If you're into hiking, you can't beat Lafayette in Franconia notch since they are right at the trail head for hiking the ridge. http://www.reserveamerica.com/campin...&parkId=270044

My personal pick - Glen Ellis campground, where the Ellis and Saco rivers meet. More of a resort with ballfields, pool, tennis courts, etc, but still pretty spread out and comfortable. They even have remote tenting where you leave your car behind. http://www.glenelliscampground.com/

Enjoy.

We have stayed at Glen Ellis twice. Once 9 years ago, and once last month. They have tons of stuff to do, and the staff there is very nice. We enjoyed both of our stays very much, and I would highly recommend it.

Another "resort" type campground would be Moose Hillock campground, over in Warren. They have a great swimming pool, with a good sized waterslide for the kids. Their campsites are HUGE, and most of them have what I like to call "built-in" firepits. They are built with the existing boulders/rocks. We love that place as well, but it is definately geared more towards families with kids.

I second Moosehillock! It is our favorite campground. Far enough off the beaten path with absolutely no highway noise. We stayed there this past July and our heading up for Labor day weekend. Our two boys can't get enough of the Pirate Ship waterslide.
As Chipj29 said, the campsites are huge and very private.
