Family oriented!
Perfect stay if you have kiddos and dogs! There’s a playground, arcade, and beach. They offer kayak and canoe rentals. We grabbed a tent site for 3 days and it had water and electric! You get a picnic table and fire ring

Perfect stay!
It is beautifully quiet here! We are at site 2 and it’s right on the water! Good space in between sites. Lots of privacy! The light breeze coming off the mountains is absolutely perfect! Will definitely be coming back!

Moosehillock review
Campground is giant which causes it to be very busy. Little to no activities for kiddos. The pool is the main attraction and really great but gets very very busy. No one was controlling the slides so kids were going down in multiples and not making sure no one was at the bottom. The campground is very hilly and kids are ripping around in pedal and motorized bikes and scooters which is fine but no control at all in regards to speed and helmets. No WiFi or cell service except by the pool which can be hard if you need to be contacted. Cable tv at sites was available and intermittent quality. Sites are ok - nothing that I would say was amazing. All are spacious and generally shaded and flat. You can see all your neighbors but noise level wasn’t terrible. There were a lot of dogs - again totally fine but many barked all day when their owners were away. Bathrooms needed attention and got a bit gross by the pool. On site poolside cafe was ok - basic fried items and ice cream. Golf carts are kind of a must if staying in far away sites and they are very slow - no issue there but no power steering. Staff were very nice and helpful. I would stay again if I had more off site things planned.

Nice store, relatively quiet, not super private
Stayed here overnight before day hiking at the nearby falls. Seemed a little expensive for what it was, but mostly tranquil. A few trees separate sites. Friendly staff made a point to find me a level site. Nice bathhouse including outdoor kitchen washing area. Connects to trail network.

Overall Great Campground
Great campground, clean, friendly owners, excellent customer service. The location could not be any better for access to attractions in the area!
Melanie P.TravelerWhite Lake State Park Campground
Love it but could use improvements
I’ve stayed here a few times and love the location and access to White Lake. However here are some things that could use improvements:
- bathrooms are a little dirty and for the condition, unfair to have to pay for water
- tent site are way too close together, not much privacy
- quiet hours are not honored here, fails to feel family friendly sometimes. My first trip I was next to partygoers and they played heavy metal, cussing, and drinking late into midnight.

Simple Camping in a great location
There are 15 tent sites along the water, and a quick walk from the parking area. There is no running water, only a porta potty but it was great for a place to stay the night while exploring the white mountains

Great camp ground
Stayed in water and electric spot via tent. There are a lot of different spots. Ours was very secluded, but could hear passing cars which is fine.
