Weekend Getaway

We had such a fun time and our dog loves it! The only bad part is we were very far from the bathrooms and tons of mosquitoes. We definitely will be coming back in the near future!

Pretty good campground

Pros: some big sites, family activities, playground, swimming pond that you can canoe in that looked fairly clean. Campsite was on a little creek. Friendly, helpful staff. Quiet nights, easy check-in. Cons: Bathhouse was closed so we had to use Porta potties. They originally booked us on a site so small, our tent wouldn’t even fit so we weren’t going to be able to have a fire because our tent was so close to it. Went to the desk and they switched us to a different site a couple sites down that was much larger. We will return for sure, my husband was on call & had to leave quite a bit, I didn’t go explore the campground while he was at work but next summer we will.

This campground is perfect for a quick escape from southern NH without going too far north! Located in Alton, this quiet family owned campground is a favorite among our group! Lake access 24/7 and secluded campsites, perfect for everyone!

Small but quaint campground

Small campground but we had fun here. Small lake to swim in and a small playground. They had a beach dance which was really fun. We met some really nice people. The staff were really nice, very courteous and helpful. Quiet hours were actually quiet! Which doesn't happen everywhere.
