We did the yurt for 2 nights. Man was it amazing. The north country and wandering back roads to find cool waterfalls and lakes. Everyone at the campground was super nice, from John the park manager to other campers, spent one night hanging with another yurt group checking out the views from their spot over cold beers. The fire tower at the top allows perfect views of the area
Guidethe sites were all very private, the yurt was great, the bathroom was just a pit toilet

We had an amazing family camping trip to Mountain Lake Campground. This is definitely one of those campgrounds that has something for everyone. All of the attractions of the White Mountains plus all of the amenities you could ask for in a campground. There is a heated pool with water slides that even adults can enjoy, a lake for swimming and boating with rentals available, activities for the kids, a playground and giant life-size checker/chess boards, clean bathrooms/showers, and they can even deliver blueberry muffins and hot coffee to your campsite in the morning (which worked really well for us on the morning we checked-out because we were able to pack up the kitchen the night before!).
We camped in a large group and stayed in yurts, cabins, the tee pee and tents/trailers. Everyone was happy with their stay. The rental units were clean and some of the cabins even had bathrooms/kitchenettes. The sites were spacious and wooded. We booked late and weren't all together but we didn't mind walking.
Some even went to Santa's Village while other went hiking in the mountains or hung at the campground. We had an awesome stay and can't wait to go back.

Clean, quiet, friendly and full-featured campground in northeastern Vermont
Guide
It's exactly what you look for in a vacation, peace and tranquility, breath taking views of Vermont with a perfect lake at your feet! We will definitely stay here again our family loved it!
Guide
It's hard sometime to get away from all the people in Vermont but this park is far enough out of the way where you can avoid a majority of the summer tourist. I was able to take advantage of this and go on a relaxing hike my girlfriend and our dog.
GuideI've found my place of peace and tranquility and it's where I'd like to reside eventually, our stay here was to short for the beauty we found at the park. The lake had to be the most pure and pristine lake in Vermont, the park, trails, lake and community all make this and rememberable trip that'll always have you wanting to come back for more!
LegendWe brought our friends to this remote park in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont. This park offers many outdoor recreational opportunities. We were able rent kayaks and explore the lake. Many looons and other waterfowl were spotted as well. The park also has a nice hiking trail that scales part of the lake. Because it is so remote from civilization we were also able to relax in our spacious and semi secluded sites.

This is a county park in what Vermonters call the Northeast Kingdom. The campground sits on Lake Memphremagog overlooking downtown Newport. The park covers 35 acres with 75 campsites and many amenities that you would expect in a public park like tennis courts, playground, disc golf course, basketball court, shuffleboard, horseshoe pits, walking paths, and bike and boat rentals. Campground amenities include 50-amp, water, sewer, laundry, free showers and restrooms, and free wi-fi.
Prouty Beach Campground is in a great location to downtown Newport and there is a biking/walking path to downtown which is about a half mile away. Since the campground is close to downtown and Newport is a fairly small town, you are close to restaurants, and stores.
During our stay, there was an ongoing summer camp for kids which was a little annoying. While the kids were not in the campground, we constantly heard them and they used all parts of the park. because of the noise, their use of the beach and other parts of the park.
Our electric was problematic. Granted it was hot while we were there (in the high 80’s and low 90’s) our electric pedestal showed readings between 110 and 115 volts which was constantly cutting off our air conditioners. Even though our generator is set to automatically come on, we did not leave our dog unattended just in case that safety measure failed. They kept saying someone would come by to replace the breaker but that never happened. At least the weather cooled off so the electrical grid was not as taxed.
The park website needs to be updated to accurately reflect the degree of electricity. Despite what the website says, all campsites have 50 amps. The office hours are weird and we could never get a hold of anyone despite trying calling at all times of the day and varying days. Even during our stay, we noticed the office hours are more hit or miss than regular, The campground was very clean. The staff used push mowers and weed whackers to cautiously cut grass around campsites. There was no trash laying around and every morning we saw them rake beach grass and debris along the beach so it was very clean for swimmers.
GuideThis is an RV campground w a handful of tent spots. We stayed at T4, a site w electric right on the lake. I was initially very excited to be so close to the lake but my enthusiasm waned a little after a swim- the lake bottom was murky sticky mud which is fine it’s just not my favorite. My fiancé went swimming and got a leech or leech-like thing on his foot so swimming for him was pretty much over. Being at the lake meant a lot of noise from others including the campers that use the facility, I mean like actual camp, like groups of kids and counselors. I don’t mind kids but others might. It was the usual kid squealing and stuff. When we arrived a counselor was using our site and picnic table, spilling cheese-it’s all over the place which made us popular with the many many seagulls. She left when she saw us pulling in but left the mess behind so the birds were an issue. They continued to be an issue the whole 3 days we were there- every day we’d come back to our tent to find our stuff scattered a bit- not a huge problem but a present nuisance nonetheless. We tried to keep our things contained but still they tried to carry some stuff away. On the lake shore was a lot of seagull feathers and goose presence, poop, it’s not my favorite way to swim. The bathrooms were ok, pretty basic, very much reminiscent of when you get sent to camp as a child, bare bones. The stalls in the bathroom are uncomfortably short so when you stand up your head is poking out over the door, you can make eye contact w everyone else in the room which is just weird! We went two days without paper towels being restocked to dry your hands, I finally had to call the office. (Everyone in the office was super awesomely nice, always!) Sunday morning there is a group that makes breakfast in the pavilion I guess for donations which they use to beautify the campground. This is a lovely gesture. However the pavilion is right next to the tent sites and the group started setting up about 6:30 AM, which included honking their car horn, and talking very loudly with complete disregard for quiet hours or the full row of tent sleepers. My fiancé finally approached them and told them they must be unaware of how much their voices are carrying but that everyone was still sleeping. They didn’t apologize or say anything and honestly I don’t think they cared or lowered their voices at all. Our site was comfortable, water and electric worked fine, clean fire ring, we didn’t use it. The group next to us talked late past quiet hours (I didn’t not approach the campground about it we just dealt w it), and used a drone which was extremely uncomfortable, loud, and disruptive. I did call the office about that the next day and asked if there was a drone policy, she said there was not but that she would address it if they used it again, they ended up leaving so it wasn’t a problem but there should definitely be a policy about it. All in all, people were nice but the lake location meant a LOT of additional noise from other users and there did not seem to be any reminders about quiet time. Don’t come here if you’re looking for solitude but do come here if you’re looking for a great location in northern Vermont close to a cute town and amenities. Just set your mindset that it’s not a secluded or quiet spot but a spot w stuff to do and lots of people to interact w. We did not use the boat rentals or tennis courts or other stuff.

