DIRECTIONS; On the east end of the city - if coming in on highway 7 from the east, stay to the right where 7 meets Lansdowne Street. At Ashburnham turn right (watch for the signs to the Lift Locks) at the
lights and go North. Turn left at the
lights with the campground sign. Go through the parking lot and sign in at the camp
registration booth.
If coming from the West, North or South, Take the 7/115 bypass east to the Ashburnham Exit. When you get around to Ashburnham Drive, turn left. Go through the stoplights at Lansdowne and continue to the Campground Sign. You’ll see the big Red Boot sign for Nelson’s Boots on the south east corner of Lansdowne and Ashburnham and Tim Hortons on the South West corner (yes you can walk there).
CAMP SITES & RATES; We are located in the Group Camping area and the fee is $6.00 per night PER PERSON. Once you have checked in and paid at the booth, come over to the EggFest Welcome Centre and we’ll direct you into the area because this is a smaller campground so it will have to be cozy camping!
SERVICES; If someone has to have services, there are a few serviced sites nearby but you will have to phone Beavermead to make your own arrangements, either before Thanksgiving or after the first weekend in May. The rates for serviced sites are around $40 this year.
RESERVATIONS/REGISTRATION; If you are planning on joining the group camping, you don’t need to reserve with the campground. But I have to provide them with a list of attendees, so please phone or email me with your name, location, contact email or phone # plus the year and model of your unit, in order to be put on the group camping list by the 15th of May. Anyone not on the list will have to make their own arrangements regarding camping sites and rates when they arrive. The group sites will be held for people on the list. If something changes and you cannot come, please let me know so I can make room for others wanting to come. We are limited to 40 trailers in our group sites.
BEAVERMEAD CAMPGROUND. Beavermead is located in the city of Peterborough, home of the world famous Lift Locks. The city has the Canoe Museum and a wide array of things to see and do.
