Campground Review from Diane

From , former About.com Guide

I found out about this campground from relatives who camped there last year, and I tent camped there in June 2007.

Describe your camping trip:

This is a small campground with a small beach and lake across the street, perfect for canoeing.
Pros: It was very clean. The sites in the back section were nice, large and wooded.

Cons: The owner was unfriendly and rude, beginning when we called to make our reservation, through our stay and at checkout. There were too many seasonal sites towards the front - a bit like camping in a trailer park.
Nearby attractions: Wolfeboro

Further comments:

If it wasn't for the unfriendliness of the owner, we would definitely have gone back there again and again and referred our family and friends. Too bad for them.

The first warning should be the fact you need a key card to get in! The campground itself is set up nicely and the sites are quite private. The bathroom in the front is clean and a porta potty was positioned about half way through. Problem is the owners. Quiet time is 10:30pm on the weekend and they want the fires out with water by 12:30am! When we stayed there this past weekend the guy was actually caught lurking in the woods near our site waiting for us to have a burst of hilarity so he could come kick us out (we had had a slight burst of hilarity the night before and been warned). Also, when some of our group arrived late on Saturday 10:30pm/10:45pm they were told it was too late for them to come in even though they had called and made the reservation and then tried to call back to say they were running late. Needless to say the place is extremely quiet. Great place to stay if you just want to sleep. Don't plan on having a laugh or two. It's not allowed! Plus kinda creepy having guy lurking in the woods after dark.
