Brookfield, New Hampshire provides access to several established campgrounds within a 30-mile radius, catering to various camping styles and preferences. Gunstock Campground in Gilford offers 250 sites accommodating tents, RVs, and cabins with full hookup options. Other notable options include Lake Forest RV Resort in East Wakefield and Pine Ridge Campground in nearby Acton, Maine. The region includes both family-oriented destinations with activities and amenities as well as quieter, more rustic camping experiences. Most developed campgrounds in the area provide drinking water, toilets, and fire rings, with many also offering electrical and water hookups.
Camping season in the Lakes Region typically runs from May through mid-October, with some campgrounds like White Lake State Park operating specifically from May 26 to October 8. Winter weather conditions generally make camping impractical during colder months. Many campgrounds require advance reservations, especially during summer weekends and holidays when facilities reach capacity. Several campgrounds maintain gated access with key cards for security. Travelers should verify pet policies before arrival, as rules vary by location. As one camper noted about Wolfeboro Campground, "Sites are very spacious and surrounded by trees. Very quiet campground. Definitely not a 'resort' type campground but this is exactly what we like about it."
Waterfront access represents a significant draw for many campgrounds in the area, with several offering beach access, boat launches, or direct lake frontage. Campers report high satisfaction with sites that provide both natural settings and nearby recreational opportunities. The region includes a mix of campgrounds catering to different demographics, from family-oriented resorts with activities to adult-only facilities like Potters Place Adult Camping Area. Proximity to Lake Winnipesaukee and other bodies of water enables water recreation while still maintaining a woodland camping experience. Some campers specifically seek quieter, less developed options, as evidenced by a review of Wolfeboro Campground: "Close drive to the lake and beach passes are provided with the stay. Nice wooded spaces, perfect for hammocks. Quiet and pushed back into the woods."
"Fairly extensive camp ground associated with Gunstock ski area on central New Hampshire."
"I was lucky to receive a tranquil, secluded spot next to a brook - perfect."

RangerLOVE this campground. Beautiful grounds with campsites nestled in a hemlock pine forest with lots of forest all around. So peaceful. Full hookup. Nearby Kennebunk and Kennebunk Port. No hiking trail on the grounds but many a short drive away. Pickleball and disc golf nearby. Only bummer was we wish we stayed longer. We would love to return for a week or more!
ScoutThis is our 2nd year as seasonal campers and it is wonderful. The seasons sites are very spacious and most have plenty of shade/sun. The transient site are not as spacious but have grassy areas and plenty of sun. There are no tent sites at this time
ScoutThis is a great simple campground, near a lot of hiking trails. The campground was very clean, and has hot showers and washer/dryers (coin operated) available. Most sites have a lot of privacy. We stayed at #20. This was probably one of the biggest sites there, I think it was meant for popups or 5th wheelers, but we stayed in a tent. Only complaint for the site was that there was a lot gravel, so a little uncomfortable having a tent set there (so I would probably choose another site on the campground for a tent). Also, we did see a bear one morning, our dog barked at it and it walked off. Just be mindful of picking up trash, and don’t have any food in your tent. Theres a dumpster at the entrance you can use. Overall it was a great campground, I would stay again.
GuideBeautiful park! Real contact with nature, super safe... get ready to walk.
GuideThis is a nice campground with 90% permanent upscale sites. Don’t let that deter you, the nightly spots are concentrated have excellent natural surroundings. Decent size spaces and mostly level. Workers were nice and many things to do.
