3 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Wells State Park Campground permits dogs throughout its heavily wooded campsites, with fire rings, picnic tables, and newly renovated bathrooms. Most campsites offer good spacing between neighbors providing privacy for campers with pets. The park features hiking trails accessible directly from the campground where leashed dogs can join their owners. Mosquitoes can be particularly intense at this location, so pet owners should pack appropriate insect protection for themselves and their animals. Tent sites, RV spots, and cabin accommodations all accept pets, though specific pet policies vary by accommodation type.
The park's hiking trail system is well-marked with options varying from quick 15-minute walks to more strenuous routes with elevation gain, rocky terrain and worthwhile views—all suitable for leashed dogs. Pine Acres Family Camping Resort also welcomes pets but enforces stricter rules regarding the number of animals per site and may require additional fees. Village Green Family Campground offers pet-friendly sites in their "Safari Field" loop, though these sites have minimal tree cover and are positioned close to a road with noticeable traffic noise. Most campgrounds in the area maintain standard leash requirements and request that owners clean up after their pets. No dedicated dog beaches or off-leash areas were noted in the available campgrounds, though several properties provide access to water features where supervised pets might enjoy cooling off during summer months.

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.
ScoutWe were visiting family around Nashua and needed somewhere to park the RV nearby. Berry’s Grove ended up being a really good fit. We could come and go easily and still have a nice place to relax at the end of the day.
ScoutAfter a busy summer, we wanted somewhere we could just park the camper and slow down for a few days. Sterling Park worked out great for that. We spent one morning fishing, walked the trails later in the day and finished the evening around the fire. Nothing complicated, just a really enjoyable camping weekend.
ScoutWaking up with the lake right outside the camper never got old. We would have breakfast, sit by the water for a while and then head out to explore the area.
ScoutWe came with another family and had a blast. The kids disappeared together for half the day while the adults hung around the sites. Between fishing, the pool and the other activities, everyone found something they liked. Would definatly come back.
ScoutOur dog loved it here. We spent alot of time outside and there was enough space around the campground for him to get some exercise too.
ScoutOur kids are already asking when we can go back. They loved the pool, playground and all the space to run around. We mostly just sat back and enjoyed having a few days off.
ScoutWe brought the boat along and having access to the lake made the whole trip better. Nice to have everything right at the campground instead of having to load up and drive somewhere.
ScoutBrought our camper up for a long weekend and had plenty of room to relax. The campground store was also super handy when we realized we forgot a few things.
