Great view on the river from the cabin
My family and I stayed in cabin 1 and had a direct view on top of the Pemi river. On site managers were very helpful. Will be back!

Forest Glen
Forest Glenn campground
Forest Glenn campground is a very nice campground on Wheelwright pond in Lee New Hampshire! Not well kept up but makes you feel like you’re still camping and not glamping ( glamorous camping ) besides some of the very nice campers here with 2 stories on them! Anyway cutting to the chase, just to let any new comers know that are looking for camping in the Lee area if you so choose to camp at forest Glenn depending who you are or how you approach this place dictates if you will have to feel like your stepping on eggshells your entire stay… the owner is a angry Drunk who is sometimes very nice to others or very nasty, and I personally mostly see him being nasty. A couple years back I wanted to look at the campground to see if this would be a place I wanted to stay at so I walked into the office and asked them if we could look around and the lady was in the process of writing us a pass to drive through. This man comes in and said whats going on so I politely told him that we were interested in his campground and we wanted to look around. He completely flipped out said he doesn't understand, said his campground is his back yard, we can't allow this how would you like if I just walked around your back yard etc etc.... yelling at us the whole time and spitting while screaming and then told us to get out of his sight…. This place mind you is overrun by golf carts and I have heard of incidents where people get hit by them because who cares about the posted 5mph speed limitations if your in a golf carts right? Right! And CLEARLY this place is a Double standard place so you will not be treated equal… and as far as I know this place has secret people who camp supposedly working at camp like the manager and security and the plumber or electrician who look like their helping but while helping they gather information about you to spread it around to others or to cause problems with you and the owner!! Oh how thoughtful… one Morning I was in the office and the owner pulled me into the rec room to have a talk with me about my string lights suggesting I shut them off at night and I’m not allowed to use them anymore. I said “sir why would I do that there are 50 other sites with spot lights and string lights Who are these lights bothering that I need to take them down for? “ he said use them inside the trailer I don’t want to see them on again! “ now tell me how that makes any sense… so I shut them off and it became like a minefield on my site at night with no lights while the campers down a different street get to have theirs on. There is no privacy at this place, things keep going missing, and the sites are packed like sardines with no room for Jesus. There are also people staying here over winter and it’s a seasonal campground tell me how that makes any sense. Anyway definitely an experience to be at where drama hits too close to home and the golf cart parking spots are rolling a little to close to my feet. “ oh sorry my foot slipped “ #welp time to search for another place. Seems to be a trend with almost every campground. Angry owners who automatically cause problems or can’t run their own business place without drug addicts for help ( to say the least me and my wife WILL NOT BE COMING BACK )
Sandra P.ScoutHarbor Hill Camping Area
Best Seasonal Campground in the Lakes Region!
This is a great campground to be a seasonal at! 1 mile from a beautiful beach on Lake Winnipesaukee. 1 mile from town with cute shops and nice restaurants. Friendly staff. Seasonals are very friendly and welcome new seasonals. Campground is taken care of. It is family owned and they really care. I love the fact it is all seasonal- it has a wonderful community feel.
Will S.ScoutBarn Door Hostel & Campground
Incredible comforting vibe
Have been here twice, both end of season and beginning of season. The owners/operators are attentive, caring and engaged. Facilities are above par, the location is about the best you can get, highly maintained and they have Goose, probably one of the best dogs ever. Do yourself a favor and stay here... nights around the fire up in the whites in a safe and welcoming place are beyond description.

Crawford Notch Campground
Wanted to love it
Pros: Cleanliness, spacious sites, location,
Cons: will change your site for no reason, I booked site 43 and 44 they ended up giving my site 43 to someone else when they could have accommodated them at another site (mind you 3 more sites were available that day) - I actually paid for my site, I just feel like it’s a total crooked way of charging people and upon arrival your desperate to set up and they just threw this info at me stating that they changed my site. So disrespectful and rude and they don’t refund!
They charge extra for “lock in” site, not worth the money or the headache, they need better management. Showers are near the entrance (very long walk) or you’ll have to drive to the bathroom

Helpful staff
The staff was friendly. Don't forget the flashlight. There is very little lighting to find your way around the winding roads of the campground which adds to the charm.

Great state park
This is a beautiful state park at the base of Mt ascutney. The campground is lovely. Forest Ed and beautiful fall colors in October. Good facilities. Friendly staff. Some noise from the interstate but not terrible. There is a 3.7 mile road that is extremely steep but paved, and goes to the summit of the mountain. Less than 1 mile hike from there to the observation tower. Great views. Lots of hiking trail trails.

