Nice and clean place. Water temperature are perfect from June end to Aug. It’s nice place to view sunset but sadly park closes at 6.

Beware when reserving a campsite: Per the rules (and it's enforced), you MUST hook up to FULL hookups or you cannot camp there (that means electric, water, AND sewer), even if you don't need all three or are unable to do all three. There is a day-use area if you are going for the day. The area is beautiful and the beach on Lake Winnipesaukee is pretty sweet so for that it gets two stars. It's just unfortunate that this State Park (not a private RV Resort) has such a rule which Is the first I've seen after visiting dozens of state parks across the country. My guess is it's a case of it some people ruining it for the rest of us.

Small and cozy camp ground. Extremely clean bathrooms and restrooms, food concession stand, clean lake, safe trailers parking. Water, electricity and cable service for your camper. Great view, near restaurants and attractions.

Will the showers in the RV park be available for the 2022 camping season?

Curtis Rogers | Jan 5, 2022
Travis Irish | Jan 5, 2022

That is a great question, they should be but I'm not a state rep! So I. Annot answer definitely. It's been a 2 year project that should have taken 2 months... Your guess is as good as mine. I will say they have taken down the constitution fences in the last 2 weeks so that's a step in the right direction
