News You Don't Want to Miss!



Camp is Opening Soon

As May arrives, things are buzzing with activity at RDC as we prepare to open for another beautiful summer on Squam Lake! Our housekeeping and maintenance crews are hard at work turning on water and deep-cleaning cottages.

New mattresses are being delivered across the property to ensure a more comfortable stay, and docks will be going in soon. We’re also wrapping up exciting upgrades to several of our spaces, including refreshed Long House and new bathrooms in Sunny Ridge and Cliffside cottages. It’s shaping up to be a fantastic season, and we can’t wait for you to join us!

Parking for Preservation!

During the 2025 season at Camp, we will be making a concerted effort to consolidate parking away from the shoreline zone, and we need your help! Cyanobacteria have already been found in Lake Winnipesaukee, Lake Kanasatka, and White Oak Pond.

RDC is participating in NH LAKES’ “LakeSmart” program, in partnership with the Squam Lakes Association (SLA), to help preserve the water quality of Squam.

Parking close to the lake compacts soil and increases surface runoff into the lake, contributing to algae growth, greener water, and loss of water clarity. Parking near the shoreline also spoils the view of the lake along many of Camp’s walking routes. You can help by loading and unloading at your cottage and otherwise parking in the centralized parking lots farther from the shoreline. If you’re not sure where the nearest lot is located, please ask for a map when you check in at the office. Thank you in advance for helping to preserve the health and beauty of Squam!
