Lake activities: Tuxbury Pond RV Campground provides boating access and seasonal swimming options. "Beautiful campground, clean facilities, decently priced. The pool, playground, bathrooms, and basketball court were all open and well maintained," shares one camper who visited during summer. The campground's pond offers additional water recreation beyond swimming pools.
Outdoor adventures: Riverbrook RV & Camping Resort serves as a convenient base for exploring the White Mountains region.

What campers like
Community atmosphere: Sandy Beach Campground in Contoocook balances seasonal and transient campers. "The campground is very friendly... a lot of seasonal folks," observed one visitor. Another camper noted, "What a wonderful time at sandys, would definitely stay again," highlighting the community feel that develops at campgrounds with consistent seasonal occupants.
Well-maintained facilities: Newfound RV Park receives praise for its cleanliness and amenities. "The onsite facilities were clean and well maintained. The laundry is $1.50 for a wash and $1.50 for an hour dry cycle," shared a camper who appreciated the fair pricing and upkeep. The campground also offers private restroom stalls that campers found consistently clean.
Family-friendly environments: Several parks prioritize activities for younger campers. As one visitor to Cole's Mine RV Resort noted, "This place is perfect for small families or parents of younger kids. 2 amazing playgrounds, clean facilities and one amazing pool." Another camper added, "Super fun pool and a small campground so not many people crowding the pool."
What you should know
Reservation systems vary: Some campgrounds use third-party booking services that don't allow site selection. At Tuxbury Pond, a camper reported, "You do not get a choice during the online booking to choose the campsite to reserve & the site # is not included in the confirmation email," which can create confusion upon arrival.
Noise levels fluctuate: Weekend entertainment at some parks can impact the camping experience. A Pine Acres Resort visitor noted, "Stopped for the night on our way to Maine. Site was across from the pavilion... Large crowd of people gathered yelling and karaoke started until 11:20." Quieter sites are typically farther from amenity centers and event spaces.
Seasonal limitations: Silver Lakes Park Campground and similar facilities operate with restricted seasons. "Silver Lake Park Campground and Cabins was an incredibly well maintained campground off Jamestown Road in Belmont NH. Brent and Dee Phillips have owned this campground for 3 seasons," explains a reviewer who noted the campground operates from mid-May to Columbus Day.
Tips for camping with families
Playground access: Consider proximity to play areas when selecting sites. At Cole's Mine RV Resort, families appreciate the dedicated spaces for children. "Super fun pool and a small campground so not many people crowding the pool. Many nice fishing spots and lots of play areas and outdoor recreation," notes a satisfied family camper.
Entertainment schedules: Tuxbury Pond RV Campground offers both adult and child-focused evening activities. A camper shared, "A staff member came to our site and let us know that there is an 18+ comedy show but there was a children's movie being played on a big screen on the other side of the campground," demonstrating how parks accommodate different age groups simultaneously.
Beach quality considerations: Sandy Beach Campground has waterfront access but variable swimming conditions. One family mentioned, "The 4th of July... 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. A lot of seasonal people but friendly. Playground is on the beach."
Tips from RVers
Site selection strategies: Turtle Kraal RV Park provides varied site options across multiple loops. "This campground is huge - there is a lower loop and an upper loop with the bathhouse and pool right in the center," explains an RVer who appreciated the layout. Sites near amenities offer convenience while boundary sites may provide more space.
Utility placement challenges: At Hidden Valley RV Park, hookup locations can complicate setup. "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," warns an RVer who struggled with positioning.
Internet connectivity: For working campers, connectivity varies by location. At Newfound RV Park, a remote worker shared, "I work remotely, so having internet access is mandatory, we were able to use our AT&T hotspot with decent service. That worked well enough for my needs, so I didn't test the onsite WiFi." Most RV camping near Boscawen offers cellular coverage but bandwidth and reliability fluctuate.
