Bear's Pine Woods Campground & Resort — Hotel in Moultonborough

Let me just start out by saying that with just about any place there are positives and negatives. All in all our stay was pretty disappointing. We came from quite a distance for a famiy reunion near Lake Winnipesaukee and needed a place to stay. When I say a distance...NY, NJ and VA.||||The owner was friendly when making the reservations and friendly in general unless we had a complaint. The woman who works in the store is absolutely lovely. I wish I had gotten her name. ||||When I called before coming about the online reviews of the sewage smell I was reassured that it may happen when guests don't use enough water to flush. Well, in site 65 (a rental) the sewage smell came and went often...so often that we really couldn't enjoy our time outside. We were shown the proper way to use the facilities. It was NOT due to anything we did. We smelled it pretty much immediately. We had bought a bundle of firewood but, we never even wanted to have a fire. ||||The RV rentals are very uncomfortable. They are advertised to fit up to 6 people, but honesly, I wouldn't try. We were 4 and were tight. The one bunk bed was broken. The mattress pads for the bunk beds are only about 1 1/2" thick, so you need to use quite a few. I actually went to the campground store and asked if they had an additional pad, and the owner seemed a little annoyed. He nicely was willing to come and fix the one bunk bed, but I didn't have anyone needing it, so I said it wasn't necessary. I just wanted the owners to know that we weren't responsible for it breaking. The mattresses in the bedrooms of the RVs are all springs. We had to use the pads for the bunk beds for cushion.||||The campground is nice. The neighbors are friendly. I have seen reviews of the showers being unclean, but I didn't think they were a problem. There wasn't enough hot water for more than 2 short showers in the RV, so we had to use the public ones.||||When checking out some of our family was nicely letting the owners know of these issues. They weren't very receptive. When my father was letting the owner know of the RV being unlevel he turned his back as my Dad was speaking. Not ok.||||SO, do I hate the campground? No. If the owners would fix the issues IMO it would be a decent place to stay. I would definitely avoid rental site 65.||||BTW, you will notice from my review history that I'm not a serial negative reviewer. I just thought these issues should be known. I possibly would have given a higher rating if we...

This is an accurate and fair review so, I will share the good as well as the bad. the bad first. In the event you continue through the bad, I will then list the good.||||The BAD:||Our campsite had raw sewage running through it! The guy who runs the CG was very nice and moved us immediately so he could fix the problem. That said, we only moved across the dirt road to a higher elevation and he never fixed the Issue. ||||Our new campsite had another sewer line that was open and no cap! I smelled horrible! All site have waste hook ups and from what we saw, many were uncapped and broken. ||||Then there were the flies! OMG there were flies everywhere! I am assuming from the sewage problem. ||||The showers were free but not enough hot water. I had a hot shower one night but no one else did in a group either night. While leaving the shower, a door louver fell on my wife's head!!! She went in an told them in the office and they said "That fell out again??" Wow! No offer for an apology or comp a night or anything! So my wife had a nice egg on her head. Luckily it wasn't a small child that got hit and lucky it didn't break her nose.||||The showers do not have a mirror so you have to go upstairs to the bathroom. The bathrooms smell worse than an outhouse. (Seeing a trend here?) The toilets and counter was clean but the bench where you need to place your belonging was disgusting. I didn't want to set anything on it!||||Wood was $5. for a 5 gal bucket and the wood wasn't very dry so it didn't burn well. The size and price is not that unusual but not very dry wood is.||||The good:||Very friendly staff and seasonal campers will to share info.||They lent us an electric adapter for no fee.||The store items and ice were very fairly priced for a camp ground store. Ice was only $2. a bag.||There were a lot of very nice camp sites and most were flat.||Free showers. (if you don't mind less than hot showers.||||I tried to stay positive after the first sewer incident but thing just kept getting worse. I hate to give a bad review to nice people but this review needed...

Have stayed in better but also stayed in worse. The good; campground was quiet and relatively well kept! Road in was a little on the rough side but it was the first campground in a year and a half that we have been to where the owner led us to our site in his golf cart. The bad; the power there is unreliable thankfully it was not hot because we could not run our air conditioner with the power being supplied to our 30 amp site. My surge box read low voltage all weekend and at times only running the fridge off the electric cause the travel trailer to switch to gas automatically. First off thought maybe it was my camper which is only two years old till i discovered a couple of the other sites had the same issue as we did regarding power supply. None of the seasonal folks seem to have the power issue that we had which leads me to believe the power being fed to the transient camp sites may not be done correctly to supply...
