Muddy, Crowded Mess

Muddy, messy campground. Feels crowded with lots of people here for the summer tubing. Poison Ivy all around the water hookup. If you stay, make sure it's for the river.

Motorcycle camping

Next to river and had a major flood this spring. I was tent camping on motorcycle and tent site are on dirt due to flood. Tent Site consists of picnic table. No water or sewer or electrical. $43 a night and bring quarters for shower. Clean restrooms and showers but I feel way over priced for what was offered. Should have looked for alternate.

Great Campground!

We stayed at this campground so that we could float down the Saco river and back to our site! The first day and a half we stayed the campground was flooding due to heavy rains. The staff here were great and gave us a free nights stay. Once it was sunny the sites all drained quickly and it was so much fun. This campground is close to the river and has multiple beaches and spots to explore. There’s a playground for kids and a laundry room. You do have to pay for showers here, but they are a fair price. When you rent a tube to float they shuttle you up the river and you can go at your own pace and return the tubes whenever you float back to your site. Overall this is such a fun campground to stay at.

30’ & Under

Reserved a pull through site (site 60) over the 4th of July for a couple nights with our 36’ 5th wheel. Make sure your GPS app directs your to the correct address!!! Heavily wooded campground on the Saco River, with beach access. The pull through was very narrow, uphill and sandy with many tall mature trees on either side. Leveling was a challenge. Many renters with rafts, lots of cars parked nearby. Many warnings (potential of eviction notice given at check-in) of quiet time and cleanliness posted, but there were loud fireworks nearby at night. Office staff was very friendly. Water pressure good, 30 amp full hookup, no TV air channels, no cable. WiFi was decent. Leaving our site at check out took 20-30 minutes with 3 people helping spot and asking many campers to help by moving vehicles. Very pretty place, but would not recommend for large campers. It’s a nice campground, but not suited for large campers.

riverfront beauty

The Beach Camping Area was a nice wooded camp ground right in Conway off a main road but very quiet, no traffic was head at night. It was not the most private campsite I have been to but the camp sites (at least what we saw) were very spacious so you could create your own area however you’d like. The owners were nice and check in was very easy, they also gave you plenty of pamphlets upon checking in so you could seek out local attractions. Each site had electric and water hookup and wifi was available. The bathrooms were very clean and the garbages were changed often. The best part about this campground was that there is a plethora of sites right on Saco River and it is just beautiful. We were not lucky enough to snag one of these spots but we will definitely try to get one at some point. Those sites might be crowded during the day as everyone flocks to the beach but in the evening it would be very nice to have the view of the river as the sun goes down! We arrived late and then hiked Mount Washington all day the following day and stayed again until checkout. It was a bit noisy pay 830 am so if you like to sleep in, be prepared. Other than that I cannot comment on the campsite during regular working hours. Overall we had a great stay at this campground!
