Conveniently enough there is no recommendation/review page set up for this place but i thought I…read morewould share my experiences good and bad from my recent stay last weekend. This was the only place left with availability for the holiday weekend, I booked there on site camper for two nights. It was a bit expensive for a camper in the area it was in but I decided to bite the bullet because they offered Wi-Fi and the town of Warren has ZERO cell service no matter who the provider. The WiFi in itself was spotty at best, I didn't expect service like at my home but even a McDonald's has a stronger connection. The camper itself started off at $185 a night, a bit pricy but it is a new model so we went with it. The whole purpose of our trip was to rider four wheelers and the park charges $10 per machine for the office to register them(still can't figure out what that entailed for the fee) then $10 per night, per machine to park them OUTSIDE the park, so basically after riding you're walking a football field or two length back to your site. It was really a pain loading them up the first trip when we had to make numerous trips getting all of our gear! On top of those charges it was also another $25 per trailer per night and they only had spots for 6. We had two trailers and had to park one on the other side of town. It seemed as if there was plenty of areas around to accommodate us parking it. As an afterthought someone older or someone that has issues walking would not make it from their machines to their site! The camper itself was okay, we were told it had two bathrooms, this was not true. Then last minute found out that no linens are included, which is kind of an inconvenience especially for the amount charged, and the fact that I was subjected to a $35 room tax, yet they said they don't have to have them because they aren't a hotel? Needless to say we packed up all the pillows and sheets and planned to make the best of it. Warren is known to have one restaurant that closes early, or runs out of alot of food or is packed. So I planned on grilling food since we were told there was plates and cutlery and other kitchen items. Um there was no grill, I would think they would rather provide one and not have people cooking inside. I have a new trailer the same age and have never cooked anything inside. The unit was clean when we got there but The ac was off when we arrived and turning it on there was the smell of dust everywhere I opened up the filter and it was filthy, also the unit itself probably not totally level because the middle felt soft walking and it was noisy and the screen door would not latch, that's usually an indicator that it's not level. Only other observation I mad is that the bunk bed in the back looks like a death trap. It's set up in a fashion with very little support. The gourmet themselves were very clean,. Well maintained, and lots for the little ones to do. Including a pool, splash pad and a pretty cool play ground set up. if my daughter was hound enough I bet she would've had a blast there! Last thing would be the bath house, something that's always hard to comment on because no matter what they can be criticized. But they seemed clean and up kept. They have showers that are 5 minutes for a quarter. The shower really never got to an acceptable temp when it's 50 degrees out and no heat inside the place and the windows and doors propped open. I also noticed it had a dropped ceiling that was king of nasty and out of place. Only other comment on the bathroom is the the toilets are not a.d.a. Compliant and may be very hard for older people to get up from. All in all it was a decent campground, if I had brought my own trailer I'm sure I would've had zero complaints, but they more you pay the more you expect. My main issue would be the aspects of charges for four wheelers and the placement of them. The sites that you rent for your trailer do not even have enough room for your machines next to it. If the place was full you would probably be expected to put them back on the trailers!

If you have a family whether they are young kids or older I HIGHLY recommend NOT staying here. No…read morematter what I did with my family I was penalized for it. Riding bikes when it got dark NOT ALLOWED. Playing with toy cars NOT ALLOWED, sitting and TALKING around a camp fire at my own sight NOT ALLOWED cause apparently talking is being loud arborist hours. All adults sitting have conversations as the kids are sleeping. Trust me I'm not waking my kid, so I'm being quiet, for my child's sake and the respect of the people around. But this led to being asked to leave the campground. This is not a family friendly place. Even staff have said the new owners are a lot more strict and don't let people enjoy the camping experience people are used to doing with their friends and family. I wish I didn't even have to give this place any stars as they are NOT deserving of it.

I recently stayed at Pine Haven for a long weekend in June. This place was wonderful! Far enough…read moreoff route 93 where you feel secluded from the main hustle and bustle, but close enough to Walmart, gas stations, restaurants, etc. My friends and I were welcomed by friendly staff right away at check in. The camp store is packed with food and camping essentials. We grabbed a campground map, and luckily a local map, which came in handy as the service in the area is pretty spotty! Not a problem for our group as we were looking to disconnect for the weekend, but definitely something to keep in mind. The camp wifi worked well up near the main areas, but could be a little spotty down by our site; no biggie though. We stayed at site R1 along the river, without hookups. These spots were gorgeous! The white noise of the river while sleeping was so relaxing. Our spot had some good distance from our neighbors, although it appeared some of the other "R" sites are a little close together (great for groups/families!). The area was flat with plenty of room to set up a large 8 person tent, and still have room for the picnic table, fire ring and chairs, and even more tents if needed. Our first day we had some severe weather warnings and quite a bit of rain. The staff was wonderful with driving by and checking on us, as they warned us the river can rise with severe rain. Luckily we didn't have any problems with the river getting too close to our tent. The campground has events throughout the summer that are definitely worth checking out. We were lucky enough to grab some pizzas from the food truck that came to visit! We will definitely be returning here, and recommending this place to friends and family!

