RDC is much more than a rustic resort, we are a family camp steeped in over 100 years of tradition bringing families and friends together in the natural beauty of the lakes region of New Hampshire. Rockywold Deephaven Camps accommodations offer cozy cabins, cottages and lodge rooms with rustic and vintage charm. Families enjoy delightful meals in a home-style fashion. This unique experience provides you with the opportunity to quietly read a book by the lake, take a swim, go fishing, or sign up for range of activities like softball, boating, guided nature walks, and tennis. RDC hosts numerous reunions and events for large family gatherings or conferences and we offer special group and conference rates.

I have been coming to this camp for 40+ years. Just left the camp a week ago for my summer visit. The cabins can accommodate 2 people up to 15/20. They are rustic with all of the amenities. The staff cleans the cabin and delivers fresh towels, firewood, ice blocks from the lake daily. Most cabins have big screened in porches to sit, relax and admire the beautiful lake. Organized activities include cookouts, wacky canoe, sailing, capture the flag, ultimate frisbee, softball, tennis, pickle ball, ping pong, crafts, yoga, shore swims, island picnics, and much more. The per night fee includes all of this plus 3 prepared meals per day. The good is really good and offers much variety for those with dietary restrictions. See you next year!

Overpriced for what you get. There is spotty to no internet so its almost impossible to stay updated with any work or to connect with the outside world. The food is so-so and often cold by the time you get to it.

Unfortunately RDC is in desperate need of new leadership. This place used to be SO great. They don't take covid seriously, and hide norovirus cases from guests. It's also extremely over priced. There are plenty of better options to enjoy a peaceful lake experience. We will not be returning to RDC again.

As the year draws to an end, we did not realize how much we missed our annual 2 week trip to RDC. We first visited the camp in 1988 with our 2 children. There was so much for them to do. They had available to them canoeing, kayaking, capture the flag, softball, mountain climbing, biking, and so much more. We all made friends that we looked forward to seeing every year. Many of them we continue to celebrate wedding, birthdays and special occasions with. Every day our cabin is cleaned, our beds made and our fireplace was stocked and ready to go. Everyone eats in the dining room and so there is no cooking. The staff is wonderful and very accommodating. This year the camp made a very difficult decision to not open because of the virus and everyone's safety. We totally support the decision and we CANNOT wait for our two weeks of heaven in 2021. Get ready staff, WE ARE COMING!…

My family and I have gone to RDC for many years. For many years it was a truly wonderful getaway. I have hesitated to write this review, but unfortunately since the previous general manager left, it is not the same at all. The charm is gone, the staff don't seem as happy, the prices continue to skyrocket despite quality retreating. The only food option is buffet, and there are no safety protocols or cleanliness at all. Many times I have witnessed people grabbing food with their bare hands in front of management with nothing done about it. This is not good at all considering the pandemic we are currently facing. There have been multiple cases of norovirus that management has covered up, putting further guests at risk. The cabins have amazing views, but you'd be better off camping near a lake. It's essentially the same experience with the filth, rodents and dead bugs all over the place.…

Responded Sep 14, 2020
Hi Kevin, I’m sorry to hear about your bad experience. We’re known for our exceptional attention to detail and friendly service. We regret that we missed the mark. As you probably know, RDC closed for the summer of 2020. This decision was based solely on the safety for both our guests and staff due to the pandemic. My name is Kathy Wheeler and I have been the Co-General Manager and now General Manager for over 25 years. If you’d like to discuss this further, please contact me at 603-968-3313 or kathy@rdcsquam.com. I would love to see your family return to experience the traditions that still remain and make this again your wonderful getaway.

My family has been going to RDC for longer than I can remember. We always have an amazing time, and the staff are very friendly. There are many great options for activities to do daily, and there are some great hiking trails within driving distance. The only thing I would change if I could is the food. It isn't terrible, but it also isn't something you look forward to on the trip. Either way, the dining options will not make or break your vacation. I defiantly recommend coming to RDC for a nice getaway. It's a perfect place for one couple, or for tons of friends.

I attend a retreat at RDC every September and this is a beautiful setting. The staff is attentive and friendly. The food is amazing and plentiful. The location is relaxing and heavenly. Step off the wheel of everyday chaos, disconnect from the world, and find real connection to life — here. <3

A truly wonderful experience for our family of five. There is always a lot to do and you can participate in as much or as little as you want. Of course, there is the absolute natural beauty of the place. This is a great place to reconnect with family and recharge. You get great value.

OK, we came here for a wedding and were warned in advance that the accommodations were "rustic". We were told the costs were per person per night and they put five of us in "the Ark". The photos they show on the website ARE NOT at all indicative of the Ark. Rustic would have been luxurious. There were dozens of spiders and cobwebs hanging from all the open rafters. Our cabin had no paneling, so you could see through the walls to the outside and floorboards were open to the ground below. Not a window or door functioned properly. There were giant ants throughout the cabin. Three wasps landed on my husband while we were inside. And I killed a giant spider in my bed the first night. (My son and daughter-in-law slept in their car). The one shower (for the five of us) was grimy. The walls were water soaked and smelled of mildew. We love the outdoors and would have much preferred to stay in a tent where we had some control over the indoor environment. All this for the "low low price" of $900 a night! As we went to the office to complain, two of the workers commented "oh, the Ark, yes that place really needs a complete overhaul. Most of our other places have been updated." And yet they put guests in there and charged them the same rate as others. Needless to say, we left and went to a local Inn.…

I have been coming to RDC with my family for as long as I can remember. I love it all: the environment, the people, the amenities, etc. That being said, it has a few downsides. The biggest has got to be the food. It isn’t anything that is going to be the make or break on retuning another year, but it isn’t the best they could do. Otherwise, the only problems we’ve had in the last few years was the mattresses, although those were replaced all over camp last spring so for the next few years we’re good!
