When it comes to an event space, Baker Rocks is definitely a hidden gem. We had our wedding there at the end of September and everything was BEYOND our expectations. We had been looking at wedding venues for a while and everywhere else in this part of New Hampshire was ridiculously expensive and did not offer much space for the event or for on-site lodging. Baker Rocks excelled over the competition and we booked the whole campground for the weekend at an extremely fair price. My wife and her MOH stumbled upon this venue by happenstance and immediately fell in love with the location. The campground is very spacious and is surrounded by trees, hills, and a river. The whole venue has a wonderful “getaway camping trip” sort of vibe to it. It feels open in the areas you need it to yet also manages to feel very secluded. It’s far enough away from the highway that you don’t hear vehicles so the whole campground is wonderfully hushed. The grounds are well maintained and the lodging spaces were very cozy, clean, and peaceful. The outdoor event space was beautiful with plenty of room to host our reception. The reception/outdoor event area has a concrete pad with an overhang, a pergola, and a fire pit. There are solid-frame cabins, yurts, tents, and campsite spaces. The solid-frame structures have complete bathrooms and kitchens inside while the tent site area has a bathhouse building with showers and stalls. We booked the whole campground for the weekend and had plenty of room to accommodate our bridal party. Every shelter had a comfortable bed, heat, and lights. The owners were also very accommodating to our event ideas. There was plenty of room for us to set up an outdoor ceremony separate from the reception area. A lot of the campground has permanent sites but we were still able to move a couple things around (such as picnic tables, the outdoor couches, etc.) when it came to the reception/outdoor event area. They were also able and willing to provide power for our freezer/lights and had solar-powered lights at all sites, too. Plus, there were good speakers at the outdoor event area that we were able to use! And if you need to get a workout in, there is an enclosed gym on site for fitness. Overall, the campground very welcoming, aesthetically pleasing, and fairly priced. However, the owners are what really set this venue apart from all the others. We were the first wedding that they have hosted and they were more than reasonable while working with our requests and accommodations. You won’t find a nicer or more helpful set of owners at an event site. I cannot recommend this location enough if you’re looking to host a wedding or big event! It’s well worth a consultation with the owners to see if Baker Rocks is the perfect location for your next getaway or event....
Read moreThis is a great family friendly & low key campground. In all my years of camping I’ve never seen a place quite like it. I couldn’t believe how private most of the sites were.
We stayed in Pine Grove, and our 9x14 tent fit on the platform (about 10x15ft). Trees were perfectly spaced apart for things like a clothesline. The space was huge and well cleared, so our child had plenty of room to play.
Most of the sites, while private and tucked away, circle a wildflower field where the bathhouse is (plenty of separate toilet/sink & shower stalls with surprising amount of privacy, large sink outside, and always enough hot water).
Of note, other fave sites we saw: Tipi (in view from pine grove) is shaded and has an INCREDIBLE view of river & hills, River Run is a beautiful, big sandy bare site overlooking the river/hills (w a little bit of shade), & Double Bell is a gorgeous & massive shaded glamping site (a 5ft or so slight slope leads down from parking). Photos don’t quite do these sites justice.
The river is wonderful, and while the landscape changes due to the nature of such a river, the beach was huge and there were plenty of shallow areas for kiddos to enjoy supervised play. We spent most of a day playing, tubing, picnicking, and relaxing at the river. There were beach toys & chairs, and because of the limited amount of sites we always had tons of space to ourselves.
It’s a bonus that there are farm animals and a playground.
This campground felt very safe and well run, and the owners were super responsive to my questions before booking.
We didn’t see a single tick, but due to all the recent rain mosquitos were very active (obv, it is a river area) so don’t forget the bug spray.
This place has accommodations for everyone, whether shaded forest, open views/stargazing, or a small house w hot tub, and would make a great meet up spot for families/friends with different vaca...
Read moreBeautiful space and site - I had high hopes for Baker Rocks. Staff was very friendly upon arrival, all their facilities were new and clean and they add very nice touches to elevate their campsites.
The reason I can only give this site two stars: Within the first two hours of being at our campsite (Pine Grove), we pulled roughly 20 ticks off of us and found a number of others on the picnic table and chairs. We believe there may have be a grouping of eggs (i.e. nest) that just hatched and we were the lucky ones to come upon it.
I understand ticks are part of the outdoors and nests like this can happen. What was unfortunate was the way the site organizers choose to respond. We tried to contact them by calling to see about a different site (since it was after the noted office hours) and couldn't reach them that evening, so we ended up driving home, uncomfortable with camping at the site. They did reach out in the morning to say they had noticed we left and wanted to make sure everything was okay, but when we shared what happened we heard nothing for another 48 hours. The response that followed was combative, condescending and had no intention of creating any sort of resolution.
Beautiful site with a lot of promise - I really wanted to love this place, but given the way our situation was handled, we...