Beware, all those 1 star reviews and other bad reviews are true. Owner/ management very rude to non…read morecaucasian guests. Camp sites are deceiving. R-sites are small and going down hill in to the river/ stream. No privacy between sites. These site are below the top of the hill, camping on a slope. They also have a ledge of ground on the edge of site going down into the waters. Definitely can easily injure oneself if not careful. Most fire pits are at the edge of the site under the trees branches, not on flat land looking like it is going to fall and go into the river/stream. Quiet time is at 1030pm. This actually means silent time, lights out and go to bed. Can not sit around fire pit and talk. Booked 3 nights with family only stayed one night. Could not stay because of the owner stalking us at night and did not feel welcomed. Being watched all the time. Keep your money go elsewhere. Speedway near by, hear everything at the campground. Can not even hear ourselves speak with the racing going on there. Non caucasian steer clear. You will be judged the moment you step into the office. Treated with no respect, harass and stalked. Come to think of it, it is like a KKK movie...these ppl will speak to you only to benefit them but behind our backs despises us

My favorite campground in New Hampshire! This is the place to get away from RVs and trailers and…read moreloud noises. OK there are a few spots for groups and you could probably get an RV and trailer up there, but I have yet to see it. The campsites here all have the basics for tent camping: picnic table, fire pit/grill, peace and quiet. Most of the sites are spaced far apart so that you don't turn your head and make eye contact with a neighbor. Some of them are almost completely isolated, and a few have lean-tos (you're near the Appalachian Trail after all). The fire pits are kind of annoying though, they're basically three-sided iron boxes with sliding grates on top. You'll stay warm and can easily cook on them, but not everyone is going to have a great view of the fire. There is garbage on site, pit toilets, potable water, and lots of hiking nearby. In fact, the hiking is probably one of the biggest draws. You could get a spot here and then hike to one of the other campgrounds in the national forest (those are obviously hike-in only), or just spend a few hours in the forest. We saw lots of moose droppings, but no moose. Maybe your luck will be better than mine. The river is nearby and there are several parks and access points to get to it. I saw quite a few people fly fishing last time I was here. You've got to drive to Maine to get here, and then head about 5 miles along a dirt road to cross back into NH. Stock up in nearby Gorham and bring plenty of firewood. You'll want to stay at least two nights, and you'll definitely want to come back.

We enjoyed the creek running through the back of our site as it provided plenty of entertainment for the kids! The weekend we stayed here, the campground was maybe half full? Or that's how it seemed.

There was no loose papers or garbage things or people running around like crazy or dogs or animals out of control. It was very quiet and peaceful sounding really looking forward to going back up there and staying there next year I was already staying someplace else this time. We could only stop for the ice cream we had their own ice cream was homemade. I had like an apple cobbler ice cream. That was very good chunks of apples and everything in it and my husband had pistachio. He said it was one of the best he's ever had homemade always taste better anyways and the girls were very friendly kind. Explain some of the flavors. I didn't know what they were. I did say yes we make all our own from scratch which I thought was really cool. We did send other friends. We are staying with bikers over there for a treat, and several people said the same thing everything was wonderful.

I've camped here a few times and there is so much to like about this campground…read more In the past we've really enjoyed the option to do things on the pond- we've put our inflatable kayak on it and paddled around for a lazy afternoon. Watching people put paddleboards on the water too definitely seems like fun too! The location is great for easy access to the hikes up Osceola and Tecumseh. Waterville Valley and Lincoln are both very close as well so there has been plenty of things for us to do and places to explore. We've made advanced reservations but also had luck with grabbing a first come first serve site by heading up on a Friday morning. But usually the campground is pretty busy so we wouldn't chance getting a first come first serve spot if we were coming in on a Saturday. Even though it can be busy, most groups are pretty good about keeping noise down after dark but its not uncommon to wake up a few times overnight or super early in the morning from a car door slamming or a car beeping. The A sites are pretty remote and much quieter than the other sites. Lately, we've been more enamored by the D sites due to their central location. We were disappointed at our most recent visit that most of the toilets were out of order and that there was only 1 working shower in the entire campground. Hopefully they'll fix this soon since it is a really nice option to have while camping.

