, shallow entry points suitable for children and non-swimmers.

What campers like

Privacy levels: Campers frequently mention site spacing as important to their experience. "Our site was large and spacious, and it was great to be able to build a fire," reports a visitor to Danforth Bay Camping & RV Resort. Site privacy varies widely between campgrounds, with some offering more secluded options than others.

Water proximity: Access to lakes ranks high among camper preferences. "The lake itself is unreal, with the mountains in the background it just feels incredibly peaceful and serene," describes a visitor to White Lake State Park. Many campgrounds feature direct water access or waterfront sites at premium rates.

Bathroom facilities: Clean facilities significantly impact visitor satisfaction. At Sun Outdoors Saco Old Orchard Beach, "The bathrooms were the cleanest I've seen camping and the staff was incredibly friendly!" notes one camper. Most established campgrounds provide flush toilets and hot showers, though shower costs and cleanliness vary by location.

What you should know

Reservation requirements: Most campgrounds require advance booking, especially for weekend stays. "We were lucky to score a nice site mid week just before the 4th of July," mentions a camper at Sebago Lake State Park, highlighting the challenge of securing spots during peak times. Booking windows typically open 6-12 months in advance for the most popular locations.

Seasonal considerations: The camping season generally runs from May through mid-October. Several campgrounds close after Columbus Day weekend. "We went the last weekend they were open for the season (sometime in October) and it was a blast!" shares a visitor at Acres of Wildlife, indicating that shoulder season camping can offer a different but enjoyable experience.

Quiet hour enforcement: Rules regarding noise and evening activities vary by campground. At White Lake State Park Campground, one camper noted, "Quiet hours are not honored here, fails to feel family friendly sometimes. My first trip I was next to partygoers and they played heavy metal, cussing, and drinking late into midnight." Enforcement practices differ significantly between locations.

Tips for camping with families

Playground access: When camping with children, look for sites near play areas. "They had three (!!) playgrounds, a swimming lake, kayaks, canoes, paddleboats, tie-dying, a great camp store, a bar for adults, ice cream bar for kids and nightly firetruck rides!" reports an enthusiastic parent from Acres of Wildlife Family Campground.

Bike-friendly routes: Several campgrounds offer safe biking opportunities for children. "We love the golf carts and sandy beaches as well as the proximity to North Conway and Lake Ossipee," mentions a visitor to Danforth Bay. At White Lake State Park, one parent noted, "A great family campground just South of Conway, NH. Close to groceries, the outlets, plenty of restaurants."

Activities calendar: Bunganut Lake Camping Area provides structured entertainment for younger campers. "Small rec ball with games and movie nights was all the kids needed! Plus a playground/basketball court that has something for all ages. My daughters first stop was the adorable library! Books, games and movies galore!" shares a family that visited the campground.

Tips from RVers

Site selection considerations: RV sites vary significantly in size and accessibility. At Danforth Bay Camping & RV Resort, "Danforth Bay has been the staple campground for my family through the years. Its rare to find a campground with so many spacious wooded sites overlooking the water," notes one experienced RVer.

Hookup availability: Many campgrounds offer water and electric hookups, but fewer provide full sewer connections. "Really liked this campground, large sites with full hookups. Beach and boat ramp with some cabins on the water," shares an RVer who stayed at Danforth Bay, highlighting the comprehensive amenities available to motorhomes and trailers.

Road conditions: Access roads can present challenges for larger rigs. At Lake Forest RV Resort in East Wakefield, "I loved it perfect for our new RV the owners were great," reports a visitor, indicating the campground accommodates newer and potentially larger recreational vehicles without access difficulties.