Great stop on any trip
Clean, good facilities. Price has gone up to $38 a night. Got there close to the time the rangers left for the night, Nick was really kind to make sure I got situated before he left. Walking distance from the antique mall which is a stop everyone should make as well as good food and pizza right nearby. Great spot to stop at on any trip

Guide to Hill
Campsites near Hill, New Hampshire offer year-round options with several locations open during winter months. The region sits at the southern edge of New Hampshire's Lakes Region where elevations range from approximately 500 to 700 feet above sea level. Winter camping facilities frequently maintain heated restrooms and shower buildings to accommodate cold-weather visitors.
What to do
Swimming access: Clearwater Campground offers affordable equipment rentals for water recreation. "Kayak rental was super cheap and easy to do!" noted one camper who also appreciated the well-maintained beach area.
Hiking nearby: Mountain trails surround many camping areas, with access points often within a short drive. "We explored the grounds & noted some sites that were a smidge more secluded and plan to return again sometime!" remarked a visitor to Gunstock Campground, where guests can "walk to hike Gunstock."
Off-season activities: Several campgrounds maintain indoor facilities for colder months. "Snow ploughing happens regularly and reliably," reported one winter visitor who enjoyed indoor amenities when outdoor activities weren't possible.
What campers like
Indoor amenities: Many campgrounds supplement outdoor recreation with indoor options. "Indoor pool and hot tub on the other side of the road at the sister campground Meredith Woods was splendid," mentioned one visitor appreciating all-weather recreation.
Site spacing: Some campgrounds offer more separation between campers. A visitor at Ames Brook Campground noted, "Site 27 is very large, near a cute babbling brook... Easily fit our large tent, screenhouse, area to park our truck and still move around comfortably."
Cleanliness standards: Bathroom facilities receive particular attention from reviewers. "Squeaky clean - and that's not always easy especially in the winter when everyone drags snow, slush and mud into the bathroom," noted one winter camper.
Proximity to towns: The location allows for convenient resupply and dining options. A visitor to Harbor Hill Camping Area appreciated being "just a mile away from downtown Meredith where you can do all kinds of stuff."
What you should know
Off-season changes: Winter operations differ significantly from peak season. "We stayed for a winter weekend, they have a few transient sites that can accommodate RV's year round," explained one camper noting the reduced availability.
Site selection considerations: Some campgrounds have varying site types with significant differences. "If you do not get a site near the docks to enjoy the view, I could see this camp ground not being worth it," advised a visitor to Paugus Bay Campground.
Management transitions: Several campgrounds have undergone ownership changes affecting operations. "New corporate owners and it's named Hunter's Run RV Park. Combined with another campground across the street," reported one visitor noting modified operating procedures.
Deposit requirements: Some facilities implement specific payment policies. "Must provide a $10.00 refundable cash deposit for gate card, bring cash or else enjoy the atm fees," warned one visitor about procedural details.
Tips for camping with families
Playground considerations: Facility design varies significantly between locations. "The playground was bigger, and height smaller. Not a structure for small children," commented a visitor about age-appropriate equipment.
Recreation options: Entertainment amenities differ substantially across campgrounds. "They have a nice game room for them kids or grown ups that struggle to leave technology behind. They also have a nice little play ground witch is always the first thing my little buddy asks to go find," shared a visitor to Newfound RV Park.
Age restrictions: Some facilities implement specific age policies. "The age limit for hot tub is 14 YO and strictly enforced," reported a visitor about recreation area rules.
Nature exploration: Many locations feature on-site natural features. "A fun plus to the campground was the nature walk and stream on the property. This was a great place to take our dog for a quick walk," wrote a visitor describing accessible outdoor activities.
Tips from RVers
Leveling challenges: Site construction varies significantly between campgrounds. "Lot was not level. Lot was roomy," reported one RV owner succinctly describing site conditions.
Road considerations: Internal campground roadways can present navigation challenges. "My biggest complaint is the narrow roads in the campground," noted one RVer about maneuvering difficulties.
Winter accommodation: Some facilities specifically prepare for cold-weather RV camping. "There are a ton of full time seasonal RV's as many people use this campground as a base for snow machining," explained a winter visitor to Davidsons Countryside Campground about the popularity of winter motorized recreation.
Hookup access: Utility connections may not always align with RV designs. "Water hook up was on the opposite side of the site of where the camper needed to be," reported one visitor about infrastructure layout challenges.
