Family owned and operated for over forty years, Chocorua Camping Village KOA has grown and developed naturally with the times. We provide camp-wide WiFi, dance parties, movie nights, and learn-to-paint workshops, and yet, at the heart of our Holiday Park are the acres of explorable wilderness, the serene motor-free Moores Pond, and the ease of a people’s-choice vacation destination.

The early 1970’s brought a young Spencer clan to the Tamworth area. Lee and Shirley Spencer had heard through family rumors that the land and lodges of Wabanaki were up for sale. Having spent memorable summers at the pond side cabins, the Spencers purchased the lodges and undeveloped property from Lee’s Uncle Ed Hayes in 1973. With a 1969 CASE tractor, Lee started the gradual and continual process of road and site construction, keeping the natural environment intact as much as possible. A series of bridges were built to access the community of Wabanaki Lodge. Chocorua Camping Village opened up to the public with 10 sites and a comfort station (bathroom facility) in 1975. While Lee designed and constructed the Rec Hall and Camp Store, Shirley, a 6th grade teacher, spent her summer breaks working the office, maintaining the cabins, and creating the business infrastructure of Wabanaki Lakeside Vacation Corporation. Together, with family and staff they have created over 40 years of family vacation adventures and memories.
