Chocorua KOA, located about 20 minutes from Bartlett, offers pet-friendly cabins with dedicated dog amenities including a dog park and dog pond. Most campgrounds operate seasonally from May through October, though a few locations like Ammonoosuc Campground remain open year-round. Umbagog Lake State Park features remote cabins accessible only by boat for those seeking more seclusion. Advance reservations are essential during summer months when cabin rentals fill quickly, especially on weekends. One reviewer noted of Gunstock Campground, "Our family stayed in the cabins and they are nicely situated for privacy. Rustic and no AC or bathrooms but clean and nice little porch."
Most cabin rentals provide beds but require guests to bring their own linens, pillows, and towels. Kitchen facilities vary widely, from basic fire rings to full kitchenettes with refrigerators and microwaves. Visitors should check specific cabin listings for cooking equipment, as some provide only minimal utensils while others offer more complete setups. Firewood is typically available for purchase at campground stores, along with basic groceries and camping supplies. For more extensive grocery shopping, North Conway and Conway offer supermarkets and outdoor supply stores within a 15-20 minute drive from most Bartlett area cabin locations. Bringing flashlights, extra blankets, and insect repellent is recommended regardless of cabin type or season.

LegendThis is a great campground for families! Conveniently situated for skiing, climbing, hiking and leaf peeping. Amenities include; swimming pool, dog park, horseshoes, arcade, disc golf, basketball and more! They also have a propane fill station. As KOA’s go, you will pay for these amenities, but you get a lot of bang for your buck.
TravelerWe come to this campground every year to hike a few 4000+ mountains. Typically we come in the fall. There are several full hook up rv sites, some without sewer and several spots for RVs near the river. While the pizza shop (Celli's) is closed for renovations right now, we love their pizza and fries. The bathrooms are decent and there is hot water!
TravelerQuiet campground experience. Very cheerful staff member. Ice Cream shop is a bonus. We found a secluded spot without reservations. Monday evening. Some sites are tight for larger RVs but our Class B Camper Van fit fine.
GuideThis is one of our “go to” campgrounds when in NH. Super clean and good mountain biking.
ScoutPark is nestled in the woods with a lot of activities outdoors. Walking trails for people and dogs. Great laundry, bathrooms, office/store, cafe. The roads into the sites are tight but they guide you. We have a 30’ trailer and 20’ truck, I wouldn’t bring a trailer longer than 35’ in unless you are really good in tight spaces. Site 110 is a great pull thru.
TravelerLarge sites, clean pit toilets, in a beautiful, wooded campground adjacent to the Swift River.
Camp host, who’s been there for many years, keeps things clean, organized, and quiet.
Most sites can handle multiple big tents. Plenty of toilet houses and dumpsters available.
The great boulder loop trail is right there. It’s a very short walk to the trail head and it has gorgeous views of the swift river valley with much lower crowds than the major peaks in the whites.
Grab a drink and your chairs and take a short walk on one of the paths to the swift river and hang out a while.
GuideSeems clean and well-kept. Staff in the office are friendly and helpful.
ScoutWe showed up early (10:50 am) and asked to check in prior to the 12 pm check-in time. The owner was working and she told us we could not. I walked over and saw that our site was empty, so my wife asked the owner again if we could check in early as there was nobody there and we had two 16-mo babies who were ready to get out of the car. She then kicked us off the property. This was on a festival weekend with nowhere else to stay, and I told her that. The owner did not care and we had to drive 2 ours home.
Scout⭐**Gunstock Campground: Apparently Your Reserved Site Is More of a Suggestion**
I don't believe I have**ever** left a negative Google review. I generally think that when something goes wrong, you contact the business, give them an opportunity to make it right, and most businesses are genuinely interested in doing exactly that.
Gunstock Campground has cured me of that quaint notion.
I reserved a full-hookup campsite for two nights. I was unable to make it there the first night, but arrived shortly after 7:00 a.m. the next morning. The camp store, where registration takes place, wasn't open yet, so I headed out for my planned hike— about six miles through the Belknaps, including summiting Rowe twice and Gunstock.
