Camping in MA/NH? |
Travel Info Where is the best place in either MA or NH that have fair pricings for a group of people who are in college? My friend and I want to go camping as in bringing our own food, making our own campfire, sleeping in tents, a lake near by is a plus Travel Tips I grew up in MA, but never did any camping there except at a couple of state beach campgrounds (like at Horseneck Beach). That's a lot of fun, and the prices aren't bad, but the sites go pretty quick - try and reserve now. There are some nice state ones near Taunton and Plymouth in MA too that have ponds/lakes - I've walked through them but never camped at them. Southeast MA was my area, so I can't really speak to the other areas, though I've been through some out in the Berkshires that were nice too. In New Hampshire, we used to camp either along the Kancamagus Highway through the White Mountains or at Gunstock near Laconia (not too far from Weir's Beach on Lake Winnipesaukee ). Gunstock used to be a state park but is now private - I've stayed at under both ownerships and there wasn't much difference - pretty good. Along the Kancamagus Highway are some good spots - no lakes, but few of them have rivers or streams running through them or nearby. Some are more primitive than others. Note that a lot of campsites limit the number of people in any one group. You can get adjacent spots, but they might limit any one site to something like six to ten people (which would be getting crowded anyway, for one site).

Other Travel Tips Laconia, Gilford, Alton, Meredith, Weirs Beach, Moultonborough, Wolfboro NH are just some of the towns that are in the Lakes Region Area that are surrounded by Lake Winnipeasuakee. Go to the state of NH web page and check out the tourist info sites. When we go camping we go to Old Orchard Beach,ME because we like the ocean. Kangamangus Highway in New Hamshire. Southern Maine (York Beach) is wonderful too. My favorite camp ground is Pine Acres Campground in Raymond, NH. Its really easy to get to, right off the highway, only 50 minutes from Boston. You just take 95 North to exit 2 (101) and take 101 West to Exit 4 or 5 I believe, then it is like a mile from the exit... It's great, they have a lot to do and they are pretty lenient with what you can/can't do. There are a crapload of seasonals there though (a bunch of my family have seasonal spots there...) and it's on a lake and it's very clean, compared to most... There's also Sabago Campground in Maine, they are a lot bigger and there are lots more activities and the lake is a real lake (big), they are much more strict though, like no pets... Theres also a ton of campgrounds in the White Mountain area and also the lakes region, and there's Weirs Beach, which has a bunch of small grounds in the area... |
