    Scenic View Campground

    Great experience!

    For a smaller campground it was everything we wanted; it was quiet; and the sites were a good size for our pop up; we stayed at site 20; which was the biggest along the waterfront. There is a nice walking trail and peaceful water view sites. The staff was super friendly and made our stay very enjoyable! Sites of all sizes from tent sites to large pull through sites for the big rigs! We will deff be back! Smaller camp store but there is a hardware/general store right down the road. Close to ATV trails. Ports potties were exceptionally clean. Propane is also sold on site. Pet friendly with appropriate documentation. I look forward to our next trip!

    Turtle Kraal RV Park

    5 star RV campground - all the amenities and well cared for!

    Turtle Kraal RV campground is a gated RV campground just outside Alton Bay NH.  Lots of great restaurants, ice cream shops and water activities are nearby!  

    The sign was easy to spot, right off the road, GPS leading us right to the entrance.  There is a long approach after you see the sign, and even a sharp turn before you see the gate.  We met the man at the gate (with his incredibly enormous husky) and provided us all the information we needed.  This campground has wifi, good cell signal (AT&T and Verizon), a great pool, is pet friendly and well maintained.  The bathhouse and pool were both very clean, and for as many RV's that were there - that was amazing!  Each site has a firepit and a picnic table - though many sites have additions and build for an extended stay!  

    This campground is huge - there is a lower loop and an upper loop with the bathhouse and pool right in the center.  Kids can ride their bikes around both loops, walk the dogs, play cornhole or horseshoes, etc.  Trash is well maintained, with enough dumpsters for the amount of campers they could hold at capacity.  They also have firewood for sale on your way in, so you don't have to chase a campground host or a little golf cart - you can buy what you need on your way back.  This is a very family friendly campground about an hour and a half north of Boston and about the same from the Whites.  A great base-camp for amazing days on Lake Winnipesauke!!

    Thousand Trails Moody Beach

    Great location friendly staff

    We came in in October, the foliage is beautiful on the “wooded” sites. There are new sites with gravel and no trees as well, we had our choice. The wooded sites are pull through and back in, depending on the row. There are cabins and rentals as well. Fire pits and charcoals grills at all wooded sites. Family friendly facility with a playground. Lounge closed for Covid, pool closed for season. Events and activities are run by management. Great location for beach and stores.

    Wassamki Spring Camping Area

    Lots of seasonal sites

    We chose this campground because it was close to Portland– a city where we love hanging out at great breweries, shopping, and eating at some of the country’s best restaurants. The close proximity to Portland is one of the pluses of this campground. But, it turned out we weren’t crazy about this campground and probably would not be back. 

    Campsites for transients and big-rig sites are in the front portion of the park; whereas, the seasonals are along the spring/pond in the back section. There are tons of site types to choose from depending on your amperage, sewer, and cable needs. Our site was a back-in full hook-up, 50-amp site that was o.k. It was level and long enough to fit our 45’ RV. The pad was gravel and the patio was grass with a firepit and picnic table. The utilities were in the far back of the site so make sure you have long enough hoses. Since we hung over the back of our site and our wet and electric bays are towards the back of our RV, we were able to reach the utilities without extensions. 

    As the name implies, there is a spring on the property which is fairly large and open to paddling (no motorized boats) and swimming. There are lots of rules about where you can swim (i.e., only within 75 feet of the shore, no swimming to island, no dogs, no diving offshore, etc.). You can fish in the pond (catch and release only). Visitor fees seemed quite high at $8/day use and $15/overnight but I’m sure it helps keep the number of people down. 

    Amenities include volleyball/basketball/pickle ball, a swim beach, playground, recreation hall, snack bar, horseshoes, a community bonfire area, and dog run. There is no charge to borrow sporting equipment which is nice (volleyballs, basketballs, etc). The store sells camping supplies, ice, groceries, ice cream, and t-shirts. There is a pretty active events calendar (of which we did not participate) with games (cards, bingo, etc.), themed weekends, and entertainment. 

    Overall, the campground has an old, run-down appearance and a dusty dirty feel to it. The seasonal sites are pretty junky with lots of stuff spread out around each camper. I was really glad we were in a transient site away from the seasonals because it was a little quieter as a lot of the seasonals were outside playing loud music and got a little rowdy. We love the Portland area and will return but not to this campground– there are plenty more in the area a little farther away from downtown.

    Hancock Campground

    Year-round campground with riverfront tent sites & standard sites

    I haven't stayed here, but I checked it out on Columbus Day weekend because it's one of the few campgrounds open year-round (plowed, unlike Lafayette Place, which is walk-in) in the White Mountains. Most of the reviews talk about the walk-in tent sites, but there's more to this campground that is located along the Kancamagus Highway just before the Lincoln Woods Visitors' Center.

