My Husband and I and are 3 children have been seasonal residents of Tidewater Campground for 4yrs now. Im usually the one that reads reviews before going to any place to see what people are saying. But now seeing all the negative ones about Tidewater, I will have to make my own judgement on certain places. Tidewater is a safe,clean,family... More

You should believe what you read about this place. There are to many rules, bad attitudes and unhappy campers.The old man on the bike is a wackadoodle and woman in the office is nasty and rude. Campers beware!

I booked a site for Labor Day weekend 2012. My family arrived and we went in the office to check in. My nine year old daughter was tapping her fingers and Mrs. Shaw snapped at her to stop doing it. She (Mrs. Shaw) seemed extremely rude and unpleasant. Maybe just a fluke? Nope... So I finally get ready to pull... More

Camping is supposed to be fun. These people completely suck the life out of it. They should get out of the business and If you want an unfriendly place where you get yelled at by a grumpy Nazi staff about too many rules this is the place for you!

Too many rules. Not family or children friendly. Camping is meant to be fun, kids are meant to go meet other kids and play games, etc. which I really didn't see happening here. Rules prevent the fun and noise the kids might make and have. I grew up going camping with my family and we met other kids, played outdoor... More

We go to camp with my family 1-2 times a year. We haven't been in Hampton Beach for 8 years because our previous campground ( Blackbear got filthy). So we tried Tidewater this year. We spent 3 nights at Tidewater. We loved the place. It is conveniently located 2 miles from the beach. Since it is close to the highway,... More

I do like the quiet, so I was very impressed with the cleanliness and the peacefulness of this park. We only stayed three nights and never sat outside as we were on the go most of the day. It did get humorous to watch people driving "walking speed", as this is basically a crawl in an auto. However, I can... More
