Really Convenient
Nothing beats sitting by the river after a long day of exploring. We visited a few places around the Lake Sunapee area and this was a really convenient home base.

Campgrounds near Acworth, New Hampshire range from primitive state parks to full-service RV destinations across southwestern New Hampshire and neighboring Vermont. Pillsbury State Park Campground, located in nearby Washington, provides primitive tent and RV sites without electric hookups or showers, but with lake access and trails connecting to the Monadnock-Sunapee Greenway. Other established campgrounds like Tree Farm Campground in Springfield, Vermont and Northstar Campground in Newport offer varying levels of amenities including water, electric, and sewer hookups for RVs while maintaining tent camping options.
Seasonal operations typically run from May through mid-October, with most campgrounds closing after Columbus Day weekend. "Pillsbury State Park is one of the more primitive and lesser known gems of the New Hampshire State Park system," noted one camper, highlighting its secluded nature and minimal facilities. Many campgrounds require reservations, especially for weekend stays during peak summer months. Cell service varies significantly throughout the region, with limited reception at more remote sites. Water access represents a common feature, with several campgrounds situated on ponds, lakes, and rivers, though visitors should be prepared for basic accommodations at state parks where pit toilets may be the only sanitation option.
The natural water features define the camping experience in this region of New Hampshire and Vermont. Campers frequently mention opportunities for paddling, fishing, and swimming as highlights. "Kayaking on May Pond and discovering little islands and coves was a highlight," reported one visitor to Pillsbury State Park. Wildlife sightings, including moose and loons, add to the appeal for nature enthusiasts. While state parks offer more rustic experiences with greater privacy between sites, private campgrounds provide additional amenities like showers, camp stores, and organized activities. Several campgrounds feature hiking trails directly accessible from the camping areas, with connections to longer regional trail systems. Sites with water views tend to book quickly, particularly at Pillsbury State Park where waterfront sites combine privacy with direct pond access.

Entire Trip
We brought the kids and they found plenty to do. Between the pool, river and recreation area, they were pretty much entertained the entire trip.

We rented a cabin and honestly it was perfect for what we needed. Spent the days exploring around Lake Sunapee and came back here to relax at night.

Gifford woods campground
Nice campground near Killington, VT. Water and dump station. Not for big rigs we have a 21 ft TT. Things were tight but doable. One of the few Vermont state campgrounds that is still open. Most close from second Monday in October until Memorial Day.

Around The Fire
First time camping in this area and we really liked it. The pool kept the kids busy and we spent the evenings around the fire.

Our Favorite Part
The Sugar River was our favorite part. We spent a good amount of time down by the water and the kids loved cooling off there.

Peaceful
Love this place. We were the only ones there during a weekday visit in October. It’s incredibly peaceful with wooded sites and the lake is just gorgeous with the fall foliage. Bonus that they deliver firewood to the campsite. My only wish and I wouldn’t knock a star off because we were literally the only ones there is I wish they didn’t lock the showers. I would have loved to have a shower but the office was closed and I wasn’t able to find anyone to unlock a shower. Just be prepared and bring your dude wipes 🤣 Other than that amazing place.

Little stop for three days as we travel!
Lots of beautiful spots to pick from but be careful some are a bit muddy. We brought our school bus down the dirt road just fine and backed right in. They also have fireplaces which was nice!

Wonderful owners. A variety of sites to choose from in a relaxing setting. No waste hookups here, but they have a dump station. $51 per night with cash.
