Friendly Beaver Campground

Unfortunately, this place is poorly run. The staff appears friendly at first, but if you need any help with anything, they run the other way. I agree with the previous review of the campground being underfunded. I suspect it is intentional so the greedy owner can put more money in his pocket because they charge and overcharge for everything. There are a lot of full-time, year-round rowdies that live and drink excessively here. If you want your kids exposed to that, then go for it. The outdoor pool is way too small for the number of seasonal and short-term guests. If it happens to rain while you're there, then prepare for roads to be 3 inches of mud. There is no gravel or sand on them. Sites are very close together, so there is no privacy. I do not recommend staying here. NH offers many very nice and well maintained rustic and resort style campgrounds. The only positive is decent showers.

When we 1st got there everybody was very helpful be helpful, as th"e days went by seems like they're not so willing to help or accommodate. Family run large clean park, several restrooms and laundry, clean and spacious lot of events for the kids.. Very nice pool area and petting zoo.

We probably won't be going back, if I had children I probably would go back.

Lots of activities, awesome shallow pool for the kids. Ice cream available for purchase. Really big campground though, like you almost need a golf cart to get to certain fields depending on where you get assigned.

(As a Tent Camper)

Let me start this off with there are not many campgrounds I would rate this low. There are a lot of little detractors that add up quickly. 

First, one of the pros, we enjoyed their small but nice petting zoo of a few goats and a horse. Their general store was adequate.

Now some of the cons we encountered. 

The other campers were very loud and ruckus, especially in the safari field with the RVs.

The campsites have VERY little to no privacy, we had to hang up tarps in between us and our neighbor or else we would practically be looking straight at each other if we both had a camp fire at the same time. 

Something I've never encountered before, but our fire pit was not the typical tire ring, it was some other type of ring I've never seen before. It was almost as if it was designed to not allow any air flow for the fire. We thought we were going crazy until our neighbors were having an issue too and had to plug in a hair dryer and every 5 minutes turn it on to keep the fire from going out. And our wood was pretty dry too. 

The pools were very lack luster, they are quite small for the amount of guests in the campground. They get crowded way too fast, we had probably a 2 ft bubble around us in the pool and could not move around at all if we wanted too. The kiddie pool which is 2 ft deep was a waste, it is too big with very little amount of kids who actually use it. 

It was the first time we thought we had actually wasted a weekend camping. Would not return.

Our kids enjoy coming up and spending time with their camp friends. It’s very peaceful up here and I find that it is very much my happy place. The views outside our camper window is amazing. We’re surrounding be trees and it’s breathtaking when surrounded by freshly fallen snow. I’m recovering from surgery for thyroid cancer and it’s definately helped my mood and healing. Something about nature.

Pros: The campground itself is well kept up with, store was great, has plenty of room at the pool, bathrooms are in tip-top shape with free hot showers, Friendly staff & reasonably priced little cafe with decent breakfast ✔️ Cons: The campsite itself was squished in between two other sites so closely that we could hear others in their tent whispering during quiet hours, lol, no trees in between sites whatsoever where we were. You have to pay per device for internet. There were a lot of dogs barking, like a lot, all day off & on and all throughout the night, off and on. Pro & Con: the camper right across from our site @ midnight got into a screaming match with security and he was belligerent, woke my family & lots of other campers up. It took a long time to get back to sleep because he was slamming stuff around on his site & a lot of different dogs, i think including his own, were barking at him. I’m a runner that gets up at sunrise usually every morning. I was disappointed about being so tired the next day. I went to a manager following my morning run & he said they were asked to leave and they will be leaving prior to check out time that day. Manager apologized & asked that we don’t leave. He was very polite & accomodating. Saturday night was MUCH quieter. We poked around the whole campground and found a couple other sites that were a little more spaced out. We will definitely give it another shot next summer.

Mostly seasonal sites. Lots of golf carts and drunks (if that’s your thing, cool). Facilities were nice and clean. We didn’t feel like we were in nature. More like the parking lot of a Kid Rock festival. They charge for EVERYTHING (internet $10 per device). Will not be back.

Sites are nice and the campground is nice and clean.

All everyone does here is ride around in Golf carts with cases of beer and get drunk. Not my scene! It’s a underfunded trailer park.

Mm

ostly seasonal camping.

Love the facilities. Clean, well maintained, private bathrooms/showers. Store is best I have ever seen. Well stocked with everything you could need. Stayed in cabin and tented, as well. Only negative is that there transient RV sites seem crowded, and many are out in open area. I prefer trees, but this wont keep us away from trying out RV sites this year.

This campground was amazing. We went for a weekend and they let us stay later on sunday since it rained all weekend. They have 3 outdoor pools and 1 indoor pool. Lots of activities for the kids and the bathrooms were pretty clean for a campground. We will definitly be back.

We’ve been back her a few times because my girls love it. They have 3 outdoor pools(sports,toddler,regular) plus an indoor pool for rainy or chilly days. They have a few animals the kids can feed. They also have crafts, hayrides and games,playground and other events. Separate and Clean bathrooms with showers. Store has all you need. We’ll be going back again this year.
