Not from NH but I went with my sister and her kids a couple years ago to that area & stayed overnight. We didn't go to Santa's Village but we were in that same area. I was actually thinking of taking DS there over the summer for the day. We live about 2 & 1/2 hours away, maybe a little less. My SIL lives about an hour away so we could always stay with her if we needed too. Anyway....
We stayed at the North Conway Grand Hotel in North Conway. It backs right up to the outlet shops there. The rooms were nice & at the time they had a movie every night for kids. There was also a hotel nearby that had an indoor water park. Its called Red Jacket Mountain View Resort. It looked like fun from the pictures online. Not a campground but if you're interested they might be worth looking into. You can find a lot of nice campgrounds in NH especially in that area. There are several campgrounds along the Kancamagus Highway. Even if you don't stay there its worth the car ride. The scenery is beautiful!