We have been coming here for the last 14 years together, and my husband since he was a baby. Lovely small quaint town and beautiful campground. The beach is the best! Not overcrowded. Great place to go kayaking, jump off the dock, or go search for the log! Best camping out there!
Scoutkayaking is great
GuideThe first thing that happened is you go over the train tracks to go to the office to register and you have to turn your rig around to go to Riverside which the sites are extremely small had a 42 foot fifth wheel and took me 15 minutes to get set so I could disconnect. good thing there was no one next to me on both sides so I had room to move around otherwise I would’ve never made it in there. The view is beautiful. The lake is pretty. They have seasonals set up on the lake and when we were there, they were pretty obnoxious and loud cursing every two seconds no one came around to check anything. They have a lot of rules, but they don’t enforce any of them. If you want to go to pull through you go on the other side of the camp where you have to climb a huge hill and then maneuver around to get into a pull through that’s only about 10 foot wide. So my suggestion would be if you have a small camper great if you have anything over 30 feet find somewhere else.
LegendIt is a county run facility and we were lucky enough to get sites on a bluff. The sites are HUGE! Probably the biggest we have ever seen in our travels thus far. We were treated to gorgeous views as well as sunsets! There is a very nice bike trail that runs through the campground, to the city of Newport on one side and to Canada on the other!
LegendThis is a great place to camp. You can ride your bike to Canada or into town and see the small town community. Wonderful place to ride bikes and watch the sunset.
TravelerFor fellow work from homers - Strangely Verizon has strong signal but bandwidth issues/very slow to stopped at times - not just me but confirmed by office rep. AT&T works better and u can do WebEx’s. WiFi does not reach entire campground but it’s decent when you get it (but overloads with eg Nextflix’ers at expected times.)
GuideI really liked the campground but I was upset that they didn’t say anything about flood damage to their beach . It’s a beautiful spot and the area is great but the beach and boat dock are gone so you need to rent a boat to go swimming.
Guide
Remote campground with many amenities! First of all, be careful when following certain gps/google directions…depending where you are coming from, you may end up on dirt roads/ATV trails (common in this region of NH) that could be hazardous in a passenger vehicle during poor conditions. In order to register/check in, you must stop at the Coleman cabins prior to the actual campground on the right.
The campground itself is very simply set up. Only a few sites have wooded areas between them, otherwise a majority of the sites are slotted together in a large clearing/loop. There are water spigots located throughout the campground and a visitors center building with bathrooms, laundry and showers. The laundry and showers are coin-op, which I was unaware of prior to my arrival. Make sure to bring quarters!
Previous reviewers mentioned the ATV traffic and that is still accurate, as I believe a majority of the campers here use it for ATV trips. If the campsites near you are loud or rambunctious, you’ll definitely know about it as the sites are so close together, however it seemed to quiet down at night.
The lake next to the campground was absolutely stunning! Definitely the highlight of the grounds.
All in all, would definitely recommend if you’re in this remote part or northern NH.
LegendOne of the furthest north campgrounds in New Hampshire is a great place to stay. If you don't mind the sound of ATVs this place is great. I stayed here on Sept 11th and we had a nice quiet stay.
As others have mentioned you need to check in at the cabins a little down the road but sites can be reserved online easily. Most of the sites are nice, there are a few near the road that I would not recommend on high traffic weekends, due to the fact that they are right on the road.
The mix of site types is one of a kind for the area, Lodges, Cabins, Lean-to and tent sites. There is one main facility building with laundry and bathrooms and then a remote outhouse as well. There are also some recreational buildings that look like they can be rented for events.
The pond is wonderful, the sounds of loons - Magical.
We stayed at site 17 and it was nicely tucked into the trees. I was amazed to see the cabins that were in the woods behind us, they were very cute and I might consider those for another weekend.
If you enjoy exploring the woods, fishing and being in the wild this is a good clean option.
ScoutThis is as far North in NH as you can get for state park camping. No hookups. Usually not very busy. Large, well separated sites with room to maneuver. Close to the lake, with some sites on the water. Great pond for fly fishing, eagle watching, etc. ATV traffic can be a little annoying, but otherwise quiet. Not close to shopping.
LegendThis small little campground (25 sites) is tucked off the main road (Route 16) and dead ends at Little Diamond Pond. There is a small local gravel road that continues about another 1.2 miles to Big Diamond Pond. Its location makes it a great spot to truly get away including zip, zero, zilch cell phone reception!
There are RV compatible sites but there are no hookups and all the camping areas are grass. There is a small "dumping station" within the campground. Other amenities include several water spigots, a very nice and well maintained (cleaned twice a day the entire time we were there) restroom and shower area. There is also a small laundry room with coin operated machines. Also on site is a soda vending machine and an AED. One thing to note is that the welcome center has been moved from the main campground to Coleman Estates. The turn is about .2 miles BEFORE the campground. This is where you check in and pick up your car tag. You can also purchase a few small items (t-shirts, cheap camping gear, a cup of coffee or slice of pizza, fire wood, etc.). Downside to this part of the facility is that there is a MASSIVE tv on when you walk in the door which was quite strange.
We stayed at site 21 which is a nice wooden lean to. We decided to stay in the site for two reasons. First of all, it is one of the closest sites to Little Diamond Pond and you can see the pond from the site. Secondly, it was forecasted to rain over half the time we were there (which it did) and we wanted a little extra protection from the elements. The only drawback to the lean to is that it is one of the only sites with absolutely NO grass in it. So with all the rain it got a bit muddy but the added roof over our heads was totally worth it.
If you enjoy fishing, falling asleep to the sound of loons and owls chatting back and forth then this is the spot for you!
TravelerVery quiet and peaceful place. Facilities were cleaned twice a day. Kayak and paddle boat rentals available. Keep your eyes out for loons and bald eagles on Little Diamond Pond. There is no cell service (at least for Verizon users), but that’s exactly what we wanted. There will be ATVs cruising around, so avoid sites along the main road if that noise would bother you (it’s really not bad, though). Note that many of the sites will fit much larger vehicles than what is stated on Reserve America, especially if you have a trailer and can unhook.

