    Baker Rocks

    Beautiful property, wonderful hosts, clean and private

    Our family of 4 visited Baker Rocks during a very rainy week and still had an amazing time. The campsites are private and spacious, the property is large and beautiful, close to the river. The owners are so kind and accommodating. We stayed 2 nights in the double bell tent with two clean full size beds and a 3rd night in the yurt both were spacious and wonderful, among tall trees and pines. Definitely will be back next summer! They even have animals to visit like bunnies and goats (far away from the campsites).Do bring bug spray, the mosquitoes at certain times of day were aggressive, as to be expected.

    Chocorua KOA

    Great campground, nice sites

    We stayed here during the COVID-19 pandemic and campgrounds were just starting to cautiously open up. There were some rules in place in order to ensure social distancing and reduce risk to ourselves and to the staff. Therefore a lot of the facilities and amenities were not available to us during our stay. No pavilion, arcade, playground, etc. 

    But the point of our stay was just to get away, get outside and have some fresh air and new scenery. 

    The waterfront site we had (site 38) was very nice, it's pretty spacious. The deck had furniture on it and a grill. The campground is well maintained, nice, clean. The furniture was in good shape, the grill was an older weber grill that worked great. Our site had a concrete fire pit, it looks like lots of them had a similar setup.

    Waking up to the sound of the loons in the morning was wonderful. 

    Our site was labeled as a 50 amp connection, but it wasn't, it was 30 amp. So double check that. Most of the waterfront sites are back in, and the only level part of the site is away from the deck and water. My wife wanted to get the camper up close to the deck so our area under the awning was close to that, which meant I had a lot more leveling to do. And when I say a lot, I mean my 5" drive on leveling blocks weren't enough and I had to put them on top of a 2x8 to level the camper out. 

    The wifi actually was decent at this site - I'm surprised because 8 out of 10 campgrounds I go to that claim wifi, its slow and unusable. 

    The firewood was kind of pricey. You get it for $6.50 a bundle if you buy at least 2 at a time. 

    The first 2 nights there were really weird noises that woke us all up. The first night it sounded like a large Diesel engine or something was running in the distance. Kind of a low frequency sound that carried through the campsite and was hard to pinpoint. The second night, it sounded like an electrical short happening right across the street at a campsite. I was never able to figure out the source of these 2 events.

    Ellacoya State Park Campground

    basic but decent RV Park

    PROs: Small and typically quiet (always depends on the neighbors you get) Right on the lake with great views of the mountains Easy access to the adjoining state park beach Always a nice breeze Full hookups (W,E,S) at each site Sites are level and mostly grassy Sites are more spacious than some RV campgrounds we’ve been at

    CONs: Do not have fire rings/grills at sites, although some are available at the waterfront area No Pets allowed Little to no shade No privacy between sites, very open. Showers are currently not in service

    White Lake State Park Campground

    Lakeside Getaway

    A great family campground just South of Conway, NH. Close to groceries, the outlets, plenty of restaurants. Across the street to the North is the fabulous Rosie's Diner, a homey place with amazing food and home-baked bread. Seriously their toast and corned beef hash is awesome. Also just across the street from the entrance to the South is a Dollar General with just about anything a camper could want in a pinch, including beer and hot dogs.

    The camp itself has a store by the gatehouse well stocked with various items (bug spray, skillet, firewood, sunscreen, sodas) and souvenir Tees and Sweatshirts. There is another store on the beach with the candy, floats and toys. They also have charcoal in just the right size to grill on one of the available charcoal hibachis, scattered among the picnic tables on the beach.

    The lake itself is unreal, with the mountains in the background it just feels incredibly peaceful and serene, keeping in mind I mostly visited around dawn and dusk and the Memorial Day clouds and rain kept it pretty low-key. I've seen photos of the beach on hot sunny days in summer and it looks packed with swimmers.

    Sites were fairly standard- dirt floor with gravel packed in around the circle fire rings. We grilled right on the grate provided. Big picnic tables are provided on each site. All sites are wooded with plenty of trees to get a good tarp, and lots of options for hammock placement. Our site 1-32a was huge, and the driveway was a rather steep hill. Our site was not water view but we drove around that area to get a look and they are gorgeous.

    While we were there there were tons of families around. Bicycles are a good idea since the gatehouse is a pretty good hike away from the camping areas, and you need to drop your trash off each night in the dumpsters that are located there. Showers were coin op. Hot, good pressure and about as clean as you could expect during mud season.

    If you arrive between 1 and 8 pm, you check in at the office, but they have a slot for after-hours arrivals.

    No pets are allowed here. Bring your bug spray, citronella candles and smoky firewood- the bugs here are no joke. But if you come prepared you can get by with minimal bites.

    Chocorua KOA

    Small, quiet family campground

    The Chocorua KOA is a great campground with super friendly staff, a variety of sites and lots of activities and things to do for everyone in the family.

