Spacious Skies Campgrounds - French Pond

The campsites are nice and very large. We loved the saltwater pool and well stocked camp store. The pond is great for kayaking or catching frogs, but not swimmable. Don't forget to bring a net for your little ones! The only downside was a large, very loud group that came in and took over the campground and ignored the quiet time hours. We did not call and complain that night because management was very clearly aware and made multiple visits to their sites. I just wish the quiet time hours had been enforced because it was made for a very long night. We did speak to the office the next morning and we're assured that the GM was aware. We are definitely planning on coming back despite our experience. We also plan on visiting some of their other locations.

Campsite was nice, spacious, gravel area. Nice pool a bit small and store was well stocked next updated. Can not swim at pond beach. Campground need some maintenance some areas of campground are very run down. Doesn't seem anyone monitored campers noise or behavior after quiet hours, some were extremely loud until 2am which is way after quiet time. Not alot to do in the local area.

We booked a week-long trip to get some relaxation in and we definitely did thanks to the amazing staff. They answered all the questions we could possibly have and made our trip memorable. I wish I could give more than a five star review for Adam and his staff. Keep up the excellent work and making other people's vacations just as memorable as mine.

What an amazing, relaxing camp ground this is. We found this one day looking for a place that was close, but still felt like a getaway. Amazing, big, clean sites. Pool was so fun. The pond did not have boat rentals or a good place to fish from but, with a float, we passed the Lilly pads and what a relaxing time just sitting in my float, my son and I. If relaxation is what you’re looking for, this is your place.

Beautiful large campground in Henniker, NH. Stayed 5 nights in a cabin. Did day trips to Concord, Manchester, Contoocook and Henniker. |Saltwater Pool and corn hole. Have horseshoe pit but no horseshoes. Have a lake but it’s covered in lily pads so I was unable to fish. You can rent a kayak but I was uncertain I could paddle through the lilies. Very disappointed I couldn’t fish or use the lake.|The cabin has bare minimum kitchen supplies so bring your own. Also, no grill or TV. The bed is so close to the wall that it is dangerous and a trip hazard. Bathroom is small for the tub. Extra large kitchen. Cabin is overlooking the lake, nice view. Large deck and fire pit. Patio lights strung on trees. Beach needs more sand. Campground was larger than others. The two managers are new since March. Campground needs some money invested in it so that it can be busy and get a five star.

We have been camping for about 25 years now, this was our second stay at this campground, our first since it changed names (formerly Mile-away). The first stay, 8-9 years ago, was near the beach/ mini golf (now a playground). Only issue was getting our 29 foot camper in and out of the spot near the beach. We thought about going away this year for 4th of July, long weekend, and remembered this campground. Looked it up and found they had several sites available! We chose one up in the woods, that from the map, appeared to be easy to get into. It was not. The roads have narrow spots, so before we even got to our spot some rocks has rolled into the road, acted like wheel chocks. After surveying the spot, debating if I should go back down and see if there were any other spots available, I devised a plan, with my son walking it to make sure I could make it all the way around the circle (apologies to the person who has flowers planted on the corner). I have been in tight spots before, this was not the worst, but in the top 5. Lots of trees, rock walls, just difficult. The nice folks across the way moved theirs cars so I could swing it a bit wider, and did say "good job" when I finally got it into the site. Once parked we started to hook up utilities, all were in the back of the site, on the wrong side. I probably should have repositioned the trailer towards the middle of the site. But the large tree in the center of the site would have prevented my awning going out all the way if I put it in the best place for hookups. Hookups were old. Just a 30 amp plug, no breaker (very careful with what we were running, didn't want to risk tripping a breaker someplace). And we used everything we had, electric extension cord, all our water hose and all 3 sewer hoses connected together. There was a cable TV hookup, we had no wi-fi, no cell service, so hooked it up just to see if it worked, it didn't (don't remember seeing it as an amenity, but figured we would try). There was wi-fi down near the office if we needed it). First night was interesting, we went down to check out where the bathrooms were and get some firewood. There were police in the camp store, we decided we wouldn't have a campfire that night. When we got back to our site the police were across the way talking to someone. Next couple hours that guy was trying to tow an old car around, that started again first the morning, more car pulling, motorcycle revving, moving a trailer around... Not the campground's fault, just was pretty noisy for a few hours. The campground was nice. Woman who checked us in was fast and efficient. We had two cars, no problem getting a second parking pass. There were a few activities planned, not overwhelming, free coffee one morning, make a necklace, Saturday morning cartoons. We did play candy bar bingo, guy who ran it seemed nice and friendly. We didn't use pool, it was small, not very deep, and very crowded (for it's size). There is also a beach area, would be appealing if the pulled out weeds. After you got ankle deep it was solid weeds. My wife did bring out a kayak, and said it was nice once she got out past the weeds. There was a little playground for smaller kids, there are two bathhouses we found, both were clean and appeared to be renovated in the recent past (or just maintained well, I don't remember them from my last visit). Although most of the sites are transient (nightly/ weekly rental), there are some seasonal. Several sites are year round (heated water), and there are several campers that have seen better days. I am not one for lots of campground rules, but broken down vehicles, and broken down trailers with lots of "stuff" on the site do take away from the experience a bit. We would enjoy going back. Perhaps adding "suggested max length" and updated utilities (pedestal).

Campground not far from anywhere really. But once in the woods of the Campground, your mind lets you escape the hustle and bustle of life and you get to enjoy peace with nature.

Update Dec 18/24 Either the review, phone calls or email got a response and our issue with the power bill has been happily addressed. Again the camp staff is great but trying to deal with issues by phone or email is much too difficult so the overall rating is a 4. Dec 16/24 We needed a place to stay with our Motor Home for November while my spouse recovered from knee replacement surgery. Staff was great, washrooms clean (they are on winter water now so only about 1/3 of campground open) and propane refills were readily available. I am giving a 2 for overall rating for one big reason. The office was closed Thanksgiving and Black Friday and did not open before we left on Nov 30. I did not discover this until after the office closed on Wednesday. Not a problem I thought. We knew we owed for a month of power and three days after we left, our credit card was hit for $240.15. No invoice with start and end meter usage just a hit on our card. We have called and left two messages that have been ignored. I have emailed looking for the details on this horrendous bill. ******Issue has been resolved***************

I arrived in mid-April and stayed through the end of May. The park was pretty close to closed. I literally met 1 other couple during my stay. The staff was professional and helpful when able to find them. It was very very quiet. Campground is very remotely located so expect a drive to get anywhere. I frequently had internet connection issues using my Verizon and T-mobile access.
