    Pawtuckaway State Park Campground

    Large and friendly park with plenty of water activity opportunities

    My first time experiencing a park in the New Hampshire Park system. We went down with a group. Pawtuckaway State Park offers a variety of landscapes, with something to do and see for everyone. The park includes a large family beach on the lake. There are many opportunities for hiking, with trails leading to many special points of interest, including a mountaintop fire tower; an extensive marsh where beavers, deer, and great blue herons may be seen.

    The park lines the shore of beautiful Pawtuckaway Lake.  The 192 sites are wooded and many provide views of the lake.  Each campsite has an open fire ring, picnic table, flat areas for a tent, and a parking space. The bathhouses are equipped with running water, flush toilets, and 24 hour showers.  There are no hook-ups at any of the campsites. The park also has a camp store where canoe and kayaks are available, as well as a plublic canoe and kayak launch. Five cabins are available; each sleeps six people, has electricity, and includes a fire ring and picnic table. Pets are not allowed in the campground or beach area of the park.

    Oxbow Campground

    Great campground!

    Wonderful sites that are spacious! Clean, WiFi available, a pond for swimming, playground, free paddle boats :), a recreational hall with a pool table & video games, laundromat. They have lots of fun family activities! We stayed with our parents in their camper for a couple nights and had such a positive experience there! They have 3 separate ponds-one for fishing, one for boating & the larger one is for swimming. Plenty of bathrooms throughout campground and sites are not expensive to reserve. Clean & up-to-date bathrooms with hot showers. Family-oriented with friendly staff. We will be returning, for sure!

    Winding River Campground

    Fun laid back place. This campground has a lot of potential. Some info on their website and Facebook isn’t accurate.

    I would like to share my experience this past weekend at Winding River in Exeter NH. My family of 3 Stayed at tent site 523 in the Oak area. We also had family at 553 and 554 and Cabin 2.

    About site 523: I clearly had one of the largest and most private tent sites. It was set back with a long driveway tucked between 522 and 524. It’s a very steep drop into the river making most sites a little nerve wracking with a little one. Online it said water available nearby. Most sites had a hookup but there wasn’t a one on my site. It looked like there may have been one to share on the road, but I didn’t end up needing to figure that out.

    Tent sites 522 and 524: Along with most of the tent sites these sites were very close to each other, much smaller and closer to the road. I wished my family members had gotten 552 and 553 as they blended together nicely if you are tenting in side by side spaces. The ground was very rocky making staking tents down difficult. They were right next to the bathroom which was convenient but loud. Ventilation in the bathroom was not good so the doors were propped open much of the time and loud hand dryers.

    Shower:

    • This is the smaller of the two bathrooms in the campground. There are 2 showers there. Each with a single insufficient curtain and no hooks on the wall or bench to place things down. Water was hot enough, pressure was ok if you set it to the high power massage-like setting.
    • The showers in other bathroom (near the town center area) had a door and two curtains. Some had hooks (some of which were broken). I almost tripped going in and out of these bathroom stalls because they are raised up but there is no marking on the ground to indicate that.

    Cabin 2: Ac worked well. There was a good sized bed downstairs, smaller beds in two lofts. I was surprised the couch didn’t pull out. Fridge and all dishes were nice and clean. All the cabins seem to have different back porch setups. This porch was smaller than C1. There was a propane grill that smelled rancid with sooo much caked on The burners. The location of the ceiling fan under the other lights in the ceiling gave them a flashing effect that really bothered me.

    Pros:

    • Lower price compared to other campgrounds (but I don’t feel like I got everything advertised on the website)
    • Two playgrounds, both were nice.
    • Water slide was fun
    • We arrived Thursday at the gate and were told how to get to our site, to set up and then come over to the office which was nice.

    Cons:

    • The river is very low and yucky so none of the boating or fishing advertised was possible. likely causing the massive amount of mosquitos.
    • The whole arcade building was was “out of order”
    • The laundry room had two washers (one was broken) and two dryers 2.50 each per load. Not sufficient for a campground this size (especially when people leave their clothes in the machine for 30 mins after they’re done!)
    • Camp store was poorly stocked (multiple empty coolers).
    • Ice $3 per SMALL bag.
    • Wood $10 per bundle and rules say you can’t bring from off-site. I saw people with huge metal bins of wood but was never offered that option when I payed for multiple bundles.
    • Camp store closes at 3 on Sunday and doesn’t open until 11 am during the week (which is also checkout). This made it a little confusing when I wanted to return the golf cart. They have a small area with icecream that is scooped and maybe a kitchen. I never saw it open but I think the sign said open morning to 12 and then again in the evening.
    • The pool was green and cloudy on day 3. I called the office and was told they had just shocked it and that was a result of the copper. I am not informed enough on pool safety so I opted out of swimming on the hottest day of our stay. My son was bummed.
    • Planned activities were only scheduled for Friday and Saturday, when online mentions “daily”. During adult kareoke there were plenty of kids and really poor wifi (wasting so much time between songs).

