2 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Several RV parks operate within 25 miles of Middleton, Massachusetts, with most offering full hookup sites suitable for larger motorhomes. Beach Rose RV Park in Salisbury Beach remains open from April through mid-November with fifty-amp electric service, water, and sewer connections at each site. The RV sites at Winter Island Park in Salem accommodate big rigs but offer limited privacy. "This is not an RV park, it is a parking lot of RVs, we are so close together that we can hear the children playing in the camper next to us," noted one visitor about Beach Rose RV Park's tight spacing. Tuxbury Pond RV Campground in South Hampton provides big-rig friendly sites with water and electric hookups, though multiple reviews mention problematic navigation due to address confusion with GPS systems.
Narrow access roads and frequent potholes create challenges at some parks, particularly for longer motorhomes entering Tuxbury Pond. Many parks maintain seasonal operations, typically closing between mid-October and late April. Pull-through sites are limited throughout the region, with most parks offering back-in spots only. Dump stations are available at most facilities, though not always on-site. Cell service varies considerably between locations, with Winter Island Park providing strong coverage while Tuxbury Pond experiences poor connectivity. Advance reservations are essential during fall foliage season when occupancy rates peak. Pet policies differ between parks - most allow pets with restrictions, though some designated areas prohibit animals entirely. Several facilities offer additional amenities like camp stores, firewood sales, and shower facilities to complement their full hookup RV sites.

ScoutAmazing amenities and activities here. Staff is great. Lots of room for big rigs. Tent spots are shady while other ones are sunnier. They have rentals such as log cabins/ A-frames to rent also. Hot tubs and pools too!
TravelerGreat spot with all types of different campsites.
TravelerBeautiful place about an hour from Salem Boston and Plymouth. Be careful getting in Sharp Hill coming up and down lots of scrapes on the ground tight navigation through sites lots of beautiful trees.
LegendI’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.
LegendThis 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.
ScoutOceanfront 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.
TravelerNice and peaceful spot with a trail that leads to a brook in the woods! Beautiful fall leaves throughout property
ScoutShowers were a bit cold. Site had rubbish scattered about.
GuideHard 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.

"I enjoyed the morning deep sea fishing trips from companies across the street," notes Jean C., describing the easy access to ocean activities.

"Concord is only 30 minute drive away with two full days of revolutionary historic sites, and famous people home tours such as Louisa May Alcott," writes Ann B. about visiting while staying at Spacious Skies Minute Man.

Cell service: variable coverage: Connectivity differs significantly between locations. "Forget about cellphone signal, it was 0," reports Ana about Tuxbury Pond RV Campground, contrasting with other parks that offer reliable WiFi.
Weather considerations: consistent wind: Coastal campgrounds experience significant breezes. "Be careful of your awning as it is very windy," warns David V. about Hampton Beach State Park Campground, noting the consistent ocean breezes affecting RVs.

Address confusion: GPS issues: Navigation systems may mislead RVers to incorrect locations.

Sewer connections: check location: Hookup placement varies considerably between sites. "Sites are close together but everyone was very nice. A mix of seasonal and not," notes Erin O. about Sea Coast Camping and RV Resort, highlighting the typical site spacing in the area.
