Two Shea’s Journey

We really enjoyed our stay here. We were in site number 8. We were able to book this campground at the last minute. The staff was friendly and helpful. The site was large and well shaded. There are a number of seasonal sites but things were very quiet at night. They have a pool that looked nice, we didn't use it though. Great location to hit both sides of the White mountains. Very close to all the attractions. We would stay here again.

We loved our experience camping at Ammonoosuc Campground. The sites were really large and you didn't feel packed in like sardines. You can tell the owners take really good care of the place. The sites were immaculate as were the bathrooms and laundry facility. We were thrilled when we stumbled upon the outdoor games! It was the perfect touch. We would absolutely stay here again the future.

We were treated extremely rudely by Ellen and her assistant. We were accused of breaking a rule but when we asked about said rule they couldn’t point it out in the rulebook. We felt like they talked down to us like we were kids but we were only polite and proactive guests during our entire stay. We just came up to climb Mount Washington and were barely at the site but just to sleep. We kept our site spotless and were respectful of the campsite and other guests as well as the staff. It’s odd for their default response to be degrading and irate over courteous and understanding. Oh and the money grab. Instead of one campsite with a camper and two tiny tents they wanted each guest to pay an additional $40 a night. We ended up staying all together but that was after some negotiation. Why not just have the rules clearly listed on the site for all types of campgrounds beforehand?? There’s so many other campgrounds that we plan to stay at instead for next time. The site was great, but the service people were extremely rude so we won’t be back and will tell our other hiker friends to avoid this site.

We were blown away by the beauty of this campground and the kindness of Ellen & her husband! The check engine light came on when we arrived and Ellen helped us to find local sources to get things sorted out. Meanwhile, we relaxed in this quiet, peaceful site! The campground is located close to so many beautiful spots and we will definitely return one day! Truly a slice of heaven!

We had the most wonderful experience at this campground. We stayed for one night headed to Bangor, all the way from Atlanta. We were welcomed by the lady at the front desk (forgive me for forgetting her name) who was LOVELY. So kind, warm, and inviting. We were one of two tent campers surrounded by RVs but it felt very safe. The site was clean and quiet. After setting up camp, we made some dinner and enjoyed washing the dishes in a very clean dish only sink. We then went on a walk around the grounds and met all of the super kind residents. We also played with the outside games that were provided which was unexpected and SO FUN!!! We had a quiet nights sleep and took a lovely hot, clean, and **free!!** shower! We would really recommend this campground if passing through the area. Thank you for making this such a lovely experience for us!

We had a short stay but very much enjoyed it! Hosts were incredibly helpful and friendly. It had rained hard during the day and so they moved us to a drier campsite without us having to initiate. Bathrooms super clean and well maintained. Great set up for tent sites. Highly recommend staying here!

This campground was very nice and the people who run it are very nice. We camped in a large bell tent but stayed on a RV site for electric and water. The bath house was cleaned several times a day and always looked and smelled clean. They also have primitive tent sites. You should be aware that some of these were next to a graveyard if that would bother you. They also have seasonal rv campers but the ones we met were very nice and helpful in locating restaurants etc.

Had a great experience. Ellen, the owner, was a very gracious host, being a warm and friendly upon our arrival. The tent site was perfect, bathrooms were clean, well lit, and had music. We ran into some trouble when hiking the next day, but Ellen came to help out, even though we were strangers. She went above and beyond, and my friends and I are very thankful. I’d highly recommend this campground!!

We camped here for the Fourth of July , last minute. We were grateful to score a site. I’m going to say, this is not what I expected. It’s not on the river and the word “ walking distance” isn’t really accurate. It’s in long walking distance to a part of the river that isn’t really swim able. I asked her upon arrival if you can walk or drive and she said drive. The website seemed to make you believe otherwise. They also mention a store is across the street. It’s not across the street it’s down the road and across , but it’s actually vacant now. The campsites for tents are so clustered you have zero privacy. They packed as many sites as they could. The roads are narrow and unlike the kancamagus, they don’t have “ one way signs” which makes for disaster. We barely fit a 4 person tent and a truck on the site. This is a place to rest your head after hiking. The bathhouse was nice; having service was nice, being able to make a reservation was nice, but I’ll never camp here again. If you have camped the Kanc, you will be in shock if you camp here. This isn’t the nature retreat we hoped for. Lastly; after a nice day at the river a few miles down, I was heading to the office to check my mom in as a visitor. When I arrived the owner rudely approached me saying “ you better take that tarp down; my husband went by your site and he’s LIVID”… I was shocked and confused. My husband had hung our tarp for the rain to two trees to give a little privacy so we didn’t have to awkwardly look at our neighbors while having a fire. . Neatly. Not only did she do this in front of her friends, but it was rude and intense. We wanted to leave then and there. I felt like a kid getting in trouble. We hesitated to stay but we were tired so we did. She then apologized in a condescending way, which is better than nothing but it’s not acceptable and she should control her behavior as a business owner. Stumps that cause for destruction all around the camp that they haven’t taken care of and just say “ watch out for that stump” . Maybe put your husband to work on the landscaping instead of being “ livid” about a tarp hung up for privacy on a campsite. All set here.

First time campers in the campground. Great area to hike and site seeing. The campground is full of friendly people. Nice spacious sites. The owners were very friendly. Plan on going back next year. 👍

Wonderful time! Our tent sites had no electric or water but there was a water spigot nearby and we could charge our phones in the bathroom. Bathrooms were very clean- all the time- and so were the showers. A light would be nice over the fantastic camp sink but you can set your phone flashlight on the paper towel dispenser and it works just as well. Very quiet too.

Lovely, quiet campground. I called last minute and lucked out. Their sites have vegetation and privacy and the bathrooms are spotless. Good laundry facility for a fair price, and some fun for the kids if you need it. Easy access to lots of hiking. Pet friendly too.
