I have been staying at Bumpkins for over 27 years. We stayed up here several times each summer and knew the previous owners very well. I was curious when Mario and Diane bought it several years ago. Was hoping that they kept the same quiet (once all the kids are in bed) and kid friendly atmosphere. Yup, they nailed it. My grown children essentially grew up there and on all the trails in the Whites. We always felt comfortable allowing the kids free roam (obviously not bothering other people). The same holds true today. They river is amazing. So much for kids and adults alike to explore. Bathrooms are always well kept and the store has just enough of the basic goods. They even deliver firewood! This is not the place to come if you want quiet and privacy. Hence FAMILY campground. The sites are small and open. We always found that safer for the kids and it creates a more community feeling. Usually we tent, but have also stayed in the cabins. They are really cute and have basic amenities. My guess is that the people who leave negative reviews are simply not following the basic reasonable rules that they sign off on. In which case, they should not book a reservation and leave it to the people who love it there.
