    Several RV parks near Ipswich provide options for full-hookup sites throughout the spring, summer, and fall seasons. Beach Rose RV Park in Salisbury Beach operates from April to mid-November with 50-amp electric, water, and sewer connections for motorhomes. "We really liked this park! It was clean, very well cared for, super nice people and a decent price for camping in coastal New England," according to one reviewer. Tuxbury Pond RV Campground in South Hampton offers electric, sewer, and water hookups with big-rig friendly sites from late April through mid-October. Sea Coast Camping and RV Resort in North Hampton provides 50-amp service on gravel sites from May to October, though the roads are described as narrow, sometimes requiring drivers to maneuver over grass when backing into sites.

    Full-hookup RV sites typically range from $40-70 per night, with higher rates during summer and weekend periods. Most campgrounds require advance reservations, particularly for holiday weekends and fall foliage season. Dump stations are available at most parks, though not all offer on-site propane filling. Cell service varies significantly between locations, with stronger signals at coastal campgrounds than those situated inland among trees. Winter Island Park in Salem accommodates RVs but lacks on-site dump facilities, requiring campers to make alternative arrangements. Several campgrounds have limited Wi-Fi coverage, especially in back sections. One camper noted of Seacoast RV Resort: "The park does not have cable and we were not able to get reception on our satellite because of the trees."

      Winter Island Park

      Basically a parking lot but with great views!

      I’m not going to lie this was a little tricky for big rigs to get to, but with lots of patience and skillful driving, it is doable. Salem is an old New England town so there are many narrow streets and some low clearances. Follow the directions on the parks website as they are designed for RVs– don’t use Google Maps unless you are a small camper. Even getting into the park is kind of challenging because of the way the entrance is laid out with the entrance booth and some low hanging trees. This campground is in a municipal park with a marina, beach, a short walking trail, and picnic areas. The campground has different sections and totally different feels to them. We arrived on a weekend and section we were in the section which is in the parking lot of a busy marina. The parking lot was half full which made for navigating our 45’ bus into our site pretty hard. 

      No sites have fire pits but you can have a fire if you bring your own above ground pit. Tent sites have picnic tables but nothing else. Some sites you can drive to and have a car onsite and others are non-vehicle access sites (11, 17, 18, 25, 26, 27& 38) in which you have to park in a parking lot. Some RV sites have great water views and others are in a back gravel lot. In my opinion, the best RV sites are 12-16(A-D) because they have a water view. Sites 16B-D are a little tricky for big-rigs to get into because of the tight space. Our site (#13) had a slight downhill slope. We pulled in forward so we could have a view of the harbor which meant the utilities (water electric only) were in the front of our site but we were able to reach without an extension cord. We loved watching the action in the harbor. There is a gazebo by the water which we enjoyed siting under and watching boats go in and out of the harbor while it rained. 

      There is a nice sandy beach onsite which attracts a lot of day use vistors. The grounds are interesting to walk around as the water views are nice and there is an old fort to explore. Nearby town of Salem Willows is(about½ mile away) is a cute old seaside town with restaurants and arcades. They have a Bluebike rental station which is an easy way to get downtown and explore the area if you don’t have a car.

      Sea-Vu West Premier RV Resort

      Pleasantly surprised.

      This campground is mostly seasonal, privately owned park models, but has 45 spaces for RV’s. I was a little skeptical about staying at this campground with so many park models and seasonals but was pleasantly surprised at how nice, clean, and tidy all the sites were. They obviously take pride in how things look because the grounds and campsites were very well-kept. 

      All campsites are 50/30-amp full hook-up with level gravel pads with grassy patios, a picnic table, and fire pit. We stayed in site#702 which was long enough for our 45’ motorhome and tow car. All the utilities were easy to reach and the electric worked well. The only problem was that we were parked under a large oak tree that was profusely shedding large acorns. There are some sites that are in the open which I would definitely choose, if I came back in the fall. The campground is gated which is a nice feature. It is located a mile or so off Route 1 which means you don’t get the road noise and traffic, but still conveniently located near shops and restaurants. 

      One nice feature are the shaded walking trails in the park. While they are not super long, it is a nice change from walking the roads (which are paved). Other amenities include a decent size swimming pool (closed while we were there), a basketball court, playground, laundry, and camp store.  I thought it was a little expensive at $75/night (for full hook-up) at the end of the season, especially since the pool was closed.

