    Jellystone Park™ Glen Ellis

    Read before booking

    PLEASE READ BEFORE GOING We went to Jellystone Park at in Glen NH. We originally booked from Sunday to thursday. We left on Tuesday due to several issues with the cabin that the office staff refused to fix. Issues we had was 1. Cabin was filthy and had bugs inside. 2. Stove top wasnt working. 3. Fridge smelled so bad I had to wash it with warm water and dish soap. 4. Our cabin reeked like cigarettes to the point I couldn't bath my kids because when the bathroom got steamy the smell got sooo bad. I tried to adress the issues and was told they had a no smoke policy so its not their issue if it smelled because they did their part in putting a policy down. For it being filthy I was told they trust their cleaner so it qas me that made it filthy..(attached is one picture that I have this is just the bathroom on our first day their. Everything was covered in dirt, sand and soo dusty and bugs everywhere). I first spoke to James who yelled and was saying ridiculous excuses as to why its ok. Then the manager(dont remember name but she was older and blonde hair) screamed at me while I had my 2 year old with me. I was telling her calmly and very nice my concerns to which she was yelling to get out of the office. Then I was threatened to have the cops called if I complained again. I lost alot of money I cant afford to loose. But most important I was want to make people aware. I told them the website should state these things to be fair cause if I knew this i wouldn't have paid since they said its normal for stoves not to work and its out of their controll if someone smokes in the cabin. They said no one would stay if they posted those things. I left litterally shaking and crying because I couldn't believe it. They are nice if you dont complain. Discusting customer service horrendous management. Will be reporting everywhere already let my friends know so they dont go next year.

    Quechee State Park Campground

    Beautiful, road noise, not a lot there

    Big, flat, beautiful sites. Road noise isn't super loud, but it's constant. Might be the nicest bathrooms I've seen in decades of camping.

    The weird thing is that there just isn't much here. The Quechee Gorge, best accessed from the back of the lawn behind the bathhouse, is the deepest in Vermont.. which is kind of like saying the best bagel or most populous city in Vermont. Prepared to be whelmed.

    It's a ~30 minute hike, you can access some slow semi-rapids at the bottom.

    Camping at the SP does give access to another trail that's moderately challenging and has both some level spots and a nice overlook.

    Don't regret the trip at all but it seems more like an awesome stopover than a worthwhile destination. Some decent restaurants in the area and even more in nearby Lebanon/White River Junction.

    Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park™ Camp Resort, Lakes Region

    Downhill since new management

    Yogi’s Jellystone Park– Milton, New Hampshire: Seasonal Camper Review I have been camping at Yogi’s Jellystone Park in Milton for five years, including the last two as a seasonal camper. Unfortunately, my recent experiences under new management have been disappointing and frustrating. Pet Fence Policy and Safety Concerns
At the start of this season, the new general manager, Amanda, instructed me to remove my pet fence, citing liability issues. Despite my having signed a waiver absolving the park of responsibility for my dog’s actions, she insisted on its removal without providing a clear explanation. I complied reluctantly, only to observe many other campsites retaining similar pet fences throughout the season, including one seasonal camper who kept theirs up all season and transient sites with fences as well. This inconsistent enforcement of rules is unfair and undermines trust. After seeing others with pet fences, I reinstated mine to protect my dog, especially after two incidents where loose dogs entered my site and charged at my dog. Amanda then threatened me with non-renewal of my seasonal contract if I did not remove the fence again, forcing me to comply once more. I wrote to corporate regarding this issue since Amanda was of no help but never heard back from corporate. Loss of Seasonal Site and Corporate Decisions
Yogi’s removed nine seasonal sites this year, including mine, with little warning. This decision affects long-term campers, some with over 20 years of history at the park. It appears motivated by corporate interests, favoring transient sites or cabins, which generate more revenue. The loss of a seasonal site after investing time, effort, and money into making it beautiful is deeply disheartening and reflects poor management priorities. Entertainment and Atmosphere
Adult entertainment offerings have drastically declined. This year’s highlight was a 30-minute Saturday night hayride, with no live bands in the pavilion throughout the entire season. Under previous management, live music was a regular and enjoyable feature. The lack of engaging activities diminishes the overall campground experience. Myself and other campers offered suggestions to management regarding entertainment for adults but they didn't take any of our suggestions. Bear Interaction
Despite the park’s theme, sightings of Yogi Bear are rare. On one occasion, a golf cart carrying excited children stopped to see Yogi Bear, but the character ignored them and drove past without interaction, which was very disappointing. Management and Staff Attitude
Amanda, the general manager, presents as unapproachable and aloof. She did not introduce herself to seasonal campers at the beginning of the season, many of whom do not even know what she looks like and the camping season ends in just a couple of weeks. Most staff members also exhibit a snobbish attitude, often failing to acknowledge campers, which creates an unwelcoming environment. Cost and Recommendation
The campground is overpriced relative to the quality of experience and level of service provided. Given the inconsistent rule enforcement, loss of seasonal sites, diminished entertainment, and poor management attitude, I cannot recommend Yogi’s Jellystone Park in Milton NH Those interested in a Yogis campground should consider other locations.

    Storrs Pond Recreation Area

    Okay

    Stayed here on a Sunday night in late September. It was very quiet and peaceful. Tent sites were hilly/uneven and extremely far from the toilets and bathhouse. Bathhouse is old and run down. The shower curtains were covered in mildew so we decided not to shower. We were just here overnight and did not make use of the other recreation facilities.

