Our stay was good. Kids were very disappointed the big slide wasn't working for the whole week as that was a big part of selecting this location. A couple times the public bathrooms were out of toilet paper, staff should be monitoring a bit more closely. Overall good stay, may try the location again.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thanks for the review! We're glad your stay was good overall. We're sorry for the bathroom issues. We are available 24/7, as stated on the bathroom signage, to assist. If you let us know during your stay, we can usually fix things right away. Hope to see you again for more campfire memories!

Nice big sites, and a nice water park; but, customer service is lacking. Unlikely that we would return to this KOA.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thanks for the review. We're glad you enjoyed the spacious sites and water park. Sorry to hear customer service didn’t meet expectations. If concerns are shared during your stay, we can often help right away. Wishing you smoother camping ahead!

We had an amazing time at the Strafford/Lake Winnipesaukee KOA! The sites were large & shaded beautifully where we were in camp. The bathrooms were clean. Our kids loved the pool and splash pad. The staff was all friendly & helpful. Fishing was perfect as that is all our son wanted to do. He caught an abundance of fish! We will definitely return and next time stay longer! Beautiful campground!

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thanks for the kind words! We're thrilled your family had such a great time. Sounds like your son reeled in some unforgettable memories. We can't wait to welcome you back for an even longer stay. Until then, keep your campfire stories burning bright!

Liked this campground, pretty well kept, some sites could be better leveled / graded. That is my biggest fault I find is campgrounds that don’t make the site easier too level the RV. Easy to fix, not ROCKET SCIENCE.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thanks for the feedback. We're glad you liked the campground and appreciate your note on site leveling. Let us know during your stay so we can help in real time. Until next time, keep your wheels steady and your firewood dry!

Had a good time. I would suggest you change the name from Lake Winnepesaukee to just strafford. You are nowhere close to the Lake and it is misleading.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thanks for the feedback! While we’re keeping the name, we’re proud to be a short, scenic drive from Lake Winnipesaukee and centrally located for adventure. Hope to see you again soon. Until then, stay cozy under the stars!

My kids, friends and I had a wonderful stay. All of the employees were friendly. The only downfall was the water smelled like poop for the first night of our stay and it wasn’t until the next day in the late afternoon that the maintenance guys came and flushed our system. The guys were great and helpful!

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thanks for sharing your experience! We're glad you had a great stay and appreciate your patience while our team resolved the water issue. We’ll keep working to make every visit even better. Hope your next trip flows smoothly. Catch you around the campfire!

The place was clean. The cabin was comfortable and as described. Staff was friendly and helpful.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thanks for the kind words. We're glad the cabin was comfortable and the staff made your stay enjoyable. Clean spaces and helpful folks make all the difference. Hope your next visit is just as cozy. Until then, keep your campfire stories warm and your marshmallows golden!

Overall, the stay was great—especially thanks to the engaging and supportive staff running the kids' activities. However, there were a few disappointments: the slide was out of order, firewood ordered at 10 a.m. didn’t arrive until after 4 p.m., and the $30 per-night “lock-in fee” felt steep compared to typical flat rates elsewhere. Although I didn’t pay the fee and understand site place

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thanks for the thoughtful review! We're glad the kids' activities hit the mark and appreciate your patience with the hiccups. We'll keep working to improve every detail. Hope your next visit is smooth sailing. Until then, keep the camp vibes alive!

Stay was good, however water quality in the cabin was poor, hot water were with rotten smell.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thanks for the feedback! We’re glad your stay was good overall. We're sorry to hear about the water issue in your cabin. That’s definitely not the experience we want for our guests. Please let us know during your stay so we can fix it right away. Thank you!

