We love exploring campgrounds. We certainly found a great one with Mountain Lake Campground. Located in Lancaster, NH is a beautiful privately owned campground. The campground is located on a small pond with spacious sites and lots of great amenities. When making reservations online you can see which campsites are available and the map provides pictures of all of the sites.
We were on site 66 which was spacious. Beside us it looked like they were getting ready to build something, but there was no construction during our visit. The only negative aspect of our site was it was rocky gravel and no grass, which is not a big deal since we have a pop up camper.
Most of the campsites are spacious and some of them have beautiful views of the pond. There are also cabins, a yurt and a teepee to stay in.
There are several amenities. The pond offers swimming, canoe rentals and fishing. There is a rec hall with games, an outdoor checker and chess board, a camp store with ice cream, souvenirs and camp necessities as well as muffins in the morning. There is a mile long nature trail and a playground.
The best part of the campground for our 11 year old was the heated pool with two waterslides.
Overall we loved our stay here and would absolutely be back. We enjoyed sitting by the pool, walking around the campsite and enjoying the natural beauty of the area. Our daughter loved that at night the pool lite up with various colors, as well as riding her bike around the campground. The campground was very quiet and peaceful. Staff were friendly and helpful. The only downside is there is only one bathroom. If you are camping at the end of the campground it can be a little walk to the bathroom. It was almost a quarter of a mile walk from our campsite to the bathroom.
While camping there are several opportunities in the area for hiking, visiting Santa’s Village or exploring Littleton which has a great Taproom called Littleton Free House Taproom and Eatery. For that sweet tooth make sure you check out Chutters the Worlds Longest Candy Counter.
