Umbagog Lake Campground

Park staff were so friendly. The campsites had some privacy with trees and the lake views were amazing. New building for laundry, bathroom and showers were amazing with fabulous HOT showers.

Beautiful, clean lake with sites close to the lake. I was not plugged in. There was an ATV festival so very noisy.

Older campground on Lake Umbagog near Errol New Hampshire. Sites close together, some very small, not private. Some in the sun and some under the trees. All with water and electric but the W/E locations were either on the right or left and some folks had long extension cords to reach it. Dump station. No wifi. Boat launch area, dock, etc. Area for boat trailer parking. New large wash room with coin operated showers and dishwashing station, centrally located. Vault toilets in the nether regions. Close to state highway but truck traffic seemed limited to daylight hours.

Beautiful spot, but... Sites 1-4 are on a slope and are not well leveled. I had to move the trailer back and forth to find a spot with /only/ 4 1/2" of slope. Utility posts are sometimes on the right and sometimes on the left - as another revu says, bring an extra extension and hose. My site, I thought, had a nice view of the lake. Sadly, no. Because the folks in the 1a,b,c,d sites don't have room for their tow vehicles, I have a view of a parking lot.

My husband and I were gifted NH State Park gift certificates from our kids. We chose This campgrounds because it had electric sites in a part of NH we had yet to discover. What a wonderful 9 days we have had. We were on site 28 and had more than enough room to spread out and have a small view of the lake. We found the staff to be exceptionally friendly and helpful throughout stay. The new bathhouse offered super clean facilities that included coin operated showers, a dish washing area and a great laundry room. We are Verizon subscribers and had excellent internet. We really couldn’t have been happier here. The kayaking on a foggy morning was great for wild life sightings.

As we got about a mile from the campground we had a moose walk out in the street in front of us. It looked at us for a few minutes and took off. That was a great sign. We were there for 14 nights over the 4th of July. We were in site 42 which has a waterview. You can kayak right from your campsite. It's a little tight trying to back in, yet the site itself is big. We had water & electric and there is a dump station onsite. Our site was shaded and private. They sell ice & firewood there along with a small store with a few supplies. We had a great sunset view and then the lighting bugs come out. The bullfrogs would sing and the Loons are nice to hear & see.

The staff and volunteers were amazing, helpful and you can tell they love their jobs.

There are some waterfront sites near the swim beach too some do not have any shade.

Site 1D is right on the water and has a little shade. Site 1 C next to 1 D isn't bad either. Site 41 is nice yet it's more for a tent camper. Site 43 backs up to the boat house so you don't have water access yet it's a big shaded site.

They have primitive sites you can boat to or you can hire the park to take you back & forth. I believe some are as far as 12 miles from the park. They have these metal boats that the front end drops down you can walk stuff right on & off the boat. There are side bar kayak/canoe carriers too so you can take your kayak with you. The park also rents kayaks & canoes.

We really enjoyed sitting on our chairs in the water at our site watching the boat take people out.

There is a nice bath house and laundry room. There are some cabins too.

When you leave the park and go left your in Maine within a few miles. There is a little store called Upton's that has some food, beer & wine, water and items for sale along with they do lunches and breakfast sandwiches. We bought some chicken salad, potato salad and fresh carrot cake cupcakes from there it was good. If you pass the store you will come to Grafton Notch state park. There are some overlooks and hiking trails. Screw Auger falls was nice and the beautiful wildflowers were in full bloom.

When you leave the park and turn right toward Errol there is a small grocery store that was just opening they had some groceries and Liquor. There is large outfitter/grocery/ Ace hardware store and a gas station. It was packed. We needed propane so Ace filled our tank. The outfitter store sells hunting/fishing permits and any sporting good item you can think of. There are a few little stores to shop for a souvenir.

Before you get to Errol you can take a right onto route 16 and drive to rangeley Maine. What a cute town with shops and good places to eat. There was a fresh market on wednesdays and a fresh seafood truck that sold good seafood from the truck. We bought native scallops, Salmon & shrimp and made a excellent dinner. The first 7 miles of 16 were a little rough yet once you hit the border of Main it's all new paved road. We ate at Parkside & main. Had a lobster roll of coarse and the clam chowder was the best. On the way back to camp we got some farm fresh eggs for $3.00 a dozen. There is an IGA grocery store there too.

We really enjoyed just sitting in our chairs in the water at our site and chilling. There were a lot of baby ducks that would visit everyday. They would swim around us & between us while we sat in the water. Very peaceful and quiet.

On the 4th of July someone had some great fireworks and put on a good show. We loved this campground it was a beautiful place to spend time.

Camped here with friends for Columbus Day week. Had great time hanging out and fishing. Staff very friendly. Only issue was leveling and access to our water and power. Bring extra hose and electric cord just in case needed. Our hookups were on our front side.

Camped down near water on east side of camp ground. Only issue was hookups were on passenger side so needed longer hose and electrical cord. Was very quite in early October and we didn't see much for Moose. We did catch some fish and had fun on lake. Had cell service and use that for internet. They charge for wifi use.