    And just to add:

    • Staff I encountered was friendly enough, but It would be nice if they wore shirts to identify themselves.
    • Golf cart was great, but cost more than the site per night.
    • Pedal go-carts were available for rent (I didn’t ask a price).

    Autumn Hills Campground

    Family campground

    Pros- very clean, bathrooms kept up with regularly. Staff is very nice. They offer boat rentals, canoes, paddle boats and kayaks. Store on site and they do activities during the week. Definitely more kids friendly I think. They do have a pool, park, dog park, lake and food trucks visits at times. They have community fires and dances. Pet friendly. Wood available on site.

    Cons- loud cars going all night, some lights in your face. Some people tend to fly down the road on golf carts. You can also hear the main road from the open style campsite. No privacy. People will walk threw your tent site. They will talk during the night while doing this, smoking seems to be allowed at pool. No fires between 9am-5pm.

    Overall we had a good time.

    Great Meadow Campground

    Very friendly place

    Everyone is so friendly, they have bathhouses with toilets, showers and laundry facilities. An in-ground pool with a great shallow area for the littles. A pond to fish or kayak or canoe or boat. A pavilion where they hold events or host dj’s etc. on the weekend. And dumpsters on site. Electric (30 and 50amp), water, satellite and cable hookups as well as tank dump hookups at each site. 6 months is only 2300$ + elec. 🤯 open in the winter for $400/mo. + elec.

    Ashuelot River Campground

    Nice ‘n Easy campground

    We stayed for 3 days off season so not busy. Sites located along the river are wooded, field sites are very open great for seeing the stars at night. Sites have fire rings with excellent airflow for good burning with low smoke. Hook ups are in great condition for power, water, sewer. Showers and bath house on site. Laundry and game room at office area. Office staff was very helpful and they’re open later into the day til 7 PM. Good firewood and large bundle delivered for $15 to your site. We passed over this site on our first trip to the area but are glad we came here and we’re planning to return. Follow the website directions to get here as there are covered bridges in the area with low Clearance and low weight limits.

    Friendly Beaver Campground

    Would not come again

    (As a Tent Camper)

    Let me start this off with there are not many campgrounds I would rate this low. There are a lot of little detractors that add up quickly. 

    First, one of the pros, we enjoyed their small but nice petting zoo of a few goats and a horse. Their general store was adequate.

    Now some of the cons we encountered. 

    The other campers were very loud and ruckus, especially in the safari field with the RVs.

    The campsites have VERY little to no privacy, we had to hang up tarps in between us and our neighbor or else we would practically be looking straight at each other if we both had a camp fire at the same time. 

    Something I've never encountered before, but our fire pit was not the typical tire ring, it was some other type of ring I've never seen before. It was almost as if it was designed to not allow any air flow for the fire. We thought we were going crazy until our neighbors were having an issue too and had to plug in a hair dryer and every 5 minutes turn it on to keep the fire from going out. And our wood was pretty dry too. 

    The pools were very lack luster, they are quite small for the amount of guests in the campground. They get crowded way too fast, we had probably a 2 ft bubble around us in the pool and could not move around at all if we wanted too. The kiddie pool which is 2 ft deep was a waste, it is too big with very little amount of kids who actually use it. 

    It was the first time we thought we had actually wasted a weekend camping. Would not return.

    Calef Lake Camping Area

    Small but quaint campground

    Small campground but we had fun here. Small lake to swim in and a small playground. They had a beach dance which was really fun. We met some really nice people. The staff were really nice, very courteous and helpful. Quiet hours were actually quiet! Which doesn't happen everywhere.


Guide to Wilton

Wilton, New Hampshire sits in southern New Hampshire's Hillsborough County at an elevation of approximately 900 feet. This area experiences four distinct seasons with warm summers reaching into the 80s and cold winters dropping below freezing. Most campgrounds in the region operate seasonally from May through October, with several offering glamping options as alternatives to traditional tent and RV camping.

What to do

Swimming in ponds and pools: Autumn Hills Campground offers multiple water recreation options. "They have 3 separate ponds-one for fishing, one for boating & the larger one is for swimming," notes one visitor. The campground also features "a playground, dog park, lake and food trucks visits at times."

Boating and fishing: Pawtuckaway State Park Campground provides excellent water access with rentals available. "There is a nice stretch of sandy beach at the campground as well as canoes and kayaks for rent," reports a camper. The park's layout makes it ideal for water activities as "it's set up of three islands and a large majority of the campsites are right on the water."

