Located in Mansfield, it's convenient to Boston and Providence. As an adult, my first experience at Canoe River was excellent. The campground is well kept, the pools (there are two) are kept in pristine condition, the staff is pleasant and responsive. I think there is a function room above the bath house that can be used, looks a good sized. I stayed here out of necessity and was pleasantly surprised. The store has anything you would need, even a phone booth where you can make free local calls. I was downtrodden, and was able to stack wood for extra cash. I would highly recommend this campground to anyone. Bring quarters for laundry and shower, and remember drying clothes is the expensive part - .25 for six minutes.

Regardless of the time of night /morning, I was told I could go to the desk and pay and get an access card after I got off of work. Which was 2 AM, The fact that someone answered and then proceeded to question whether or not I was aware of what time it is, seems more confrontational than welcoming and hospitable. 🤷‍♂️As I’m in a full uniform and just drove 45 minutes to this location at this time of the morning. Not going to be spoken down to with a facetious line of questioning, by someone at 2:30 in the morning.

This is a great little camp ground!!! It has laundry and a great pool and snack shack!!! Staff is very kind if you wanna get away it’s a great place! Not much in the way of cell service but that is part of its appeal!!!! They get it quiet by 10 pm and keep it clean!!!

Awesome experience! We loved it here. We stayed 2 night in 2 sites for tent camping and had a blast. Staff was very helpful, super friendly and extremely understanding. The pool was clean and well kept, the store had most of the things we forgot to bring with us. The bathrooms were a little dirty but what can you expect with so many people camping and using them. Overall awesome experience, we are definitely coming back! 9/10

Friendly family oriented campground. People here come back year after year, some for generations. There is a strong neighborhood feel, with lots of unpretentious working class people. This campground is well maintained, easy going, pet friendly, kid friendly, and will welcome you with open arms. Great playground for the kids, has a deep end pool and a shallow pool, offers fun activities like arts and crafts, candy bar bingo, karaoke, DJ dance nights, wild animal encounters, kids fishing contests, antique fire engine rides, horseshoes, and more. Great fishing for adults who love to fish, fish under the campgrounds license. Paddle boats and canoes for rent as well. Located on the calm and serene canoe river. Watch the fireflies, listen to the bullfrogs, take pics of the blue heron, and relax. They have laundry on site, showers, public restrooms, 30 and 50 amp hook ups, propane on site, sewer and water at every RV site, camp store where you can sendail and receive packages, ice machine, small cafe, small arcade, firewood.

I used to camp here as a child with my large extended family in the old safari area. We had an awesome time and made amazing family memories. Emma and Joe the old owners were extremely family orientated and you can tell they cared so much about everyones experience. Now as an adult I went back with my own little family. Unfortunately, so many things have changed. The campground is clean but does not have activities as it did. The pool and bathrooms were clean. We still had a good time, just not as I remembered it when I was growing up.

Feels like your in new hampshire but you didn't have to drive 4 hrs to get there! Great little campground with some awesome amenities to boot. we try to stay here atleast once a summer.

Most expensive campground I’ve gotten on my two week vacation, still had pay showers. Didn’t matter, the bathrooms were filthy, I couldn’t use them anyway. Feces smeared all over, broken toilet paper dispensers, trash full, sinks dirty, showers looked gross. Lots of people living in this “campground “, mud holes everywhere. Camp sites not clearly defined. A tree had fallen on the campsite next to me, no one had cleared it off. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

Great campground! Excellent location, especially if you're hitting a show at Gillette. Only reason I had to take off a star was the bathrooms really need to be cleaned more often. Otherwise, just wear water shoes when you shower and you'll have a great time!

By far the best place we have ever taken our kids camping. So friendly and amazing for a family. A cute park to play in, a baseball field, two swimming pools (very clean and safe), a small out door store, long roads for a bicycle ride. Amazing neighbors ( seasonal AA 11 Ernie and Dave AA 8). Quiet and relaxing. Can't wait to come back in two weeks and in October. Thank you so much.
