New Hampshire
Since 1897, families have been coming to stay at this rustic summer getaway on Squam Lake. Cabins, cottages and lodge rooms are available, along with three home-cooked meals daily, and the simple pleasures of swimming, boating, fishing and easygoing lakeside living. Refrigeration for the entire camp is provided by iceboxes stocked with ice harvested from the lake each winter.
In July and August cottages can only be rented by the week, but lodge rooms are still available for overnight rentals.
