A futon downstairs sleeps two additional people. "This hut has it all and it's pet friendly! There is a lovely wood burning stove and fire wood is supplied. There's a nice deck outside with a picnic table and fire ring there as well," notes one visitor. The cabin contains dishes and cooking implements, a propane stove, and a kerosene lamp. Other cabin accommodations like those at Ricker Pond State Park Campground include basic electrical outlets but require guests to bring most supplies.
Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Brighton State Park, Moose River Campground, and Maidstone State Park all offer cabin rentals with varying amenities. Most cabins require advance reservations, especially during peak summer months when availability becomes limited. A review of Ricker Pond mentioned, "My favorite cabin site is set back from the water, is private, and also fills fast for the season." Many cabins permit pets with appropriate restrictions, though White Caps Campground prohibits pets.

Most cabins include beds with mattresses but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Kitchen facilities vary significantly between properties - from fully equipped kitchenettes in some cabins to simple propane stoves in others. Tree Corners Family Campground and Sugar Ridge RV Village provide more developed cabin accommodations. Cabins at Art and Health Chill Camping offer a rustic experience with access to a common building containing Wi-Fi, bathroom, and kitchen facilities.

LegendThis is a great campground for families! Conveniently situated for skiing, climbing, hiking and leaf peeping. Amenities include; swimming pool, dog park, horseshoes, arcade, disc golf, basketball and more! They also have a propane fill station. As KOA’s go, you will pay for these amenities, but you get a lot of bang for your buck.
TravelerWe come to this campground every year to hike a few 4000+ mountains. Typically we come in the fall. There are several full hook up rv sites, some without sewer and several spots for RVs near the river. While the pizza shop (Celli's) is closed for renovations right now, we love their pizza and fries. The bathrooms are decent and there is hot water!
TravelerQuiet campground experience. Very cheerful staff member. Ice Cream shop is a bonus. We found a secluded spot without reservations. Monday evening. Some sites are tight for larger RVs but our Class B Camper Van fit fine.
GuideThis is one of our “go to” campgrounds when in NH. Super clean and good mountain biking.
GuideThis is out 2nd time here. Bathrooms, showers and laundry facilities are very clean and well maintained. Water sites are close together but the views are great. It’s very pleasant here.
GuideSeems clean and well-kept. Staff in the office are friendly and helpful.
ScoutWe showed up early (10:50 am) and asked to check in prior to the 12 pm check-in time. The owner was working and she told us we could not. I walked over and saw that our site was empty, so my wife asked the owner again if we could check in early as there was nobody there and we had two 16-mo babies who were ready to get out of the car. She then kicked us off the property. This was on a festival weekend with nowhere else to stay, and I told her that. The owner did not care and we had to drive 2 ours home.
TravelerPros: We have the p lube nearly to ourselves, thus it was very similar to dispersed camping. Nice little campground with two small ponds (One for fishing, the other for swimming). Nothing very remarkable, though.
Cons: As others have mentioned, if you want flush toilets and pay showers, you have to either stay at the more crowded, larger loop or walk across the highway to get to those amenities.
TravelerIt was everything we were looking for, right on the river, quiet and clean, the section we stayed in was all tent camping so we weren’t sandwiched in between a bunch of RVs blocking the view. There was no lights, generators or loud music. Alcohol wasn’t permitted so that really cuts down on a lot of unnecessary nonsense. Pets are permitted and our dog loved it. It was very pleasant and relaxing. Can’t wait to go back.
