The campsites are very large and very private. Never had so much room to myself! Bathrooms are open during COVID but know that showers are CLOSED! There are 2 beaches, a day use beach and a campers beach. The campers beach is not well maintained. The sand is full of silt and feels mucky. In the water, the sand only extends 15 feet out roughly before its just lake weed. Lots of algae. Dont expect a pristine new Hampshire lake here!

Clean, organized, camp ground with a family-friendly atmosphere, yet secluded woodland feel. Great paths for riding bicycles or walking; the camp ground is VERY dog friendly. Sites are well cleared, flat, with fire pit, however there are plenty of trees to make you feel slightly secluded from your neighbor. Bath houses and water pumps nearby to each campsite.

Enjoyed our camping experience. Well kept campsites and facilities. Great time enjoying the beauty of the pond and lake. This was our first visit and will certainly return.

Our favorite New England campground for tent camping, great times at the pond, and lots of family time. Many folks bring RVs as well but there are no hookups so bring your generator if you want electricity.

Incredibly affordable and they were able to accommodate a large group of my friends and I in the same area. Access to a beautiful lake that you have to see in the day and evening and overall just a simple but amazing place to visit with friends or family. Thanks for your patience with us lol, know people can sometimes get more worked up, but getting together with friends these days is rarer and rarer, so to find somewhere safe to do so is always appreciated. We will be coming back.

Very good campground. The staff was friendly and helpful. The bathrooms were clean and organized. The lake is abosultely beautiful and its very big so its easy to practice social distancing. There are places to hike thats close to the campground.

I was camping over at Seven Maples camp ground where there was only the public pool which was always packed to swim in. So we drove around using Google maps for about an hour and a half looking for a swimming hole that wasnt private or resident only. We eneded up finding otter lake at Greenfield State Park, but they werent accepting day use at the time. One of the ladies behind the counter heard me asking where I can go and she steered me in the right direction with her first suggestion. Excellent customer service! I give for this pleasant experience. I cannot wait for next years camping season when I can hopefully spend a week camping there to give a more in depth review.

This is a great place to visit. Campsites are fairly large which gives an airy feeling throughout the camp ground. Trees galore and a lake right there. It seemed that all visitors were quiet and respectful of others. No doubt, Ill be coming back

Super cool experience! The camp sites are well maintained with ample space for two car parking and two tents. Many restrooms with flush toilet and water taps. Wherever is your tent site you will find one restroom and water tap within walking distance. Have hot shower near the welcome center which is well maintained and open 24 hours. Tent sites have fire rings and 6$ firewoods available at the welcoming me center.Small trails are quite enjoyable on the way to Otter lake. Kayaking in Otter lake is an added fun. I enjoyed a lazy beach day on the Otter lake shore.We were not carrying tubes but would recommend carrying tubes for the kids! Wholesome family adventure and fun filled camping. I will highly recommend this site for adventure loving family.

We checked in mid-week and were looking to grab a bundle of firewood on our way to the site but, unfortunately, the card reader wasnt working, so we figured we were out of luck. Then Lorraine stepped in. She went out of her way to contact the NH State Park IT Department and call us back to let us know the problem had been fixed and our firewood bundle was good to go! We got to enjoy a beautiful evening by the fire at an exceptional location, and --even short-staffed during pandemic-- couldnt have been treated better. Thanks, Lorraine!

This site doesnt have call waiting which is kinda crazy when its the year 2020, not sure how you run a business that way. Was given the run around to book no help from manager tells me call another line. Sure Ill call another line and kindly take my business elsewhere.

Visually pretty much the way I remember it growing up in the 80s. Clean park, Noisy at night which is new. Very low ranger presence. I think they could do a better job enforcing park rules. Huge parties going on all day until midnight and a lot of not low key alcohol at the lake. Cigarette butts on the beach. I dont have a problem with people drinking at the lake but this was like a frat party. People fishing in the swimming area. Bathrooms were clean. Beach was kept clean. Campsite still had previous campers lines tied up and cigarette butts and bottle caps all around. (Which we cleaned up.) Folks at the ranger station were very nice. Overall nice but there are nicer NH State Parks.

