Swanzey Lake Camping Area

As a family of three (two adults and a K9) we were looking for a last minute location for camping by tent. I called around to multiple places and settled on Swanzey Lake Campgrounds due to the nature of my initial conversation. The welcoming exchange did not stop at our initial phone conversation. Needless to say we decided to give this campsite a chance and are so very happy that we did. The grounds were clean with easy access and the staff were as kind and friendly as one would hope for. Upon arrival they were upgrading some of their online services which made credit card payment impossible. I was willing to drive to get cash to which I was informed, "stop by tomorrow. We can take care of it then." Gotta say, not many people nor places would be that generous. At every turn we were met with the nicest of people. We truly want to thank them for an amazing camping experience. One for the books.

I just spent 4 nights at this amazing campground. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. The site I had was private and very clean with plenty of room. The lake is crystal clear with a very nice grass area and beach. The bathrooms are very clean, and the campstore was well equipped with lots of cool things. I will be back !!

Just left swanzey lake camping area and I have to say, we really enjoyed our time there! The sites are wooded although you can see your neighbors (we went with friends so it was great, could have been awkward otherwise) LOVED their lake area. Clean beach with a raft to swim out to, plus a section for dogs to enjoy !! Nice big grassy lawn to enjoy cornhole and other yard games. Store was fun, lacked some common supplies but..... everyone that works there was super friendly. Plus there's good hiking and covered bridges to explore close by. We will definitely be going back

Camp, ground so there were no rooms except the one we pulled behind us. Lots were clean and spacious. Never checked showers as we use our own. Basically no complaints here.

We do a lot of camping all around the East Coast. Swansy lake campground, has a good location and the people are nice, but they have clearly prioritized profits over maintenance. It needs about a 1000 trees taken town. The roads need to be maintained and widened. The main drawback is the lack of bathroom facilities and showers. In the campground, there's absolutely nothing. (well, there are a few old fashioned dirt outhouses) And across the street, a 5 minute walk there is a small shower facility with coin operated showers two each and a real toilet. Considering the profits from hundreds of campsites (that were full) this level of no facilities is inexcusable. That said, we had no problems overall and the beach area was very well maintained.
