Camp Avalon - Historic Waterfront, 3 cabins

Welcome to Camp Avalon, a rare and historic lakefront property nestled on a quiet point of land on New Hampshire’s Great East Lake. Originally operated as a girls’ camp in the 1930s, this lovingly preserved retreat offers guests a chance to reconnect with nature, family, and simpler summer days.

Set at the end of a private road, Camp Avalon features three charming cabins, two lakefront docks, and a private sandy beach, all surrounded by over 300 feet of crystal-clear waterfront. It's a place where generations have gathered - and where yours can too. 

🏡 The Property

Sleeps 10 across three restored cabins

Two docks for swimming, sunning, and launching boats

Private beach area with gentle entry — perfect for kids

Fire pit for evening stories and stargazing

Canoe provided for paddling adventures

Refreshing outdoor showers plus indoor shower in the main camp building

Basic amenities with rustic charm and modern touches

End-of-road privacy with no through traffic

🌅 The Experience

Camp Avalon is about slowing down. Wake to birdsong, spend your days swimming, fishing, or paddling, and gather around the fire as the stars come out. The water is clear and inviting, the views are stunning, and the atmosphere is peaceful and nostalgic — like stepping back in time.

🧭 A Legacy of Hospitality

Owned by the same family for nearly 100 years, Camp Avalon has been a place of connection, laughter, and memory-making for generations. We’re honored to share it with guests who appreciate its history and spirit.