By the time I returned, I was utterly exhausted, starving, and actually feeling weak. My ambitions for the afternoon were modest:**eat something, take a shower, and collapse at the campsite I had paid for.**
The staff at the camp store greeted me warmly, checked me in, and sent me on my way.
I drove to my site. There was already a camper in it. Not merely*parked* there, mind you. They had apparently moved right in. They were hooked up to**my site's water and electric**, with water spraying from their ill-fitting hose connection and forming a rather impressive puddle underneath the camper.
I returned to the camp store to report that someone had apparently activated Gunstock's new**"Choose Any Site You Like"** camping plan. A staff member went down to speak with them and came back to tell me they were "packing up." Excellent! My mistake was assuming" packing up" meant**leaving**. It did not.
Apparently these campers had actually reserved a site**two rows away** that had**no water or electric**. Yet somehow, sometime after arriving the previous night, they had accidentally found themselves two rows over, in my clearly different site, connected to utilities their reservation didn't include.
We've all made mistakes. I've occasionally parked one space away from where I intended. I've never accidentally parked**two rows away, hooked myself up to someone else's electricity and water, and spent the night.**
But perhaps I lack imagination.
After they had now consumed about an hour of my afternoon— which, incidentally, is an hour I normally bill at attorney rates— I went back toward my site expecting to find it finally vacated.
And it was! Because Gunstock had moved these folks to another site**two spaces away from me**, apparently allowing them to pay for the upgrade they had already been test-driving. So the people who knowingly or unknowingly occupied my reserved full-hookup site, used the utilities, and delayed me from getting into the site I paid for were rewarded with...a nearby full-hookup site.
They never walked over to apologize. At that point, I no longer felt comfortable staying. It's difficult to relax at a campground when you've just discovered that site assignments appear to operate somewhat on the honor system— and that when someone helps themselves to your reserved site and utilities, management's solution is apparently to make sure *they* remain comfortably accommodated nearby. So I left. On my way home, I called Gunstock and asked for a refund. Surely, I thought, this would be the easy part. After all, I had paid for two nights, hadn't used the first, couldn't get into my site when I arrived for the second, waited while unauthorized occupants vacated it, and ultimately left because the entire experience had become so unpleasant.
Nope. Instead, the staff member **defended the other campers**. I was told they arrived late and "mistakenly" took my site. I was even told they supposedly **hadn't used the utilities**. This was particularly fascinating information for me to receive because **I PERSONALLY SAW THEM HOOKED UP TO THE WATER AND ELECTRIC.** I also took photographs. Including the enormous puddle underneath their camper from the leaking water connection. But apparently my eyewitness account and photographs were no match for the alternative version of events.
For my inconvenience, however, Gunstock did give me a coupon for a **free Bavarian pretzel**. So there is that.
I paid for a full-hookup campsite. Someone else occupied it and used the hookups. I lost roughly an hour waiting to access what I had reserved. The other campers were accommodated with an upgraded site nearby. I left because I no longer felt comfortable staying. And when I asked Gunstock to make the situation right, they refused to refund me and instead argued with me about things **I had personally witnessed and photographed**. The most disappointing part isn't that another camper took my site. Campers can behave badly. Businesses can't control everything their customers do. **What a business CAN control is how it responds when that happens. ** Gunstock had every opportunity to turn this into a mildly annoying story about a camping mix-up. Instead, they turned it into my first negative Google review.
But hey... **I do have that free pretzel coupon.**
Camping cabins near Bartlett, New Hampshire sit within the Mount Washington Valley, with elevations ranging from 680 to 1,000 feet above sea level. Winter temperatures often drop below freezing, while summer days reach comfortable 70-80°F ranges, making seasonal camping preparations essential. Most cabin rentals in the area provide electrical outlets but require campers to bring their own bedding, cooking utensils, and personal items.
Tubing on the Saco River: During summer months, rent tubes and enjoy the gentle current at Eastern Slope Camping Area. "The river is right there and you can splash around in it," notes Matt R., who visited specifically for Saco River activities. The campground provides convenient river access with two separate beaches.
