Ellacoya State Park is located in Gilford on the southwest shore of Lake Winnipesaukee, New Hampshire's largest lake. The 600-foot long sandy beach, with views across the lake to the Sandwich and Ossipee mountains, is a great place to spend with the family for a full day of swimming and picnicking. The campground includes 37 sites available by reservation only, and offers three-way hook-ups. Tents are not allowed at the RV park. Pets are not allowed in the RV campground or in other areas of the park.
The campground is open for reservable stays from Memorial Day weekend through Columbus Day weekend.
Beautiful place. We had a great day. Nice picnic area, nice big playground, little store and clean bathrooms.
A Hidden Gem full of surprises:
I recently visited the beautiful 65-acre Ellacoya State Park and was thoroughly impressed by the variety of activities and amenities available. The park features well-maintained hiking and biking trails, which provided hours of outdoor adventure. The pristine beaches were perfect for swimming and soaking up the sun, while the spacious RV lots made for a comfortable camping experience.
The park also offers ample picnic tables for visitors to enjoy a meal in the great outdoors, as well as clean shower rooms for a refreshing rinse after a day of fun. One of the highlights of my visit was discovering the serene Poor Farm Brook located within the park. The peaceful setting and the sound of the babbling brook made for a truly relaxing experience.
The beach does have a public restroom and a play area for kids. Grills are also available near the picnic benches. It's a good place for family reunions. Good for picnics.
This was our first time to Ellacoya State Park. Beautiful beach, nice playground, clean bathrooms, camping grills,Volleyball ground. We had good time. Even we went on long weekend it wasn’t crowded. Lots of picnic tables.
Such a pretty beach! We went on a weekday and the beach was well groomed and not busy at all. There's a nice, good size playground for the kids. Bathrooms are well maintained and outhouses available if after hours. I need to frequent this state park more often.
