the owners are very ignorant. Carl yelled at my 83 year old mother and i left the next day. i stayed there for a month. he would tell you he don't need your $$$. he said he owns all the campgrounds. well i don't care I'm trying to camp with family. always snooping around your trailer. never a hello or how you doing. i went with my girlfriend abd mother and all that i saw was carl yelling at his kid and others he runs a camping trailer company out of the campground. dangerous for kids on bikes. yells at you to go 5 mph. then he goes 20 by you on an atv. very unprofessional read more

While we have not stayed at the campground, we have dropped in a couple of times for fresh water and to dump (for a small fee). The owner was so helpful and friendly! The campground is small, but very cute with a lovely pond in the middle. Lots of trees and beautiful flowers. I would definitely stay here if I had the chance. Highly recommended!! read more

This place is not a place that you want to spend your nights away from home. The owner was disrespectful, he couldn't even get our name right. He was too busy doing his own things than his customers. He was never in the office and never answered his phone. The showers were full of mold. It was a very small campground, only having 20 sites. This is not the place for you if you are staying at the campground the whole time. Not a family friendly place either, there isn't much to do at all. read more

My wife and I had a wonderful time at saddleback. Our site overlooked the pond, as all of them pretty much do. Nancy and Les were so much help from arriving and help during our stay. I had called short notice and asked about a campsite for that night for a week. Nancy wanted to check with her husband to make sure we would fit, took my info and called me back within 15Mins. Her response, Come on over. They help us get backed in and said finish up then head over to the office to finish registering. Nancy explained the passport america membership and what it would save us so, it paid for itself. We signed up and covered the membership fee and still saved money on the week of camping. Nancy provided a good book of campgrounds and also gave us pamphlets and menu's in case we wanted takeout or delivery. My wife had to get lab work done one day and Nancy knew, gave us exact directions. The really do go out of their way to make sure you are setup and comfortable. If they are out and about you can always get a friendly wave or conversation while walking or pop into the office with questions. We spend a week there 8/13 thru 8/20/15. Les was always busy doing something. I don't know where he gets his energy. The best part was no mosquitoes this week. I talked to one of the neighbors and he said you would not of said that last month. But we were extremely lucky. I though it was from the frogs doing their job. The playground looked to be well planned out. We didn't have kids with us. There are two stations of nets for the kids to catch frogs, which was a nice touch and I never have seen this at a campground in the past 30 yrs of camping. Les and his helper rerototilled the beach one day and worked on picking up any and all rocks that cropped up after raking the sand smooth again. We were self contained, I did go over and check out the bath and showers which were clean and equiped with a hairdryer for the ladies. 2 showers and two restrooms for the campers use. It is a relitively small campground this affords them the opportunity for you to feel welcome, as a guest while traveling, with maybe 10 transient sites, the rest are seasonal. My wife and I like the series big brother and unfortunately we could not get reception for CBS network. Les brought over one of the rental satellite boxes and hooked it up to our satellite prep connection. Unfortunately it would not work in the bedroom. Later I realized that the input to that connection terminated in the main entertainment center and another cable fed from there to the bedroom. Just the fact that Les spend his time working on this was outstanding even if it didn't work. Where else are you going to get this kind of effort by a campground owners. It was a welcoming relaxing change of pace from some other campgrounds where its just. Give us your credit card follow the yellow highlighted map to your site and thank you for staying with us type of attitude, we have come to (complacently) accept from the larger resort type of campgrounds.

What a wonderful surprise! We had to spend a couple of nights somewhere while waiting for the repair shop to work on our generator and they suggested this place. What a great suggestion! They are friendly and helpful, everything is clean, it's pet friendly and we even had fireworks and ice cream social for the weekend. What a difference from other RV parks across the country! We have added this to our must stop places for next summer. read more

I will not write a review as I am the owner of this campground that Caitlyn C called the "Worst campground she had ever been to". I will not allow myself to talk bad about these people as that is not what we do. Many campers think that campgrounds are for loud parties and all nighters. Saddleback has waiting lists for folks that want to come here for the quiet we have here BUT apparently this is NOT the place for these campers. Our reviews speak for themselves and as you can see from the other reviews this one is the ONLY bad review. It speaks to its writer. However, I can state a few facts. For those who do not know the law in NH states that we can remove any camper(guest) at anytime and they must leave or they can be charged by the police TITLE XIX Chapter 216-I:6. Additionally 1. The police were called by myself the owner AND other campers in the campground due to the behavior and violation of every rule by these campers we have here at Saddleback.These folks think that rules do not apply to them. 2. These campers kept the whole park awake till late into the evening after quiet hour began for the one night they were allowed to stay. We did not evict them simply because we did not want to uproot their kids in the middle of the night otherwise they would have been escorted off the property about midnight by the police. 3. These campers were given a credit to their credit card, as that is how they paid, immediately upon their request at 10:22AM, ( I have a copy if anyone is interested)something no campground ever does BUT we did so as a gesture to our credibility. We only have to refund money by law if we evict them. These people chose to leave BEFORE we had the chance to evict them. 4. These campers after receiving their credit still stayed for over 2 hours and finally the police were called (after they continued to yell at me), to remove them from the campground as they were not leaving on their own. 5. During the time we waited for these campers to leave We received phone calls from other campgrounds asking us why these folks were being thrown out of Saddleback( this is not unusual as we often are asked for references on campers). We told the other campground owners exactly why were were throwing them out, not abiding by quiet hour, not doing as we ask etc). These other campgrounds including one that has one of these campers family members there as a seasonal camper refused them to camp with them. They say they found a campground they enjoyed I am glad they did. Saddleback Campground is not for everyone.I see tho that they did not write a review on the campground that they ended up at...Hmmm makes me wonder...As far as the playground goes wonder why if she was so unhappy she chose to let her child play there and he had fun....As an added not we invite everyone to come to see our campground and sites BEFORE they camp here and these folks chose not to. As far as the traffic noise goes...well lets just leave it at every other camper has always said to us how quiet it is here and they can not even hear the noise....We are sorry they were not happy here BUT I can tell you that Ronald S (the other review posted on 09/02/14) was here the same weekend they were....seems he had a different perspective about them and Saddleback Campground just saying. Come visit us and see for yourself.....Nancy and Les Haskell owners Saddleback Campground read more

