Lanes End Campground/Marina, Melvin Village
just wondering if anyone has any info about this place, specifically the campground. their website is pretty bare and nothing much comes up on a search about the place.
the wife and i are considering a seasonal camper/campground and there aren't very many on winni. ideally somewhere i can dock my boat so i can fish! |

that helps, thank you.
kid friendly is a must, we have a 2 yr old and a 7 yr old who both love to "camp". when i grew up, we had a seasonal site at clearwater campground for several years. some of my best memories are from those years and that place, i'd like to do the same for my kids. there are tons of campgrounds with seasonal sites around, but i want one on the big like so i can use my boat. |

We're (my wife, 5-year-old, and 3-year-old) in Arcadia in Moultonborough and like it very much, but it's an association rather than a campground.

We kept our boat there one summer. Staff is super nice. Camp area always seemed clean, lots of kids running around. We weren't technically allowed beach access with our slip rental, but one of us would often take the kids to the beach area after a boat ride while the other closed up the boat. They have a nice sandy beach. Very convenient to have gas right there. Easy trips to Pier 19, Winter Harbor, and Wolfeboro.
Only reason we left is because we didn't have enough days to use our boat to justify the expense of the slip. |

Nice place. Great marina. Wonderful staff. We used the marina for service and storage for many years. Highly recommended. Not a campground. Seasonal cabins for rent, however.

thanks for the feedback guys. we went up on saturday and did a walk-through of the place. you're right, all seasonals, but that's good because that may be a good option for us. there are 2 units for sale in there, both seasonal travel trailers/campers. one is nice but on a crappy site. the other is older and smaller and in less than desirable condition, but it's on a nice site. it's about 20 yards from the waters edge with a nice fire pit. the owner wants too much for it though. probably not going to be doing anything this year, but at least we know about the place and we'll likely do a cabin rental and see how we like the it, if it's somewhere we'd like to be. overall our first impressions were pretty positive though.
