Chocorua Camping Village

I used to stay here with my family when I was a kid (20+years ago). Took my kids in 2012 for the first time (they were 3+5 yrs old). Stayed at site 46, which was one we frequented growing up. We love it here and have come back twice every summer since. We always stay at the waterfront super sites. Close to shop, and beach, and they have beautiful views. The patio and propane grill are amazing attributes to these sights.
We’re impatiently waiting for our 5^th annual trip to start at the end of june, it just can’t come fast enough! The kids are kept busy with the pool, and the activities. With them getting older, I do wish there was a bit more in regards to the rec room, as it is way outdated, but thats literally the only complaint. The staff is fantastic, and super friendly. We got a beagle puppy about 3 years ago, and she has just as much fun as us! The staff are definetely dog people. It’s blown us away how pet friendly this place is! We rent a travel trailer from chocoura mountain rv every year. They are very familiar with the staff at the campground, so it made the experience even better. They come set it up, and take it away, so all we have to pack are clothes, linens, and our fishing rods! Thanks Chocoura, see you soon!

Came for some tent camping. I hate paying for camping, however if it has to be done, this is a nice place for it. The pond is nice, though the area roped in for swimming is small. You can rent kayaks and I think they had canoes and maybe paddle boats too. We didn’t end up with time for that, but great that it’s there. The store is open a decent hours and has everything you need. We forgot to bring something to help get our fire started in the little ceramic pits they have at each site, but the store had stuff to help us out.
Bathrooms were very clean, showers were alright. I’d come again in the area, though personally I’d like to camp somewhere on a river next time and a little further away from the road. We could hear the bigger trucks not so far off.

Chocorua KOA is a gem of a campground. The sites are very well marked and there are plenty of trees so it does not feel like a parking lot. For people with large RVs or trailers, there are plenty of very large sites, including pull-​throughs. The «super sites» are beautiful as well and include a private deck with furniture and a Weber gas grill, all overlooking the lake. The staff is incredibly friendly, from the owners to the temporary workers. The owners make improvements every year (this year was the addition of a deck by the group entertainment area). The camp store prices are very reasonable and the activities are extremely pleasant. This is a great place for families and you can also bring a dog if it is friendly and it has the appropriate vaccinations (paper documentation from the vet is required). I find this a very pleasant place to relax when I want to camp in a clean and social environment with my family. (My kids think this is the best campground, but that might be due to the activities and weekend pancake breakfasts.)

This was a pretty good KOA and I would stay again. The staff was friendly and the site was beautiful. There were activities going on and it was safe. The bathrooms were just OK for a KOA, but the water was hot and it worked.

The campground itself is nice and clean. My sister and her family have stayed there many times. THE CABINS are another story… the conditions were very bad. The first cabin was INFESTED with daddy long legs – they were all over the walls, ceiling, floor and even furniture. I spent the first evening tissue in hand, killing as many as I could stand to kill and the next day there were just as many. When I complained they moved me to another cabin with a very bad odor, and I found mouse droppings on the counter top and sink the next morning. And the fridge broke, spoiling my food. I grew up camping and am used to «roughing it» but this was disgusting. No apology from the owners and no reimbursement for the unpleasant stay. But one worker did agree conditions were bad and apologized.

Just spent 4 days there. Overall nice place. I would spring the extra $ for a waterfront or «super» site, otherwise they are *close* together.
Details:
The cons (kind of nitpicky): 1) Wifi is there but is really squirrelly and at times not functional. The code they give is only for one device. To their credit they do sort of disclaim it and say it’s contingent on how many people are using it at once. 2) The cable TV is weird… They provide a channel guide in their newspaper but for us it had no bearing on reality.
3) Our sewer hook up was bizarre, the pipe stuck out of the ground so far that it was actually above the level of our dump valve, therefore I had to dump the tanks partway, then dump the full (heavy) hose down the pipe… not ideal, maybe I was missing something. 4) They don’t allow scooters or skateboards… Not sure why.
The pros:
Lots of things to do. The lake beach is clean and sandy and well marked. The pool is well kept and clean. Easy access to recycle. Very reasonable prices for canoe, kayak and paddle boat rentals. Very friendly staff.
The camp store has VERY reasonable prices! And is well stocked with everything from food to RV sewer hoses. Ice was $ 1.75 for 5lb and a good sized bundle of firewood was $ 4. They will deliver pizza to your site for $ 10. Also, decent showers and bathrooms, along with nice big tumble dryers for when your clothesline stuff gets Thunderstormed on.
The super sites are really cool… They include a deck, patio furniture, and a gas grill, and overlook the water… ours even overlooked the beach so the kids could swim by themselves while I watched. Also had a pea stone surface so the dirt tracking was minimal.
An especially nice touch was the camp store staff… Older man and lady who would actually suggest to the kids that they were buying too much candy for so close to bed time… gotta love that.
So, definitely go, just be prepared for some of the little issues mentioned. BTW, the cell phone signal there is nice and strong… worked better on an iPhone than the WiFi.
