Sometimes staying at campgrounds in the Lake Winnipesaukee area of New Hampshire is the best way to get away from the hectic demands of life. Even though I haven't roughed it in the woods since I was a child, I have friends that do.
Some of these places are more rural while others are close to all the activities in the New Hampshire lakes region.
Besides being close to nature, some places have swimming pools, playgrounds, nearby shopping and dining and much more.
Whether you're into completely roughing it with tents on a wooded site or using an RV with nearby facilities, you can find something in the lakes region.
If you want to avoid all the people, these campsites are ideal for your Lake Winnipesaukee vacation with nature.
