TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Here are a few tips to help you with some of the common problems associated with camping: Electrical If you experience the loss of power at your site be sure to check the following before reporting the problem to the office. 1. Check to be sure the electrical breakers are on in the site's electrical panel and that your power cord is securely plugged in. 2. Check to be sure the ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlet has not tripped at the site's electrical panel. There are two buttons located on the 110 power outlet, one is a test and one is a reset. 3. Check to be sure a breaker or GFCI outlet has not tripped in your camping unit. Cable TV (Channel Guide can be found on Page 43) Cable TV is available at each site. If you are unable to receive cable channels check the following: 1. Be sure your cable cord is in operating condition. There should be a wire filament located in the center of each male connector.
Water 1. Danforth Bay has excellent water pressure. We highly recommend the use of pressure reducers (available at The Depot). 2. Frost-free hydrants are located on some sites. Handles must be fully raised to obtain full water flow. 3. In the event you experience a significant reduction in water pressure, be sure to remove any pressure reducers or in-line filters to examine them for dirt or sand. Septic Hookups Septic hookups are located on many sites. Please be sure to use environmental and septic system friendly holding tank additives only. To avoid unpleasant odors or potential septic backup: 1. Be sure you have a good tight fitting seal when attaching to our septic connections.
3. Many RVs and Travel Trailers have a cable/antenna switch located inside the unit. Be sure it is in the cable position.
After following the above troubleshooting guide, if you require additional assistance, contact the office in the Depot.

2. Both ends of your cable must be securely fastened.
2. You must keep your holding tank valves closed and only open to empty your holding tanks when they indicate at least 3/4 full or just before you check out. It is illegal in the state of NH to dump gray water on the ground. Please dispose of your gray water appropriately by dumping your gray water collection tank in your sewer hookup at your site or the nearest dump station.

Firewood As of July, 2011 New Hampshire has banned the importation of untreated firewood without a commercial or home heating compliance agreement. Danforth Bay has joined forces with the Don't Move Firewood campaign with a goal of protecting the trees and forests of New England by stopping the transportation of invasive insects and diseases in firewood. One of the most important things we can do to protect trees is stop moving invasive pests and diseases to new areas on firewood. It’s really that simple- don't move firewood, and keep trees healthy and alive. Danforth Bay has heat-treated and insect-free firewood available to purchase by the bundle. If you wish to purchase larger quantities of firewood, please inquire at The Depot for a list of local suppliers who can drop firewood off directly at your site.
Pie Iron Camping Recipes The great thing about pie iron cooking (pie irons available for sale at The Depot Store) is that it's easy for the whole family to get involved! Although the learning curve is slight for basic sandwiches and pies, the complexity can be taken up a notch or two for those so inspired. Pie irons come with basic instructions and recipes; here are some creative and yummy ideas!
cheese and top with pepperoni. Cover with second slice of pizza crust. Grill 3 or 4 minutes on each side or until desired doneness is reached. English muffins, sliced bread or pita can be used in place of pizza crust. French Toast: Dip two bread slices into egg batter, place both slices into cooker, placing strawberry jam between bread slices. Toast until browned. Fried Potatoes: Place sliced potatoes in cooker, add butter, salt and pepper (to taste) and close. Grill on both sides over low heat.
Sloppy Joes: Use canned, pre-cooked sloppy joe mix or make your own with hamburger, barbecue sauce and onion. (Meat must be precooked.) Place mix between buttered bread and cook over low heat until hot and toasty. Rocky Road Treats: Spread peanut butter on two slices of bread. Add one large marshmallow and one chocolate bar square between buttered bread slices. Toast in cooker until bread is golden brown. Pizza Pie: Place slice of pizza crust in cooker cavity, add tomato puree, green peppers, slivered garlic, oregano, mozzarella