Greenfield State Park is one of the nicerparks Ive been to, and is a good spot for stargazing during clear nights. The pet-friendly campground located in the park is well-maintained, and has an on-site ranger that helps campers to learn about the environment around them. The singular shower and restrooms are clean and warm, and the fire pits are the site of many a smore cooking session. There is a lake, but it is not walking distance from most of the campsites. Although the park has its faults, it is a good park for family outings and memorable experiences.

Bathrooms were well maintained and we ended up finding a beehive near our campsite. We went to the main office to let them know and immediately headed back to our site to find an employee already handling it. The immediate response time was highly appreciated. Great job guys!!!

Very disappointed. The lake was unswimmable as it smelled like animal feces and there was a sign that stated very clearly that they dont test feces levels. I didnt even want to put my kayak in. We stayed on a loop that did not have any restroom facilities as well. We either had to walk a quarter mile or drive to the nearest bathroom.

Although the campsites are all occupied, the majority of people are parents who have brought their kids. Even though there are many children they all seem to be well behaved and respect other peoples privacy. This isnt a big park, but its a good place to relax and enjoy being away from the city.

I live close to this place, great people work there, very helpful, in October it is open only on weekends for though who love our fall colors, I love the clean bathrooms and showers. You can go swimming at the lake, nice place to have picnic, they have a small store there. Because I live in the area go to the fired station to get your wood surport our volunteer fire department please, also you get more wood for the same amount of money as you would at there store. Lots of thing to do in our area both inside and out side. Come have fun at our state park

Nice, large, partially shaded campsites. Very friendly staff. On the hottest day of the summer, mid beach was nearly deserted and clean. Camp and beach stores were well stocked.Very quiet and peaceful overnight.I see a lot of common complaints about the camp bathrooms here, but I found them to be fine, generally clean, and nothing out of the ordinary for a New England state park campground. I guess I want to know where those people typically camp!

Review №47

Greenfield State Park was an overall pleasant experience. The parks were clean, as were the bathrooms and showers which was a pleasant surprise. Obviously, it is camping, so clean has to be taken with a grain of salt, but it was still much better than I expected. One of the beaches isnt the greatest, its mucky and has a lot growing in the swimming area, but theres a second beach that is very pleasant with lots of shade-covered picnic tables and a playground next to it.

Group sites are great. Plenty of space (our groups were 15 - 20 people). We were there midweek and had the group sites to ourselves. 2 metal fire pits in the site we used, both with grates for grilling. Bring bear canisters.

Review №49

This is a very nice park with reasonable camping rates. There are several bathrooms sprinkled throughout the camping areas. I only marked it down one star because they only have a shower house at the entrance and beach. Thats not a lot of showers for a large park. But dont let that stop you from visiting!

We had another great camping experience here! However it would have been nice to know the lake was closed due to high bacteria when we registered. There are plenty of other near by lakes so we just went to one of them.

This is our first long weekend Boondocking (RV camping without services). I was concerned about the widrh and depth of sites. We have 40 5th wheel with 5 slides. We stayed on site 37. Huge deep site. Plenty of room between neighbors. We did bring a Predator 3500 watt generator (were not savages!) Nice, and you cant beat the price compared to traditional campgrounds and campground resorts (40 - 90 a night) . It cost $71.00 for 3 nights 4 days here. Well be back, for sure.

Review №54

This park is not up to standards at all. So many of the bathrooms are not fully functional, most toilets listed as out of service. There are no amenities or anything to make the environment a community. No electric provided at the campsites unless you get group camping. The swim area/beach is not maintained at all, its just a swampy area with trash everywhere. Had to get a refund on my short stay.

This is a fantastic place to camp. We have camped here on opening day, closing day, and many weekends in between. Fun family spot in the summer. Bring your bikes to explore the park.There is also a paid public beach with a playground and a campers beach for swimming on the lake. Bathrooms/changing areas are next to both beaches.The park office sells just about every camping item you forgot to bring as well as firewood for your campfire. Its a short drive to the center of Greenfield where there is a small grocery store for anything the park doesnt carry.

These people let in a rambunctious motorcycle gang and they were shooting a potato gun filled with pasta and cussing all night. Makes me wonder who else they let into the park. Glad to hear they got blacklisted and muscled out by local police.

