Couple of hiccups but worked out ok. Great campground, clean, spacious. Beautiful location. Restrooms clean. Would stay again, definitely. The sites by the river are really nice.

This campsite was nice and in the perfect location for hiking. We stayed here for 3 nights. Everyone was friendly and the check in process was very easy. The showers were dirty but the restroom was fine. Firewood is very overpriced, consider buying before you arrive on site. The rv sites in the woods are very tight. Make sure you know how to back in a trailer if you stay in those sites. Playground was fine but outdated. The mini golf is not a thing at all. The trees overhanging the road could be trimmed back a little bit. They should move the dumpster location to the exit so you do not have to turn around or go through the entire campsite again to leave. Other than that we would stay again, especially for the price.

We love our annual camping trips at Fransted. We always book a two-night stay at a premium tent site, and find we have plenty of space (we have a large 8-person tent and could fit another large tent if needed) and plenty privacy for our family of four people plus a dog. The campground is quiet, beautiful, and you can hike the short campground hiking trail along the river, which connects to lovely network of other trails through the woods. Great for exploring! Plus, the campground is a short drive from the mountains for even longer hikes. Plus a 10-min drive to Littleton where you can buy necessities or enjoy the beautiful town. Other guests have been polite, quiet, and friendly. As some have mentioned, there is distant noise from the highway late at night, but nothing that kept us awake.

We had a wonderful time at Fransted Campground. It was mid-week in September and there were very few people there, it was nice and quiet! We had a riverside tent site #27 which was perfect. The bathrooms were the cleanest campground bathrooms I have ever seen. There's a short hiking trail which we took out to the river and had a picnic. It was lovely. The people that we met in the office were very kind and efficient. There are lots of rules, but that's how we like it. Although this didn't bother us, you should know that there is traffic noise from the nearby highway, day and night, especially big trucks. This may be a problem for some people.

This is a wonderful campground! We had a Premium Tent site right on the river. It was wonderful to go to sleep and wake up to the sound of babbling water. Sites are reasonably big and very well maintained. Laundry on site was a plus after a wet hike. The bathrooms were cleaned regularly and perfectly fine. Staff was so friendly, and the store is well-stocked for wood, ice, and ice cream as well as other basics. I'm looking forward to returning!

Quiet and relaxing stay here. Bathrooms were cleaned multiple times a day and showers were very clean. Had a site by the river and we did not even use bug spray once! We will be back for sure! Many hiking trails around, both walking and a 15 min drive for some more challenging!

This is an almost perfect campground! Very friendly and accommodating owners. Very quiet and respectful at night. Camp sites are spacious and clean.(wood chips where a major plus) Absolutely dog friendly. Camp store was well stocked and convenient. The creek running through the tent area is absolutely beautiful and provided the best sleep aid at night. My only major critique is the bathrooms. While they where always stocked and clean, I felt like they where really small for the camp. 7 showers for 50+ camp sites can be rough around peak times. If the bathrooms where modernized, I feel like this camp would be a major competition to the state parks in the area. Other minor complaints such as the traditional fire pits are very inconvenient for cooking and the washroom was rather unreliable for us. Overall we really did love this camp site and would not hesitate to recommend it or come back again ourselves!

Stayed a long weekend at this campground, most of the RV sites are in a field right when you go in which was the only downfall of the stay. There is absolutely no shade on almost any site which made for hot days with kids. There are a couple RV sites along the wood line that we will try next year that look perfect. On the plus side all the RV sites are gravel and flat, I didn’t even need any leveling devices. The owners are very nice and the store has essentials. The tent sites are large and flat. There is a decent mini golf and a playground. The river was great for tubing for the kids, but there is no real spot to actually swim. It’s great to cool off but if you want to swim you’ll need to find a nearby lake. Overall it was a good place we will be returning to.

We had a fabulous experience at this campsite. The location was amazing, close to every hike and other activity we wanted to do. The bathrooms and showers were very clean. There were so many families but everything was quiet and peaceful at night. Our campsite was right on the creek which was so peaceful. We will be coming back to this campsite again.

Good stuff first. Owners very sweet, bathrooms kept clean...its the White Mountains so beautiful drive from anywhere. Not so great. No grills for pretty small fire pits. $5 per person for a not so great mini golf course. Camp store only open 1-8, and not even that late. They don't keep a lot of ice. However when we did call to get firewood and ice, owner came down to sell just the wood. there was no ice. When some did come in they delivered 2 (out of 3 we wanted) to our site, which was nice of them. Thinking they are new at this and getting kinks out. Lovely location for tents. Rvs were super close together.