Unforgettable experience....as usual! First off, we have been patronizing this campground several…read moretimes a year since the new owners (John and Lisa) took it over a few years ago and made countless upgrades and additions to make this campground one of the best in NH. We stayed here for our usual (3) nights in late August 2023 at our usual (brook front) site (no I won't say the site number... its ours LOL) with my wifey and our "son" (dog). I am constantly amazed how dog friendly this place is. Most notably the welcome he receives upon check-in and the obvious love of animals from the staff. Most notable, this past trip a male employee (maintenance) I believe (sorry I don't recall your name) went above and beyond by showing our dog so much love, making it a point to stop and say hello to him in passing and even bring him his own bag of dog treats on our last night (which he devoured before we got home). The campground has (3) amazing dog (ambassadors) which make the stay even more enjoyable. First there is Lacey, a quiet yet reserved doggo with an obvious sense of class and sophistication. Then there is Tyson and energetic lab who will be your best friend if he sees you with a ball. Last but not least there is Rocky the rottweiler who has been the "framed" by some bad reviews as intimidating (LOOOL) he is an amazing, well trained, kind, asset to this campground and it is your loss if you find him to "Intimidating" to say hello to as he is passing by sitting shotgun on the chrome wheeled chariot (golfcart) that he frequently "patrols" the campground in. Most notable in some negative reviews this campground has rules! and has security! for a reason! The rules are simple (DRIVE 5 MPH!) It's common sense! You wouldn't speed through a school zone so why a campground with countless kids and animals! And yes, if you speed you may get told to "slow down" please don't take offense to this like your being personally attacked. It's the employees and owners taking a stand to ensure their guests are safe! The second rule is "Quiet ours are 10pm to 8am". If you are making excessive noise during this time, yes, you most likely will be spoken to by security. Again, don't take offense to this "outrageous" rule. This campground is surrounded by (2) beautiful brooks and the last thing that needs to be heard is excessive noise in such a great location. We can honestly say in the several years we have been coming here we have never had a noise issue. However, if you do have an issue there is a convenient phone number you can text where your issue will be addressed promptly. Everyone here is either guests or friends which shows by the extent the owners (John and Lisa) go to ensure you are having a great time. The few negative reviews I have seen are mostly because you didn't give them a chance to go the extra mile for you, or were just plain rude or entitled. We have personally seen the owners and staff go the extra mile multiple times! As far as the campground itself its situated in the heart of the white mountains close to many major attractions (Clarks Trading Post, Kancamagus Highway, Storyland, Santas Village, Flume Gorge, Polar Caves, Lost River Gorge) to name a few. This campground is wooded! Yes, there are no wide open spaces it's a wooded campground in the heart of NH and there are trees, winding roads and each site is unique. The owners made it simple to plan your visit by having posted photos of many sites online as well as provide information while booking explaining what the features are to each site and what type of equipment it can accommodate. There are rustic (primitive) sites, full hookups (water, elec, sewer) as well as gorgeous "Glamping" cabins and more rustic simple wooded cabins! The (3) restroom/bathhouses are always clean and welcoming. The onsite laundry room served us well after we were ill prepared during a NH summer downpour! During the day (especially weekends) there are activities such as games (Human bumper ball!!!) as well as "Fairy walks!" Ice cream socials, arts and crafts and our personal favorite the "dance parties!" featuring the fairy lights (see attached photos) during the evening the area around the bridge is lit up by countless laser lights which reflect off the trees to create a truly unique experience. Each time we arrive our site has been immaculate and ready for us which is another kudos to the amazing staff. After writing this review, I feel like I have not touched the surface of topics I could talk about regarding this campground. We will continue to patronize this campground and consider it "our campground" and our "home away from home!". 10.5 out of 5 stars! -Lavoie family!

