What stood out? Overall we had a very good experience at Moose Brook. The campground was very quiet except for some heavy machinery noise that began as early as 6am every day except for Sunday. I believe it may have to do with the sand/gravel quarry down the street, but I am not certain of that. The drive to area attractions is less than an hour. We didn't make use of any of the walking trails or ponds on site. The camp store has very basic supplies, but they do carry firewood and ice. One evening, they were out of ice and they weren't sure when the next delivery would be. It is a short drive into town where there are a few places to pick up things.
Owners and Staff: The staff was very pleasant.
Camp landscaping and surroundings: Most sites on the campground appear to be within the trees and heavily shaded. There were a number of sites that were more on a grassy field and more out in the open. A brook runs behind the campground and behind some of the sites.
Good sites: There appeared to be very few bad sites. I can say with certainty that 14 is a great site. Private (at a dead end) and very spacious. 9, 11-13, 15 were also very private and appeared to be spacious as well. Bad sites: Although not necessarily bad sites, 38-40A are close together and out in the open.
Campsite hookups: primitive tent. Campsite Descriptions: sunny and open, wooded, private, semi-private, large and spacious, somewhat small, picnic table, fire ring, group camping area.
Cell Phone Service: Verizon cell phones worked perfectly
Clean restrooms and showers? yes. Restrooms and showers need updating? no. Coin-metered showers. Are restrooms accessible from all sites? yes. Additional comments on restrooms and showers: For camping, the restroom and shower facilities were perfect. They could have had one more shower house to accomodate all of the guests during their busier times. The showers were 25 cents for 2.5 minutes.
pond, swimming, fishing, camp store, pets allowed
What is nearby? restaurants, amusements, nature trails. There are many things to do in the White Mountains. Plenty to do and see!
