Ames Brook Campground

We had a fantastic weekend at Ames Brook Campground! We had a tent site, and it was beautiful and secluded, while close enough to the immaculate restrooms and firewood for purchase. We were coming from the Manchester area, which was a very easy trip. We appreciated the proximity to restaurants and stores for food/supplies, but still felt like we were on vacation and could really "check out". We didn't do much outside of sit at our campsite, listen to and look for creatures in the brook, and enjoy a quiet weekend. 10/10, would stay again!

The staff were very friendly. The facilitates were well-kept and clean. Easy to walk around the campground as it is well maintained and everything was well lit and well marked. It had cameras which were monitored by the staff based on a notice they sent out about a speeding vehicle. Quick drive to the main downtowns and lakes - Meredith, Ashland, Holderness. Quick hop on the highway will take you up to Franconia Notch and the Flume Gorge. We did not have kids or spend much time at the sight but there were two playgrounds and a pool that looked well maintained and clean.

This is a pretty nice campground in Southern New Hampshire with fairly spacious lots. Although I will say in walking around it appears 1/3 to 1/2 of the campground are seasonal lots and some of them are really nice. It also has a pool in seasoned firewood for sale and a nice little nature trail. All the roads and sites are gravel with the sites being pretty level overall and almost all the sites are shaded. I will also say some of these sites require some pretty good driving skills to back into as the angles to back in can be relatively sharp. They have a small camp office / store and a pretty nice laundry as well as a small playground for kids.

Stayed here a few weeks ago for 3 nights for my birthday with my family and was very happy with the size of the campsite we chose. There is a nice short nature walk and a treasure hunt for gnomes to keep the kids busy. Everyone we met was very friendly. The pool was clean and "refreshing" which isn't bad for a late August trip with cool nights the week prior. Bathrooms were clean, the office team was great and even called us to see if everything was ok because we were going to arrive after normal check in times. They left our check-in packet by the door for us, which worked out well. The office does close on a Friday around 4~5, but it's not an issue. Wood is available 24/7 via a camera recorded honesty box, which worked out for us because we showed up close to dark. I'll revisit t

Stayed here due to location for activities we were doing (hiking). Really enjoyed this campground that is big rig friendly. Quiet location yet close enough to major roads. Very clean campground, hosts/workcampers were friendly and very accommodating. Looking to rebook again in 2026.
