Several RV parks operate in the Auburn area of New Hampshire, providing options for seasonal and short-term stays. Pine Acres Resort in Raymond has full hookup sites with 50-amp electric service and water connections, open from mid-April through October. Sandy Beach Campground in Contoocook accommodates large rigs with sewer, water, and electric hookups across multiple site types. A visitor commented, "We had a nice corner site which fit our 34' rig just fine," though they noted the swimming area was somewhat weedy. Hidden Valley RV and Golf Park in Derry features spacious sites with 50-amp service and sewer connections, particularly appealing to fifth wheels and larger motorhomes.
Fall bookings typically require advance reservations as most facilities close by mid-October. Navigation to certain properties may present challenges, with multiple reviewers noting GPS inaccuracies when locating campgrounds. One camper wrote, "If you're using Apple Maps, it will likely take you to a turn that is not the campground entrance." Most parks offer sanitary dump stations and trash service, though amenities vary significantly between properties. Pet policies differ between facilities—Hidden Valley RV Park does not permit pets, while most others welcome them with standard restrictions. Cell service varies throughout the region, with several campgrounds reporting weak or non-existent signal coverage, particularly at Tuxbury Pond RV Campground where a review mentioned "zero cell signal."

Beautiful 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.

Basically a parking lot but with great views!
I’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.

Sea-Vu West Premier RV Resort
Pleasantly surprised.
This campground is mostly seasonal, privately owned park models, but has 45 spaces for RV’s. I was a little skeptical about staying at this campground with so many park models and seasonals but was pleasantly surprised at how nice, clean, and tidy all the sites were. They obviously take pride in how things look because the grounds and campsites were very well-kept.
All campsites are 50/30-amp full hook-up with level gravel pads with grassy patios, a picnic table, and fire pit. We stayed in site#702 which was long enough for our 45’ motorhome and tow car. All the utilities were easy to reach and the electric worked well. The only problem was that we were parked under a large oak tree that was profusely shedding large acorns. There are some sites that are in the open which I would definitely choose, if I came back in the fall. The campground is gated which is a nice feature. It is located a mile or so off Route 1 which means you don’t get the road noise and traffic, but still conveniently located near shops and restaurants.
One nice feature are the shaded walking trails in the park. While they are not super long, it is a nice change from walking the roads (which are paved). Other amenities include a decent size swimming pool (closed while we were there), a basketball court, playground, laundry, and camp store. I thought it was a little expensive at $75/night (for full hook-up) at the end of the season, especially since the pool was closed.

Sun Outdoors Wells Beach
Tight sites and expensive, busy area along the Maine coast
We stopped here in the summer to check out the coastal towns in southern Maine. There are many campgrounds in the area and we chose this one because they had a 25% off coupon (on a 7-night stay) which gave us the best nightly price in the area. However, the nightly rate was still$74/night, one reason being they charge a “resort fee” of$15/day which is ridiculous. This is a typical resort-style campground with lots of amenities (most of which we never use). But, for some people, this is a destination campground because of all the amenities- a large heated swimming pool, basketball courts, sand volleyball, bocce, fitness center, two playgrounds, 18-hole minigolf (that you pay extra for), and more.
The campsites in the front of the park are sandwiched between the swimming pool and Route 1 which is very busy and noisy. Campsites in the far back portion of the campground are shaded and a much quieter section. Camping pads and patios are a mix of gravel and sand. Many sites have shade and some have an astroturf patio (I think those are “premium” sites). Our campsite was in the middle section which was fairly quiet but the sites are close together with no privacy. The site was a long and level pull thru with a gravel pad and gravel/sand patio. All sites have a picnic table and fire pit.
There is a tent-only section and they have renal cabins. There is lots to do for families in the area including the beach and amusement and water parks. Restaurants of all sorts are nearby. You can easily walk to Congdon’s Donuts which is a Maine classic.

Seacoast Camping and RV Resort
Nice Campground, Love the area!
This 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.

Play Games
The recreation hall was a nice surprise. We had some rainy weather one afternoon and the kids were able to play games while we relaxed for a bit. Saved the day honestly😂

Hampton Beach State Park Campground
Oceanfront 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.

Spend A Few Days
We came up looking for a campground where we could actually spend a few days without constantly driving somewhere. Ended up fishing, swimming, walking along the river and exploring the area. The campground gave us plenty to do, but it was also nice having the option to just sit at the campsite and do nothing. Would definitley come back.

What to do
Lake activities and fishing: Tuxbury Pond RV Campground in South Hampton offers a small boating pond popular with seasonal campers.

The location is convenient for visitors primarily interested in golfing during their stay.
What campers like
Accessible beach proximity: Beach Rose RV Park in Salisbury Beach offers easy access to coastal areas.

Another noted it's "only about a mile from the beach," making it convenient for day trips.
Family-friendly environments: Pine Acres Resort in Raymond offers "countless outdoor activities" including "swimming, fishing, hiking, climbing (near by), biking... Volleyball, softball, tent sites, cabins, RV sites."

One camper described it as "a very nice park" with "super nice staff" and "well-maintained" grounds.
What you should know
Site spacing and privacy: Most RV parks in the Auburn area feature relatively close site placement. At Tuxbury Pond RV Campground, a camper observed "no separation between some tent sites" and mentioned feeling "a little awkward" with "golf carts & parked vehicles pretty much surrounding us."
Seasonal camper concentration: Many campgrounds have high percentages of seasonal residents. Seacoast Camping notes that "half of the park is seasonal campers (which is a lot more cramped and more junked up) and the other half is for transients." Another reviewer mentioned facilities being "mostly seasonal" with "everyone very considerate on site privacy."
Bathroom conditions: Facility quality varies across parks. One visitor mentioned "no hot water for showers" and "strong sewer smell in woman's restroom" at a local campground. At another facility, "bathrooms are not free, but for the money you get plenty of time to shower off."
Tips for camping with families
Activity planning: Schedule morning activities during summer as afternoons can be humid. One camper at Sandy Beach Campground mentioned "the sandy beach is nice" and appreciated that the "playground is on the beach," making it convenient for families with children of different ages.
Campground entertainment: Many RV parks near Auburn offer organized activities. At Tuxbury Pond, a visitor appreciated "activities/entertainment" including "a children's movie being played on a big screen" while adult programming happened elsewhere. Another mentioned "a comedy show" where performers were "aware that there was a child in the audience" and kept content appropriate.
Swimming options: Evaluate swimming amenities before booking. At Moody Beach RV Campground, one family noted "the pool area and hot tub are open until 8pm and are at a comfortable temperature," while another mentioned "the beach is a short 15-minute walk." For younger children, several parks offer playground equipment near water features.
Tips from RVers
Site selection: Several RV parks provide full hookups with varying quality. At Hidden Valley RV Park, a visitor mentioned their "campsite was unimpressive" with "very long grass, bare rock and mud" and noted challenges with utilities placement: "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."
Navigation challenges: GPS directions may be unreliable when locating campgrounds. At Tuxbury Pond, a camper warned about arrival: "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."
Winter storage: Most RV parks near Auburn close between mid-October and early May. For winter storage, Hidden Valley RV Park offers options for seasonal campers, though several facilities do not provide off-season storage. Advance planning is necessary as most parks in the region close completely during winter months.