I stopped here along a Cohos Trail thru-hike with a reservation. I had pre-booked campsite 41 and it did not disappoint, with a tent platform right off the water with great views, and a short walk up to the facilities. The campground was busy but things were quiet early.
Facilities in the main office were clean. Amazing fishing was also a short hike away up the Connecticut River up to the River Road covered bridge.
TravelerHave stayed there a number of times. Water front sutes the best! Staff very nice!
GuideThere are a number of nice campsites right on the lake, but even if you don’t have a waterfront site, there is a public boat launch. There is a dishwashing station, laundry facilities, showers, and bathrooms, all very clean. Perfect for fishing, hiking, and kayaking.
LegendI tent camped at site 6 for two nights in early September for a trail volunteer event for the Cohos Trail I and had an awesome stay.
For facilities, there is a camp office (though hours were not consistent), basic camp store, coin op showers, coin op laundry, a big dish cleaning station, and clean bathrooms.
For activities, this site is awesome for fly fishing folks since it’s a short walk from one of the best spots in NH.
I saw lots of folks kayaking and canoeing and there’s a public boat ramp a short walk from the campground. There was a sign for rentals but I didn’t see any available. This may be for earlier in the season.
The sites vary in terms of privacy. The lakefront sites were spectacular but you are close to your neighbors. I was in site 6, in one of the small loops off the waterfront drive. These spots were close together but were separated by some brush to make them feel more secluded. The tent sites in the outer loops looked to offer more privacy.
This campsite was full the weekend I was there and very lively during the day but very quiet and peaceful in the evening.
Lake Francis is way up in NH so this does feel remote. The main activities are hiking, fishing (both fly and from the boat), and I saw a host of folks ATVing.
I would definitely come back on account of the great fishing and peacefulness at night.
TravelerEveryone is looking for something different when they camp. But I still don't understand the love for this place. The campsites are on top of each other. I am listening to the teens swear at each other on one side and the people on the other side are watching a show that I can follow along with them. This is a one night stop over for me, thank goodness. The lake is a nice lake. There are lots of nice lakes to camp around that don't require driving to the border of Canada. If you require 30 amp service for your "CAMPING" while you leave your outdoor lights on so the rest of us can "appreciate" not being able to see the sky, well, I am super sorry that the hookups are not to your liking. As my husband says, 'why would you drive hours to sit closer to strangers than you do at home?' I think I have a pair of earplugs in my bag, thankfully. If you like to fish or ATV, I guess this it the spot. Facilities are very nice. I guess people like to do laundry while they camp? For a week? Who does laundry more than once a week?
