    Baker Rocks

    Beautiful property, wonderful hosts, clean and private

    Our family of 4 visited Baker Rocks during a very rainy week and still had an amazing time. The campsites are private and spacious, the property is large and beautiful, close to the river. The owners are so kind and accommodating. We stayed 2 nights in the double bell tent with two clean full size beds and a 3rd night in the yurt both were spacious and wonderful, among tall trees and pines. Definitely will be back next summer! They even have animals to visit like bunnies and goats (far away from the campsites).Do bring bug spray, the mosquitoes at certain times of day were aggressive, as to be expected.

    Oxbow Campground

    Great campground!

    Wonderful sites that are spacious! Clean, WiFi available, a pond for swimming, playground, free paddle boats :), a recreational hall with a pool table & video games, laundromat. They have lots of fun family activities! We stayed with our parents in their camper for a couple nights and had such a positive experience there! They have 3 separate ponds-one for fishing, one for boating & the larger one is for swimming. Plenty of bathrooms throughout campground and sites are not expensive to reserve. Clean & up-to-date bathrooms with hot showers. Family-oriented with friendly staff. We will be returning, for sure!

    Quechee-Pine Valley KOA

    Typical KOA

    This KOA is what you expect from a KOA– lots of amenities, sites of all sizes and levels of cost, tons of activities, and in a vacation destination area. We spent five nights at the campground and found lots to do in the area and that we had an enjoyable and pleasant stay. 

    The park is a large park that is terraced since it is in a pretty hilly area. There is the range of sites from pull-thrus, pull-ins and back-in sites and can accommodate RVs of any size. Some sites are full hookup while others are not and that is reflected in the cost. We paid $57/nigh for our full hookup site which is pretty costly especially since we did not use any of the amenities. Most sites are gravel with gravel patios but there are deluxe sites with paved patios, patio furniture, umbrella, and gas bbq grill. There are also camping cabins, some of which have kitchenettes and bathrooms that sleep six people. 

    Our site, was located in the back of the park in a quieter section because it was away from most of the activities and park entrance. The site was a pull-in which was kind of nice because the view out of our front windshield was of a wooded area. Our fire pit was in the front of our site so there was a nice amount of privacy when we sat outside by a campfire and didn’t feel like we were on the side of the road. Despite the hilliness of the park and all the trees, we did not have any trouble navigating our 45’ RV to our site. The trees at our site would prevent satellite television reception but our site had cable and we got about 20 or so channels. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Like many KOAs there are tons of amenities and things for kids to do – swimming pool, fishing ponds, bike rental, scheduled activities, propane sales, camp store, fire wood delivery, and more. There is a fenced dog park which was a fairly good size and our lab was happy to chase a ball. 

    As a whole, the park was very clean and manicured. No trash laying around and the gravel roads were free of potholes. The campground is located near the Queechee Gorge, covered bridges, hiking trails (including sections of the Appalachian Trail), good dining, maple syrup/cheese farm, the Marsh Billings- Rockefeller National Historic Park.

    Autumn Hills Campground

    Family campground

    Pros- very clean, bathrooms kept up with regularly. Staff is very nice. They offer boat rentals, canoes, paddle boats and kayaks. Store on site and they do activities during the week. Definitely more kids friendly I think. They do have a pool, park, dog park, lake and food trucks visits at times. They have community fires and dances. Pet friendly. Wood available on site.

    Cons- loud cars going all night, some lights in your face. Some people tend to fly down the road on golf carts. You can also hear the main road from the open style campsite. No privacy. People will walk threw your tent site. They will talk during the night while doing this, smoking seems to be allowed at pool. No fires between 9am-5pm.

    Overall we had a good time.

    Beautiful for fall foliage

    This campground was great. Quiet, great fire pits, clean bathrooms, firewood and starter for sale plus access to day use area. The lake next to the campground is beautiful and has plenty of picnic tables and grills for use. Close to hiking trails and the city of Bennington.

    Ashuelot River Campground

    Nice ‘n Easy campground

    We stayed for 3 days off season so not busy. Sites located along the river are wooded, field sites are very open great for seeing the stars at night. Sites have fire rings with excellent airflow for good burning with low smoke. Hook ups are in great condition for power, water, sewer. Showers and bath house on site. Laundry and game room at office area. Office staff was very helpful and they’re open later into the day til 7 PM. Good firewood and large bundle delivered for $15 to your site. We passed over this site on our first trip to the area but are glad we came here and we’re planning to return. Follow the website directions to get here as there are covered bridges in the area with low Clearance and low weight limits.

    Quechee State Park Campground

    Great kid friendly campground near it all

    Clean and quiet, good for kids and pets are welcome. There are 2 bathrooms with coin operated showers. There are sites for campers, tents, and a handful of lean tos. It’s a short hike down to Quechee Gorge, where you can cool off in the shallow water.

    It’s very close to Quechee village and Woodstock so there are plenty of other activities, shopping, and dining options near by.

    Rangers also run fun programs for children- my children churned butter and made popcorn over the campfire one night, and made tie dyed T-shirts the next (for no fee.)

    Pets are welcome.

    Friendly Beaver Campground

    Would not come again

    (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.

    Ashuelot River Campground

    Nice quiet weekend

    We took our new to us hybrid camper out for its inaugural trip.

