Plenty of camp sites with plenty of room. Bathrooms were large enough with sinks and flush toilets. Bring quarters for the shower or ask the host to change your bills to quarters.

Arrived without reservations in mid October and found an exceptional $30 site near the shower building. Firewood was available for $8/bundle, but we were encouraged to pick up fallen sticks and branches never needing to purchase a bundle. Showers are $2.50 for a 5 minute hot shower. The friendly camp host has change if you don't come prepared! The showers and bathrooms were well maintained and clean. The fall colors were beautiful during the day and the stars lit up the night sky. So many hiking opportunities nearby and off the beaten path enough to get away from the crowds on the Kancamagus Highway. Only downside is the road noise overnight, but it's not bad enough to downgrade the 5 star review.

The camp hosts were very friendly. The bathrooms and showers were clean. The only complaint that I have is that you pay $30 for a site with no amenities and still have to pay for a shower.

Solid campground, the sites are nice and wooded with ample privacy between sites, several are handicap accessible sites. Clean, functional bathrooms. It's right off the state highway so you can hear the road noise, it's not loud so never bothered us, but if you're looking for a more immersive nature experience that would be the only drawback in my opinion. Otherwise, this place was great.

Easy access from road. Park roads are narrow for pulling a trailer. Campsites are large. It is no dump station. Bathrooms and running water are available. (No water for trailer). Dog friendly. Hiking trails at day use area. Very nice hosts.