TravelerNo toilet, no showers, no Wi-Fi, no electricity Love it I’ve been primitive camping since before I could walk and def glad this app exist
First use of the app and found the perfect spot away from my friends Airbnb and still close enough to go hangout with them. The site is the perfect size for a single or couple and it gives off the right kind of privacy
Thanks Dyrt
ScoutWent on a weekend and it was still very peaceful! Lots to do on such a beautiful back road. We stayed at two different sites each night we were there and both were equally beautiful and peaceful
TravelerA mix of seasonal and short term campers. Here for 3 nights I did not feel out of place at all - quite the opposite. Staff are very nice, campground is quiet, clean and has lots of amenities(laundry, games- pool, table tennis, badminton, small kids playground, kayak rental for the placid river, swimming area at the river"beach"). All sites have water and hookup. Couple of excellent tent spots right on the river. I had a small space down by the river for my tent trailer and found it quite spacious. Sites overall are somewhat close together but not overly and it remains peaceful. About 30 minute easy drive to the coast (Portsmouth, Hampton Beach etc.).
Scout⭐**Gunstock Campground: Apparently Your Reserved Site Is More of a Suggestion**
I don't believe I have**ever** left a negative Google review. I generally think that when something goes wrong, you contact the business, give them an opportunity to make it right, and most businesses are genuinely interested in doing exactly that.
Gunstock Campground has cured me of that quaint notion.
I reserved a full-hookup campsite for two nights. I was unable to make it there the first night, but arrived shortly after 7:00 a.m. the next morning. The camp store, where registration takes place, wasn't open yet, so I headed out for my planned hike— about six miles through the Belknaps, including summiting Rowe twice and Gunstock.
By the time I returned, I was utterly exhausted, starving, and actually feeling weak. My ambitions for the afternoon were modest:**eat something, take a shower, and collapse at the campsite I had paid for.**
The staff at the camp store greeted me warmly, checked me in, and sent me on my way.
I drove to my site. There was already a camper in it. Not merely*parked* there, mind you. They had apparently moved right in. They were hooked up to**my site's water and electric**, with water spraying from their ill-fitting hose connection and forming a rather impressive puddle underneath the camper.
I returned to the camp store to report that someone had apparently activated Gunstock's new**"Choose Any Site You Like"** camping plan. A staff member went down to speak with them and came back to tell me they were "packing up." Excellent! My mistake was assuming" packing up" meant**leaving**. It did not.
Apparently these campers had actually reserved a site**two rows away** that had**no water or electric**. Yet somehow, sometime after arriving the previous night, they had accidentally found themselves two rows over, in my clearly different site, connected to utilities their reservation didn't include.
We've all made mistakes. I've occasionally parked one space away from where I intended. I've never accidentally parked**two rows away, hooked myself up to someone else's electricity and water, and spent the night.**
But perhaps I lack imagination.
After they had now consumed about an hour of my afternoon— which, incidentally, is an hour I normally bill at attorney rates— I went back toward my site expecting to find it finally vacated.
And it was! Because Gunstock had moved these folks to another site**two spaces away from me**, apparently allowing them to pay for the upgrade they had already been test-driving. So the people who knowingly or unknowingly occupied my reserved full-hookup site, used the utilities, and delayed me from getting into the site I paid for were rewarded with...a nearby full-hookup site.
They never walked over to apologize. At that point, I no longer felt comfortable staying. It's difficult to relax at a campground when you've just discovered that site assignments appear to operate somewhat on the honor system— and that when someone helps themselves to your reserved site and utilities, management's solution is apparently to make sure *they* remain comfortably accommodated nearby. So I left. On my way home, I called Gunstock and asked for a refund. Surely, I thought, this would be the easy part. After all, I had paid for two nights, hadn't used the first, couldn't get into my site when I arrived for the second, waited while unauthorized occupants vacated it, and ultimately left because the entire experience had become so unpleasant.
Nope. Instead, the staff member **defended the other campers**. I was told they arrived late and "mistakenly" took my site. I was even told they supposedly **hadn't used the utilities**. This was particularly fascinating information for me to receive because **I PERSONALLY SAW THEM HOOKED UP TO THE WATER AND ELECTRIC.** I also took photographs. Including the enormous puddle underneath their camper from the leaking water connection. But apparently my eyewitness account and photographs were no match for the alternative version of events.