WALKING & HIKING AT DANFORTH Walks and Hikes from your Campsite Campers at Danforth Bay enjoy exploring different sections within the park on foot or by bicycle. The 185-acre Danforth Bay section and the 200+ acre Bluffs section offer miles of dirt roads among the campsites and beaches that may be enjoyed at a brisk exercise pace or as a leisurely walk with a cup of coffee. For the more adventurous, Danforth Bay Camping and RV Resort abuts the Freedom Town Forest. This 2,660-acre forest is the largest piece of undeveloped land in Freedom and connects to other conservation lands to form a contiguous 5,000 acres of forestland. Two nearby access points feature a small parking area and Kiosk with maps. Mary’s Mountain Named for a Shawtown resident of the late 1800’s who tended sheep in the meadows near the top, Mary’s mountain is a ¾ mile hike up a moderately steep trail. The hike one way can take between 20 and 30 minutes, and rewards you with 2 rocky outlooks offering sweeping views of Ossipee Lake and the surrounding mountains, as well as Danforth Bay and the campground. It is well worth the effort. The trailhead can be found in the corner of our upper RV storage lot. The activities department leads frequent trips up this trail. Check the weekly activities schedule for times. Trout Pond This pristine pond is the inspiration for the creation of the Freedom Town Forest. In fact the property is commonly referred to as the “Trout Pond” property. Arrival at the pond finds you in a stand of tall White Pines where the water winks and the trees whisper. If you time your visit right you can eat your fill of blueberries here too.
By far the most popular hiking in the region is in the Presidential Range, topped off by the famous Mount Washington. There you will find breathtaking views, and unique above-treeline hiking unlike anything else in New England. One of the most popular hikes in the region is beautiful Mt. Chocorua, via the Piper Trail. The Piper Trail is an attractive trail that offers maximum walking on open ledges to the summit of Mt. Chocorua. The trailhead is found six miles south of Conway on Rt. 16, behind the Piper Trail Cabins. The rocky summit of Mt. Chocorua is a 4.5 mile, 3 hours and 35 minute hike, which is rated moderate to difficult. Hikers gain 2,700 feet in elevation to take in the views from the summit. There are also many great nearby family hikes, like Diana’s Baths, Green Mountain and Foss Mountain. Stop by the Depot and our staff will be happy to give you directions.
Outdoor Adventure, Friendship, Opportunity Overnight camp for boys since 1932. Nestled around the pristine waters of a private lake in the Mt. Washington Valley of NH. Sessions range 2-7 weeks.
This is an easy 45 minute, 1.5 mile one way trip along wooded roads. There are several turns along the way and the pond can sometimes be a challenge to find. Check with activities for directions or come on the Shawtown Village History and Trout Pond walk offered periodically during the summer season. Hiking The White Mountains There are over 1,200 miles of hiking trails in the White Mountains, from scenic day hikes to rugged multi-day treks through dense hardwood forest and across barren peaks. 36

The Hoyt Family & Danforth Bay The Hoyt family welcomes you to Danforth Bay part of the Purity Spring Resort's family of businesses. Owned and operated by the Hoyt Family of Madison since the late 1800’s, original founder Edward E. Hoyt operated The Hoyt Natural Mineral Spring Water Company, shipping bottled “Purity Spring Water” to Boston and New York City during the late 1800’s. A decade later, Hoyt began to devote more of his time to his lodging guests. Originally named Purity Spring Farms and Cottages, guests from around New England were attracted to the over 1,000 natural acres of fields and forests which surrounded spring-fed Purity Lake. The Hoyt Family made land preservation a priority and even during the lean years around World War I when business dropped considerably, remained focused on keeping the property intact. 1932, Edward’s son, Milt, opened Camp Tohkomeupog for boys. A few years later, Milt’s sister, Ellen, opened Camp Wampineauk for girls, which operated until 1977. A rope tow was installed near Bald Ledge in 1938 and in 1944, after the inn was developed into a year-round business, Milt began offering ski camps during the school vacation weeks. Years later, in 1962, the first trails were cut for the new King Pine Ski Area. In July of 2000, the Hoyt family purchased 3 parcels of land on
property once known as Shawtown Campground. After purchasing the land, the Hoyts began the task of turning the campground into one of New Hampshire's finest family camping resorts. Construction took a full year before Danforth Bay Camping & RV Resort was ready to open for its first season on Memorial Day weekend of 2001. In 2006, The Bluffs RV Resort opened. The Bluffs is an expansion of Danforth Bay that was designed specifically as a seasonal and extended-stay RV resort for active adults over 50, offering a 10,000 sf clubhouse, tennis courts and much more. Today, the fourth and fifth generations of the Hoyt Family operate the expanded Purity Spring Resort in much the same manner as their earlier relatives did and are celebrating over 100 years in the hospitality business!
