Pawtuckaway's cabins sleep up to six people each, while other properties offer different configurations ranging from small one-room structures to multi-room units.

Kitchen facilities vary widely, from none at all to basic setups with small refrigerators. Fire rings and outdoor grills are common at cabin sites, making outdoor cooking the primary option.

    Pawtuckaway State Park Campground

    Large and friendly park with plenty of water activity opportunities

    My first time experiencing a park in the New Hampshire Park system. We went down with a group. Pawtuckaway State Park offers a variety of landscapes, with something to do and see for everyone. The park includes a large family beach on the lake. There are many opportunities for hiking, with trails leading to many special points of interest, including a mountaintop fire tower; an extensive marsh where beavers, deer, and great blue herons may be seen.

    The park lines the shore of beautiful Pawtuckaway Lake.  The 192 sites are wooded and many provide views of the lake.  Each campsite has an open fire ring, picnic table, flat areas for a tent, and a parking space. The bathhouses are equipped with running water, flush toilets, and 24 hour showers.  There are no hook-ups at any of the campsites. The park also has a camp store where canoe and kayaks are available, as well as a plublic canoe and kayak launch. Five cabins are available; each sleeps six people, has electricity, and includes a fire ring and picnic table. Pets are not allowed in the campground or beach area of the park.

    Winding River Campground

    Fun laid back place. This campground has a lot of potential. Some info on their website and Facebook isn’t accurate.

    I would like to share my experience this past weekend at Winding River in Exeter NH. My family of 3 Stayed at tent site 523 in the Oak area. We also had family at 553 and 554 and Cabin 2.

    About site 523: I clearly had one of the largest and most private tent sites. It was set back with a long driveway tucked between 522 and 524. It’s a very steep drop into the river making most sites a little nerve wracking with a little one. Online it said water available nearby. Most sites had a hookup but there wasn’t a one on my site. It looked like there may have been one to share on the road, but I didn’t end up needing to figure that out.

    Tent sites 522 and 524: Along with most of the tent sites these sites were very close to each other, much smaller and closer to the road. I wished my family members had gotten 552 and 553 as they blended together nicely if you are tenting in side by side spaces. The ground was very rocky making staking tents down difficult. They were right next to the bathroom which was convenient but loud. Ventilation in the bathroom was not good so the doors were propped open much of the time and loud hand dryers.

    Shower:

    • This is the smaller of the two bathrooms in the campground. There are 2 showers there. Each with a single insufficient curtain and no hooks on the wall or bench to place things down. Water was hot enough, pressure was ok if you set it to the high power massage-like setting.
    • The showers in other bathroom (near the town center area) had a door and two curtains. Some had hooks (some of which were broken). I almost tripped going in and out of these bathroom stalls because they are raised up but there is no marking on the ground to indicate that.

    Cabin 2: Ac worked well. There was a good sized bed downstairs, smaller beds in two lofts. I was surprised the couch didn’t pull out. Fridge and all dishes were nice and clean. All the cabins seem to have different back porch setups. This porch was smaller than C1. There was a propane grill that smelled rancid with sooo much caked on The burners. The location of the ceiling fan under the other lights in the ceiling gave them a flashing effect that really bothered me.

    Pros:

    • Lower price compared to other campgrounds (but I don’t feel like I got everything advertised on the website)
    • Two playgrounds, both were nice.
    • Water slide was fun
    • We arrived Thursday at the gate and were told how to get to our site, to set up and then come over to the office which was nice.

    Cons:

