Yes there is a 1/2 mile walk to the trail and then 1/2 mile walk back to your parked car no biggie…read moredon't let that deter you from doing this hike. Agree there are better views in other parts of NH but this is ok. Bugs are vicious on certain parts of the trail and better off brining a bug net because someone else posted they don't care if you have bug spray I mean I even walked with can, I would still hike it though I prefer paid for parking on the website it's 5.00$ a person and you can use the whole state park for all day It was full of camps for swimming so if your not a fan of a lot of people maybe this lake is not for you Hope everyone enjoys there time there

Our walk/hike on the Shaw & Fundy Trails were perfect because they are well-trodden, pine-needle…read morecarpeted trails that were good for our sister who has a bad knee & can't handle trails with vertical climb, tree roots &/or rocky faces. The trails passed by marshes, over creeks &, at times, we had to navigate through areas that had some minimal flooding. Signage is practically non-existent, with arrows primarily @ intersections & also kind of confusing where the parking lots are for the trailheads. There is very little blazing on the trees but again, the trail directions are obvious. Not too much indication of wildlife, although, of course, we were in the thick of the trees. The folks at the Visitor Center are super friendly, knowledgeable & helpful.

Car blaring music at a site, people yelling - it's currently 11:33pm and I will have to wear noise…read morecancelling headphones in order to sleep. We've RV'd all across the USA - this is the first 1-star review I've ever gifted a park and I'm only doing this to warn others to keep driving! Our next door neighbors were fantastic, the first night we all sat by the fire and chatted but the second night was just so bad with drunk people yelling and the loud music.... Everyone sadly went inside because it sounded like it would eventually turn into a domestic situation that none of us wanted a part of for our own safety. The car vacuum and tire air machines were inoperable. The trash is only at the front entrance, none others throughout the large campground - which we empty daily so that's a bit of a haul to the front gate each time. The golf carts non-stop all day and allllll night... over the speed humps - annoying. I didn't use the restrooms - there was a young boy tormenting his screaming sisters with wet toilet paper balls in them... never saw a parent - ever so I didn't approach. Positives are that the laundry room was in good working order and the gift shop staff was nice, check-in was easy. Overall - do not stay here until they get this park back under control.

I really wish I could give less stars…read more We went twice to this place to give it the benefit of the doubt. The first time once the office closed the golf carts were speeding everywhere , children driving. There was someone near the beach screaming all night , partying and drunk driving the golf carts up and down the road below our campsite. We got No Sleep The second time we went there we stayed at the opposite side from last time , thinking it would be better but it wasn't. There was glass everywhere on the ground from broken beer bottles. We asked for a certain site weeks before and they ended up giving our site to someone else. What is the sense of reserving sites . We Brought our dogs with us this time, and kids would continually walk up behind them and trying to pet them as they were sleeping scaring them to the point I was petrified they may nip a kid. The young children were walking through multiple camp sites and just randomly talking to people . we could not get them to leave. We could not get a second to relax. The bathrooms were disgusting, fecal matter all over the place .. they shut the bathroom down once I called telling them it was hazardous. The next bathroom near us was closed the last time and this time we went , so instead of them fixing the issues they just made them out of order and we walked 20 minutes to the other side of the camp to pee. The people across from us , who from the look of their site were regulars , they had so many lights on their site that you could probably see them from the moon. The lights shone into our tent each night we were there. The music was Blasting the whole time, we could not hear the birds at all. Just the music from morning till night. We could barely walk our dogs around the campground because the golf carts were speeding up and down the roads . This place was not relaxing at all , I am embarrassed for this campground. I tried to attach a video of how loud the music was but yelp doesn't allow that just pictures.

It is camping the way it used to be! The sites are spacious and can accommodate RVs of all sizes. There are also tent sites along the Lamprey River. Canoes and kayaks are available to borrow. There is a rec hall with ping pong, pool, puzzles, games, etc. A small store sells ice, firewood, snacks, and ice cream. There are monthly potluck dinners and other activities throughout the summer. The campground is kept neat and clean, and campers have commented on the cleanliness of the bathrooms and showers. Wellington Camping Park is owned by the Wellington family, and it is managed by a woman named Gail. She is a wonderful manager, fair, and well respected. Give this campground a try. You will not be disappointed!

However, prior to quiet hours we were approached by staff stating we were too rowdy and that we were acting "stupid". We have been to several campgrounds over the years and have never been spoken to about being quiet prior to quiet time nor have we ever been insulted and called stupid. The staff could have certainly approached us differently instead of ridiculing us. Two sites down there were people who were louder than we were who did not get spoken to. Not sure why we were targeted. Unfortunately we will not return.
