We stopped here on the way home from a long road trip and opted for the sit down service and ordered from the menu. Alex is obsessed with sushi so we ordered the sushi appetizer. Being used to supermarket sushi We both loved the fresh plate that we ordered. He was disappointed we did not order more. He wants to have sashimi on our next visit.

Alex had teriyaki beef which was a little tough and not his favorite.

All of the meals came with fried rice which was very good.

Desert brought us creme brûlée which was delicious and fried ice cream which was soggy and not very good.

Being very close to our home we will definitely come back here but I would not recommend you make an extended trip to get here.

Campground Review – Pawtuckaway State Park Campground (Nottingham, New Hampshire)

The campground at Pawtuckaway State Park in Nottingham, New Hampshire is one of the best campgrounds in the state park system. The gateway to the park is through the town of Raymond, New Hampshire. Based around a nice sized lake there is ample opportunities for swimming, canoeing and hiking.

The campground is located on an island and peninsula so most of the sites are lake front. Within easy distance from the sites are canoe or kayak rentals and a nice swimming beach.

The sites themselves are spacious, wooded and very private.

This is a great family camping spot with all of the amenities you could want and a lot of activities available. Not a wilderness experience and it can be crowded and buggy at times but ideal for families.
