LegendThis is a great campground for families! Conveniently situated for skiing, climbing, hiking and leaf peeping. Amenities include; swimming pool, dog park, horseshoes, arcade, disc golf, basketball and more! They also have a propane fill station. As KOA’s go, you will pay for these amenities, but you get a lot of bang for your buck.
TravelerRelaxing! Fun! Camping the way camping should be!! Nice wooded sites! Super friendly seasonals! The owner is the best and his campground is beautiful! You can tell he puts the “happy” in camping!! Stay Happy!!
TravelerWe come to this campground every year to hike a few 4000+ mountains. Typically we come in the fall. There are several full hook up rv sites, some without sewer and several spots for RVs near the river. While the pizza shop (Celli's) is closed for renovations right now, we love their pizza and fries. The bathrooms are decent and there is hot water!
TravelerQuiet campground experience. Very cheerful staff member. Ice Cream shop is a bonus. We found a secluded spot without reservations. Monday evening. Some sites are tight for larger RVs but our Class B Camper Van fit fine.
GuideThis is one of our “go to” campgrounds when in NH. Super clean and good mountain biking.
ScoutPark is nestled in the woods with a lot of activities outdoors. Walking trails for people and dogs. Great laundry, bathrooms, office/store, cafe. The roads into the sites are tight but they guide you. We have a 30’ trailer and 20’ truck, I wouldn’t bring a trailer longer than 35’ in unless you are really good in tight spaces. Site 110 is a great pull thru.
TravelerLarge sites, clean pit toilets, in a beautiful, wooded campground adjacent to the Swift River.
Camp host, who’s been there for many years, keeps things clean, organized, and quiet.
Most sites can handle multiple big tents. Plenty of toilet houses and dumpsters available.
The great boulder loop trail is right there. It’s a very short walk to the trail head and it has gorgeous views of the swift river valley with much lower crowds than the major peaks in the whites.
Grab a drink and your chairs and take a short walk on one of the paths to the swift river and hang out a while.
GuideSeems clean and well-kept. Staff in the office are friendly and helpful.
ScoutWe showed up early (10:50 am) and asked to check in prior to the 12 pm check-in time. The owner was working and she told us we could not. I walked over and saw that our site was empty, so my wife asked the owner again if we could check in early as there was nobody there and we had two 16-mo babies who were ready to get out of the car. She then kicked us off the property. This was on a festival weekend with nowhere else to stay, and I told her that. The owner did not care and we had to drive 2 ours home.