We come here for the waterside it was broken with no clue when it will be repaired. Day 2 the pool had issues and wasn't up and running until around 1:30 in the afternoon on a 90+ degree day. Most of the arcade games are out of order. The activities director was fine. Nice playground and campsite. I think maybe koa needs to start replacing old equipment. Other than that my we had fun

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thanks for sharing your experience. We were glad to help when you let us know things weren’t quite right. Sometimes things go sideways, but we were happy you left with a smile. Glad you still found fun in the mix. Catch you next time under the pines!
Aug 02, 2025
Ha. Im weird anyway but for four days i never once had to go into the office or anything. One phone call to ask for 2 extra days if same spot open. It was shaded by huge pine trees and bushes. Just needed a break fromj all people u guess. Took my trash out, couple of local market stores i hit and chilled with some cold brewskies. No one bothered me.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Sounds like the perfect solo recharge. We're glad you found a peaceful, shaded spot and could kick back without interruptions. If you ever need another quiet escape, we’ll be here. May your next brew be cold and your campsite calm!
Aug 02, 2025
Very quiet which was very nice lots to do, but gravel sites very much in need of some work when it rained the site became very muddy

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thanks for the review. We're glad you enjoyed the quiet and activities. Sorry to hear the gravel site didn’t hold up in the rain. We’re working on improving drainage and grading to make leveling easier. Until next time, may your site stay dry and your campfire crackle!
Aug 02, 2025
Disappointed. Pool was not clean, water was cloudy. We stayed for 1 week and the water slide was not in operation the entire time. Half the games in the game room were out of order.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thanks for the feedback. We're sorry the pool and game room didn’t meet expectations and that the slide was down during your stay. We hope to see you in the future!

Great campground! Beautiful wooded sites. We enjoyed this campground so much that we have stayed here twice!

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thanks for the kind words! We're so glad you enjoyed the wooded sites and chose to return. Repeat campers like you make it all worthwhile. Here's to more peaceful mornings and crackling campfires ahead!

The site was supposed to be gravel - it was dirt -I paid for a patio site because I wanted a clean space to reorganize. I couldn't do that here. My space smelled so bad I had to use the main sewer dump. The 'dog park' (smallest I have ever seen) was so gross and full of poop my dog didn't want to be there. Don't go

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thanks for sharing your experience. We're sorry the site and amenities didn’t meet expectations. If issues are reported during your stay, we can often help right away. We’re committed to improving and hope you find the perfect spot for your next adventure. Keep the campfire spirit alive!

Awful service. I could never find a staff memeber and if I could they were smoking cigarettes

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Our office is the best place to find a team member so you don't have to go looking. We also have a 24/7 phone number posted throughout the camp and on paperwork. Staff breaks happen in a designated area not accessible to guests. When you find a team member here, they are not available to assist.

Local staff very nice, but one of the middle aged ,out of state male“ work campers” was extremely rude and an actual bully. Two occurrences witnessed back to back, that tells you something right there. Campground itself had good and bad areas…. Dust and mud, dead hazardous branches, you sign your life away with wavers. Rediculous resort amenities fee, JOKE for nothing different from other KO

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Hi Maria! We understand you find it rude to require rabies vaccinations for any dogs that enter our campground. As explained, it is for the safety of every person and animal on our beautiful park. We wish you well camping elsewhere. Thanks!
Jul 28, 2025
Site were very clean but the couple of times I used the men’s rooms they weren’t very clean and things were broken/out of order. Also the big slide at the pool sounds like it’s been broken for a while. The dog park could use a little sprucing and the wood, which we had dropped off at our site had very large black ants in them, which I then found two in my camper.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thanks for the feedback. We're glad the site cleanliness stood out and appreciate your notes on areas needing attention. If you let us know during your stay, we can help right away. Thank you for visiting and we hope to camp with you again soon!

Les toilettes ne sont pas vraiment propre, l’eau de la piscine était très floue aussi… pour 150$ canadien par nuit je m’attendais à plus de propreté. La grosse glissade était aussi hors service. Point positif: le parc est super beau !

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Merci pour votre commentaire. Nous sommes désolés que la propreté et les installations n’aient pas été à la hauteur. Si vous nous aviez informés pendant votre séjour, nous aurions pu intervenir rapidement. On ne peut améliorer l’expérience qu’en temps réel. À bientôt sous les pins

Stayed in a cabin. Clean and reasonably priced. Only complaint is the price of wood for a campfire. While I respect the rule of not bringing in wood from the outside, I believe that $8 for five or six pieces of wood that burns within 15 minutes is a bit crazy. Most families like the experience of having a campfire and having fun playing games, chatting, and making s’mores. Lower wood price!

