My husband, kids, and I stayed at Timberland Campground from July 28 to September 1, 2025, and had an amazing time. This was our fourth visit to New Hampshire. We are from Canada. Earlier this year, in June, my husband and I explored your campground after a disappointing experience elsewhere. Driving through, we immediately noticed the care and pride you put into maintaining the site. The warm, friendly greeting we received left such a positive impression that we booked a return trip with our children for late August. Our stay was flawless. The campground is stunning, with plenty of tree-lined site options. The bathrooms and showers were spotless, with hot water readily available, and the pool was impeccably maintained. Your hard work and approachable, friendly demeanor shone through every time we saw you. We wish you continued success—you truly deserve it! Thank you for making our stay so memorable. We look forward to visiting again.

We greatly enjoyed our 5 day stay here. Megan and Scott are amazing! You can tell how much they enjoy what they are doing! They were very kind, friendly, patient and informative. The lots are a nice size, facilities were clean, large showers and nice pool. We did a few nice hikes that were close by. Totally would go there again. Bob and Deb. June 2025

Fantastic campground! Owners greeted us like family and made our trip so memorable. The sites are very clean and spacious. The bath houses were very well maintained. A great setting in the woods. Nice walk to the river, had tons of water even in a very dry summer, even caught a couple trout. Over the holiday weekend they "fired" up the old fire truck and gave rides to the children and adults. It was a blast! They were very accommodating to our large group. Very family friendly.

Goodness, where do I start? The breathtaking location? The cleanliness? The friendly and personable owners? Everything was above and beyond my expectations! We rented a cabin for two nights, as our extended families wanted to do a camping trip all together, but our household does not have a camper. Immediately upon walking into the cabin, I was met with a spotless interior and the smell of fresh wood. Snacks, treats, and firewood were all readily available at the camp store. My husband and I disagreed about the beds -- I thought the memory foam mattress in the cabin was the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in away from home. Before we even checked out from that stay, I had already started planning our trip for next year. We will absolutely be back!

Our family has been coming here for years. We absolutely love it. We have rented both cabins and RVs and both were great experiences. Megan and Scott are amazing and make every guest feel like family. The campground is beautiful and clean and the sites are perfect. There is so much to do we never feel like we have enough time here! Highly recommend!