    If you're a tent camper and don't mind carrying your gear downhill to a site, drive straight ahead to a parking lot. A few of the sites (3 & 4) are accessible from the far end of the parking lot, but for most of them you'll head down the steps in the middle with sites in two levels branching out on each side. Sites are large, but close together and although you're in the woods, there's not much to separate you from your neighbors. Even sites 10-20 are directly on the water.

    Sites 22-55 are suitable for RVs and tents. Those on the back side of the loop are close enough that you can hear the Pemi River running below. A few of the sites are pull-through. There are no hook-ups, but water available via spigots and flush toilets are available - except in winter. I'd recommend sites on the back side of the loop to provide some more distance from traffic noise. I chatted briefly with a host who remarked that sites on the western end of the loop have some cell phone coverage, unlike the rest of the campground.

    If you stay here, you're only a few miles from Lincoln where you can pick up any necessary supplies. This end of the Kanc your nearest hiking options are Lincoln Woods and Greeley Pond for family friendly trails, or Lincoln Woods to head into the Pemi wilderness, including peaks in the Pemi loop and Owl's Head. The Hancocks are via a trail at the hairpin on the Kanc. Franconia Notch and its many hiking trails and the multi-use trail are a short drive away.

    Bring cash or a check to pay your camping fee in the iron ranger. Fees cover the first vehicle; a second vehicle is an additional $5.

    Bayley's Camping Resort

    RV Resort

    We have stayed at Bayley's a lot over the years and have watched it grow into an RV Resort. 

    If you're looking for all the bells and whistles, full amenities and location to town this is it. I saw a few other reviews noting the noise levels, I think this comes with the territory of staying at an RV Resort. It is family friendly, kids ride their bikes around the campground and you can hear your neighbors. 

    Depending on your site location you may get more privacy than if you stay in the big rig sites. The wooded sites tend to be more private and less loud. Staying by any of the pools will be louder. The adults only area can get loud in the summer with music during the day. 

    We stay on the event weekends, rent a golf cart and sit in the hot tubs for the duration of our stay and it couldn't be better.

    Chocorua KOA

    Small, quiet family campground

    The Chocorua KOA is a great campground with super friendly staff, a variety of sites and lots of activities and things to do for everyone in the family.

    We stayed with two other families on pull-through full hook-up sites 43, 45, and 47. Although we were on the main road, we really enjoyed these sites. They were wooded and in a central location close to the playgrounds, pavilion, beach and nature trails. Site 45 was pretty narrow but the other two sites had a bit more space so we mostly used 43 and 47 to hang out. We especially loved that the pull-through road behind our sites was not a main access road so we had a nice long stretch of road that was just for us. We played games and the kids road bikes without having to worry about cars driving through.

    There are also a lot of really nice tent sites along the water, cabins, teepees, lodges and great areas for groups to camp. They are fairly strict with quiet hours so it is a very quiet campground at night.

    The facilities are nice and clean. The pavilion and fire pit area are a nice place to gather with games and a mining station to enjoy. There are two playgrounds for little and big kids. The bathrooms are quite dated but clean. The pool is freezing cold so the kids didn’t swim much. The beach area is small and not deep enough to swim but the kids enjoyed playing in the sand and water. There are a lot of options for boat rentals- paddle boats, kayaks, canoes, paddle boards, and row boats. There is a beautiful board walk that leads through the marsh to a system of short nature trails. We really enjoyed walking the trails though some need a lot of work due to fallen trees and overgrowth. There were also a lot of free activities for the kids like crafts, wagon rides and games with a full schedule of events. You really never have to leave this campground!

    This is also an incredibly dog-friendly campground with a fun dog park, a special swimming pond just for dogs and doggie day care available. This is one of the most pet loving campgrounds we’ve ever camped in and our pup loved it!!

    We had a great trip and will definitely be back!

    Hemlock Grove Campground

    Very comfortable campsites

    We had a fifth wheel and they had 50amp hook up with water and sewer. It’s very shady and there’s a laundry but only cold water. The mosquitoes were pesky so bring repellent. There is a good food truck right here and a little camp store. Convenient to Kennebunkport and restaurants. Maine Diner was fantastic! WiFi worked great, cable tv also. No pool but the beach is nearby.

    Newfound RV Park

    Nice place to explore the lakes region

    We enjoyed our stay at Newfound RV Park thanks to their laundry facilities, rec room, and quirky owner. It was a great place to explore Newfound lake from, as well as the Mill Fudge Factory. Our site was full hookup and a pull through site. We used a Passport America discount here.


