Great camp ground. Staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. Sites are welcome maintained. Bathrooms are very clean and the showers are cleaned daily. Great place to take your family for a small getaway weekend. Camp and hike Mt Monadnock. This definitely a must for those who want to be able to get up early and tackle that hike. Camp store is well stocked with various camp needs. If you need dinner items best make sure you pack those as they are not able to sell perishables.

Nice campground close to the trailhead to Mt. Monadnock. Firewood sold at the rangers station $6.50 for around 8 pieces.

The primitive camping was amazing! There are wooden platforms if you don't want your tent directly on the ground. Fire rings with cooking grates!