    We chose to stay in the wooded loop of the campground and we were very happy with our site, #66. That section has about 12 sites, some big and some on the smaller side. Our site was easy to back into, even more so since no one was in the site across from us. Our site was very spacious, level and included a picnic table, fire ring, and nicely placed hookups for water and electric. We had easy access to trails that went along the river behind some of the sites with a few paths down to the river.

    Everyone we encountered was friendly and respectful. There are quiet hours from 10pm-8am that are enforced. We were grateful to not have to hear loud partying going on into the night. There was car noise from nearby Rt 10 on the other side of the river, but nothing you can do about that.

    We asked for assistance at the office with our first time using a pumping station at the end of the trip. We were given friendly helpful assistance and some great tips and advice for the future.

    This was a nice enjoyable first visit for us. We will definitely be adding it to our list of places to visit again, but likely later in the year when we can enjoy the river and activities a bit more. We did not explore the options for bike, kayak, and canoe rentals but would like to in the future.


Guide to Charlestown

Camping options near Charlestown, New Hampshire range from waterfront sites along the Sugar River to forested campgrounds in the Green Mountains. The region sits at approximately 500-900 feet elevation with summer temperatures averaging 75-85°F during peak camping season. Winter arrives early in this area, with most campgrounds closing by mid-October as temperatures drop below freezing.

What to do

Kayaking the Ashuelot River: Rent kayaks directly at Ashuelot River Campground for an easy paddle. "Great riverfront location. Huge sites and a very helpful owner. What more could you want?" noted Wayne B. The river offers both calm paddling and gentle floating opportunities.

Hiking Mount Olga: The 1.7-mile round-trip trail starts directly from Molly Stark State Park Campground and leads to a fire tower with mountain views. "The trails from the park connect to the Hogback Mountain Conservation area trails, so there are actually many miles of trails you can explore without having to drive anywhere," explains Tara S.

Swimming in Emerald Lake: The turquoise waters at Emerald Lake State Park are ideal for cooling off on hot summer days. "Nice lake for canoeing with trails from the camping area. Family friendly with semi private sites," reports Gary C. The lake features a sandy beach area with changing facilities nearby.

What campers like

Riverside campsites: Sites along water edges provide both scenery and recreation access. "We spent another great weekend at the Ashuelot River Campground... We took a lazy tube ride from one side of the campground to the other," shares Rae-Ann W., highlighting the relaxed water activities even during drier periods.

Clean facilities: Woodford State Park Campground consistently receives praise for maintenance. "The bathrooms were the cleanest campground bathrooms I've ever seen!" reports Jenny A. Multiple reviews mention well-maintained shower facilities, though most require quarters ($0.25 for 8 minutes at some locations).

Diverse accommodation types: From tent sites to yurts, the area offers various shelters. "Camped here Labor Day Weekend in our 40 ft 5th wheel. We had a pull thru site. Easy to drive into the campground and into the site," notes David about Caton Place Campground, which also offers yurt options for those seeking yurt camping near Charlestown, New Hampshire.

What you should know

Seasonal limitations: Most campgrounds in the region operate from May through mid-October. "We recently purchased a new-to-us camper and wanted to get in a trip or two before putting it away for the winter," mentions Rae-Ann W., highlighting the limited camping season.

Reservation requirements: Popular yurt rentals and premium sites book quickly. "This is a popular camp ground so reserve as early as 11 months before arrival," advises Ming R. about waterfront accommodations.

Road noise at some locations: Quechee State Park Campground sits near Route 4, which impacts some sites. "Road noise isn't super loud, but it's constant," notes camper B. Similar conditions exist at Molly Stark, where "It is near Route 9 so not much quiet during the day, but at night it's great."

Tips for camping with families

Look for recreation programs: Many parks offer structured activities for children. "Rangers also run fun programs for children - my children churned butter and made popcorn over the campfire one night, and made tie dyed T-shirts the next (for no fee)," shares Jen B. about her family's experience.

Choose sites away from drop-offs: Emerald Lake has challenging terrain for young children. "Many of them are perched on a steep ledge, making them a bit sketchy for families with kids. If you have little ones, check out the map before you reserve a site," recommends Tara S.

Kid-friendly yurt options: For families seeking sheltered yurt camping near Charlestown, New Hampshire without pitching tents, Woodford State Park offers good options. "There are tons of different types of campsites with either tent spots, lean tos, and a few (hard to get) cabins," notes Sambath T., adding that it's "perfect for families!"

Tips from RVers

Check covered bridge restrictions: The routes to some campgrounds have low clearance points. "Follow the website directions to get here as there are covered bridges in the area with low Clearance and low weight limits," warns John L. about accessing Ashuelot River Campground.

Consider site angles: Some pull-through sites have challenging approaches. "You have to go down a small hill and bottom out the front and then drag the backend out of the dirt. This campground is not big rig friendly," cautions Jim B. about one location, highlighting the importance of researching access before arrival.

Firewood delivery services: Several campgrounds offer convenient delivery. "Firewood order arrived within minutes with a big smile and even took a few minutes to chat with my young son," noted Kevin Ó. about his stay, while another camper mentioned "Pallets of firewood are delivered to your site and reasonably priced."
