This is my personal review of Sun River Campground
743 Suncook Valley Rd Hwy 28
Center Barnstead, NH 03225
Pros- Cheap (buy you get what you pay for)
Cons-
Nightly rates are not all that cheap at $65/night with only water+electric.
Office is never opened, and they don’t answer the phones. The rec room (also part of the office) was redone last year to include a new TV and a bunch of old furniture. Would not be bad in a pinch if it were ever open.
The front of the campground (where you first drive in) is very run down with old campers. These are all 2-way sites (water/electric only) but have seasonal campers. There are also rentals that are older campers. The electrical in this area is very poor and barely supplies enough to run a camper air conditioner. We would normally have to shut the AC off to run the coffee maker.
The Back of the campground, where all the 3-ways sites, is party lane. It is called this because the campers party and play corn hole all night. Not a good situation for young family or older campers that like to sleep at a reasonable time.
Bathhouse is very rustic and not always clean.
There is a river that runs through the camp but is almost always dried up.
There is a small playground near the one bathhouse. This is the only entertainment for children.
There is no laundry facilities, pool, or any other means to keep from extreme boredom.
In addition, there are a number of homeless people living in the camp ground all year long (yes even in the winter with no running water). Some of these folks have questionable background which forced many of the seasonal campers to installed security cameras on their sites for protection.
This was the breaking point for us. It was unacceptable that we had to install our own camera to watch over our belongings while we’re not there. When we brought our concerns to the owners they simply blamed each other (the owners and workers there) and didn’t do anything to help secure the campground. They actually harassed my wife and I just for bringing our concerns to them.
We started seeing RV’s and cars broken into and things stolen around the campground.
This is why we left Sun River Campground and I DO NOT RECOMMEND this campground to anyone, seasonal or transient. It’s not worth the worrying about your stuff being stolen or vandalized. There are many other very nice Camps in the area.
Keep looking and Good luck.
