Play Games

The recreation hall was a nice surprise. We had some rainy weather one afternoon and the kids were able to play games while we relaxed for a bit. Saved the day honestly😂

Spend A Few Days

We came up looking for a campground where we could actually spend a few days without constantly driving somewhere. Ended up fishing, swimming, walking along the river and exploring the area. The campground gave us plenty to do, but it was also nice having the option to just sit at the campsite and do nothing. Would definitley come back.

A Longer Stay

We have a big RV and had no trouble getting settled in. Having the full hookups made things super easy, especially for a longer stay.

Really Convenient

Nothing beats sitting by the river after a long day of exploring. We visited a few places around the Lake Sunapee area and this was a really convenient home base.

Entire Trip

We brought the kids and they found plenty to do. Between the pool, river and recreation area, they were pretty much entertained the entire trip.

Rented A Cabin

We rented a cabin and honestly it was perfect for what we needed. Spent the days exploring around Lake Sunapee and came back here to relax at night.

Our Favorite Part

The Sugar River was our favorite part. We spent a good amount of time down by the water and the kids loved cooling off there.

Spent Several Days

We spent several days here during the summer and had a really good experience. Some days we stayed busy swimming and exploring, while other days we barely left our campsite. That was probably what we enjoyed most.

Really Enjoyed

Really enjoyed the setting at Crow’s Nest. There are lots of trees and having the Sugar River running alongside the campground gives the whole place a nice New Hampshire feel. We were mostly looking for somewhere to disconnect for a couple of days, cook outside, fish a little, and enjoy being away from home. Crow’s Nest was a great fit for that.

Always Nice Coming Back

What we liked most about Crow’s Nest was being able to choose between doing absolutely nothing or heading out and exploring. One day we stayed around the campground, went swimming and relaxed by the river. The next day we got out and explored more of the Lake Sunapee area. It made a really good home base and it was always nice coming back to our campsite at the end of the day.

Kids Stayed Entertained

We brought the kids here for a few days and they had a blast. Between swimming, exploring around the campground, and just riding around and making friends, they always had something to do. For us, it was nice being able to actually relax while the kids stayed entertained. We cooked at the campsite most nights and spent the evenings around the fire. Great family trip.

Our Favorite Part Of Staying

The Sugar River was probably our favorite part of staying here. There is something really relaxing about waking up, making coffee, and being able to walk down by the river first thing in the morning. We spent our days fishing, hanging around the campground, and exploring the area. Crow’s Nest has a classic New Hampshire campground feel and we would definitely come back.

Most RVs, not a lot of privacy

90% of the campers are RVs here. They have sites along the river and a more wooden tent area as well. We stayed at the wooded tent area. I wish camp security would patrol more often as some campers would play excessively loud music throughout the weekend.

The river sites are pretty close together with little privacy.

Weather did not permit us to try all the activities such as the pool and river.

The site delivery of buckets and pallets of wood are a nice service. Owners are quite nice, I talked to them briefly.

As a tent camper, I greatly appreciate the outdoor sinks for dishwashing at the bathrooms.

Overall, a relatively good campground with some minor issues that can be resolved.

Mostly RVs but nice sites along the river

Mostly seasonals and Rvs but there are some nice spots by the river. Most sites do not have much privacy, but the campground itself is very quiet and clean. Sites 66 & 55 seemed to be the most private. There's nice little swimming area on the river for kids. Close to the Sugar River Rail trail for biking. Definitely not a wilderness experience, but pleasant.
