I found out about this campground in a campground review book, and I RV camped there in June 2007.

Describe your camping trip:

A bit depressing. The number of permanent trailers with their decks made us think of this place as a trailer park, in the permanent sense. I couldn't imagine why people would want to spend a lot of time on-site. Maybe it is because we were just spending two days there, and coming from Maine I am used to very nice campgrounds with privacy and quiet.
Pros: On the plus side, they had clean bathrooms and good condition playground equipment, although you have to jump the questionable water and the freshly dumped construction and landscaping sand and loam.

Cons: Lots of highway noise, lots of exposed earth around the playground (ongoing work?), questionable water in the roadways, sewer connections too close to the road to properly backup and keep your rig out of the road and hookup without a 20' pipe, and the sites seemed narrow, dated arcade.
Nearby attractions: Canobie Lake Park (about 30 minutes away).

Further comments:

We were glad to only be there two nights.