    • The river is very low and yucky so none of the boating or fishing advertised was possible. likely causing the massive amount of mosquitos.
    • The whole arcade building was was “out of order”
    • The laundry room had two washers (one was broken) and two dryers 2.50 each per load. Not sufficient for a campground this size (especially when people leave their clothes in the machine for 30 mins after they’re done!)
    • Camp store was poorly stocked (multiple empty coolers).
    • Ice $3 per SMALL bag.
    • Wood $10 per bundle and rules say you can’t bring from off-site. I saw people with huge metal bins of wood but was never offered that option when I payed for multiple bundles.
    • Camp store closes at 3 on Sunday and doesn’t open until 11 am during the week (which is also checkout). This made it a little confusing when I wanted to return the golf cart. They have a small area with icecream that is scooped and maybe a kitchen. I never saw it open but I think the sign said open morning to 12 and then again in the evening.
    • The pool was green and cloudy on day 3. I called the office and was told they had just shocked it and that was a result of the copper. I am not informed enough on pool safety so I opted out of swimming on the hottest day of our stay. My son was bummed.
    • Planned activities were only scheduled for Friday and Saturday, when online mentions “daily”. During adult kareoke there were plenty of kids and really poor wifi (wasting so much time between songs).

    And just to add:

    • Staff I encountered was friendly enough, but It would be nice if they wore shirts to identify themselves.
    • Golf cart was great, but cost more than the site per night.
    • Pedal go-carts were available for rent (I didn’t ask a price).

    Sandy Pines Campground

    Pristine beautiful campground

    This is high end camping! Cleanest nicest bathrooms and showers I’ve ever seen camping. Also fun game areas and a beautiful store which has good food too! The sites are very nice and not too close together. We tent camp but they also offer small cabins which looked adorable and glamping tents. Easy access to local trails and tourist spots. A fantastic campground I hope to return to

    Bear Brook State Park Campground

    Convenient and fun

    The park was easy to get to, only about half an hour from Manchester. It has kayak rentals and a very well stocked camp store, that was close to the camp sites. Our campsite was only about a hundred feet away from the camp store but still felt private.

    Our campsite also had a fire pit and a picnic table which were great.

    The size of the sites varies quite a bit though as well as their isolation, some were out in the open.

    For cell service: ATT seems to have pretty decent coverage but not Verizon.

    Clearwater Campground

    Now Hunter’s Run RV Park

    This is now called Hunter’s Run. Many seasonal campsites more than half the campground. Good site spacing. Store only open limited hours and staff on site only limited hours. Probably due to new corporate owners. Very quiet off season and during the week. No wood available during our visit, 2 bundles locked in cage area but nobody around to purchase from. Bathhouses and showers very clean at lakeside section of campground. Nice clean beach area at the lake. Looks like kayak and canoe rentals. This is on south side of NH route 104 which is a busy road. Some road noise noticed from our location near the lake. Gravel/dirt sites with fire pits ( rocks ) and picnic table. Called office to arrange for site and they called back. Staff very helpful to find a good site and making reservations.

    Boston Harbor Islands State Park Campground

    Peddocks Island, Boston Harbor

    This campground has 6 yurts and 6 tent sites. The yurts have bunk beds, a floor lamp, a table inside, a picnic table outside and a grill. Just getting to the island is a fun adventure. The island is beautiful and has an old fort to explore as well as a lot of Rocky shoreline and trails. You can build bon fires and see gorgeous sunsets. During the day you can take small ferries to a variety of other islands to go swimming or explore. This is a great adventure for kids. On peddocks island there is plenty of drinking water available and a ranger station. These sites book quickly, so you should try to book 7 months to the day in advance. That said, you can also look for last minute openings. I been 3 times and always have a great time. This campground is only open during the summer months.

    Bearbrook Pros and Cons

    Con: Signage is awful! Hard to find park, office and cabins! Once there, Looong drive to both campground and Cabins.

    Pro: cabins are on a remote lake. Perfect for star gazing! Rustic but comfy (beds) cabins. Bring all your own stuff. No electricity, so no lights. Our cabin had a steep path. Others did not.

    Thousand Trails Moody Beach

    Great location friendly staff

    We came in in October, the foliage is beautiful on the “wooded” sites. There are new sites with gravel and no trees as well, we had our choice. The wooded sites are pull through and back in, depending on the row. There are cabins and rentals as well. Fire pits and charcoals grills at all wooded sites. Family friendly facility with a playground. Lounge closed for Covid, pool closed for season. Events and activities are run by management. Great location for beach and stores.

    Red Apple Campground

    Cozy campground with many amenities!

