Campground Reviews

Sep 05, 2023
An average KOA. Worth maybe $50 a night since the hook ups worked. But paid $130, and it was terrible! Sites so poorly laid out people couldn't get into them, & not level. No place for dogs to potty inside the campgound. NOT on a lake--false advertising. This KOA is WORSE than the Northampton, MA one, which had been the worst on my list. Buyer beware--OVERPRICED!

Shelah- Thank you for your review. We don't often experience guests being unable to get into our sites, but if that happens, we are always onsite to assist. As for our furry friends, we sit on 45 beautifully wooded acres and even have a dog park onsite. We only ask that you pick up after your pet!

Sonia- I do apologize that we do not allow anyone under the age of 18 without a valid driver license to operate our golf carts. This policy is in place for the safety of everyone at the campground. The team and I appreciated your understanding.

We booked a tent site 89 over the phone and assured us we wouldn’t be moved. Got there and told us we had Rv site 6- tiny, no privacy and filled with poison berries with 2 dogs we couldn’t do it… they ended up moving us to a tent site (which is the kind of site we booked In The first place) on 23 next to smelly loud bathrooms. Not cool Koa. The CS lady with black hair was extremely unprofess

Becky- We were happy we were able to move the site that you reserved after berries that could not be identified were reported by your family. It's unfortunate that this site too was not what you hoped for. We're very sorry you found our helpfulness unprofessional and hope you have a good day!

What a joke. Poison berries all over the site. The site we did not book. We booked a grass tent site and they switched us to an Rv gravel site. We eventually got them to switch us back to a tent site by the slamming bathroom door.Rude front desk talking down to us like we were dumb. Loud!!! If they are gonna be dog friendly maybe get rid of the poison berries and grape vines that will kill a dog!

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Becky- We are happy we were able to move the site your family booked to another area upon request. We apologize that site too is not what you were hoping for. We can be reached for any noise complaints 24/7 by dialing option 1. Thank you!

Too many golf carts and too fast. Too many over head trees , the sap got all over everything and hard to off of vehicles.

It was my son’s first time “camping” ie glamping and he loved the RV that we stayed in. Great pool, splash bad and water slide. Had a blast on the paddle boats . Overall great stay unfortunately we had to leave a day early because my son got sick. Entire staff was very friendly and helpful Highly recommend.

The team and I had a blast hosting you and the fam! We hope to see you again soon!

Paid extra for water view but the water view that you see online and the actual water view when you get there is very different, my water view was look thru the woods over the yurts. Prices are too high for this campground, place is a money pit with a charge for everything, I have stayed in other beautiful KOA property’s across the nation for half as much. This KOA was a one time trip for me.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We're sorry to hear about your disappointment with your stay, John. The team is more than happy to discuss site changes with you at any time while onsite. Guests can inquire at the front desk or reach us at 603-332-0405 option 1 24/7 with any move requests, questions, etc!

Our site was very nice, Staff was very attentive to us when we were having a hard time leveling our camper! I thought this was on the lake, like it says on this KOA. Strafford Lake Winnipesaukee South. But overall we had a nice time.

We had a great time. We were definitely surprised to be charged for the bedding that was left in our cabin. We were never told there was a charge for bedding that was left out for us. Very odd but other that that we no issues at all.

We have visited this campground countless times and actually held a family reunion there a couple of years ago. They have always been very helpful and go out of their way to provide a great camping experience. We always had a Motorhome but sold it this year and had our first experience in a deluxe cabin. Super accommodations.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Great to hear! We can't wait to host you again!

Our stay was relaxing and fun! My only concerns was the camper we rented smelled like a bathroom the entire time to the point we could not use the bathroom due to the smell, I tried to clean it and it didn’t help, I think it has something to do with being piped into the septic. Also the table in the unit was not usable, when attempting to use it would just tip over, had to use the one outside.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for your review! We will use this feedback to improve and hope to host you again soon.

There were a lot of problems with the camper we stayed in. It had broken furniture, mini blinds, etc. & wasn't properly cleaned. However the staff was very friendly & helpful.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We're sorry to hear of your experience in our camper! We will look into the issues and make the necessary repairs. We hope to host you again soon!

Spots are not big rig friendly. We got our brand new class A all scratched up because sites were very awkward. Dusty roads and lots of holes in them. When it rained the mud was horrendous. Wi fi is advertised, it is a hot spot, not "wi fi" not strong at all.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Hi James! It has been quite the wet Summer all over this year and it's unfortunate that it impacted your stay. We grade the roads as often as weather permits. We are happy to move sites for our guests, when requested and available! We can be reached 24/7 for any onsite needs at 603-332-0405 option 1

Nice, small campground. Staff members were friendly. The kids enjoyed the activities, pool, and pond. The pond was much smaller than expected. Activities included karaoke, candy bingo, tie dye, movies, and dodgeball. Our biggest complaint was the flies. They were awful at our site which one was road behind the playground. You couldn't even sit at the site during the day due to the flies.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Hi Heather! We are happy to hear that our staff, amenities, and activities were a bright spot in your stay! We're happy to assist with anything we can while you're onsite and can be reached at 603-332-0405 option 1 at anytime.

