Default Significant Well Water Sulfur Odor....HELP !

We have a seasonal camp that is used from May-October. The well water has developed over the years, a sulfur odor that can be very offensive. We had installed a small carbon filter many years ago that at times solved the problem. And at times, we have poured chlorine bleach down the well to mitigate the issue. But these seem to be temporary patches.

However, we are searching for a more permanent solution. Our research has found suggested solutions of installing either a chlorine granules or liquid dispenser after the well expansion tank, with a larger in-line carbon filter.

We are still searching for a sound solution where we can still easily drain the water annually but mitigate the sulfur problems. It does seem that some sort of chlorine application does reduce the issue.

I am reaching out to the Forum members to find out how others might have addressed this type of problem, as sulfur in well water is a frequent occurrence in NH. Since it is a seasonal usage, we don't want to drain the bank account. Your suggestions or actual success stories would be very helpful.