    Friendly staff, very easygoing. Heated bathrooms and hot showers. A heated pool too! Every site has water and electric hookups, a fire pit, and picnic table. Price was a little high, but the location was great and the amenities made it a very worthwhile trip!


Guide to Fremont

Cabin options near Fremont, New Hampshire range from basic rustic structures to more comfortable accommodations with modern amenities. The region offers seasonal access to most cabin rentals from May through October, with weather patterns typically showing warm summers and cool falls. Cabins in this area tend to be set in wooded environments, creating natural privacy between sites.

What to do

Swimming and beach access: Pawtuckaway State Park Campground features both cabins and a sandy beach area where visitors can swim during summer months. "There is a nice stretch of sandy beach at the campground as well as canoes and kayaks for rent," noted one visitor who appreciated the water activities.

Mountain biking trails: The extensive trail system at Bear Brook State Park Campground provides excellent mountain biking opportunities. "Mountain biking is awesome here, can ride right off the campground and onto the trails! Will def be coming back," shared a regular visitor who enjoys the direct trail access.

Seasonal activities: Many campgrounds organize special events during holiday weekends and throughout the camping season. "We went in early May, when it was still a bit cold at night (in the low 40s) and not many people were around," reported one camper about visiting during the quieter shoulder season at Pawtuckaway.

What campers like

Private wooded sites: Wakeda Campground receives praise for its natural setting. "We were overwhelmed by the beautiful massive forest. The campground was splendid with old tall, pine trees everywhere," shared a visitor who appreciated the mature trees.

Camp stores: Most cabin campgrounds maintain on-site stores with necessities. "The convenience store at the campground had essentially everything you would need for a good camping trip," noted a camper at Pawtuckaway who found the store well-stocked.

Water views: Many campers seek waterfront sites for the views and easy access. "The sites on the water book up quickly but they're perfect for fishing and boating. Also, the view!" exclaimed a visitor who secured one of the premium locations.

What you should know

Booking requirements: Tuxbury Pond RV Campground and most cabin rentals in the area require advance reservations, especially for weekend stays. "You do not get a choice during the online booking to choose the campsite to reserve & the site # is not included in the confirmation email," observed one camper about the reservation process.

Bathroom facilities: Cabin campers typically share community bathroom buildings. "The bathrooms are family style. One family at a time," explained a visitor during the 2020 season, noting pandemic-related modifications to standard procedures.

Cabin furnishings: Cabin interiors vary significantly between properties. "Cabins are on a remote lake. Perfect for star gazing! Rustic but comfy (beds) cabins. Bring all your own stuff. No electricity, so no lights," explained one camper about the minimalist offerings at Bear Brook.

Tips for camping with families

Playground access: Old Stage Campground and several other cabin rental locations maintain playground equipment for children. "Kid. Accommodating. Family friendly. Kid infested. Safe. Scenic. Perfect," summarized one parent who found the environment ideal for family camping.

Beach swimming: Many families prefer cabins near swimming areas for summer visits. "The pool and playground were both open and well maintained. We really enjoyed our stay!" reported a visitor to Tuxbury Pond who traveled with children.

Site selection: When booking cabins with children, consider proximity to bathrooms and noise levels. "Walking distance to rest rooms and showers," noted a camper who appreciated the convenient location of their cabin at Old Stage Campground.

Tips from RVers

Site comparison: Calef Lake Camping Area offers both RV sites and cabins, allowing travelers to choose based on their needs. "They originally booked us on a site so small, our tent wouldn't even fit so we weren't going to be able to have a fire because our tent was so close to it. Went to the desk and they switched us to a different site a couple sites down that was much larger," explained a visitor who needed to relocate.

Full hookup availability: Most campgrounds with cabins also accommodate RVs with varying levels of hookups. "Sites dispersed, one lane gravel road, 50 amp and 30 amp power available, large number of full time campers," observed an RVer about the layout at Calef Lake.

Seasonal considerations: Many camping cabins near Fremont have limited availability outside peak season. "We stayed here for a week, our site was large with full hookups and the area was very clean, some sites in other sections are closer together," mentioned a visitor who found adequate space for their RV during an extended stay.
