We've had no problem with our hook ups. Everything ran as it should. The campground has a Wi-Fi, but I did incur some buffering, but this campground also offers year-round camping so I'm sure there was a lot of people using it no big deal They also offer propane fills, which is convenient I booked online, which was easy fast and convenient Check-in at the campground was easy, fast convenient staff member was friendly and answered any questions I had I also felt the price for four days three nights was very reasonable. Total cost was $130. As far as if you need to leave the campground to go anywhere, I would say a Walmart Home Depot Lowe's grocery store in Concord area is roughly 25 to 30 minute ride, which is not bad The transient area in which we camped in we camped in site A4 all of the sites are for campers plug-in area. There are tent sites available, but the area we camped in all of the rv sites were covered in stone which to me seems clean and convenient. There is a pond with picnic tables paddle boats in a beachy area. It's April so no need for that but the view is pretty and it seems that that can only be seen from the transient area, not from long-term camping or from the tent area. There was a beautiful loon on the pond, which was often singing. It was nice to wake up to that in the morning and go to bed to it. There is a bathhouse with an adjacent laundry room. The bath house is very well kept again. This is April. It's very fresh wood and seems to me newly renovated. Water was very hot in the sink. i'm not sure about the laundry room. I did not need it, and the door was locked. There is a small playground for the children with some swings down at the beach Each camping area comes with a nice picnic table. They don't seem to be dilapidated in any way shape form. They also come with a fire ring, but there is no grate to cook on. We did walk the whole entire campground, long-term short-term and tent sites I found the tent sites to be nothing. I would be interested in if I had a tent long-term. There was some great sites deep in the woods overall, would I recommend yes, would I come back yes Thank you for a great first trip!

If you don't want to abide by their you must wear a wristband at all times rule than this campground may not be the place for you otherwise besides being within the proximity of some traffic noise this is a fairly quiet place. There aren't enough campgrounds in NH so if asked if I'd stay again the answer would be yes. Its good value for the current (May 2024) rate.

Overall we felt the park was a little on the dumpy side but only because there are several seasonal…read moresites that aren't being tended to and lots of junk and trash around them. Most of the short term sites are pretty well maintained. We were on site 111 which was directly behind the office. Our site was gravel and sand, level and had water, power and sewer. (Full hookups). There were a few pond sites but they were full. The laundry is simply an outdoor covered area with 4 washers and 2 large dryers. It was not swept often and there was dirt and leaves everywhere. It is attached to the side of the office and the restrooms are there as well. We do not use the communal restrooms or showers so I have no idea of their conditions. Judging from the laundry though I wouldn't have high hopes. The campground offers many activities in the weekends for kids and adults. I enjoyed the bingo game on Saturday night and actually had a couple of bingos! Yay! There was a small playground for the kiddos. They have miniature golf and horseshoe pits as well. They do not have a dog park.

My family and I had our first visit to Cold Springs this past weekend. I was looking for a fun…read moreweekend excursion for the last weekend prior to the beginning of school for my kids (ages 7 and 10). My son really wanted to go camping this summer, so this fit the bill. We don't own an RV/trailer, and tenting is not something appeals to me, we decided to reserve a cabin. I called only a few days advance and they had one cabin left for Sat-Mon. I was a little worried about some of the comments I read on Yelp, especially around the "Nazi-like rules". I'm happy to admit that none of that was visible during our visit. We arrived around 2pm on Sat and the resort was fairly busy, but not overcrowded. The check-in process was a breeze and we liked how the cabins were very close the pools, rec hall and playground. The cabins are rustic, but with some nice amenities. The dorm sized fridge/freezer was perfect for our 2 night stay and the flatscreen TV with DVD was perfect for the bedtime ritual. The cabin has a queen size bed and 2 sets of twin size bunkbeds. (Warning: the "twin" size is a little misleading, they are really 2/3 the width of a standard twin mattress) The cabin has a picnic bench inside and one outside... along with a fire ring and grate for grilling. We immediately headed for the pools after unpacking. There are 4 pools and 3 hot tubs. One pool and hot tub is for adults only....and they also have a pool and hot tub for kids only. There was a DJ playing great music (mostly classic rock). We sat around the far end of the "sun and play" pool which has basketball nets on opposite sides of the pool. I was a little concerned that they opted to use small basketballs instead of something softer. Of course, I saw plenty of kids get bonked on the head with people's "half court" shot attempts. Probably not the best idea. That night they projected a family movie on a screen next to the pool. The first night we grilled hot dogs on the fire and just relaxed. The cabin does not have AC, so we brought a floor fan with us. While it was pretty hot that day and the cabin was a little stuffy when we went to bed, but by early morning the temp had dropped outside enough that I had to close one of the windows and turn the fan off. The private bathrooms (3 total) were only 40 feet from our cabin and very clean. You need your room key to get into the bathrooms (which was little annoying). I loved how they blasted the radio (classic rock) in each private bathrooms. On Sunday morning, we got breakfast at the snack bar and it was delicious. I got 3 scrambled eggs with toast, home fries and ham steak ($6). We went to pool soon after and at 10am my son and I participated in one of the resort art activities and painted on canvas ($15/pp). The staff person was great and really enjoyed her role working with the guests of the resort. After that we spent the rest of the day at the pool area. The place was much quieter on Sunday as most of the non-seasonal crowd departed that morning, and a majority of the weekenders were there Fri-Sun. The kids got dinner at the snack bar (burger/fries and chix tenders/onion rings) and it was very good. That night we enjoyed another great fire and some TV before bed. Some of our neighbors several cabins down had a little bit of a party, and there was some commotion when 2 intoxicated females almost went to blows after a series of F and S bombs, but luckily it deescalated quickly. My kids and wife were inside watching TV, so they didn't hear any of it. Left early on Monday morning as I had to work. We all had a great time and will most likely be back again next summer as its only 35 mins from our house.

