This is the second time we stayed here with excursion trailer conversion and had a very pleasant stay. My husband and I are in our 60's and enjoyed the quietness of the campground, they also have a laundry room so we used that twice & it was reasonably priced. We will definitely be staying here again possibly in the fall.

The family that owns the campground are amazing people and they really do a great job of making sure everyone has a good time but is also safe, at the same time. They have an awesome fireworks display for 'Christmas in July" that literally rivals major firework displays put on by cities, fantastic!

Updated 2023 by me. A campground where you can enjoy hearing the owls hoot at night and the ducks quack during the day. If you're looking for a Rustic campground to relax and yet have the ability to do all those camping things. This is the place. That is why I am a seasonal and updating this post. After reading some reviews, it looks to me lately, that people are forgetting that this is a "Rustic" campground and are expecting modern day conveniences. I come here with my family to get away from all that stuff. You should too. The only thing I carry is a cell phone and tablet which work great if I need them. Somethings to consider when staying at Ferndale Acres. It's Not a resort. This is a campground that has been around a longtime and has stood the test of time. It's a Rustic campground. So... when it rains, enjoy the mud and excess water around. Be a kid and have some fun. When the sun is out, go to the pool and play some cornhole. ;-) Don't expect today's modern WIFI etc.. There is some WIFI around the main office though. With today's technology, there is no reason why you can't add all that stuff to your camper yourself. This way technology never leaves your camper no matter where you're parked. Amenities like showers, bathrooms and laundry are all available. Yes! they are dated as this is an older campground. but... I have to give them credit, they are clean and well taken care of. Mine all work great in my camper. Does yours? Pool is fun and the activities are great. Something to do every weekend. Store has just enough and if you need something the store doesn't have, within twenty minutes or less you are at Market Basket. There is even a sub shop that delivers to the campground. Sweet!!! Back to the comments. Yes! we all know that it is easy enough to pick apart anything in the world today. We all understand that anything we use, campgrounds, restaurants, big box stores, AMAZON (*chuckles*) and even the internet can disappoint us at times. So when you read negative comments about anything out there, please try to look at the whole picture. As the old saying goes, Someone's trash is another person's treasure. So in conclusion, try it... if you don't like it. That's okay. NH and all the other states have many campgrounds to explore. Be safe, be smart and enjoy life. Later.....
