The recreation hall was a nice surprise. We had some rainy weather one afternoon and the kids were able to play games while we relaxed for a bit. Saved the day honestly😂

Oxbow Campground and Cold Springs Camp Resort, both within driving distance of Hancock, stand out for their well-appointed glamping options in New Hampshire's picturesque countryside. These glamping campgrounds feature elevated canvas accommodations with real beds, electricity, and private outdoor spaces where guests can relax after a day of exploration. Oxbow's glamping sites are situated near a fishing pond with paddleboat rentals and offer a perfect blend of outdoor immersion with modern comforts. "The bathrooms are the cleanest campground bathrooms I've ever been to," noted one visitor, highlighting the resort-style amenities that distinguish glamping from traditional camping. Cold Springs takes luxury camping even further with climate-controlled accommodations, upscale linens, and thoughtfully designed interiors that create a distinctive woodland retreat experience without sacrificing comfort.
The glamping experience at these New Hampshire destinations extends well beyond comfortable accommodations. Multiple swimming areas include seven pools at Cold Springs Camp Resort, with dedicated adult-only sections and hot tubs creating a spa-like atmosphere uncommon in outdoor settings. A recent visitor mentioned, "So many amenities, you just couldn't get bored if you tried to." Weekend activities range from organized family events like hayrides and crafts to more sophisticated options like wine tastings for adults. The proximity to Hancock's charming downtown provides glampers with access to local dining, while on-site cafes at both locations offer convenient meal options without leaving the property. Booking well in advance is recommended for premium glamping accommodations, especially during the peak season from May through October when these boutique camping experiences are in highest demand.

Spend A Few Days
We came up looking for a campground where we could actually spend a few days without constantly driving somewhere. Ended up fishing, swimming, walking along the river and exploring the area. The campground gave us plenty to do, but it was also nice having the option to just sit at the campsite and do nothing. Would definitley come back.

A Longer Stay
We have a big RV and had no trouble getting settled in. Having the full hookups made things super easy, especially for a longer stay.

Really Convenient
Nothing beats sitting by the river after a long day of exploring. We visited a few places around the Lake Sunapee area and this was a really convenient home base.

Entire Trip
We brought the kids and they found plenty to do. Between the pool, river and recreation area, they were pretty much entertained the entire trip.

Around The Fire
First time camping in this area and we really liked it. The pool kept the kids busy and we spent the evenings around the fire.

Our Favorite Part
The Sugar River was our favorite part. We spent a good amount of time down by the water and the kids loved cooling off there.

Peaceful
Love this place. We were the only ones there during a weekday visit in October. It’s incredibly peaceful with wooded sites and the lake is just gorgeous with the fall foliage. Bonus that they deliver firewood to the campsite. My only wish and I wouldn’t knock a star off because we were literally the only ones there is I wish they didn’t lock the showers. I would have loved to have a shower but the office was closed and I wasn’t able to find anyone to unlock a shower. Just be prepared and bring your dude wipes 🤣 Other than that amazing place.
