    My husband got all cut up trying to help us not die on our "relaxing" tubing trip.

    I GOT ASSAULTED BY ONE OF THE EMPLOYEES. NOT SAFE FOR CHILDREN OR ANYONE FOR THAT MATTER!!! Can I give negative stars??? Only go here if you're ready to be sliced and diced by every tree branch and rock that goes up your butt. We were not informed on how to obtain the information regarding the contract that we were signing. When we returned to the campground after being assaulted by the river that they made us pay $43 each to float down, we raised our concerns and were verbally attacked and then the woman who did not properly inform us on what we were signing screamed in my face and physically assaulted me. Only come here if you're looking to leave with fresh wounds from what should have been a relaxing day; see pics below OH WAIT IT GETS BETTER!!! Our tubes deflated in the middle of the incredibly dangerous trip down the river. Y'all. Be safe. Go somewhere else.

    Pool with hot tub

    Winding River campground Exeter NH is the most friendly group of happy campers on staff! No complaints here very welcoming and been here since June! Clean, maintained family quiet getaway and they are always busy keeping on it! Never long lines at store or even restaurant!!! So efficient especially being such a large campground with so much rain. Im in a RV and luv my site until October. Any problems they r here to help. Not worried at all. Pool & hotub r maintained. Bathrooms scrubbed every morning. Well done to the awesome staff!!!!!! Highly recommend 10*****

    Cabin 60

    4 star for overnight on cabin rental but sadly, 1 or 2 on tubing trip. Cabin #60 is one of two available cabins with electric lights.It sleeps 4 and has bunk beds with a toilet but no shower. There is an AC unit and heater unit and it's pretty nice for minimal/simple avoiding rain and just unpredictable weather. On the closed in porch, there is a stove, shelving, picnic table, mini fridge, microwave, sink etc... There is a lock for the bedroom and another for the porch. Outside has a picnic table and fire pit. It parks 2 cars. It's nice for camping but if you want to avoid a tent, you'd like the cabin. Nearby and probably a one-two minute walk is the office, showers, pool, game room, etc... the other cabin is closer to this stuff, literally next door with privacy (wooded) but I'm sure there it can be noisier bc it's next to people coming and going. Each site has a trash can so you don't need to walk very far. The store and staff are VERY nice. They have firewood, food and camping essentials. Seasonal campers are very friendly if you are friendly as well. Two nights my friends and I joined them for games and it was great! They were so amazing to hear about how they stay every year. The pool doesn't have layout chairs. It's average size and was clean. I enjoyed it when it wasn't busy midweek and loved the solitude of a pool without a crowd. Tubing: Saturday even at opening in July is BUSY. We waiting over an hour at 10 am checkin and didn't hit water until about 12. You need to ask for a life vest. Do it, be safe. You probably want to buy or rent the paddle if you can. They have mini ones you can buy also. Here's the other tip: stay connected to your crew or at least bring a rope just in case. My experience was terrible but I don't blame the campground. We had an overwhelming amount of rain so the water was way high with a very strong current. I hit trees, thorn bushes, got lost from my friends, almost lost my stuff (sunglasses, visor etc..) whenever I got stuck in trees or the crazy current threw me in thorn bushes. I wound up with cuts all over and will NEVER tube or kayak there again just because the water was insane this year. It was seriously like an action movie and not in a good way. Again, not the campground's fault but for me, hell no. I look back and laugh but I lost one of my 9 lives out there, lol.

    This place is a gem. We have stayed here numerous times. It is a throwback campground. Not slot of frills, but nice, clean and friendly workers. Prices are reasonable.

    This is a nice, family run business with the opportunity to go tubing & kayaking. Sites are nice, roomy with elec & sewer provided at some. Accommodations for tents & RVs. Sites are dirt so rainy days are a bit messy. Lots of trees around so it is shady. We had 3 adjoining sites & had a great time. There are things for the kids to do as well as a swimming pool.

    Love this place. Go every year. Friendly staff and peaceful time. If you think it's dangerous or unsafe you should stick to your hole

    Fun trip. You dodge some sticks but it's nothing bad like all the reviews say. It makes it more interesting

    A popular spot in the southern Jersey area of Chatsworth that is well ran but chaotic to say the…read moreleast. While kayaking is a great activity to enjoy while social distancing, everybody had the same idea and the place was packed! Even though we made a reservation, we had to wait about an hour to ride the bus to the send off point and the bus drive made us all a little anxious to say the least. Bathrooms and life jackets seemed to be well kempt but the waits to go to and from the office and parking lot location were super long and made all the guests very unruly and restless. There aren't too many people on staff assisting you when actually kayaking so if you are a pure beginner, I recommend you come with experienced company or you might spend a lot of time hitting logs and tree branches. The view of the kayaking trails aren't too scenic but rather just peaceful. Imagine yourself immersed in the woods in murky water. They are also dog friendly but just in the way that they allow dogs, nothing too special at that. Also, parking gets limited after 9:30 AM so leave your house sooner than you planned!

    A bit pricey - and they REALLY don't like it if you are late...but when you are out in the middle…read moreof nowhere, as you would be if you rent from Micks, how can you complain? They'll even pile you in their rickety bus and drive you to the start. Plus, you know... this is where the Jersey Devil lives.