Activities for the kids were well-planned, staff were very helpful and friendly, campgrounds were clean, bathrooms exceptionally clean. Can’t wait to come stay again next year.

Thank you so much, Lynne! We can't wait to see you and the fam next year!

This site was the perfect location for our 2023 Family Vacation. We had a blast, the site was clean, and staff were extremely accommodating and friendly. The pool and splash pad were great for the family, the lake was perfect for our older girls whether it was paddle boarding or floating around in a tube. We normally plan day trips while on the KOA sites however no need here, plenty to enjoy.

Thank you, Thomas! The team and I hope to see you all again soon!

We were placed close to the playground, the cable would not work for us in the RV even though the host service found no fault in the cable service. The showers were HUGE! Overall it was a nice place to spend the night.

Thank you for the review, John!

When we arrived at our cabin there was an empty bottle of water in the parking space, a toy from another family in the top bunk, and in the rented golf cart, a cigarette butt and key card. We did inform the manager and she was extremely apologetic and offered us some wood. There were so many flies around and inside the cabin which really made it difficult to sit outside and gross inside.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Hi Leah! It was a pleasure to speak with you regarding your concerns. I appreciated the opportunity to fix your issues as you were checking in and bring you and your family some firewood for letting me know. I hope next time we host you and the family we're able to accomplish a higher rating!

We loved our stayed. The one thing that we had a minor issue with was the hot water and the very strong smell the water had. This was not our 1st stay here but it was the 1st time we had this issue. We do plan to come next summer. Our girls love the pool and paddel boats.
Aug 26, 2023
Not bad but too many young children operating golf carts and just riding around. I thought you had to be a certain age to operate golf carts. I only saw one adult working at campground, it looked like all very young kids running campground and nothing was explained to us at checkin. Also roads need attention in park and especially entrance with dropoff from main road and potholes need filling in.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Hi Glen! We have a wonderful staff onsite 24/7 to assist with anything (including reporting possible violations of our golf cart policies) reachable at 603-332-0405 option 1. Thank you for your feedback!
Aug 25, 2023
Fantastic! Well let’s put campground with generous site sizing and well placed trees that made sites feel very private and great shade. Price was a good value, and there were great amenities. Pool was huge, lake was always busy with boats and fishers and the playground was amazing. easily in my top 3 KOAs of all time. If I ever make it this far north again, would absolutely stay here.
Aug 25, 2023
Great location and our site was perfect Thanks
Aug 25, 2023
It was fun, a lot of amenities and the pool and water slide were great! Also happened to catch a karaoke night and had a blast! Sites are definitely a little too close together but all and all we had a good time!
Aug 25, 2023
Seems different this summer, less activities and much quieter.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

With kiddos going back to school, things do quiet down around here! Come visit on weekends to share fun activities such as tie-dye and candy bar bingo! Hope to see you there!
Aug 24, 2023
Your staff were over the top friendly, cheerful, and helpful! They really made us feel welcomed! The campground was well maintained and there was plenty to do, although we chose to mostly relax. Thank you for a great week! We look forward to our return in October!
Aug 24, 2023
Was given wrong information when we called about our cabin so we didn’t bring anything to cook with because we were told we had a stove, lie. We were told we had linens & then when we get there we had to pay $6 for linens. camp store is only open until 6pm, the water slide is only open from 1pm-6pm. Pool is open until 9pm every day with no lifeguard on duty. Manager T did try to accommodate.
Aug 24, 2023
This is an excellent campground for kids. Oh, daughter enjoyed both the campground, the playground, and the slide. It is awesome being able to bring your fuzzy friends with you to enjoy the experience. Overall, the campground was very well-maintained and the staff and very nice. Also, if you wish to catch bass in the pond, wacky rig senkos in a chartreuse green catch the big bass!

The tv did not work in the room. There was a fan on the wall but no plug to plug it in. The staff was incredibly rude. I went to the counter multiple times to check items out or ask a question and the staff at the counter would just stare blank at me and eventually say what do you want, it doesn’t seem like anyone is running the place. We came here because we had a great experience previously.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

The team was incredibly accommodating and happy to serve you and your family. No one on this team would speak to our guests in any such manner. The tree tent reserved has an outlet plug directly underneath the wall fan.

Small but hearty. Friendly staff!! Small dog park (outside of the campground) close sites to one another. Better for smaller groups or for someone just going up for a day or two. In my preference that would probably be that last time I go to that location!
Aug 23, 2023
Great campground, friendly staff and very clean, lots to do for the kids
Aug 23, 2023
Our stay was the best! The staff is wonderful and very neat grounds.

This was our 3rd time at Strafford KOA and we'll be back later this summer and we're already looking forward to it! The campground is very clean. The staff is always friendly, helpful and accommodating! We love coming here!