    We stayed with two other families on pull-through full hook-up sites 43, 45, and 47. Although we were on the main road, we really enjoyed these sites. They were wooded and in a central location close to the playgrounds, pavilion, beach and nature trails. Site 45 was pretty narrow but the other two sites had a bit more space so we mostly used 43 and 47 to hang out. We especially loved that the pull-through road behind our sites was not a main access road so we had a nice long stretch of road that was just for us. We played games and the kids road bikes without having to worry about cars driving through.

    There are also a lot of really nice tent sites along the water, cabins, teepees, lodges and great areas for groups to camp. They are fairly strict with quiet hours so it is a very quiet campground at night.

    The facilities are nice and clean. The pavilion and fire pit area are a nice place to gather with games and a mining station to enjoy. There are two playgrounds for little and big kids. The bathrooms are quite dated but clean. The pool is freezing cold so the kids didn’t swim much. The beach area is small and not deep enough to swim but the kids enjoyed playing in the sand and water. There are a lot of options for boat rentals- paddle boats, kayaks, canoes, paddle boards, and row boats. There is a beautiful board walk that leads through the marsh to a system of short nature trails. We really enjoyed walking the trails though some need a lot of work due to fallen trees and overgrowth. There were also a lot of free activities for the kids like crafts, wagon rides and games with a full schedule of events. You really never have to leave this campground!

    This is also an incredibly dog-friendly campground with a fun dog park, a special swimming pond just for dogs and doggie day care available. This is one of the most pet loving campgrounds we’ve ever camped in and our pup loved it!!

    We had a great trip and will definitely be back!

    Twin Mountain Campground

    Awesome family spot.

    Stayed the last weekend in June and I was able to book the site 3 days prior. I was shocked there was still availability. Self check-in, no alcohol allowed and quiet hours start at 10:00 p.m. and fires out by 11:00 p.m. Who I believe to be the owners working in the store at the entrance were super friendly and helpful. My site wasn't the greatest (#32) as it seemed to be one of the few that was sort of out in the open and within view of numerous other sites. Not much seclusion but almost every other site seem to be more secluded. The riverfront sights looked absolutely beautiful and some had better/ easier access to the water then others. We had our travel trailer and it was easy to get it in and out and the dump station was conveniently located on the way out as well as the dumpster for trash. There are quite a few tent sites and our site was right near the clean bathroom and showers. We didn't eat there but there's also a pizza place at the entrance too. Everything is within walking distance.

    Will go back again for sure but would look for a river front site next time!

    White Lake State Park Campground

    Your experience will depend heavily on your neighbors!

    A friend and I decided to camp here before a backpacking trip in the Whites, to cut down on morning-of driving time. Our site, #02 on Loop 2, was in very close proximity to all of the neighboring sites. We had children on several sides, and a rowdy group of adult men on another side. Quiet hours are supposed to start at 10:00pm, but our rowdy male neighbors were up, playing music, talking loudly, and singing, until midnight. Then, just when we thought they were ready to settle in, they turned on a headlamp aimed directly into our tent. We are both very experienced car campers and backcountry campers, but even we struggled to get any rest through all the noise and light. The staff drove by a few times in a golf cart but never stopped to encourage this group to quiet down or use a little etiquette/common sense with their headlamp use. It wouldn't have been so much of a problem if the sites weren't SO close to each other. I attached a photo to show just how closely all the sites are situated; that's my backpacking tent, for scale.

    Quechee-Pine Valley KOA

    Typical KOA

    This KOA is what you expect from a KOA– lots of amenities, sites of all sizes and levels of cost, tons of activities, and in a vacation destination area. We spent five nights at the campground and found lots to do in the area and that we had an enjoyable and pleasant stay. 

    The park is a large park that is terraced since it is in a pretty hilly area. There is the range of sites from pull-thrus, pull-ins and back-in sites and can accommodate RVs of any size. Some sites are full hookup while others are not and that is reflected in the cost. We paid $57/nigh for our full hookup site which is pretty costly especially since we did not use any of the amenities. Most sites are gravel with gravel patios but there are deluxe sites with paved patios, patio furniture, umbrella, and gas bbq grill. There are also camping cabins, some of which have kitchenettes and bathrooms that sleep six people. 

    Our site, was located in the back of the park in a quieter section because it was away from most of the activities and park entrance. The site was a pull-in which was kind of nice because the view out of our front windshield was of a wooded area. Our fire pit was in the front of our site so there was a nice amount of privacy when we sat outside by a campfire and didn’t feel like we were on the side of the road. Despite the hilliness of the park and all the trees, we did not have any trouble navigating our 45’ RV to our site. The trees at our site would prevent satellite television reception but our site had cable and we got about 20 or so channels. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Like many KOAs there are tons of amenities and things for kids to do – swimming pool, fishing ponds, bike rental, scheduled activities, propane sales, camp store, fire wood delivery, and more. There is a fenced dog park which was a fairly good size and our lab was happy to chase a ball. 

    As a whole, the park was very clean and manicured. No trash laying around and the gravel roads were free of potholes. The campground is located near the Queechee Gorge, covered bridges, hiking trails (including sections of the Appalachian Trail), good dining, maple syrup/cheese farm, the Marsh Billings- Rockefeller National Historic Park.