WoW, what a delight! I've had to write a few stinker reviews lately, so now, while I really should be working, I'm delighted to be writing this. My stay here started out amazing, and just got better. The reservation phone call, my greeting upon arrival by the owner, then his son (maybe 14?) showing me to my spot; what delightful people who truly care, and it shows in every aspect of this place. The spots do not have water or sewer, just electric, but everything is close by and convenient. Internet is fantastic, ATnT cell service adequate, although apparently Verizon works best here. The price of $17.50 with Passport America is such a bargain, I am amazed. I normally travel through Good Sam, and this park was not on their list. I'm so glad I checked PA or I would have missed this gem! I'm sitting under my awning, enjoying a gentle rain, looking out over the beautiful pond. I'm surrounded by beautiful planter boxes (someone has a gift for planting boxes!), in this incredibly tidy and neat little park. It is a "park," as beautiful as any park I've been in, with little rolling hills giving different elevations. Each site has tons of space, a picnic table, manicured grass, and a well-placed fire pit. The little pond has specified use areas; frog catching & fishing, a swimming beach and some little sit and appreciate areas. The whole place is gravel, so no riding bikes, but there is a very well equipped playground, and the little "swimmin hole" for kids. Oh and frog catching? That beats riding bikes any day! The bathrooms are rustic; painted cinderblock, but very adequate, well kept and VENTILATED. OMG I wish other places understood the importance of this. They even have a hotel-type hair dryer in them! There is a little storage building next to the bathhouse with a "honor system" washer and dryer. This place has everything. I wish I could get some work done instead of sitting out here enjoying it! read more

I have been on the road in a motor home trip for nine months and would be hard pressed to name a campground that has been as nice an experience and as much fun as this one. Owners are great and really helpful, they spent an hour helping me get my satellite right. Campground is very clean,bathrooms and showers were spotless. All sites overlook the pond for a nice view. This is a great location for exploring New Hampshire and southern Maine. This is a small family owned campground whose owners make you feel like family and friends. Their event weekends are fun and they put a lot of work in on them. The free Wi-Fi works great as did our Sprint and our Verizon cell phones. We really enjoyed our 8 day stay here and look forward to coming back. Highly recommend!!! read more

This was our second year going to Saddleback Campground. It is a quaint, VERY family and pet friendly campground. I didn't have to worry about my kids being exposed to drunken parties and loud music all night. We were always personally invited, by the owner, to all the events that they held. The owner is very conscious of all of his guests well being and safety and has no problem asking someone to leave if they are a problem. The pond is filled with horn pout and is stocked every year with trout, and no need for a fishing license, since it is on private property. Great frog catching for the kids as well as swimming. And they are very reasonably priced. It's pretty much a one man show run by the owner, so if you need to talk to him, he may ask you to wait a few minutes, but always makes a point to help you out. The showers and bathrooms are free too. On sight laundry based on an honor system. read more

I've been to this camp ground a few times, but this Memorial weekend was one of the best times I have had here. In the beginning there were a few complications with our reservation. They we very understanding and patient willing helping us figuring things out. It was a great long weekend and I can't wait to come back again real soon! I felt very welcome by not only the owners and workers, but by all the other campers too. read more

This was the WORST campground I have ever been to. The "swimming area" was full of lily pads. The tent sites were atrocious. They were rocky, on a downward hill. It was awful. You can hear the loud traffic the site. The play area I wouldn't let my son go anywhere near for fear of tetanus. And lastly the owner is the most unprofessional woman I have ever met and is a scam artist. She lied to me on the phone and when we got there is was a completely different story! When we said we wanted our money back we were going to go else where she refused! We had to get the cops involved and got the money back for the nights that we didn't stay. But that was after she came up to the site screaming at as. Save your money and go elsewhere! We went to a different campground right after and was treated incredibly! So def save the money! read more

You will not find any campground owners nicer or more helpful than at Saddleback in Northwood, NH. I have returned year after year for the last 6 or so years, and am always happy to be there. A lovely pond, clean spacious sites, friendly people and a nice town to boot. Saddleback is on my "A list". read more
