GuideHighwater trail with bridge close by. Great stars. Creek runs through road near sites good for getting water to filter or washing. Trailhead at end of road.
Scout8 huge, beautiful campsites in the heavily wooded Evans Notch section of The White Mountains National Forest. It's easy to forget there are other people camping on other sites because they're so far apart. It's wonderfully relaxing and quiet. The only thing I regret not bringing with me is a table to put my camp stove on.
ScoutStayed in a tent they do have multiple tent sites RV sites and cabins available more than enough room for tents they have a beautiful pond in the back they have showers or a shower and toilet for those that need it a common room for those that want to cook food play games watch movies. it's about 11 minutes to the grocery store in downtown colebrook. The owners are amazing people they are very nice and kind. This place is really a hidden gem
ScoutNice gem. Toilets were pristine. Very peaceful. Not all sights have drive in access so get here early
TravelerStaff was very helpful. We arrived,after a 3 1/2 hour drive, early for check in but were able to go to our site. The lean-to site was beautifully situated by the incredible river making it easy to take a dip or go fishing. The pit toilet behind the site is our only complaint. There were times we could smell the stench from our site. There is construction work at the campground as they build bathhouses that should be done by next spring. Hopefully, they get rid of the pit toilets.
ScoutI am currently living all year round at Stony Brook Campgrounds. Showers clean ,bathrooms clean. Very nice pool. Basketball and volleyball. RV pull thru sites and tents and cabins as well. Excellent campgrounds to call home.
ScoutEven had a cell signal that gave data with a weboost.
ScoutAVOID MAIDSTONE STATE PARK
Being thrown out of Maidstone because Tom thinks he can make up the ADA, threatened to call the police over nothing and threw us out.
We have been in the state parks this summer since the 9th of may missed 7 days and us and our dogs have had zero issues until Maidstone
Great a transphobic park manager targeted us over service dogs and harassed a teenager who has major medical issues, purposely not going to the sight leader and harassing a disabled teenager when isolated from the rest of our site.
Maybe I’ll post the videos here, it’s unhinged.
Our lives are worth so much more then some unhinged manager trying to make up his own version of the ADA
Throw on transphobia was the motivation, awards Maidstone as the worst state park in the system so far.
My ex wife’s 3 sisters all worked for him at basin harbor club in there younger years and he was unhinged and problematic then, I remember how elated they were to see him move on to the state parks and out of the community.
Maidstone state park horrific transphobic and disability based discrimination was the most surprising, according to Maidstone one of our service dogs is not allowed in the state parks system. Yet Kathy up in the Ilands who runs that campground with an iron fist didn’t have any problems in the 46 days I spent there to open the season………
The documentation I have is shocking, way yo cut our time short by 2 weeks and have to panic pack and flee

0 stars
It’s also alarming how the manager and the staff are excited attendance it’s down 30%, 3 of the 5 employees stating they don’t want it busy and the collective goal of the campground was low attendance for less work.
What a disgusting audited to have. I’m way over qualified to run Maidstone state park, 1/3 of side A is closed, soon side B as soon as that bath house gives out.
It’s a small place, it should be packed with Vermonters, as a businesswoman it would be ridiculously easy to pack that campground week in and week out, quickly justifying new facilities and oping back up the loop
2 years at the helm, I’d be planing a summer of renovations at Maidstone
Instead it’s going to fizzle and fail under its current management.
GuideNice campground, we enjoyed our site next to the cabin that our friends stayed in. One thing to note, lots of returning seasonal campers.
The campground offers lots of fun activities, such as bingo, karaoke, and live music. The new owners plan on new upgrades as time goes on.
