Mascoma Lake Campground

This was our first trip to this campground. So I will start off by saying the new owners are trying real hard to make this place a success. this seems to be a campground where all the sites are almost permanent. Some of these camp sites look like a land fill. the sites are teared on the side of a hill overlooking the lake. the only problem is you cannot see the lake for the campers in front of you. the campground is tight and the sites are small. a lot of work needs to be done before I will return. I wish the owners Good Luck and hope they make the needed improvements that will be needed to make this place a success.

If only I could give negative stars…
In my 12 years of camping I have NEVER experienced such a dump. In fact, you would be better off camping at the dump.
The location is the only thing they have going for them since their negligence cannot screw up what Mother Nature has provided… a pristine lake with views from the campground.
The fact that they had given away our site was a blessing in disguise since I told them is was my reason for leaving. Truth be told, I would have let them keep my deposit just to buy my way out of this hell hole.
I was offered my choice of remaining «sites» and upon close inspection I was able to see the true condition of this slum. Sites are on top of one another and there is little or no parking if you are tenting. Where to place your tent is questionable with the minefield of exposed boulders. Fortunately I did not have to experience the bathrooms but the odor of a septic system in need of repair was ever present.
The clientele looked as though they would be comfortable sleeping in the campground dumpster.
Had I read the previously posted Unilocal reviews, I could have saved my time and money. Lesson learned.
Stay away! Stay far, far away!

This campground is a waste of time. My tent was set up on a rocky patch of dirt because that was all there was to offer. The people were rude. The sites were on top of each other. The bathrooms were unkempt. To say I was disappointed with my short-​lived experience there is an understatement. After one night my group decided to find a new campground. Mascoma is horrible compared to the beautiful place we found about 20 miles away in Hanover. Go back to Mascoma Lake Campground? I would rather be in a coma!

I don’t have much to say about this campground because it has already wasted too many moments of my time on this earth.
Let’s keep it short and sweet. The staff look like little goblins, the grounds look more like 8 mile than a scenic camping experience and everybody is about as bad a person as you could imagine.
The only worse camping experience I can think of would be getting set on fire in someones backyard while being chased by starved grizzly bears.
Do yourself a favor, avoid this place like the middle east and either find an alternative (which there are many), or pull a lawn chair into the sun in your backyard.

The website looked awesome, offering «terraced views of the lake» and «every site has a view.» Hmm… if you want to be packed like sardines in an RV, you do have a terraced view of the lake (albiet with others breathing down your neck). If you are tenting, there are no views of the lake. You are stuck at the very top of a very steep hill (that you need to climb every time you need to pee). There is barely room to park. There is even less room to pitch your tent, or move. Being packed in like sardines is even worse when you can’t hide inside an RV. This is where greed gets you; packing in way too many sites on your measly hill.