    Meredith Woods Four Season Camping

    Now called HUNTERS RUN Rv Park

    Good spot, lots of seasonal campers, new corporate owners and it’s named Hunter’s Run RV Park. Combined with another campground across the street. Called for reservations and staff helpful once they answered. Store and office hours are erratic. FireWood supply “iffy” so brought some locally sourced food. Camped at Lakeside area.


Guide to Belmont

Camping opportunities in Belmont, New Hampshire expand beyond established campgrounds into the surrounding Lakes Region of central New Hampshire, which sits at elevations ranging from 500 to 900 feet. The region experiences distinct seasonal variations with summer temperatures averaging 70-85°F during peak camping season, making water activities particularly popular from June through August. Winter camping requires specialized gear and preparation as temperatures frequently drop below freezing from December through March.

What to do

Boating access: Silver Lakes Park Campground in Belmont offers convenient lake access with boat launching facilities and equipment rentals. "Silver Lake Park Campground and Cabins was an incredibly well maintained campground off Jamestown Road in Belmont NH. This is a very clean, quiet, gated campground, with easy beach access for the kids (and launching space for pontoon or bass boats)," notes Kirsten J.

Mountain adventures: Gunstock Campground in nearby Gilford (7 miles from Belmont) provides direct access to mountain recreation. "I was lucky to receive a tranquil, secluded spot next to a brook - perfect. This campground has nothing to do, or plenty you can do - walking, hiking, biking, and close access to all Gunstock's adventures," reports Carolyn S.

River activities: For campers seeking flowing water activities, several options exist within 20 miles of Belmont. "The river offers a beach and tubing without having to drive anywhere; the water was on the low side late in the season, but there were still people tubing," explains Jean C. about Lazy River Family Campground in Epsom.

What campers like

Year-round options: Unlike many seasonal facilities, several campgrounds near Belmont maintain winter operations. "We stayed for a winter weekend, they have a few transient sites that can accommodate RV's year round. There are a ton of full time seasonal RV's as many people use this campground as a base for snow machining," shares Andrew P. about Meredith Woods Four Season Camping.

Clean facilities: Cleanliness receives consistent praise across multiple campgrounds. "Squeaky clean - and that's not always easy especially in the winter when everyone drags snow, slush and mud into the bathroom. Thank you for sticking to such high standards," commends Mara S. about Meredith Woods.

Peaceful environment: Quiet atmosphere rates highly among campers visiting the best places to camp near Belmont, New Hampshire. "Very well kept and quiet grounds. The lot I was in was not wooded but still quiet. Check in was quick and friendly. All other guests were friendly as well," writes Ryan F. about Gunstock Campground.

What you should know

Reservation requirements: Most campgrounds within 20 miles of Belmont require advance bookings during peak season. "Our site was nice and level, right next to a river (with free canoe use!) and even had hammock trees," explains Molly G. about Epsom Valley Campground, which accommodated a last-minute booking.

Site variations: Campsite quality and privacy vary significantly across and within campgrounds. "This campground overall is very nice. Most of the sites are out in the open though, or very close together. I recommend the sites back in Breezy Knolls (K01-K17 I think?) and then I believe sites 203 and 205 were nice and tucked away in the trees as well," advises Melissa B. about Gunstock Campground.

Accessibility considerations: Some campgrounds have challenging terrain or access roads. "My biggest complaint is the narrow roads in the campground. The location is great, and the campground does seem to have quite a bit to offer," notes Kasey M. about Paugus Bay Campground in Weirs Beach.

Tips for camping with families

Indoor alternatives: Clearwater Campground in Meredith offers indoor facilities for poor weather days. "The indoor pool on the other side of the road at the sister campground Meredith Woods (both campgrounds accessible for campers) was splendid. I love the idea of being able to go swimming even if the weather is a bit crummy. Good size pool too with hot tub," explains Brandon C.

Playground options: Some campgrounds offer better playground facilities than others. "The camp has some seasonal full timers and many transient sites. I stayed with my sons Boy Scout troop and we loved it. Boys rode around on bikes, facilities were clean," reports Andrew P. about Granite State Campground in Belmont.

Beach areas: Lake access varies in quality and safety for children. "The lake beach was fantastic, very nicely maintained," shares Brandon C. about Clearwater Campground, while another camper notes, "Brent and Dee offer both wifi and laundry facilities available to campers, and while most campers are seasonal campers, they do offer around 10 overnight sites for both tent campers and RV's."

Tips from RVers

Site levelness: Many RVers report variable site conditions. "Large campsites, clean amenities, nice dog park, great store with everything you need and located near like Winni," states Ryan P. about Gunstock Mountain Resort, though other campers note some sites require careful leveling.

Hookup access: Water and electric placement can be challenging at some locations. "We pulled in and went right to the office. The man was very nice and gave us a map to our tent site. We bought some wood from the campground. The tent site has water, electric, and a fire pit. They brought us a picnic table to use for the night," shares Jeremiah C. about Granite State Campground.

Access roads: Harbor Hill Camping Area receives positive reviews for RV accessibility. "Has all the hook-ups you need with free wifi and cable TV. Quiet, clean with super clean bathrooms and showers. The camp is well maintained," writes David D., while Pat adds, "Sites were okay with trees all around. Most of the sites were seasonal sites. Sites are easy to get in to with an RV and level."
