Along the River Campground

Not for tenting

Before staying at this campground, consider the following: 

1. The campsite is directly on route 302, the traffic noise, particularly the long-haul trucks, is constant and makes it impossible to sleep(you are that close to the road and there is no woods, trees or sound a barrier of any kind, to absorb the sound) 

2. There are no woods, no place to collect kindling, no way to start a campfire 

3. Campfire grates are available, for rent 

4. The sites are separated by a single thin line of trees, so minimal privacy 

5. The campsite ground is uneven 

6. The sites are not raked, so there are small rocks and pebbles everywhere 

7. There are street lights on route 302 directly across the road from the campground, so it never gets totally dark 

7. You may feel like you are tenting at a truck stop rather than camping at a campground 

We reserved site R04 and when we arrived realized it was too small for three adults, two tents, and two dogs, so we rented R05 upon when we arrived. We left the next morning because of the noise and lack of"camping atmosphere." When we talked with the woman in charge, and said we would be leaving, she said"sorry". When i asked if she could compensate us, even for one of the six nights, she said"sorry you already checked in." I could have had a better experience camping in my background. However, we were lucky enough to get a campsite at Lost River Campground in Woodstock, NH. A beautiful, peaceful, campground, that cares about is guests and their overall experience.
