8 nights at Hole 15 Camping

We stayed for week during Easter with our furry child. The site was very clean and the hosts were both amazing, communication was fast and clear and they even left us the cutest Easter basket. I would definitely stay again if I’m in the area.

2 nights at Souhegan Shores

I loved our site at site 2. It had everything we would need and the river is right there, nice hearing it from our tent. The trails are easy to navigate. Bob is an excellent host and his attention details are awesome.

Weekend Trip to Souhegan Shores

The spot is magical. A secluded area with river access, little bridges, an outhouse, table, fire pit, and dogs roaming around. Bob and Tini are very kind and make sure you have a great stay. I wish I could keep this place hidden all to myself but it genuinely deserves a 10/10.

Weekend Trip to Souhegan Shores

Fantastic spot! Right next to the river, very spacious. Bob has made it a homy spot with a platform with a picnic table, and a nice firepit. He also provided firewood which was a great touch. Thanks for a great stay hoping to come back!

7 nights at Hole 15 Camping

Owen was very quick to communicate with any questions that we had and very knowledgeable with alternatives about any services he was unable to provide. He has made a pleasant spot for HipCampers with both water and electric amenities available at an extra charge. Adding these amenities after we arrived was seemless.

1 night at Souhegan Shores

This site is beautiful and private, right on a bend in the river with a swimming hole. There was plenty of firewood, the host was very communicative and helpful, the site was well marked, well maintained and well supplied.

Weekend Trip to Souhegan Shores

Nice host, very good privacy. Tones of space for activities and close to river. Will try site 1 next time.

4 nights at Hole 15 Camping

We want to share with other Hipcampers about what a great experience we had staying here. We ended up staying through most of the winter. It is a beautiful, safe, peaceful place. Our host Owen was quick to reply and respond quickly if we had a questions or needs but otherwise we felt like we had our own space. Many improvements were made in terms of extras and cosmetic and it was obvious to us that Owen took being a camp host very seriously. It is difficult for RVers in New England during the cold months. We are grateful to have found it and feel lucky for the experience. We highly recommend staying here. Thank you again to Owen for creating such a wonderful spot.

1 night at Souhegan Shores

Site 2 was nice for 1 tent. If we get more next time maybe we will check out site1. The host was nice and helpful.

Weekend Trip to Turtle Path Camping Site

Everything was great. Nice and level, pretty good location

Weekend Trip to Souhegan Shores

Bobs camps are really great. Camps 2 is big open but very secluded, you will not here or see anyone. Bob made sure you are 100% setup for the camp with a porta loo and wood bin. i will be coming back time and time again. I did get woken up one night to fiercly battling racoons haha. also there was a big group of turkeys that visted and Wilson (Bobs pup) will visit.

Weekend Trip to Souhegan Shores

We loved our stay at site 2! It was very private and peaceful overlooking the water. Good level spot for our large tent and a nice platform for dining. The signs are very clear to get back to the site. We even arrived after dark because of traffic and had no issues navigating. Bob and Wilson were great hosts! We hope to stay again some time.

Weekend Trip to Cozy Wooded Nook

Nice, Quiet spot for a camp. Geat hosts that make you feel welcome.

1 night at Souhegan Shores

Bob was very hospitable even though we weren’t able to make it to the property! I’d love the chance to stay here in the future.

Weekend Trip to Souhegan Shores

Bob was great! Very helpful! Would definitely recommend to families with young ones. Beautiful site and secluded from other one.

Weekend Trip to Souhegan Shores

Winter/Early Spring Camp: Bob was a very accommodating and friendly host. Plenty of wood was provided to help us feed the camp stove and stay warm in our tent. The views were great and we felt very secluded. It was a great stay for me, my wife, and two dogs.

Weekend Trip to Cozy Wooded Nook

Everything was perfect. Kathleen was very nice, she helped us in the night and gave us fresh water for our RV. We had a thanksgiving breakfast in our RV surrounded by beautiful trees and nature. 5 stars camp ⭐️

1 night at Souhegan Shores

Great site for winter camping. Host was awesome and communicated fast. Love having wood on site. A+

Souhegan Shores

2 sites · RVs, Tents21 acres · Merrimack, NH

Camp next to the river bank of the Souhegan River in the shade of oak, hickory, blue birch, hemlock and white pine. Let the song of the rapids sing you to sleep. Maybe the resident owls will join the serenade. This slice of heaven is only 5 minutes from the Everett Turnpike and less than an hour from Boston. Site-1 is located under the trees adjacent to a 3 acre meadow and Christmas Tree farm. Camp near the bank of the Souhegan River in the shade of white pine, shag bark hickory and blue birch while listening to the river tumble over the ledges upstream. In season, enjoy the chest deep swimming hole 100 feet from your campsite. Two horses graze on the other side of the privacy fence. If you don't like friendly dogs try site 2 where we have a better chance of keeping our dog Wilson from dropping in to visit. He loves people too much not to want to greet folks on Site 1. Site-2 is at the farthest most downstream end of the property and from mid-May to mid-October it is totally screened by foliage. From your site you only see trees and the river. If you don't like other dogs, this is the site you want. Still no guarantee Wilson won't visit, but it's easier to keep Wilson away from this corner of the property. The other side of the river is town conservation land so the only people you're likely to see will be passing by in kayaks or on paddleboards. SPECIAL NOTE: Apr 26th Update The roads are fine. It's always a good idea to check ahead with your host if southern NH receives 2 inches of rain though. Getting in is the easier part, but confirm your vehicle won't have difficulty getting back up the slight rise to exit the sites. More description... In dry season, both sites are a great place to start a float trip and you'll likely have the next 1.5 miles all to yourself since rapids up stream become impassable in July and August. You are only two traffic lights away from the Merrimack Premium Outlet Mall if you need something to do during inclement weather.
