What to do
Beach access near Hampton: Campers staying at Seacoast Camping and RV Resort can reach coastal attractions within minutes. "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," notes one visitor.
Golf on-site: Several campgrounds offer golf activities for campers. Hidden Valley RV and Golf Park features a complete course. "The main attraction of this campground is the golf course of 9 or 18 holes. There is a pro shop, golf cart rentals, etc," reports a camper who appreciated the combination of outdoor activities.
Pond recreation: Many parks feature water access for non-ocean activities. Tuxbury Pond RV Campground offers multiple water options. "Pros: 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, fairly quiet during quiet hours, laundromat, playground, dog park, boating pond," according to one camper's detailed assessment.
What campers like
Clean facilities: Visitors consistently mention bathroom and shower cleanliness as important factors. "Beautiful campground, clean facilities, decently priced. The pool, playground, bathrooms, and basketball court were all open and well maintained. We really enjoyed our stay!" notes a camper at Tuxbury Pond.
Seasonal entertainment: Beach Rose RV Park receives praise for its location and amenities. "Great campground, though spaces are small, place is clean, nice pool and staff is very friendly, helpful and responsive! It's only about a mile from the beach. We rode bikes to Salisbury Beach and my young adult son rode his longboard to the beach," one reviewer explains.
Spacious wooded sites: Thousand Trails Gateway to Cape Cod offers natural surroundings with good separation. "Heavily treed and shaded campground, extremely large to walk from front to back. Had good kids crafts. Loved the easy access to Cape Cod, Plymouth, and Boston," reports a camper who appreciated the location and amenities.
What you should know
Seasonal operation: Most RV campgrounds near Weston operate from April through October. Gateway to Cape Cod specifically runs "April 14 to October 15," while Seacoast Camping operates "May 15 - Oct 1," showing the narrower window for coastal locations.
Cell service challenges: Connectivity varies significantly by location. "Cell reception was not good, neither with AT&T nor Verizon. They have Wifi at the park which I haven't tried. I believe - although I'm not sure that you have to pay for it," reports a camper at Gateway to Cape Cod.
GPS confusion: Some campgrounds have navigation challenges. At Douglas Forest RV Resort, arrival issues are noted: "A little tip about GPS: 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)."
Tips for camping with families
Playground access: When traveling with children, look for campgrounds with dedicated play areas. "We really liked this park! It was clean, very well cared for, supper nice people and a decent price ($43/night) for camping in coastal New England. The park recently added new 50 amp full hook-up sites (some of which are pull-thrus) so there are plenty of options for big-rigs," notes a visitor to Seacoast Camping who appreciated the family-friendly atmosphere.
Entertainment options: Some parks offer structured activities for different ages. Douglas Forest features varied recreation: "From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by how peaceful and well-maintained everything was. The RV sites are spacious and easy to navigate, with full hookups and strong Wi-Fi— a big plus for us since we work remotely on the road."
Swimming facilities: Woodmore Family Campground receives high marks for water recreation. "It's great, although I was leery because of the rules they are not strict at all, you have to follow the rules but everybody does and it's a good experience, everyone is very friendly the owners are wonderful people and super friendly very helpful it's clean they offer a lot of stuff to do right on a lake in the bottom of the beautiful mountain."
Tips from RVers
Site selection challenges: At many campgrounds, site quality varies significantly. "Pros: super nice staff at the campground and on reservation phone lines. Cons: pond unusable, loud, dusty, golf cart speedway for seasonal campers, smelly (sewer)," explains one RV camper at Tuxbury Pond who experienced challenges.
Utility connections: Understanding hookup locations helps with parking. "The water and electric were between our site and the next on one side and sewer between our site and the one on the other side. This made it difficult to place our trailer on the slanted site and reach all services," notes a visitor to Hidden Valley RV and Golf Park.
Road conditions: Interior roads at many campgrounds present navigation challenges. "Nice wooded campground with large sites. Camp store closed early than most campgrounds for being in the peak season. Roads are in bad shape, especially the entrance. Overall though, a good campground," reports a camper at Gateway to Cape Cod.
