Country Bumpkins Campground

Last min decision and we got their last spot for Labor Day weekend. We paid for it a bit. Dogs and kids were EVERYWHERE and neither were well behaved. We heard lots of Massachusetts accents screaming to "knock it off already!" We also were in the spot right next to the walkway to the bathhouse, so had steady traffic going by. Our site #60 was gravel, back in, 30 amp, full hookup. It was slightly uphill, so we had to pull the RV all the way to the front of the site to be able to level.

Tent and RV sites were in our loop, which they called the North section. The center was grass, so we were able to park our toad there.

The check-in was a MESS, again Labor Day weekend, but still. It was almost dangerous. We followed the signs and turned in at the main campground. We quickly realized that multiple people were checking in, we had blocked in someone, and more were starting to back up on the road and were honking. I ran in to get our site number so Jason could move out of the way. The person working the desk said, "don't worry, they can wait" and proceeded the full check-in process. Meanwhile, Jason had decided to pull forward, and given there were no signs he turned immediately right to get out of the way. After I left the office, I realized quickly he had turned against a one way. Now all the rigs were coming in and we had no way to turn around to get out and over to the North loop. We had to detach the toad and back our RV up to get in a position to turn around. It was not fun.

The campground has sites that back up to the Pemigewasset River. As gorgeous as that is, on the hour, every hour, a tourist train comes through on the other side of the river whistling and firing some sort of prop gun maybe (?). It was unexpected to say the least. We didn't talk to anyone about it, and just figured it was the train from the Clark's Trading Post attraction down the street. If you're cool with the train and want a pretty view, go for #46 in the North loop.

The location was great to get to The Franconian Notch State Park to hike and to get on the Kangamangus Hwy for the gorgeous drive to Conway.

Our cell service was great and the campground's wifi most always worked for internet surfing and such.

Although loud with their kids and dogs, our neighbors were friendly asking lots of questions about our rig and why we were so far away from home. We'd stay again for a short trip.

Easy to find right on the highway but if your site is in the open area then the u-turn next to the office is very tight. Maybe call to see if you're in that area and get directions to take you directly there to avoid that turn.

We enjoyed our site in the open space although our satellite still didn't connect. The cable worked fine though. The park WiFi was sporadic, usually not working. We used the free WiFi at Subway in town.

Very nice staff, friendly and helpful, keep the place clean and well maintained. Didn't use the showerhouse so don't know how it is.

Quiet and good spacing between sites. Level gravel site with grass between and picnic table and fire ring. Our fire ring was up against the back fence which was weird but we didn't have a fire.

FHUs 30 amp, good water pressure. The trees in the park were changing color while we were there and absolutely beautiful. Lots to see and do in the area. Good grocery store and services in North Woodstock.
