beautiful, small and serene campground. the campsites are distinctly private, there are bathrooms on site + water access + firewood sold on site. our campsite had a fire pit, picnic table, and a small trail that led to the lake. the basin is the highlight of this campground. one of the nicest swimming spots in the area and very quiet! be careful for leeches if swimming. note: there is bad cell reception in the surrounding area.

First of all five stars is not enough. This place is top notch. If you are looking for a place to unplug and get back to nature visit North Chatham, NH. This campground offers well maintained sites that feel private. There are numerous hiking trails to choose from as well as canoeing in Basin Reservoir, visiting Emerald Pool and Rattlesnake Pool, or relaxing at Wild River in Evans Notch. The staff is generous and kind and went above and beyond for us. Especially Mike who found my daughter's phone and made sure it got returned to her safely. The views are stunning and once you settle in you might not want to leave.

Breathtaking scenery, decently private campsites, clean bathrooms, helpful camp host, nearby trails, on the water…will go back!

Spent almost 3 days here. The campground is very well maintained as well as the area around the pond, if you want to swim beware of leeches. I wasn't expecting to loose cell reception but it was a nice respite from technology for the weekend. The bathrooms definitely need work but luckily the porta potties were very clean.

I used to love coming here, and miss the old camp hosts. The campground bathrooms have become unusable/very dirty and most recently, they shutdown the campground due to the bathrooms due to plumbing issues. I hope the new hosts can become more organized to restore this place to how Carol and Roy used to manage it.
