Danforth Bay Off Season Review

Feel like doing some late season camping? Why not! Gas prices are low. No crowds, no problems getting in and some campgrounds are open year round. Danforth Bay Camping Resort in Freedom, NH is one example and definately one of our favorites. We have been camping here for over 5 years now. Off Season / Late Fall is our favorite time to camp. We love the quietness and serenity.

Worried about not having water? Danforth Bay has full hookup sites (winter water / winter sewer) located in the Chocura section of the park). If your camper is winterized (like ours) Danforth Bay has....
  • Warm, heated, clean, modern restrooms
  • Metered long hot showers
  • Kitchen area for washing dishes, cooking meals, etc.
  • 24 Hour Laundry room

Things to do:

  • Christmas shopping at Settler's Green (20-30 minutes away)
  • Skiing at nearby King Pine (opens 12 December), Cranmore, and other great mountains
  • Walking around the campground
  • Relaxing, Playing games, watching a movie in Danforth Bay's family room.

Where to eat? Some of our favorites are:

  • Pizza Barn, Ossipee, NH (15 minutes) is open on weekends (check below for my review)
  • Yankee Smokehouse, W. Ossipee, NH (10 minutes)
  • Whittier House, W. Ossipee, NH (10 minutes)
  • Cafe Noche, Conway, NH (25 minutes)
  • 99, N. Conway, NH (30 minutes)
  • Many, many more!

Other mentionables:

  • Friendly staff and seasonal people
  • Modern Family room with Big Screen TV
  • Fall colors, leaves
  • Did I mention: Very, very quiet

Does Danforth bay have any nice and secluded Tent camping sites? I've read a lot about it on thatscamping.com but was curious about how good the tent camping was there.

They do have tent sites down near the lake (which only has water and electric) and they are very nice and spacious. I believe there are a couple that are more private than others. Some of the sites in the "M" area are more private as well. Also some of "K" sites are more 'secluded'. I use this term loosely because everyone has their own definition of what secluded means. Definately not National Park secluded where you can't see anyone around you.