Mountain biking: Bear Brook State Park offers extensive trail networks for cycling enthusiasts. A visitor mentioned, "We camped here to check out the mountain bike trails in the park and we're not disappointed on either count." The trails connect directly to the campground, making it convenient to "ride right off the campground and onto the trails."

Free paddle boats: Oxbow Campground provides complimentary paddle boats for guests. "Free paddle boats :), a recreational hall with a pool table & video games," writes one reviewer. The campground features three separate ponds that serve different purposes, offering variety for water activities.

What campers like

Multiple swimming options: Cold Springs Camp Resort stands out for its numerous pools. "Very family centric, 7 pools which (include 2 hot tubs, a small 2x2 pool for kiddos, 1 adult only pool and 3 family pools)," says one reviewer. Another notes the "4 outdoor pools & pretty big campground that has a gated entry/exit that needs a key card pass you get upon registering."

Clean facilities: Campers consistently mention facility cleanliness at several campgrounds. At Oxbow, "The bathrooms are the cleanest campground bathrooms I've ever been to." Similarly, a visitor to The Pine Campground stated, "Bathrooms kept up with regularly. Staff is very nice."

Secluded sites: Campers appreciate privacy at select locations. At Calef Lake Camping Area, visitors enjoy "riverfront secluded areas" and note it's "perfect for a quick escape from southern NH without going too far north!" The campground offers "lake access 24/7 and secluded campsites, perfect for everyone!"

Family activities: Organized events enhance camping experiences. Autumn Hills Campground schedules regular activities: "They do community fires and dances." Similarly, Calef Lake offers special themed weekends; one camper mentioned "kids and adult paint the weekend we were there."

What you should know

Site sizes vary significantly: Many campgrounds feature dramatically different site dimensions. At The Pine Campground, "Most of the daily/weekly sites back up to a stream, which is nice. You can hear the water running, especially at night." However, at Friendly Beaver Campground, a visitor noted "The campsite itself was squished in between two other sites so closely that we could hear others in their tent whispering during quiet hours."

Reservation timing: The most desirable sites book quickly. For Pawtuckaway State Park, "The sites on the water book up quickly but they're perfect for fishing and boating." Similarly, at Willard Brook State Forest Campground, one camper recommends "downloading maps before you head out because cell service is iffy in the area."

Pet policies vary: Some campgrounds charge additional fees for pets or restrict them entirely. Calef Lake is described as "pet friendly" while Pawtuckaway State Park has seasonal restrictions: "They don't allow dogs anywhere in the campground during summer months."

Noise levels: Several campgrounds experience varying noise levels. A camper at Autumn Hills noted "loud cars going all night, some lights in your face. Some people tend to fly down the road on golf carts." This factor may influence site selection, especially for light sleepers.

Tips for camping with families

Look for multiple recreation options: Friendly Beaver Campground offers diverse activities for children. "They have 3 outdoor pools(sports,toddler,regular) plus an indoor pool for rainy or chilly days. They have a few animals the kids can feed. They also have crafts, hayrides and games,playground and other events," writes one parent.

Consider bathhouse proximity: When camping with children, bathroom location matters. At Calef Lake, one camper mentioned, "The only bad part is we were very far from the bathrooms." For convenience with young children, request sites closer to facilities.

Scout for playgrounds: Several campgrounds offer dedicated play areas. At Oxbow, there's "a pond for swimming, playground, free paddle boats" while Cold Springs provides "organized bingo, hayrides, large pools."

Check cancellation policies: Weather can affect family trips. One camper at Friendly Beaver appreciated flexibility during inclement conditions: "This campground was amazing. We went for a weekend and they let us stay later on sunday since it rained all weekend."

Tips from RVers

Site access challenges: Some campgrounds have narrow roads that complicate RV navigation. At Cold Springs, a reviewer noted the grounds are "nicely landscaped although the roads are very narrow. Made it hard to back in our spot." Consider requesting pull-through sites when available.

Hook-up placement: At Autumn Hills, a camper staying at "site 14 needed a very long sewer hose." Pack extension hoses and electrical cords to accommodate varied utility placements.

Entry assistance: First-time RVers should request help. One visitor at Calef Lake Camping Area observed that "Staff was friendly, helpful" making it easier for newcomers. Some campgrounds like Oxbow provide guidance to your site: "Staff assisted to guide us into our space. 25' travel trailer, full hookups."

Site levelness: RVers should inquire about terrain. At The Pine Campground, "Sites are nice and the campground is nice and clean," while at Oxbow, sites are described as "spacious" with "flat sites" that make setup easier for larger rigs.