      Sun Outdoors Wells Beach

      Tight sites and expensive, busy area along the Maine coast

      We stopped here in the summer to check out the coastal towns in southern Maine. There are many campgrounds in the area and we chose this one because they had a 25% off coupon (on a 7-night stay) which gave us the best nightly price in the area. However, the nightly rate was still$74/night, one reason being they charge a “resort fee” of$15/day which is ridiculous. This is a typical resort-style campground with lots of amenities (most of which we never use). But, for some people, this is a destination campground because of all the amenities- a large heated swimming pool, basketball courts, sand volleyball, bocce, fitness center, two playgrounds, 18-hole minigolf (that you pay extra for), and more. 

      The campsites in the front of the park are sandwiched between the swimming pool and Route 1 which is very busy and noisy. Campsites in the far back portion of the campground are shaded and a much quieter section. Camping pads and patios are a mix of gravel and sand. Many sites have shade and some have an astroturf patio (I think those are “premium” sites). Our campsite was in the middle section which was fairly quiet but the sites are close together with no privacy. The site was a long and level pull thru with a gravel pad and gravel/sand patio. All sites have a picnic table and fire pit. 

      There is a tent-only section and they have renal cabins. There is lots to do for families in the area including the beach and amusement and water parks. Restaurants of all sorts are nearby. You can easily walk to Congdon’s Donuts which is a Maine classic.

      Seacoast Camping and RV Resort

      Nice Campground, Love the area!

      This is a nice, clean, well-maintained campground for RV and tenting. The campground is located on Route 1 which means you are convenient to a lot of things but there is lots of traffic. Half the campground is seasonal/long term campers and the other side is mostly transients. The roads and campsites are fine crushed gravel with nice grassy patios. The campground is very well maintained (the best part being that the mower collects they cut the grass so no clippings get tracked in your camper). There are some mature trees that provide shade but don’t impede navigating in and out of sites or impacting slide outs. 

      Campsites range from tent with water/electric to RV water/electric and RV full hook-up 50-amp and full hook-up 30-amp. There are three bathhouses on the property (one of which has a dishwashing sink) and laundry. Tent sites 50-55 are in an are set away from RV sites and more private. They are also close to a large bathhouse with multiple toilets and showers. Tent sites 90-100 are across from a large playground which can be quite chaotic, but if you have kids, this is a great spot. 

      Our site (#147) was a long pull-thru with a descent amount of space between our neighbors. We got about half a dozen over-the-air channels (one being a major network station) and were able to connect with eastern arc satellites with our Dish Satellite. The 50A electric was good as was the water pressure. 

      The campground does not have much in the way of amenities except for a game room, basketball court, and playground. The game room is pretty cool with lots of arcade-style games, a pool table, foosball, and table tennis. While we were there, they just finished putting in all new playground equipment and enlarged the size making it really big and a hit with the kids in the park. Once convenience is that maintenance picks up garbage at your site (between 8am– 3pm). Unfortunately, people leave them out after hours and animals got into them and scattered garbage everywhere.  We've stayed here before and always enjoy being in the area as it is close to the fun cities of Portsmouth and Newburyport.

      Hampton Beach State Park Campground

      Oceanfront camping at its best—full hookups just steps from the beach. Located in popular Hampton Beach, you'll be close to nightly bandshell concerts and vibrant nightlife. There is a lottery system in place for stays during the summer.

      Winter Island Park

      Cool location!

      Hard to beat being right on the water with a lighthouse!  But it's kind of a kooky campground.

      Pros:

      - Gorgeous views.

      - Cute little trails.

      - Super friendly staff.

      - The bathrooms were always being cleaned (which is nice), but the bathrooms are dilapidated, so it's kind of like putting lipstick on a pig.

      Cons:
      - It's just an odd arrangement of sites.  The RV area is a parking lot.  Some tent sites don't allow cars on them.  Our site #37 was cool, but right by the busy entrance.

      - As we stayed in October, the entire area is Halloween central.  There were tour trolleys coming in all day, and since we were near the entrance we felt like animals in a zoo.

      - As mentioned previously - the bathrooms could use a serious upgrade.

      Spacious Skies Minute Man

      Probably great, if you're looking to enterain kids.

      Let me just preface this review by saying when I go camping, I like to be immersed in nature– ideally with a toilet and shower nearby. These are my only desires. This is not that kind of campsite. But just because it isn’t for me, that doesn’t mean it won’t be for you. 

      Pros:

      - Easy to book and accommodating staff.

      - Restrooms/showers were clean(though the air fresheners are not migraine sufferer-friendly).

      - Nice, tall trees. 

