Roughing It and Rustic Charm in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire

MEREDITH, N.H. - July 10, 2013 - PRLog -- Roughing It and Rustic Charm in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire

Tilton, NH – Whether you’d like to experience life completely without modern amenities or you’d just like to spend your vacation as close to nature as possible, New Hampshire’s Lakes Region has the perfect camping spot for you. There are over 25 campgrounds spread all throughout the Lakes Region. Some of these camps are teeming with family activities, playgrounds, pools, games, recreation halls and more…and then there are the quiet campgrounds with just a wooded or grassy site and an RV hook-up next to a lake. If the nature sounds fun but the camping part doesn’t, there are even lodging properties within the Lakes Region that can give you that one-with-nature feeling while you’ve still got a stationary roof over your head.

The Lakes Region has some great options for simple and traditional camping trips that will save you money and reacquaint you with nature. Each campground has its own unique amenities, features and picturesque settings, and one is bound to be the perfect one to provide you with a rejuvenating vacation. Park your RV or pitch your tent right on the water at Terrace Pines in Central Ossipee, Danforth Bay Camping & RV Resort in Freedom, or Lake Ivanhoe Resort & Inn in East Wakefield or deep in the woods at Harbor Hill Camping Ground in Meredith or Owls Landing Campground in Holderness, NH. Gunstock Mountain Resort in Gilford offers a variety of lodging options, including camping and RV sites and even basic cabins. These are all immersed in Gunstock’s many outdoor activities, including their Aerial Adventure zipline course, scenic lift rides and Segway tours.

Are you looking forward to a feeling of community and a wide selection of activities as part of your camping vacation? Perhaps Twin Tamarack Family Camping & RV Resort in New Hampton, Chocorua Camping Village in Chocorua, Branch Brook Campground in Campton, Clearwater Campground in Meredith, or Yogi’s Jellystone Park in Ashland, NH would give you the vacation you need. Along with their campsites for both RVs and tents, they offer on-site recreation: canoe and kayak rentals and scheduled activities like fishing tournaments, bonfires, volleyball games, themed dances, and more. For senior citizens, Lake Forest Resort in Wolfeboro and The Bluffs in Freedom offer a camping experience specially designed for individuals aged 50 and above, with quiet scenery as well as amenities like tennis courts, saltwater swimming pools, golf courses, and community events.

There are degrees of “roughing it,” however, and many people would rather enjoy a few creature comforts during their vacations. If you’d like to be immersed in nature without all of the inconveniences of camping, you may feel more comfortable at AMC Cardigan Lodge in Alexandria, Anchorage at the Lake Cabins in Tilton or RDC Resort in Holderness. These venues offer much of the “close to nature feeling” and easy access to some favorite outdoor activities like hiking, biking, kayaking, boating, fishing, swimming and more, but supply a roof and a bed as well. Alongside their outdoor activities, rustic cottages, cabins and rooms are simple enough to provide guests with a traveling-back-in-time feeling. The AMC Cardigan Lodge and RDC Resort provide on-site dining for guests who aren’t ready to cook on their own. While you may not be sleeping under the stars here, you will still be taking full advantage of the beauty of nature during your vacation at one of these rustic venues.
