While there's plenty to do right onsite at Suncook River Camp, we're also so proud to show off our surrounding community of restaurants, breweries, outdoor (and indoor!) activities, NH's largest State Park, and local farm stands & grocers.
There's lots to do in Suncook Village, Allenstown, Pembroke, Hooksett, Epsom and Concord. Whether you like the outdoors (hikes, mountain biking, kayaking), want a good local restaurant, or want to get indoors to avoid bad weather. Here are some of our favorite spots, but don't hesitate to ask for other options as well.