Review №66

Love the park. Beautiful big private sites. Unfortunately on our last visit most of the sites were closed due to bathrooms being shut down. The dump station was completely clogged and overflowing. The bathrooms and showers are in desperate need of cleaning. Understaffed is a part of the problem. State funding is prob another. We love our state parks and camp at them every year. They desperately need improvements though. Id still recommend for the quietness and big private sights and friendly staff.

This is a great place to go camping! There are two great beaches, one of which is limited to just campers rather while the other is open to any park visitors. The campsites all include picnic table and a fire pit with a metal grill that can be raised or lowered as needed so that you can use the fire pit for cooking or just enjoying a campfire. Some campsites have pretty good foliage cover to give campers some privacy, while others are a bit more exposed. There are several bathrooms spaced throughout the campsites, so you dont need to walk too far to go to the bathroom, although you might need to bring your own soap as the soap dispensers are sometimes empty. There is also a shower facility near the front of the campground. It is pretty cold, but free and surprisingly clean all things considered. Across from the showers, there is a dumpster where any campground trash (including food waste) can be safely dumped. (Dont leave food or food waste around your campsite if you dont want it invaded by raccoons or bears as soon as you walk away.) There are also some nice hiking trails, although we unfortunately didnt have a chance to really explore them due to inclement weather.All in all, Greenfield is great if you want to have a good camping experience in a beautiful area with excellent beaches!

We go here every summer before school starts. Love that there are flush toilets and showers. Most campsites are mostly private. There is a lot to do from swimming and kayaking in the lake, a big playground and lots of trail to hike. The staff also have daily activity time for The kids. The on-site store doesnt have much but there is a store just a couple minutes down the road.

Great campground. Easy to get to, kayaks/canoe for rent at the gift shop. Small Beach area by the lake to swim/tan. Campgrounds clean and large, but most importantly... Private! Plenty of space/trees between you and your neighbor. 1 star down because quiet time could have been later (10pm).

Well, my friends, wife, our dog and I really were looking forward to camping here but due to last-minute things we needed to change our reservation and we sadly needed to do it the same day we were expected. We wanted to change to another weekend and add an extra day but they didnt allow it.Be aware of it. I hope my comment helps them improve their business model, it represents a 281% revenue lost between cancellation and allowing us to do the change for an extra day and moving fees.

They double booked my site. Then they gave two more sites to try which also double booked. Their reservation system is worthless. After an.hour plus, I finally got an open site.With only two staff people, no rangers ever did their standard camp area drive by,. So we had 2-3 groups up to 1am screaming, partying, drinking and playing their music very loud. No ranger ever came to quiet them down. Not much for a natural outdoors experience!!

Most camping sites here offer little to no privacy with wide open paths between neighboring campers.Bathrooms and especially showers are pretty grossNot cleaned or poor frequency of attention.Bathroom and shower facilities in general are pretty Dated . I guess the Adirondacks in Upstate New York spoiled me, LOL Lake Luzerne state campgrounds for example and a lot of New York state campgrounds have very clean facilities with modern ceramic tile bathrooms and showers with stainless steel fixtures and white plastic walls that can be disinfected or even hosed down. Greenfield state campground still has a lot of the old wooden walls /doors with bare concrete floors that are just filled with dirt and critters crawling around.Otherwise everything else including staff was helpful and friendly. Also the lake /beach not very pretty either. Actually pretty gross.

Review №97

Went this past weekend.Pros: the sites were great sizes and you had privacy from your neighbors.Cons: more than half the campground was closed. I dont know if they have a staff shortage or a camper shortage but the largest camping area was closed. We walked through it and the sites were grassy so its been closed for at least this season, if not more. The bathrooms were dirty and all of them had at least one stall broken the entire weekend. The beach is pretty sad with weeds starting to choke it out. There are flushable toilets down there but theyre locked up and they gave a couple portapotties.This could be a great campground but it seems to suffer from a staff shortage which brings it down.

This is a typical NH state park, that is, large, rustic campsites and staffed by a good crew. Its not like a KOA or something like an amusement park, but a back to nature place with lots of families and natural beauty. I stayed here in my travel trailer, but most campers this weekend were in tents. I have no complaints, although its supposed to rain all weekend. If youre going to come here, be prepared for whatever weather you may have. (There is no indoor to go to other than what you bring with you!)Lots of hiking trails here, suitable for solo or a group. Plenty of water spigots, bathrooms, showers, well placed.
