Weekend Trip to Souhegan Shores

Great camping site with all the necessary items (picnic table, tarp, bathroom, flat ground). Felt secluded and private despite being close to town, very friendly host and a bonus dog! Unfortunately weather prevented us from swimming but the river looked great!

1 night at Souhegan Shores

Super peaceful camp with a smart setup, huge tarp covered platform and gorgeous woods and river. River is great for wading and fishing. No road sound. Occasional airplane flyovers. Huge hit with this fishing family.

Weekend Trip to Sip Pond Lakefront Cottage

My gf and I had a wonderful weekend with out dogs here. The pond was bigger than expected and the cabin had everything we needed. Highly recommend!!

Weekend Trip to Souhegan Shores

Great private spot in the woods! Plenty of room for tents and the covered picnic table really helped. It's near a nice river which does add to the bugs but it's a great spot and Bob as a host was fabulous as well. We would return.

Weekend Trip to Souhegan Shores

Beautiful property and very private! Definitely very buggy so come prepared. We had a great time even with the rain and hope to be back with nicer weather :)

1 night at Souhegan Shores

I had my birthday here with a couple friends and had a blast! Campfire was amazing and the wood provided was really amazing. Recommend some bug spray definitely bring that the mosquitos can get pesky around the water. 10/10 Would come back again and probably will!

2 nights at Souhegan Shores

Bob and Tini were great hosts and went out of their way to make the experience excellent. Because of the wet weather, the mosquitoes were fierce, but Bob provided enough wood, without charge, to help keep the fires going. The site is clean, quiet, and feels remote, though it's not too far from town. Definitely recommended.

Weekend Trip to Souhegan Shores

We love staying at Bobs campsites along the Souhegan River. Group of 4 adults, an 11month old baby, and one pup enjoyed a late May weekend at campsite #1. Although it rained for a good portion, the huge tarp over the picnic table was incredibly helpful! We set up an ez-up but didn't end up using it as intended over the picnic table, but put it just off to the side acting as a baby corral while we cooked meals at the site. We also fit an SUV, truck camper, and tent on the site. Loved the sound of the rushing river, made even higher by all the rain. So peaceful it felt like we were alone in the woods, even with the horse pasture on the other side of the fence. Ticks were bad this time around but we checked ourselves often. As always, we love the grate over the firepit for cooking, as well as the option to purchase firewood on site!

Weekend Trip to Souhegan Shores

We loved Bob and Tini’s land! There were well marked signs so you wont be able to miss it. Very spacious campsite with chairs and picnic table. It has been raining for the past few days so the river was rushing and was nice to hear at night. Everything exceeded our expectations. Definitely one of the best hip camps I’ve been to so far!

Weekend Trip to Souhegan Shores

I loved camping at the serenity site, it was perfectly isolated while still having everything you could need. This is the best camping spot that I have found yet I will definitely be back!

2 nights at Souhegan Shores

The site was nice and Bob was very accommodating. Wilson was also a joy

Weekend Trip to Souhegan Shores

We loved this camp site. Site two was a large size with the fire ring steps away from the wooden platform. Great to have the tarp over the platform as the rain fell. The river was raging due to the large amount of rain. Looking forward to returning when swimming is an option. So grateful for this beautiful piece of land. Will be back most definitely.

Weekend Trip to Souhegan Shores

What a beautiful slice of nature! Bob and his family were extremely accommodating. We really enjoyed the rushing river next to our camp. Would come back!

Weekend Trip to Souhegan Shores

Staying at Bob's was perfect. I rode a bike in from Boston and it rained all weekend, but the provisions on site kept me dry (as can be). The river is very nice, I swam up and down a few times. Met Bob and Wilson and had a nice chat and gave some scritches, but definitely felt like they respected my privacy as well. If you like staying at state parks and the like, but feel like you'd enjoy something a little more off the grid and a lot more private, Sauhegan Shores is perfect.

2 nights at Souhegan Shores

The owner of the camp area was very kind and helpful. The view was very beautiful and the area was very clean. It is a peaceful place where you can feel safe.

2 nights at Souhegan Shores

I loved our site at site 2. It had everything we would need and the river is right there, nice hearing it from our tent. The trails are easy to navigate. Bob is an excellent host and his attention details are awesome.

Weekend Trip to Souhegan Shores

The spot is magical. A secluded area with river access, little bridges, an outhouse, table, fire pit, and dogs roaming around. Bob and Tini are very kind and make sure you have a great stay. I wish I could keep this place hidden all to myself but it genuinely deserves a 10/10.

Weekend Trip to Souhegan Shores

Fantastic spot! Right next to the river, very spacious. Bob has made it a homy spot with a platform with a picnic table, and a nice firepit. He also provided firewood which was a great touch. Thanks for a great stay hoping to come back!

1 night at Souhegan Shores

This site is beautiful and private, right on a bend in the river with a swimming hole. There was plenty of firewood, the host was very communicative and helpful, the site was well marked, well maintained and well supplied.

Weekend Trip to Souhegan Shores

Nice host, very good privacy. Tones of space for activities and close to river. Will try site 1 next time.

Souhegan Shores

2 sites · RVs, Tents21 acres · Merrimack, NH

Camp above the bank of the Souhegan River under shade of oak, hickory, blue birch, hemlock and white pine. Let the song of the rapids sing you to sleep. Maybe the resident owls will join the serenade. This slice of heaven is only 5 minutes from the Everett Turnpike and within an hour of Boston. Weather concerns? The best forecast we've found for Merrimack is https://www.wmur.com/weather. Want to see what the river is doing? Check out https://water.noaa.gov/gauges/SOHN3. 500 CFS is a sporty run with canoe or kayak. Anything under 200 is great for swimming with kids. SPECIAL NOTE: June 22th Update River has dropped to 200 CFS which means it's at a nice level for both swimming and boating. Roads are passable. We just had campsites and surrounding trails sprayed for mosquitos and are seeing a sharp improvement on those pests. Keeping the campfire burning helps as well. More description... Site-1 is located under the trees adjacent to our 3 acre meadow and Christmas Tree farm. Camp near the bank of the Souhegan River in the shade while listening to the river tumble over the ledges upstream. In season, enjoy the chest deep swimming hole 100 feet from your campsite. Two horses graze on the other side of the privacy fence. If you don't like friendly dogs try site 2 where we have a better chance of keeping our dog Wilson from dropping in to visit. He loves people too much not to want to greet folks on Site 1. Site-2 is at the farthest most downstream end of the property and from mid-May to mid-October it is totally screened by foliage. From your site you only see trees and the river. If you don't like other dogs, this is the site you want. Still no guarantee Wilson won't visit, but it's easier to keep Wilson away from here. The other side of the river is town conservation land so the only people you're likely to see will be passing by in kayaks or on paddleboards. In dry season, both sites are a great place to start a float trip and you'll likely have the next 1.5 miles all to yourself since rapids up stream become impassable wet rocks in July and August. You are only two traffic lights away from the Merrimack Premium Outlet Mall if you need something to do during inclement weather.