Mountain biking trails: Access numerous trails directly from Moose Brook State Park Campground, located 30 minutes north of Bartlett. "There are also many hiking trails in the park and a ton of great mountain biking terrain in the park and accessible from the park. The local Coos Cycling Club maintains the trails and is constantly improving and creating more terrain," explains Sarah C.
Winter activities: While many campgrounds close after October, Moose Brook trails remain open year-round. "While the campground is closed in the winter, the trails are open to fat biking, snowshoeing and cross country skiing," reports Sarah C., providing options for off-season outdoor recreation near cabin rental locations.
River access and rope swings: Saco River Camping Area provides direct river entry points popular with visitors. "The camp sits on the saco river and offer swimming, canoeing, rope swinging and fishing depending on when you there," explains Daniel S. Their shuttle service takes campers upstream for float trips that end right back at the campground.
Dog-friendly accommodations: Pet owners appreciate designated amenities at Chocorua KOA, located about 20 minutes from Bartlett. "This is an incredibly dog-friendly campground with a fun dog park, a special swimming pond just for dogs and doggie day care available. This is one of the most pet loving campgrounds we've ever camped in and our pup loved it!!" reports Erin M.
Secluded wilderness camping: For those seeking more primitive cabin experiences, the White Mountains offer backcountry options. "Sometimes if you take a little hike into the woods and look around, you find a sweet camping spot for the night," describes Sarah C. about her experience in White Mountain National Forest. These remote sites require proper Leave No Trace practices.
Height restrictions for RVs: Some covered bridges limit access to certain campgrounds. "Covered bridge has 7.9' height restriction from the main scenic highway. We had to go out to Conway and drive back in," warns Jae H. about Covered Bridge Campground.
Wildlife considerations: Bears are active in the area, requiring proper food storage. "They circled our camper at night. It was incredible to watch. Of course we never left any food out!" reports Liz S. about her experience at Glen Ellis Family Campground. Many cabins provide secure storage options or bear boxes.
Seasonal water access: Stream water sources can dry up in late summer. "There is a small stream to pump water from but it is seasonal," notes Asher K. about backcountry options. Cabin campers should confirm water availability when booking during dry periods.
Activity schedules: Jellystone Park Glen Ellis provides extensive children's programming. "It was Christmas in July week, and they had so many events planned for the week. Included in your stay is Mini golf, shuffle board, the Waterpark, hayrides, movie night, magicians and more," shares Iris A., highlighting the range of included activities.
Water features: Select cabins near water amenities for built-in entertainment. "We loved the river and playground! Staff were awesome," notes Stacey about her family's stay at Lost River Valley Campground. Many families appreciate the natural swimming options when temperatures rise.
Quiet hours enforcement: Be aware that staff strictly monitor noise levels after designated times. "The security people have been extremely aggressive to us... The woman got right in our face yelling at us and telling us that she wasn't leaving until the fire is out including the coals," reports Jeremy P. about his experience at Danforth Bay, highlighting the importance of following campground rules.
Leveling challenges: Many waterfront cabin and RV sites require significant leveling equipment. "The only level part of the site is away from the deck and water. My wife wanted to get the camper up close to the deck... which meant I had a lot more leveling to do. And when I say a lot, I mean my 5" drive on leveling blocks weren't enough and I had to put them on top of a 2x8 to level the camper out," explains Michael K. about his stay at Chocorua KOA.
Road width limitations: Access roads to some campgrounds can be narrow. "There is about a 1/2 mile that is mostly one lane (with a drop off on one side) and if someone is coming decisions have to be made," notes Norma S. about Covered Bridge Campground, indicating the need for careful driving when towing or in larger vehicles.
Cell service variability: Connectivity varies significantly by location. "Very spotty Verizon cell coverage and no TMobile service at all. Better coverage for both carriers near the top of the boulder loop trail," reports Jae H., providing useful information for those needing to stay connected while at their cabin.