This campground has a lot of potential, While the campsites themselves are well maintained, with…read morenice river views, the overall campground is not. The bathrooms are old and dirty, with walls and doors that clearly need to be scrubbed of built-up grime and feces. The showers are quarter-operated, but unreliable and some without temperature control. The amenities listed online are also misleading. The "playground" is really just a small baby jungle gym, and the area that should be a playground is a complete waste of space. Across the street, they have a so-called swimming beach but it is nothing more than a mosquito-filled pond with a sunken paddle boat. The train is nice and freshly painted, but the swing set is in terrible shape and really needs to be removed before someone gets hurt. The water wheel advertised on the website doesn't work and doesn't look like it has in quite some time. On top of that, there's no WiFi service. With some updates and proper upkeep, this place could be wonderful--but as it stands, it's disappointing compared to what's advertised.

Just like the pictures…read morethey have a beautiful green lake that you can just jump in, their saunas are also super relaxing I love the view of the lake while we are turning into cute lobster, the paddleboard are so good to the point I had to order one myself! The bathroom was super clean everything it's neat and organized, free tampons and pad in case of a emergency, the bean bags outside super comfortable, the bedding and room super comfortable and we love the "get closer" game and the small house books definitely inspired us to get once we retire! Moral of my review we are definitely coming back every year or even multiple times, the owner is super nice and the way he would send us messages days ahead to prepare us definitely ease my mind as someone who gets anxious for wanting to know everything ahead of time! Also you can definitely catch fish but always catch n release we actually caught a rainbow trout such a beautiful fish

Was so looking forward to this trip as the majority of reviews and the pictures posted made this…read morelook like a true relaxing, fun, vacation resort to spend a few days. Booked online easily and read the fine print about checking in prior to 3pm accruing additional charges, so we planned our departure accordingly to arrive @3. As we arrived at 230 a worker guided us into the checkin line and was courteous and friendly and gave us instructions checking in at the main office. The women working the counter were friendly and were nice enough to not charge us for being 30 mins early. We were given wristbands that weren't removable to wear during our entire stay. Yuck. We drove to our site and found it easily with the marked map and using the many signs directing you towards site numbers. Unfortunately found we had zero cello service with Verizon and no Wi-Fi as it's only available at the pool area. This should definitely be advertised to guests as you should know this ahead of time to prepare in case of emergency. We arrived on a Saturday and there were quite a few campers but also plenty of open sites. The site was huge. We could of fit an additional camper with our 34 ft motorhome and our car. Level and graveled. Nice natural rock fire pit and a 8ft picnic table. It was very shaded but not quite as private as advertised. You were still right next to other sites with minimum foliage blocking and could clearly see across the road into other sites. We setup easily and then got the kids ready who were excited about the pirate ship at the pool and planned on grabbing some food at the poolside cafe . This is where it went south. We found the cafe to be closed due to a staffing shortage and zero workers in the pool area. We were informed that there would be no lifeguards but found it concerning that there was zero supervision of resort rules. The pool was quite crowded and kids were barreling down slides with zero concern for each other. There were grownups at the pool but seemed like the kids definitely out numbered them which led me to believe that many were there unsupervised. And the ones that were "supervising" were clearly drinking and smoking and barely paying any attention. Our kids got to use the slides anyhow as I had to referee and monitor when it was safe to come down and keep kids from horse playing at the bottom. Not relaxing to say the least. We stayed for about 2 hours and then headed back to our site to eat as we were starving at this point. We had a good night grilling and making s'mores and then the kids wanted to try a night swim so we headed back to the pool only to find they closed it to shock it because a kid pooped in it. Yuck. Headed back to our site and played some board games, it was very quiet and dark which made for a great nights sleep. Day 2 will be better. We took a walk around the campground which is huge. Lots of seasonal folks here. There are a few nature trails which were nice but the drought has dried up the stream and natural pool which is unfortunate. We headed back to the pool and it was packed. No workers in sight still. I'm fact I had only seen about 3 workers on gators with the exception of the office ladies this whole time so far. Spent the majority of the morning monitoring safety of my kids in the pool and on the slide until miraculously in the afternoon one of the guys who was driving the gators went to work at the top of the slide. What a difference that made! Kids going one at a time now and no hanging out at the bottom of slides. I could relax a bit. It was short lived though and he left after about 2 hours. The next few days were much of the same. Chaos at the pool, closed cafe, and very little supervision of resort rules which seemed more like suggestions at this point. We ventured out and found some things to do relatively close by such as the polar caves and shopping in Plymouth. Overall we won't be back as it wasn't for us. We are used to KOA and only tried this based off the website pics of the pool and being advertised as very private sites. Our experience would have probably been a lot better had they had more staff which could have made opening the cafe and monitoring the pool possible.