Guide to Bradford

Bradford, Vermont camping areas sit between the Connecticut River and the western slopes of the White Mountains, with elevations ranging from 400 to 1,800 feet. Summer temperatures average 70-85°F during day with cooler 50-60°F nights, while spring and fall can drop below 40°F after dark. Most campgrounds in the area operate from mid-May through mid-October with peak season running July through August.

What to do

Hiking nearby trails: At Ricker Pond State Park Campground, visitors can access multiple hiking paths directly from the campground. "The best part of this campground is its access to hiking trails in Groton State Forest - there is an access point right in the park with connections to New Discovery State Park, Big and Little Dear Mountains, the Nature Center and Boulder Beach," explains Tim R., who appreciated the trail connectivity.

Water recreation: Pine Haven offers riverside camping with excellent water access. "The sites near the river are really nice, a big of a steep slope down to the river. The river is about thigh deep and you can easily walk in it/swim at potions," shares Brandon C. The campground provides direct access to water activities during warmer months.

Stargazing opportunities: Limited light pollution makes the Bradford area ideal for night sky viewing. "Dog friendly and quiet campground with goregous views of the milky way galaxy," notes Kelli M. about Big Deer State Park Campground, highlighting the celestial views that campers can experience on clear nights.

What campers like

Private camping spaces: Many campgrounds offer secluded sites that provide privacy between neighbors. "Large, clean sites. Plenty to do with the kids. They love the ship wreck pool! A bit tough on the noise rules. No internet connectivity!!" reports Rick C. about their experience at Moose Hillock Camping Resort.

Clean facilities: Maintained bathrooms and showers rank high in camper reviews. "Bathrooms are clean. Hosts sponsor activities that are fun for all, like a balloon launch, cook outs, etc. Love it there," mentions Melissa R. about Quechee State Park Campground, emphasizing the importance of well-maintained facilities.

Location convenience: Country Bumpkins Campground and Cabins offers proximity to local attractions. "Very close to downtown North Woodstock for great food and drinks, the Flume Gorge, and other great trails," says Ashley, highlighting the strategic location for exploring surrounding areas without long drives.

What you should know

Limited connectivity: Cell service and Wi-Fi are restricted in many campgrounds. "This is a pretty small State Park, so it fills up quickly. The sites on the pond are beautiful if you can get one! The campground has a small beach, boat launch and it's right on the Cross Vermont Trail. I stayed in October and it was really quiet and relaxing. There is absolutely no cell service for miles, so plan accordingly," advises Michele S. about Ricker Pond State Park Campground.

Seasonal operations: Most campgrounds operate on limited schedules. Big Deer State Park Campground is only open "Memorial Day weekend to Labor Day weekend," making advance planning essential for summer visits.

Road noise concerns: Some campgrounds experience traffic sounds. "Big, flat, beautiful sites. Road noise isn't super loud, but it's constant. Might be the nicest bathrooms I've seen in decades of camping," explains one camper about Quechee State Park Campground, noting the trade-off between amenities and ambient noise.

Tips for camping with families

Pool access: Family-friendly facilities include swimming options at select locations. "My young family have camped here twice. Both times were very different experiences, but overall very positive... The pool really is as awesome as it looks. The playground is amazing," notes Jessica W. about her experience at Moose Hillock Camping Resort.

Navigation challenges: Maple Haven Campground offers varied terrain that may require planning. "We camped here early in the season with 2 hammocks and a tent for our dog! They are upgrading the picnic tables and bathrooms. The bathroom closest to the entrance even has outdoor showers. There is a nice creek that runs behind some of the sites but would recommend staying away from the pond," advises Elisha L.

Advance booking required: Popular sites fill quickly, especially water-adjacent spots. "I've been visiting Ricker Pond for nearly 20 years (except for the years that I don't book enough in advance and aren't able to secure a spot for my desired length of stay). My favorite lean to site is directly on the water, private, and fills up fast," shares Neena B., emphasizing the importance of early reservations.

Tips from RVers

Limited hookups: Many campgrounds offer varying levels of RV services. "Primarily for RVs. Combo of seasonal and transient. Excellent services. On ct river w kayaks and canoes," notes Terry C. about River Meadow Campground RV Park, providing a concise overview of available amenities.

Site leveling requirements: Some campgrounds have uneven terrain. "We paid for it a bit. Dogs and kids were EVERYWHERE and neither were well behaved. We heard lots of Massachusetts accents screaming to 'knock it off already!' We also were in the spot right next to the walkway to the bathhouse, so had steady traffic going by. Our site #60 was gravel, back in, 30 amp, full hookup. It was slightly uphill, so we had to pull the RV all the way to the front of the site to be able to level," shares an RVer about their Country Bumpkins Campground experience.

Maneuverability considerations: Tight turns and narrow roads can challenge larger rigs. "It is very close to Lincoln and North Woodstock where the shops and restaurants are located. There are cabins, tent sites and RV sites available," explains a Bigfishdiveclub Camper about Maple Haven Campground, noting the convenient location despite access challenges.