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thanks for the review and for staying in one of our cabins. We're glad you enjoyed the stay and found it reasonably priced. As for the firewood, we charge the same as local stores, with the added convenience of on-site availability and free delivery. Still, we’ll keep an eye on it!
Jul 27, 2025
Staff was very helpful and they keep the campground clean. Just got home from 2 weeks there and would definitely return.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thanks for the kind words! We're thrilled you had a great stay and found our team and campground top notch. Can't wait to welcome you back! Let’s keep the good times rolling like a camper on the open road!

Had to cut our stay short, but up until we left we found that the campground was well balanced and staff attentive and responsive, espcially liked the frequent trash cans thru out and that staff were working on things mentioned in previous reviews

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thanks for the thoughtful review! We're sorry your stay was cut short but glad you noticed the balance and care we aim for. Hope to see you back for the full experience next time!
Jul 26, 2025
The staff was great, but the place is run down. We stayed there because they had a water slide and splash area along with the pool. The splash area was really just good enough for littles and the slide was out of commission and looks unlikely to return. My grandchildren have a pool at home so only having a pool was a big whoop. We won't be back unless they fix the slide and worn-out stuff.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thanks for the feedback. We're glad you found the staff great! The splash area is designed for younger kids, but many different ages find fun there. Our pool is a big hit with most guests and we're sorry you having a pool at home made ours less appealing. We wish you well in future camping!
Jul 25, 2025
Not being able to use your own firewood was my biggest concern.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thanks for sharing your concern. We totally get the convenience of bringing your own firewood, but using only approved firewood helps protect our trees and natural spaces from invasive pests and diseases. It's a small step that makes a big difference. Stay grounded and keep it campy!
Jul 25, 2025
Absolutely loved it. We will be back. Perfect.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

We’re so glad to hear that! Can’t wait to welcome you back for more perfect camping memories. Until then, keep your gear dry and your campfire stories lively!

The management and owner of this location are very rude and they don’t care about the people that are staying there. All they want is money.. I was misinformed about their rules about my dog and they did not want to compromise AT ALL.. I asked for a small refund and I got the run around.. never again will I stay at any koa campground and I will never recommend strafford. Don’t spend the money.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thanks for your feedback. We understand your frustration, but we stand by our safety policies, especially when it comes to pets. While we aim to be clear and fair, we don’t compromise on rules that keep everyone safe. Wishing you smoother travels on your next camp-out.

Summer storm created river through the primarily dirt site. 4 pages of rules to sign that should be online BEFORE booking, but looks like a fun place for kids with lots to do. Very scenic.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thanks for the review! Just a heads-up: our rules are available before booking, in your confirmation, welcome email, and on our website. We're glad the scenery and activities still made it a fun spot. Here's to smoother setups and starry nights ahead!
Jul 23, 2025
We loved it here!!! The staff is friendly and helpful. We will definitely return.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thanks so much for the kind words. We’re thrilled you had a great stay. We’ll be here with fresh coffee and firewood when you return. Until then, happy camping!

What a great place to stay. Our trash was picked up promptly. We had an issue with a tree branch and the staff was right there to take care of it The best part was with T and the person that did the notary. They went above and beyond their duties to accommodate us We will not hesitate to tell all our friends that they really take care of the campers that come through our hats go off to you

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thanks for the kind words. We’re glad our team could lend a hand and make your stay smooth. Shoutout to T and our notary champ for going above and beyond. We’ll keep doing our best to make every camper feel like a VIP. Catch you on the camp-side!

Cabin we rented was very clean and modern. Staff was very friendly and helpful. We had an issue with sulfur smelling water and staff chlorinated the system in the cabin and fixed it immediately. They get 4 out of 5 stars because water slide was down, splash pad is very slippery and pond is very weedy which could be a gem with some aquatic weed treatments. Still would 100% go back!

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thanks for the detailed review. We're glad our team could quickly resolve the water issue and that you enjoyed the cabin. While our pond is kept natural without additives, we appreciate your thoughts. We’ll keep working to make each stay a splash. Catch you on the camp-side!

Huge waterslide, waterpad and sprinkler toys for the youngings beautiful campsites and they do alot of activities throughout the day unlike lebanon koa I literally have daily events weekdays and weekends it's a very small campground but if you're looking for quiet and peaceful and not a lot of kids this is the KOA to go to.
