Pillsbury

Took a nice hike from Pillsbury to Lucia’s Lookout. 3.5 easy miles and .5 not so easy but worth the effort.

The campground aspect of Pillsbury was amazing; great views of the water, beautiful foliage, and a rustic but adventurous vibe. The real problem lies in their management. I've been to numerous campgrounds and nearly 100% of the employees I've interacted with are extremely friendly and inclined to be helpful in anyway possible and even bend the rules for some situations. However, the employees at the Pillsbury camp store were rude and unhelpful at times to the point of turning away a sale. One employee even gossiped about a member of my party to another of us - strange. We will not be heading back to Pillsbury because of this.

We have been camping with our trailer for 10 years now and have never had a situation like this. Unfortunately, this was the worst experience we’ve ever had. We had a 3-night reservation and arrived on Friday around 8:00 pm (a little late, which was our fault). The front desk person looked surprised when we pulled up with our 5th wheel and asked if we were sure we could get into the site. How could we possibly know that if we had never been to this campground before? Our reserved site was 38 feet ( while our camper is 32), and the description on Reserve America listed it as an RV/Tent/Trailer site. I also checked pictures on CampsitePhotos website. We knew there was no dump station, which was fine with us. We also discovered that you can’t even fill your fresh water tank there, but we were willing to work with that too. The real issue was access. The road leading to our site was so narrow that not only would our camper not fit, but even our Ram 3500 truck barely fit. We had no choice but to turn around and leave. The staff at the campground told us there was nothing they could do if we didn’t fit, and we were left without options. It was very disappointing. After my husband drove more than 1.5 hours after a full workday to get us there, he had to turn right back around and drive home. The main problem is the lack of clear communication between the campground and Reserve America. If RVs are not allowed or there is a length restriction, that should be clearly stated in the description. Many other campgrounds clearly post “No RVs” or “No trailers over 20 ft,” which makes planning much easier. This could have been avoided with proper information. Sadly, it left us with a very frustrating experience.

Beautiful park, clean, quiet. Great place to relax without any notifications or news. Staff polite and accommodating.

Awesome state park for camping. Some really nice spots right on the pond. Canoeing and fishing was a lot of fun. Unfortunately it was too hot for hiking but Sunapee lake is 20 minutes away and offered a nice spot to cool off. Will definitely be back again.
