Ames Brook Campground in Ashland, NH | RV Park Guide

We had a fantastic weekend at Ames Brook Campground! We had a tent site, and it was beautiful and secluded, while close enough to the immaculate restrooms and firewood for purchase. We were coming from the Manchester area, which was a very easy trip. We appreciated the proximity to restaurants and stores for food/supplies, but still felt like we were on vacation and could really "check out". We didn't do much outside of sit at our campsite, listen to and look for creatures in the brook, and enjoy a quiet weekend. 10/10, would stay again!

This is a pretty nice campground in Southern New Hampshire with fairly spacious lots.  Although I will say in walking around it appears 1/3 to 1/2 of the campground are seasonal lots and some of them are really nice.  It also has a pool in seasoned firewood for sale and a nice little nature trail.  All the roads and sites are gravel with the sites being pretty level overall and almost all the sites are shaded.  I will also say some of these sites require some pretty good driving skills to back into as the angles to back in can be relatively sharp.  They have a small camp office / store and a pretty nice laundry as well as a small playground for kids.

Stayed here a few weeks ago for 3 nights for my birthday with my family and was very happy with the size of the campsite we chose.  There is a nice short nature walk and a treasure hunt for gnomes to keep the kids busy.  Everyone we met was very friendly.  The pool was clean and "refreshing" which isn't bad for a late August trip with cool nights the week prior.  Bathrooms were clean, the office team was great and even called us to see if everything was ok because we were going to arrive after normal check in times.  They left our check-in packet by the door for us, which worked out well.  The office does close on a Friday around 4~5, but it's not an issue.  Wood is available 24/7 via a camera recorded honesty box, which worked out for us because we showed up close to dark.  I'll revisit this campground again in 2026 for sure.  Great site for a good price.

This was one of the delightful campgrounds we have been in!  We booked in two weeks to explore the Lakes Region and surrounding area; this was a great stopping off point.  There is an upper area with rigs closer together for those who like neighbors; we were past the bridge into the woods for a real quiet experience.  They have woodland trails, nicely groomed for walks along the brook, a pristine pool with some cushioned lounge chairs.  The owner obviously takes great pride in keeping everything neat and up to date, the staff was also so pleasant.

Ames Brook is an amazing campground with awesome amenities and events! The staff are super nice and chill. The environment is beautiful. Luxurious restrooms/showers. Family friendly. I have run sound for their Grateful Dead event featuring Not Fade Away, and the owner and band are great to work with. The attendees had a blast. I would certainly recommend this place!

We loved our stay at Ames Brook Campground! We had a fantastic site that sat right on the brook. The babbling brook was a delight!. We took walks around the campground everyday and enjoyed the little rec path through the woods. Everyone we came in contact with were friendly  and welcoming. We were off and running almost everyday and spent time in the white mountains and on the lake as the campground is extremely well situation to visit many local attractions! I would definitely recommend this place to friends!

OMGOSH!!! This was the best place I've camped at in a long time. Bathrooms are super clean, the site was clean, and the privacy and view for the site I chose was just fantastic! Lots of space  for our set up. Dog friendly and a dog walk too that has special surprises in fairy forest and a memorial telephone. The staff is super friendly and very helpful. They make it all work and are happy too. I highly recommend this camp on your visit to the lakes region in NH.

We were greeted by a friendly and very helpful host. Our site was huge and it appeared most sites were large. We had more than enough space for our class A and toad. The campground and pool were very clean. The laundry was reasonable. The campground is close to many attractions. We loved our stay here.

Bob and I had a wonderful time at Ames Brook.  We stayed in site #67 and it was sooooo nice level, sunny and shady, and had a clean well kept trailer pad.
Our hosts were friendly and so helpful.  We will come back and hopeful that the next trip will be dry!!

We had site 67 and it was excellent. Clean, level and just the right amount of sun and shade.
The Hosts were informative and excited to share their experiences and to tell us about their favorite places.
We will go back there again and this time we will hope for sunny, dry weather.

Nice quiet campground.  Property is clean and neat.  a++
