Crow’s Nest Campground has opened reservations for the 2026 camping season after completing a series of off-season facility upgrades at its campground in Newport, New Hampshire, a move aimed at capturing early demand from families planning spring and summer travel.
The opening of reservations signals an operational push to secure bookings earlier in the cycle, a strategy increasingly used by private campgrounds as peak-season inventory fills faster across the Northeast.
According to a press release, recent enhancements include expanded waterfront campsites, upgraded pool amenities, and improvements to its pavilion facilities.
“We’re seeing unprecedented interest from families who want to reconnect with nature without sacrificing modern comforts,” the Crow’s Nest Campground management team said.
The Newport property offers a mix of accommodation types, including RV sites with full hookups, glamping units, pop-up sites, and traditional tent camping.
Guests can also choose from wooded sites, waterfront locations with lake access, or open field sites with views of the surrounding area.
Crow’s Nest Campground is located minutes from Mount Sunapee and Lake Sunapee, positioning the property as a basecamp for both seasonal and shoulder-season recreation.
On-site amenities include a game room, a putt-putt course, and a heated pool, providing weather-independent activities for families. These features reflect a broader trend among family-focused campgrounds to invest in experiential amenities that extend guest stays.
The campground also highlights its pavilion, which was upgraded to accommodate gatherings of up to 75 people.
According to the press release, industry participation trends indicate that camping activity in New Hampshire has increased steadily in recent years, with family travelers accounting for the largest share of demand.
“The campground Newport facility’s strategic location between major population centers and outdoor recreation areas positions it well to serve this expanding market,” the press release adds.
