We had a blast at North Hartland Lake Beach. The staff were amazing. We decided to use the grounds for a welcome dinner for our wedding being held by. It was very affordable to rent the pavillion. We had free reign of a large area. They were very accommodating with us bringing in our own food and alcohol, as long as we removed it all. I highly recommend the staff and tis location. I only wish we had more time to experience it all.

Convenient location for our Church group. Shelter provided security in case of rain. It ended up being a great weather day. Young kids enjoyed the swimming. Everyone enjoyed themselves.

Another time I would want to have a pavilion/shelter closer to the beach if available. The Children in attendance would have enjoyed swimming. However, the play area was great for them. When Surry cancelled our event just a week before it was to occur, we were grateful to be able to book our reunion at North Hartland Beach. Thank you.

  • Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
  • Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
    • Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
  • Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