As a lifelong camper I can say this was the single worst experience camping I've ever had. I was…read morehere for my husband's birthday (A group of us in our mid 30s). I was horrified when we pulled in as the campsites are tiny and you are on top of each other. There was a man camping next to us who was about 50 something and he continuously came over to our campsite obviously drunk. We spoke to the management about this when she drove by on her golf cart when we were at the lake... they said they would speak to him and that he was here all the time. Throughout the night the woman on the golf cart (presuming it was the owner) she came over constantly and stared us down .. it was very odd. The first night was OK and there was a very loud group behind us but we dealt with it. The next night the woman on the golf cart came constantly throughout the night scolding us like children. We were not being loud by any means and it was hours before the quiet hours. When we were all settling in for the night she returned and started berating us about music...??? when there was no music and we were all turning in. I mentioned why didn't you speak up when the group behind us was very loud the other night? It's like she had it out for us. This woman - the owner whoever she was made our lives hell for the duration of our stay . It was very awkward and uncomfortable and you couldn't relax because she was constantly spying and coming back to our site. It was bizarre. It's like you think they would be appreciative of customers and want to return customers but this was unreal. I would NEVER return here and I recommend nobody booking here. I knew from the moment we came in when the campsites were 5 feet from the next one it would be rough but she dug that nail into the coffin.

This is a very controversial memorial for reasons…read more In 1697, Hannah Duston was a puritan woman who was abducted by Abenaki during King Williams war. The abductors first killed many settlers, including children, as they raided Haverhill, MA. They burned down Hannah's home after taking her, her infant and the infants nurse captive. In the retelling of her tale, it is recorded that the Abenaki murdered her days old infant, in front of Hannah, during their two week march toward Canada. Brutal. She and the nurse were left with another native American family miles from their home, where this memorial stands. This family had adopted a 14 year old English boy who had their trust. With his help, Hannah was able to kill her captors, including six children and make her way down the Merrimack river along with the two other captives. They reached Boston where she presented the MA general assembly with ten scalps she had taken from those she killed and shared her story. Without a doubt, life in 1690's America (when this event happened) was very much a life of struggle. Disputes between English settlers, French Canadians and Native Indians resulted in years of war in this region. The previous King Philips war, which ended in 1657, decimated between 60 and 80 percent of the local, indigenous people. Some of the survivors were sold into slavery. Those who remained banded together with the Abenaki. In the late 1680's the Abenaki joined with the French Canadians during King Williams War to fight the continued expansion of English settlers. As part of raids conducted, they kidnapped English settlers who were then either sold back to their families, or adopted by the tribe to replace members who had been lost to the conflicts. Unfortunately for history, Hannah never wrote about her experience. Her story was retold three times between 1697 and 1702 by Cotton Mathers who believed all Natives were 'instruments of the devil' and savages. You may remember Cotton Mathers as the minister who persecuted residents of Salem, MA resulting in many of them being hanged for witchcraft. So yeah. History only has his version of her story. One hundred years after these events the U.S. is expanding westward and her story is published again as an example of how savage all native people were. The story was used to justify the acts being taken to remove indigenous people from lands settlers wanted. It was at this time that three monuments to Hannah Duston were created, two of which stand to this day. I have many thoughts about these memorials, the life Hannah lived and this experience she survived. I also have many thoughts about the way indigenous people assisted the English when they first arrived, teaching them how to survive. The indigenous peoples were trying to maintain their life and lands. The settlers were seeking a new life. A struggle between those who have what others want. A too common historical story. The hero's depend on which side you are on. We parked in the Boscawen Park 'n ride. The trail head is at one end of the lot and a roadside marker at the other end. Parking is also available at The Northern Rail Trailhead on Commercial Street. Both are about the same distance from the memorial.

Wow - what a crazy story! This is a monument honoring Hannah Duston and her escape from the Abenaki…read moretribe holding her hostage all the way back in 1697! She killed and scalped 10 people geez! It's believed that this is what started the "scalping" trend way back AND that she's the first American woman to be honored with a statue (according to wiki)! Kinda cool! There isn't much to this memorial and it's kinda hard to find...but I'm glad I came - was a fun little adventure! And a very interesting bit of history to learn about. I still can't get over that there are stories this old right here in America! If you're using the Apple Maps app, be aware it doesn't get you here - it takes you to some random field out in the middle of nowhere lol! But google maps got me here (and it used the address 60 Commercial St, Boscawen NH but apple didn't!!) - so be aware! It's right off a main road with plenty of paved parking. The entrance to the trail is well marked, but once you get down a little hill closer to the railroad tracks, it gets confusing. There's a dirt hiking path off to the left (DON'T take this one - it goes nowhere and is super sketchy!) and a paved one off to the right that looks like it dead ends into the railroad tracks - but that is actually the correct trail! And if you look off into the distance you'll actually see the tall statue so you'll know you're going the right way. You'll cross a bridge on a walking path next to the railroad tracks to get to the memorial statue overlooking the river. The area seemed a tad sketchy to me...I would've been a little scared except that there were lots of cyclists around and other hikers, as well as a tour group taking one of those pedaling tours on the railroad tracks (looked really fun)! There isn't much to it - just a statue with some cool info on it - unfortunately it was vandalized by some red paint but it kinda added to the aesthetic, given the nature of the story lol. A fun little side trip if you have time - I felt compelled to see it bc of how old the story is and the crazy nature of the story AND I just so happen to share her name lol!
