Great family owned campground!

What a fun place to stay. Dedra, Eric, Andy and the Family are great people. Made you feel at home. "Thank You! The place is well kept and maintained. We stayed the month of July and loved it. Really nice wooded "tent" sites as well. Pool was open and lots of people were in it. Great little store to get things if you don't want to make the drive 14 miles away to the nearest box store. There is so much to do in the area, it was a great home base for us. There is plenty of Hiking, Biking, Kayaking or just drive around and take in the sites of the area. We even took a ride up the "Cog Railway to Mt. Washington. I have some Blogs about them all at Allaboutyourbike.net. WiFi worked good. Tv reception was wonderful. Lots of channels. Come stay awhile and have fun. We did!

Nice campsites and campground, facilities were our main complaint

Visted this campground for 10 days.  Overall  very good experience.  

Pros: 

- Nice staff! They were very willing to work with our change in plans, and were even willing to call other future campers of our site to accommodate our extension. 

- Site are mostly good, at least what we could visualize.  Some complaints that some sites weren't level, but ours was acceptable.  

- Pool had many visitors, very family friendly. 

- Lots of kids over the weekend, again, family friendly. 

- Wash and Dry were only $1 each!!  That just seems reasonable based on so many campgrounds charging double and triple that. 

Cons: 

- Bathrooms/factilites were main reason for 1 less star.  Women's had extremely weak water flow.  Men's rooms had half the facilities "out of order".  Physical construction weren't amazing, but still ok.  I say this, because the facilities might simply be seen as less than optimal to some.

Right place, but expensive.

This spot was located near Mt. Washington, which was what we needed, we booked late so we ended up here. It’s fine, full hookups, decent in and out, probably great views when it isn’t foggy. We found that the USFS park at Dolly Cobb had MANY open sites, the website just didn’t know it. So, if you want full hookups, this is the place. If you want close to Washington, there are other options.

Great campground, fabulous location

Jefferson Campground is located near the intersection of Routes 2 and 115 in the White Mountains. The new owners have made major improvements since the spring of 2019 when they took ownership. The RV sites have full hookups and the tent area is tucked into a wooded area with wild apple trees. There is onsite laundry, a pool and a playground. WiFi and Verizon signal were good. Everyone we dealt with was friendly and helpful. Groceries are available in Lancaster, a 15-minute drive. There is also a good brewpub there, the Copper Pig. We love to hike, so this was the perfect location for us. So many trails in the area! We are looking forward to visiting this area again and will definitely return to this campground.
