Best Campgrounds near Piermont, NH

My family and I’s experience at Northstar Campgrounds was disappointing and fell far below our expectations. During our stay, an individual who identified himself as Chad approached us and asked us to be quiet, despite it being approximately an hour and a half before the official quiet hours, which begin at 11:00 PM. Chad claimed that our children were too loud while playing, even though their noise level was a little loud, they were simply enjoying their time at this campground. Additionally, Chad consistently stated in his argument that he heard us by the bridge, which is located roughly 300 feet away from our site. This whole entire excuse was ridiculous as one of my friends, who was coming back from the bathroom(which is about 50 feet), said that our music was barely noticeable and perfectly fine and reasonably within our site. What was particularly frustrating was the timing and tone of the interaction. Approaching guests almost two hours before quiet hours, and implying that the noise was unacceptable at that time, felt unnecessary and overly strict. It created an uncomfortable atmosphere and made us feel unwelcome, especially since we had been respectful of the campground rules prior to this. Additionally, there was a lack of clear communication about the campground's policies and a seeming inflexibility that negatively impacted our overall experience. As a family, we value a relaxed and friendly environment, and this incident certainly detracted from that expectation. Regrettably, based on this encounter, I cannot recommend Northstar Campgrounds for families or anyone seeking a peaceful and welcoming outdoor experience with their kids. We hope management will consider giving their valued guests a more memorable, and fun experience.

This was among the mist beautiful campsites I have ever stayed at. Large sites with space between neighbors. We had enough privacy to open the shade on our big picture window on our tiny teardrop and fall asleep looking at the stars. Download an area map before you arrive, we lost cell service on the way here and couldn’t rely on navigation. Friday and Saturday nights were fully booked. On Sunday, people could drive in and pick a spot. You need cash if you pay at the entrance. Lots of license plates from NH, MA, ME. On Sugarloaf trail, we encountered lots of first-timers and lots of repeat customers.

I stayed here with my boyfriend on a weekend in June 2024. We came on a Friday night and there were no available sites so we slept elsewhere, got up early on Saturday and claimed an available site, pitched a tent and went about the day.

As we were leaving after having pitched our tent, we saw a guy walking the road who instantly I had a bad intuitive feeling about and my boyfriend told me not to worry about it.

After hiking for the day we came back to the site to make food and a fire, etc. After cozying up my boyfriend told me he was going to walk to the stream near by to get some water to put the fire out before bed later…

NO less than 2 minutes after my boyfriend disappeared into the woods, who do you think just so happen to come creeping up to the site while I was left alone? Ah yes, gross homeless guy that I had a bad feeling about that same morning. He started approaching me telling me there was a bear near by and to watch out as if I wasn’t aware there was wild life in the area. I told him to go away and he proceeded to walk to the opposite direction of which he came.

Most people would probably brush this off but I’m certain this man was stalking. For creepy men to have nothing better to do than stalk and bother innocent people just trying to enjoy life is infuriating. Of course this area was beautiful but sadly can’t say I’ll be coming back here and I definitely wouldn’t recommend it for solo female adventurers… Not trying to scare. Just wanted to share my honest experience here to spread awareness.