Guide to Alton

RV camping near Alton, New Hampshire offers access to Lake Winnipesaukee, New Hampshire's largest lake covering 44,586 acres with 288 miles of shoreline. The region sits at approximately 504 feet above sea level, with most RV sites open seasonally from May through October due to harsh New England winters. Camping facilities range from basic water and electric hookups to full-service RV sites with 50-amp connections.

What to do

Kayaking at Scarborough Marsh: Only 1.3 miles from the Eastern Trail, a multi-use gravel path perfect for walking, biking, or running. "Within a mile of the Audubon center office, where you can either put in your own kayak/canoe or rent one," notes reviewer Heather C. The marsh offers excellent wildlife viewing opportunities.

Visit Old Orchard Beach: Located about 4 miles from Saco/Old Orchard Beach KOA, this popular beach area features traditional carnival attractions. "It is a throw-back from your childhood when carnival rides and funnel cakes made you so happy. The town smells like fried food and pizza and shopping consists of t-shirts and beach chairs," shares Rachel P.

Explore Portland: Several campgrounds provide convenient access to Portland, Maine. "We were within 20 minutes of Portland and 10 minutes to Old Orchard Beach," writes Rachel P. about her stay. The city offers excellent dining options, with one camper recommending: "We loved our lunch at the Run of the Mill Public House and Brewery which has a varied food menu with creative selections and good beer."

What campers like

Clean facilities: Many campers highlight well-maintained amenities as a top feature. At Silver Lake Park Campground, one visitor noted it was "an incredibly well maintained campground off Jamestown Road in Belmont NH. Brent and Dee Phillips have owned this campground for 3 seasons - and their love for this place shows!"

Heated pools: Swimming amenities receive frequent positive mentions. At Cole's Mine RV Resort and Campground, a visitor explains: "This place is well payed out and very well taken care of. The pool is heated and has an amazing water slide and themed."

Natural surroundings: Many campers appreciate quiet, wooded settings. One camper described their experience: "We lucked out with our cabin and the cul-de-sac it was in. It overlooked the woods and was a bit more secluded than many of the other sites. KK15, K3, K2 and K1 are great options as well, located along the wooded edges of the grounds."

What you should know

Site spacing varies significantly: Many RV parks have tightly packed sites. At Moody Beach RV Campground, campers note: "The 30 amp sites are very close together. The campground layout is quite unusual, with campers parked lengthwise along the road. This means that you share the space where you sit outside with the camper behind you, resulting in very little privacy."

Seasonal considerations: Most RV sites near Alton, New Hampshire operate on limited schedules. Wild Acres RV Resort runs from "Apr 30 - Oct 13," while Moody Beach RV Campground operates from "April 14 to October 15." Plan your visit accordingly.

Insect preparation: Mosquitoes can be problematic, especially near marshlands. As one visitor warned: "The only negative of this place was the mosquitoes. They were TERRIBLE. In the time it took after we parked the camper, to when I could dig the bug spray out of our truck I was covered in bites."

Tips for camping with families

Choose campgrounds with dedicated play areas: Family-friendly facilities often feature multiple recreation options. Cole's Mine RV Resort receives high marks with one visitor noting: "This place is perfect for small families or parents of younger kids. 2 amazing playgrounds, clean facilities and one amazing pool."

Consider trolley service: Some campgrounds offer transportation to nearby beaches. "There is a shuttle that takes you to the beach which is convenient. During the shoulder season dogs are allowed on the beach but not the summer," shares one camper about their experience at Saco/Old Orchard Beach KOA.

Look for organized activities: Many RV parks schedule family-friendly events. One visitor at Sandy Beach Campground shared: "We enjoyed our stay. The first site we got was way too small for our tent and they accommodated us and gave us a choice of two others to pick from... Playground is on the beach. They don't allow sparklers so that was a bummer on the 4th, but still got to see fireworks."

Tips from RVers

Check GPS directions carefully: Navigation systems sometimes direct campers incorrectly. One RVer warned: "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."

Consider site location for privacy: Look for sites along campground edges. According to a camper at Wild Duck Adult Campground, "The sites that face the marsh are the best sites - they have some grass and lovely views." This allows more space and natural screening from neighbors.

Ask about pet policies: Rules vary by campground. While most RV sites near Alton, New Hampshire allow pets, Silver Lake Park Campground reviewer noted: "This is a very clean, quiet, gated campground, with easy beach access for the kids. Pets are asked to stay home."
