I felt the need to contribute my thoughts as the majority of feedback seems to come from RV users. The section exclusively for tents is beautifully nestled in the woods, offering more seclusion... it's peaceful and falling asleep to the nearby stream's gentle murmur is delightful. Thoroughly enjoyed exploring the trails directly adjacent to our camping spot and scrambling over the river stones during our stroll along the river. It was also convenient having electricity and water available directly at our site.

We slept in our tent for a night here. The weather got pretty cold but we made sure to bundle up. There was extra wood others had left stacked up. There was some trash left here from previous campers unfortunately. Everything was pretty wet from the rain earlier in the day so we weren’t able to get a fire going. We only had one vehicle drive by in the morning, he sped by twice with his music very loud and smelled of marijauna. It was definitely a little creepy for a group of girls because he was staring us down. Other than that we had a great stay!

Heavily wooded area which isn’t great for solar but we had a great stay in our class B for the night. Trees are starting to turn colors in late September and it was just beautiful. Don’t let the review about thieves deter you from staying! We only saw one other car drive by during our stay. I’m sure if you leave your stuff, people might take it. But we didn’t leave the site, no one bothered us and we never felt unsafe. Hopeful for a bear siting if anything, but didn’t see any animals at all. All sites are numbered, we took number 1 and could see number 2 way down the road but didn’t go any further to check out the rest of the sites. Gravel road is very tame, cell signal with Verizon was close to zero

This is a beautiful place- but I cannot give it a FULL 5 stars like I originally was going to. I was staying here on my trip through New Hampshire, and was invested in staying the full 2 weeks. I asked the ranger, and he said to “show that you are still occupying the lot, leave your camp gear up, that way no one will come and take your lot”. I work remotely, so Monday- Friday I come down the mountain and go to a local Walmart for wifi for a few hours, I come back and a man and his family not only took my lot, even though my foldable chair was there, mugs next to the fire pit, and my sleeping bag for camping was there- but they STOLE my foldable chair. They deliberately pulled their car into the opening of the lot so I could not get in, then proceeded, while my items were still there, to pull in a massive “bang bus” titled school bus, and another vehicle. When I confronted them about it, they lied and said the “ranger walked through” and gave them the ok to take my lot. The ranger ok’d taking my lot even though a person’s things were there? Even though it clearly shows a person is still occupying the lot? The ranger ok’d stealing my items as well? Ultimately, I was so disgusted with these people stealing from me, lying, and abusing the trust and basic decency that humans should have to one another, I left entirely. The system needs to be enforced more here, and lots checked up on regularly with who is staying there and for how long. not coming back again and will not recommend to anyone and everyone

One of the most unprofessional and unpleasant experiences I have had at any campground. The owner runs around in a full blown security guard outfit, armed and with his rottweiler. I'm not sure why exactly, but I'm a bit concerned that a campground needs an armed security guard. The site we got put into was hot, exposed to the sun with no shade, extremely tight and was down the road away from the main campground and up a gravel road in pretty poor condition. I suspected the site wasn't going to be nice when I saw it was so far away from the main campground and surrounded by seasonal sites. But I had called and was told it was beautiful and I would really love it, so I took the chance. Once we saw it I immediately went to the office and asked to be moved. This is when I discovered that the office manager had walked out/quite that morning and was only the most recent in a string of recent resignations. So these poor teenagers were trying to get the owner who was still in bed at noon. I had to wait a full 90 minutes for him to saunter in, and that's when I got the "security guard" get up. The owner, John, got very agressive and said I was making his staff uncomfortable. Proceeded to call me names and even took his gun belt off to fight with me. A real piece of work. We were told to leave and that I won't get my money back. "Get out". So I'm out over $300 now for the weekend. I wish I could give zero star's. Be very careful with this place and this guy. He treats his staff like crap and he has a serious little man syndrome.

I'm not sure why exactly, but I'm a bit concerned that a campground needs an armed security guard. The site we got put into was hot, exposed to the sun with no shade, extremely narrow and was down the road away from the main campground and up a gravel road in pretty poor condition.

We did not stay here. We had planned to stay but there were very few spots that would accommodate our 38 foot Class A. We also discovered that after the first few spots, there is very little room to turn around. We were able to get turned around after a 12 point turn at the end of the road. We did encounter a very belligerent local that was not happy about us having out RV on this road.

