And just like that, another Memorial Day Weekend is upon us, and we are ready to kick off the summer! We are accepting reservations as usual this year, and we REALLY are looking forward to seeing all of you guys after so long! We are VERY fortunate that our entire family is now fully vaccinated, with the only exception being our 8-year-old son, and so masks will not be required, and all of the usual indoor spaces will be open. For anyone who does not feel comfortable coming into our camp store, please feel free to call the phone number posted on the front and we will be more than happy to provide service outdoors with anything you may need. We will be having kids' activities held outdoors whenever possible, but now there is a growing body of research showing that the risk of under-12s catching COVID is very, very small with only a brief time spent indoors, so we will be having some activities in our Rec Hall when the weather is poor. Our activities will all be led by someone who is fully vaccinated. The only activity we do not plan to schedule this year is our mini-Haunted House on Labor Day Weekend, because it won't be practical to either arrange it around the weather or to have a bunch of people all screaming in terror (lol) in a small enclosed area indoors. All of our other Halloween-themed stuff for Labor Day will be happening as usual, including trick-or-treating.

We would like to send out a very heartfelt and sincere THANK YOU to all of our guests, especially our seasonal campers, who not only help make this place so friendly and welcoming, but also quite literally kept us afloat in a very uncertain year. Many, many mom-and-pop businesses were not so fortunate in 2020. Can't wait to see you around the campfire!!!!!!!!!

Hello all, we have updated our website to reflect where the campground is at this time in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic. At this time, we are not anticipating any delays to opening on May 15th.. with some fairly heavy new restrictions in place for everyone's safety. We'd like to send a shout-out to all of our camping family: our seasonals, our regulars who have been coming every year for years. You have all been SO supportive of us, and absolutely on the same page regarding how to keep our camping family safe and still enjoy a (nearly) normal summer. We really, truly appreciate you all. I'd also like to offer an apology to anyone who tries to reach out via Facebook, it's never been a platform I enjoy and I likely have missed messages if you've sent them. We much prefer email at [email protected] Seasonals ONLY now have access to our Slack channel for live updates. These guidelines represent a WORST CASE scenario which presumes there are still widespread lockdown measures and other social distancing rules in place on May 15. May 15 is enough weeks from now that NONE of these restrictions may apply this summer, but this is our starting point for operations under current circumstances. Thanks again and we hope you and your families are safe and well, and we hope you see that we are committed to keeping everyone here safe and well, too.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we will likely be TEMPORARILY changing our business operations here at Lake Ivanhoe Campground, due to the crucial need to mitigate the threat of the virus to our camping community. We feel VERY fortunate that Gov. Sununu has allowed campgrounds to continue to operate...
