We went to the beach part, not real big but has nice views of the lake. It has a playground

Ellacoya State Park is clean, calm, and perfect for families or anyone looking to relax. The water was clear and refreshing, and the views of Lake Winnipesaukee are absolutely stunning. Plenty of space to enjoy, not overly crowded, and the whole vibe is very peaceful.
Parking was convenient, and everything felt well-maintained. A lovely spot for a quiet walk along the shore or just dipping your feet in and soaking up nature

As a longtime user and guest of NH State Parks throughout the state, Ellacoya enjoys an amazing location, with decent sized sites, and a bathroom and bathhouse that leaves much to be desired. 🤢🤮 Was honestly surprised by the total lack of care during out stay, which is far outside the norm, for all CGs we visit. 😢
