All though it was a very cold weekend and the pool was closed for obvious reasons! We still had a blast!! Our son had broken his leg right before our visit and trying to get his wheel chair to and from the office was rough but they offered us a golf cart on them for the entire weekend! Our stay was fantastic. It was our first time there but it wont be our last! Everyone was so friendly! Thank you to all the fabulous stuff!!

We won a 1 night stay on the Facebook page! So we ended up booking a cabin which required a 2 night stay so totally fine. We thought we booked a regular cabin but it was one of their tiny mobile homes, for the price it is steep, but thankfully we had the one night free. It's easily one of the cleanest campgrounds I have ever been too. We are big K.O.A fan's and this one is the best one i have visited. I felt as if the sites were nicely spread apart! The only downfall is definitely pricing through out. Between paying extra for resort fees and the dog fee was the most I have ever paid for, but I would love to come back if the price is right!

I am extremely disappointed in KOA. I would think that a business that has America in it's name would have some pride in our country. When I arrived I found a gigantic KOA flag, on the same pole as a tiny tattered American flag, completely overshadowing it. Although flag etiquette is not law, anything that goes against it actually disrespects the flag. Additionally they have no lights illuminating the flag at night and they leave it flying all night. The grounds were nice and well kept. Nice enough amenities, no real complaints there. My biggest complaint is the corporate greed and "pay for to play" feel of this place. They don't allow outside firewood even if you bring your own kiln dried they make you buy theirs. Their excuse is it's bad for the environment but we know they just are greedy. Prices are fairly high for a normal tent site and if you don't like your site and want to choose a vacant site they charge you a nightly fee. This does not feel like a hometown campground but more like a trip on spirit airlines. Last thing is they do have fun activities but they all take place in an outdoor area that dogs are not allowed. Dog friendly sure but you and your family will be split up one parent with the dog and the other with the kids.

Very nice campground! ALL staff are so very friendly and helpful! There is so much to offer here! It’s kid friendly but it’s also very quiet for those who don’t. Lots of fun activities…every week the office gives out a flyer. My kids would have LOVED this campground when they were young. Lots of shade! Well maintained park. From what I can see most sites are fairly level. I know there are people who don’t like rules, but they are in place for a reason. Bring your fishing poles…catch and release pond. They also have paddle boats & boards and golf carts for rent. Also a nice game room and laundry. Have a look on their website for all the camping accommodations as they have many. I definitely recommend this campground!

We had an amazing time at the Strafford/Lake Winnipesaukee KOA! The sites were large & shaded beautifully where we were in camp. The bathrooms were clean. Our kids loved the pool and splash pad. The staff was all friendly & helpful. Fishing was perfect as that is all our son wanted to do. He caught an abundance of fish! We will definitely return and next time, stay longer! Beautiful campground!

One of my favorite KOAs in New England. It's not really confidently located for tourist/sight-seeing trips, it is quiet and peaceful and perfect for a weekend away from home. I love how secluded the cabins feel and while they cabins are more "glamping", I love the ease of them.

BIG CORPORATION RUINS CAMPGROUNDS!!!! They nickel and dime you ($60 to pick your campsite) which should be your right as an American!!! Then they upcharge for more cars. Then they have security that take their jobs WAY TOO SERIOUSLY and won’t let kids be kids. Spend your money on “Mon and Pops” campgrounds. Left the campground early

This is our 3rd and last year here. It’s a nice campground, albeit a bit pricey and certainly not the resort they add an $11.99/night fee for. The staff, however, is another story. Rude is being polite. They drive around the campground in their golf carts and yellow t-shirts looking for anything they consider to be out of place. Last night they descended on our campsite like a SWAT team because there was an extra car parked there. We’re from out of state and family came to visit. The staff not only insisted that our grandsons move their cars to overflow parking, even though there was plenty of room, they proceeded to follow them and monitor their every move. The boys were forced to park outside of the campground and then had to pay $10 each to walk back to our site. So much for a peaceful family visit. Definitely never coming back here again. Update to campground response … Think you’re respectful all you want but the staff has been nothing but rude and disrespectful since the moment we checked in. What we experienced last night was harassment, plain and simple. The situation could have and should have been handled much differently.

Unbelievable campground. Having fun and just enjoying yourself…nope…not here. Want to play basketball at 9pm before quiet hours? Nope, can’t do that. KOA’s are ruining campgrounds. Won’t be back.

We had a great experience at this campground. The campground had something for everyone. The playground was so nice! They have a pool and a water park for younger kids. That have kayaks and paddle boats for rent and a great arcade. The bathrooms were so clean and they were single, unisex bathrooms with a toilet and a shower in them. The staff were helpful and friendly. Even the dirt/gravel roads were smooth and get grated once a week. We highly recommend this camp ground to any one looking for a campground to visit.

We rented a cabin the last week of September - so it wasn't too crowded. The place is immaculate & Grace (who works there), is an absolute peach!! Had the best time - never had to worry about being kept up by people partying or anything. Already looking forward to booking again next year!!

We had a great time at this KOA. The site we had was amazing and large. Was able to back in my camper easily and all the hook-ups were easily accessible. We had a patio, swing, fire pit and table and chairs. There was lots to do for my son that there was no need to go off site. The staff was super friendly and attentive. The only feedback I would provide would be the people driving the golf carts, not so much the staff, but the guests. They are driving too fast, especially at night. Also saw several teenagers that were driving them carelessly. Other than that, all was good and we will be returning.

This was the nicest KOA my family has stayed at. They are pet friendly so we got to bring our family cat. The cabins were amazing. Looked brand new. And the screened porch and fire pit were just as nice. The pool is huge and the slide was a bonus. Already booked to go back.

What a great place to spend a week with family. The sites are a good size and well maintained. The setting is beautiful and there is just enough to do whether you want to be active with the kids or relax by a fire. Staff was incredibly friendly and responsive and the daily activities they had planned for kids were a nice option. It’s just the right size to feel like a community and not too big to walk the whole site if you don’t want to rent a cart.