      Cons:

      - My only real con is the general vibe. Again, it’s just not for me. It has lots of activities for kids (an arcade, park, pool, etc.), so if that’s what you’re looking for, great!  It just wasn’t what I personally was looking for.  But with limited camping options in the area, it was our only real choice.

    Guide to Ipswich

    Campgrounds around Ipswich, Massachusetts operate from early spring through late fall, with most closing by mid-November. The area's coastal location typically sees summer temperatures ranging 70-85°F during peak camping season, with higher humidity than inland areas. Cell service varies widely, with coastal campgrounds generally offering stronger connectivity than inland locations set among trees.

    What to do

    Beach access: 5 miles to Hampton Beach from Sea Coast Camping and RV Resort: "About 5 miles to the east is Hampton Beach and a little farther is the town of Rye which are worth the drive. There we discovered Ray's Seafood and Petey's Summertime Seafood where you can get a great meal right next to the water."

    Golf courses: on-site at Hidden Valley RV and Golf Park: "The main attraction of this campground is the golf course of 9 or 18 holes. There is a pro shop, golf cart rentals, etc." The campground spans 1300 acres with a mix of camping and recreational facilities.

    Deep sea fishing: walking distance from Hampton Beach State Park: "I enjoyed the morning deep sea fishing trips from companies across the street." Hampton Beach State Park provides "easy walk to restaurants" and sits directly on the water with a jetty for fishing.

    What campers like

    Coastal access: 1-mile bike ride from Beach Rose RV Park: "We rode bikes to Salisbury Beach and my young adult son rode his longboard to the beach." Another camper notes it's "about a mile from the beach" and "kid friendly."

    Spacious sites: well-separated at Sea-Vu West Premier RV Resort: "The close location to dining, motorcycle rides, wide/grassy sites and quietness all contribute to a very good stay." Campers appreciate that "if you want shade, not much but you have plenty of space to just sit on your other side of your RV and use that for shade."

    Clean facilities: well-maintained bathrooms and grounds at multiple campgrounds. At Tuxbury Pond RV Campground, a camper mentioned "Friendly staff, clean bathrooms, clean grounds, gated campground with card key access in/out of the grounds, 2 pools (closed for the season during our stay), pavilion, activities/entertainment."

    What you should know

    GPS navigation issues: Some campgrounds have misleading directions. At Tuxbury Pond, "if you're using Apple Maps, it will likely take you to a turn that is not the campground entrance, there's even a hand-written sign on someone's lawn that has directions to the entrance (seems to happen frequently, I guess)."

    Seasonal camper presence: Many rv campgrounds near Ipswich feature a mix of transient and long-term guests. At Hampton Beach State Park Campground, "it's crowded with day users" and "extremely crowded in high season, empty in off season."

    Site selection matters: Campgrounds often have varied site quality. "Our site was in a field that was near the bathrooms. We were on S1, near a septic pipe & there was a severely nauseating, strong smell of sewage coming from it." Requesting site changes is sometimes possible as "they were completely fine with it & apologized."

    Tips for camping with families

    Pool access: seasonal only at most campgrounds. Tuxbury Pond has "2 pools (closed for the season during our stay)" while Moody Beach RV Campground offers "a swimming pool, a basketball court and a small playground" but notes "pool closed for season" during fall visits.

    Playground options: Multiple campgrounds feature play areas. At Sea-Vu West, "If you have children, there's a nice play area with really nice playground equipment" while Moody Beach has activities for different age groups: "We took our family of 5, and my mom for a weekend getaway! It was perfect. So much to do."

    Evening entertainment: Some campgrounds provide scheduled activities. "There was a gentleman that started setting up for a comedy show that they would be doing that night. A staff member came to our site and let us know that there is an 18+ comedy show but there was a children's movie being played on a big screen on the other side of the campground."

    Tips from RVers

    Site layout considerations: At Hampton Beach State Park, "Sites 1-15 line the Hampton River and are back-in; sites 16+ are inside and pull-throughs. Neither one is far from the water!" While at Sea Coast, "Pull through sites, while close were arranged in such a way so that you are not next to the sewer hookup of your neighbor. A big plus for me."

    Off-season advantages: Less crowded camping experiences happen outside summer months. "We were there in the off-season (May) and didn't have any neighbors so it was pretty quiet." Another camper noted "Extremely crowded in high season, empty in off season."

    Wi-Fi reliability: Internet connectivity varies between Ipswich area campgrounds. Moody Beach has "WiFi is awful away from the registration office" while Sea Coast features "wifi worked perfectly for streaming tv despite the campground being fully booked for Memorial Day weekend."
