Cozy Pond Camping Resort

Nice enough campground, not too busy and we have a decent site with a little privacy except… It’s almost ten pm and the seasonal camper next to us has a huge outdoor TV screen set up and is listening to his movie at movie theater sound levels. nobody to complain too! I know quiet hours are from eleven pm on but come on have some courtesy. I can’t believe this is the first time this has happened. Doubt we will be back, too bad

Really looking forward to another visit! Bath House is perfectly serviceable; really appreciate having wifi, electric and water (especially since we camp in a tent — that’s enough «roughing it» for me! Owners are pleasant and accommodating. Camp Ground store has everything you might need. If not a short drive to Contoocook is all you need!

Has potential to be much nicer and maybe they will get there by next year. Bath house sinks are nice but showers were gross with built up dirt. They really need to add cement pads to the campground if they want big rigs. Place is just too dirty, even with being able to put a large mat down. They have wifi but it’s only good for surfing the net and not for downloading or sending anything of any size. Pretty remote location too. Probably campers who enjoy a camping experience would be pretty happy but not our cup of tea. We were the only Class A on the property.

Just stayed here for 4^th of July — very «Cozy» place, enough space between camp sites for privacy — but close enough to have neighbors.
Lots of trees and very clean sites. The sites do come with a nice metal fire pit — do be-​careful — if you place anything near the rim it will become EXTREMELY HOT /​just take my word for it.
While there is great tree coverage, it is safe to say that brining a pop up canopy is a good idea. Rain or shine /​you’ll be able to sit down and relax without being super hot or rained on.
Pond is a fairly good size, and if you go at the right time there is a giant slip and slide down the hill.
Fire wood is a available and they’re sweet enough to let you take some after the shop is closed and pay in the morning!

I really liked this place. This campground is under new management and the new owners are very nice and committed to making this a better place to camp. There are a few kinks that need to be ironed out but overall, this was a great place to camp. The three star rating is simply because those little kinks aren’t quite ironed out yet. They weren’t particularly a bother to me, but I could see why some would be put off. I’d guess in a couple seasons this place will no longer be a work in progress and will be great!
A few people complained about the tent sites, that there should be more tree cover. And I agree, it got very hot and there was just nowhere to go to get away from the sun.
The sites were spacious though and each site had its own fire pit. The water/​electric connections were a little awkward – every time we needed some water or to wash a dish we were standing just about on the site of the people next to us. There was one electrical box and spigot per site but they shared a post between every two sites. Does that make sense?
There is a sandy beach area on the pond. It is a pond so expect to see tadpoles in the swimming area! Again, not a big deal as they swim away as soon as anyone comes near. But the swimming area has been cleaned up, it is not murky until you get farther out. For most adults this is fine since we tend not to do more than dip our feet in or splash ourselves with some water on a hot day. The kids dont seem to mind the murk or the tadpoles, they were happy to try to catch them all day!
There is also a dog pond, which our black lab/​australian shep mix LOVED! It was nice to be able to bring her somewhere to swim as she loves the water and is not allowed at the beach.
The showers were FREE and VERY CLEAN! Very clean, I was amazed! Not a single bug in the shower with me! There were two stalls in operation, one out of order, but still I was never left waiting long for a shower to open. I think a lot of the sites are seasonal and many were campers with showers in them so that left short lines in the bathroom for a shower. There were plenty of mirrors and outlets for my hair dryer too.
There is a large pavillion with a stage, maybe in the future there will be dances and DJ’s and who knows what else! Its in really good condition with lots of picnic tables around. There is also a park for the kids and plenty of campground owned toys for them to play with. There are also canoe rentals for a very reasonable price, although I forget the prices already.
There is an arcade in a giant old barn and if you look on the brochure map, it promises mini golf. We did not see a mini golf area but I’m sure in the future this will be up and running. Like I said, there are a few things to be done but this place will be great once they’re finished.
So on our trip, we found it to be quiet with very respectful campers around us. It was not over-​crowded with people, like so many places we’ve been to. The crowds take away the relaxation piece of camping… We go camping in the woods to get away from the hustle and bustle of every day life. Well, what’s the point of going camping if you’re going to a place overrun with hustle and bustle?! This place has relaxing DOWN. It was lazy and peaceful and I really enjoyed it.
I gave it only three stars because of the kinks that need to be ironed out but I cant stress enough that this place is great! Give them some time and it’ll be perfect!
