I have limited experience with campgrounds. We biked here and camped in a tent-only location. They had power and water to our areas. Very friendly owner who came to chat with my group. I'd definitely go again! Note: bring quarters for paid showers.

Nickerson Family Campground put on a wonderful Labor Day weekend. It was filled with activties for both young and old. Finishing off with a huge bonfire and a band playing 50s & 60s music. Great job by all of those involved in putting & planning the weekend.

Staff was super helpful and friendly. Site was clean and spacious. Taking tubes down the river was great. Multiple places to enter and exit the water located within the campground.

We were greeted on the phone by Diane, super friendly, while making a last-minute reservation. We booked a river site with water and 30amp electric, and the site was very spacious. The campground is very clean and well maintained. Ray and Heather greeted us on arrival and explained how to get to our site.
We visited the clubhouse/office for ice cream after supper and had a great visit with Heather. The clubhouse has games and area to socialize. They have entertainment on holiday weekends.
This truly is the way a family campground
should be. There are lots of play areas and a hiking trail that leads to 13k acres of state forest. They are dog and kid friendly. A very cute playground and volleyball area is available. They sell propane, ice and firewood. All the things you need to have a great time. I highly recommend camping here.