Spent 5 nights at the campground in August. Currently, cabins, Rv’s and tent/car campers are all found in the same areas, with the exception of one loop for tent camping only. Owner indicated he intends to institute a new policy where tent campsites must be completely full before he lets a tent camper on an RV site. I have nothing against the tents, just something to be aware of, especially for those staying in the cabins, that we are all there together and you will be looking at a campground full of drying towels and toys. The roads through the campground are tight, rutted, and steep in spots. Not for the nervous driver, and I would not recommend longer travel trailers or 5th wheels. Many trees and stumps close to the road on turns and near sites. We could not pull out of our pull-through site due to the trees (it *might have been possible if the site across the way had been vacant). We were in a 21’11” TT. The rig in the pull-through next to us also had to back out. In addition, one person arrived who was was unable to maneuver into his back-in site and had to move, and another was only able to get in after we moved our truck (which was completely within our site) and he worked his way slowly back and forth around obstacles. We had to raise one side 4” to be level. It was quiet until the weekend, and once settled we started to enjoy our stay. Then Friday afternoon the place filled up with lots of tent/car campers and was literally swarming with kids on bikes (no parents to be found) and lots of noise. Quiet times were enforced, so once it got later, things definitely quieted down. I had intended to do laundry, but the machines looked to be on their last legs and were filthy INSIDE. This was disappointing in light of the otherwise clean facilities. Store was pretty well stocked but overpriced, which I have found to be typical of camp stores. We were rudely treated when the owner felt we were going too fast in the campground, but he did come to our site soon after to apologize: he is clearly quite concerned about safety and is catering to families, so understandable that he is vigilant about his speed limit (5mph). I would suggest he also implement a “no bike riding after dusk” as many campgrounds do, also for safety. The good: utilities at the sites seemed to be in good order, sites are OK in size. Bath house in our area was old but clean. Did not shower there, so cannot comment on water pressure, etc. Good base for exploring the area. The river and a brook are on site and there seem to be a lot of activities for kids. Be aware the nice playground in their web photos is actually across the street from the campground, so you will have to accompany children to same. Long story short, not our kind of place, but can see the appeal for families. We will likely try somewhere else if/when we return to the area. We are currently settled into a much better fit for us in Maine.

I want to give 4 or 5 stars but I can't make the site more popular... We arrived in a Friday in August and all sites were taken, scouting for sites I asked one camper when he was leaving and I came back in the morning of the day he left to secure the spot, otherwise I would never got it here, not even 5 minutes of me arriving at least other 4 campers stopped by... Some sites crowded with more than 10 cars in it... The sites are very far apart from each other. The road is great for a dirt road (conditions will vary depending the weather and season) Tent, car, van, or bike campers should be fine in any of the sites. Smaller class B, or class C will fit in most of the sites, anything larger than 25ft combined will have trouble finding available spots, most sites are blocked by large boulders to prevent folks from driving in. Far as I could see only 1 site will fit trailers larger than 30ft comfortably, any size will be good at this single site... 3 other sites may fit rigs over 25ft, rigs over 30ft will require some fine driving skills. I could not verify other reviews mentioning feces in the sites, m site was clean. Verizon works great at this current site and at most sites, the entire region has no or minimal coverage for t-mobile, AT&T, or Sprint

Nice and private. Sites are well spaced all along the loop road. Mostly clean. Lots of trails for hiking. The river is beautiful. Plenty of room to boondock if the sites are all full, including a big turnaround/parking area at one end of the loop and a big pulloff on Rt 3 across from the other entrance at Trudeau Road. Supplies are 15 minutes away in Bethlehem and definitely spend a day in Littleton just up the road.

12 sites available along the gale river loop road. All sites are numbered. Check the forest Facebook page to make sure the road is open depending on the time of year. Forest rangers drove past a few times but never came to chat. Sites were nicely spread out. Not all sites can be driven into. Sites 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 9 you can drive a car right into. The other sites are set back from the road and have large boulders to prevent you from pulling a vehicle into them. We camped in truck tents at site 2. There was a large mud puddle at the site entrance but the rest of the site was nice and we were able to find two level spots for the trucks.

This was a great spot! They were all generously space. We were there on October 13, 2020 and there was plenty of availability. It's probably busier earlier in the year. No electric or water but close to all kinds of great activities including hiking and biking!
