Campers with dogs appreciate the spacious sites that easily accommodate multiple tents and vehicles while providing enough room for pets to relax without disturbing neighbors.

ScoutIt was dark. I arrived after 7p. There were 3 rv camps already going on. All 3 had camp fires. Many fire rings for many groups. No hassles at all. It's off the beaten path but worth it. The first 4 camp sites were open. Made a fire. Ate some food. I got a good night sleep. Nothing ate me or attacked me so that's 5 star in my book.
ScoutThe 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😂
ScoutWe were visiting family around Nashua and needed somewhere to park the RV nearby. Berry’s Grove ended up being a really good fit. We could come and go easily and still have a nice place to relax at the end of the day.
ScoutWe 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.
ScoutWaking up with the lake right outside the camper never got old. We would have breakfast, sit by the water for a while and then head out to explore the area.
ScoutWe have a big RV and had no trouble getting settled in. Having the full hookups made things super easy, especially for a longer stay.
ScoutOur dog loved it here. We spent alot of time outside and there was enough space around the campground for him to get some exercise too.
TravelerGorgeous pond filled with lily pads!
TravelerNice and peaceful spot with a trail that leads to a brook in the woods! Beautiful fall leaves throughout property
