Danforth Bay and The Bluffs Go Green

The Bluffs is an adult-only expansion of family-friendly Danforth Bay Camping & RV Resort in Freedom, NH. Danforth Bay Camping & RV Resort was purchased in 2000 by the Hoyt Family, owners of Purity Spring Resort.

• During the planning and construction phases, the Hoyt family worked closely with the town of Freedom and was critical in stressing the need to minimize the impact created during the entire project. For example, the Bluffs Camping Resort was built on a hillside overlooking Huckins Pond on Danforth Bay of Ossipee Lake. Instead of choosing to build the numerous sites on the water to help in promotion and to increase sales, the decision was made to keep all construction a minimal 500 feet away from the water.
  
  
• Over 300 sites were approved for The Bluffs by the state of NH.
  The company chose to build approximately 225 until the demand was needed.
  
  
• To build and rebuild roads and campsites, much of the material that was excavated during construction was crushed and "recycled and processed" on-site to use on the roads at The Bluffs and at Danforth. Over 50,000 yards of gravel was processed and stockpiled for future use. An old gravel pit used by the state decades ago was also reclaimed and used during construction.
  
  
• At The Bluffs and Danforth Bay, there are a combined 5 swimming pools. They are all heated with energy efficient systems and pumps.
  
  
• Four of the five pools are "saltwater" pools. These pools use 90% less chemicals than ordinary pools. It is also more comfortable for guests as the saline quantity is comparable to a tear drop.
  
  
• The Bluffs and Danforth Bay spend $10,000 annually in working with the community to extract milfoil, an invasive weed species, as part of their maintenance program. 
  

“Preserving the land for the future enjoyment of our children… it is just the right thing to do.”