For my inconvenience, however, Gunstock did give me a coupon for a **free Bavarian pretzel**. So there is that.
I paid for a full-hookup campsite. Someone else occupied it and used the hookups. I lost roughly an hour waiting to access what I had reserved. The other campers were accommodated with an upgraded site nearby. I left because I no longer felt comfortable staying. And when I asked Gunstock to make the situation right, they refused to refund me and instead argued with me about things **I had personally witnessed and photographed**. The most disappointing part isn't that another camper took my site. Campers can behave badly. Businesses can't control everything their customers do. **What a business CAN control is how it responds when that happens. ** Gunstock had every opportunity to turn this into a mildly annoying story about a camping mix-up. Instead, they turned it into my first negative Google review.
But hey... **I do have that free pretzel coupon.**
Camping near Brookfield, New Hampshire offers access to wooded sites with varied terrain across the Lakes Region. Most campgrounds operate seasonally from May through mid-October due to New England's winter conditions. While many campgrounds provide amenities like showers and hookups, campers can find both resort-style parks with planned activities and quieter, more secluded options throughout the region.
Hiking opportunities: At Gunstock Campground, guests can access trails directly from the property. "We arrived without a reservation a bit after the office closed, but Elena, the manager came out to let us in and allowed us to check in. She was great... Beautiful fall colors," notes Marc D., highlighting the accessible hiking during autumn.
Watercraft rentals: White Lake State Park Campground offers kayak and paddle boat rentals for exploring their clear lake. A visitor mentioned, "The views from the lake are incredible. The beach area is very nice and has lots of tables and grills. We were able to hear the loons calling on the lake at night too."
Mountain recreation: Adventure-seekers visiting Gunstock can experience aerial activities beyond camping. One camper noted, "Has restrooms and showers and lots of fun activities to do. I went in 2018 and this year I am being my sister and nieces. Love the Segway tour and the adventure zip lining and the coaster."
Spacious wooded sites: Campers consistently mention appreciating sites with natural separation. At Wolfeboro Campground, reviews highlight this feature: "Nice wooded spaces, perfect for hammocks. Quiet and pushed back into the woods."
Beach access: Many campgrounds provide swimming areas, but Lake Forest RV Resort stands out for its waterfront location. A visitor simply stated, "I loved it perfect for our new RV the owners were great."
Adult-only options: For campers seeking quieter environments, Potters Place Adult Camping Area restricts guests to those 21 and older. "This is a beautiful campground with easily accessible sites, meticulously maintained grounds and it's super quiet. Tons of walking trails through the woods, and around the pond," Shannon G. reports.
Reservation requirements: Many campgrounds fill quickly during peak season. At Danforth Bay Camping & RV Resort, sites are in high demand. "Danforth Bay has been the staple campground for my family through the years. Its rare to find a campground with so many spacious wooded sites overlooking the water," explains Jake C.
Pet policies: Requirements vary between properties, with some requiring documentation. At Danforth Bay, one visitor noted, "Staff are nice, quiet time is a bit over enforced. Strict with dog paperwork as well so be prepared."
Fire regulations: Most campgrounds have specific rules about fires. At White Lake State Park, fires must be contained to designated rings, and quiet hours begin at 10:00 p.m. Some campgrounds like Potters Place provide firewood for free, as Shannon G. mentioned: "Oh, and he provides firewood for free!"
Activity-focused campgrounds: Families should consider properties with structured recreation. At Jellystone Park Lakes Region, one camper noted: "Family and pet friendly, stocked store including adult beverages, very fun for kids, stuff to do like laser tag, float in pond, occasional live music in the field."
Playground access: Several campgrounds feature play areas for children. Danforth Bay offers "2 big beautiful pools and a smaller one with a kids slide. Large campsites and well maintained," according to Shawn D.
Site selection: Choose sites strategically based on proximity to amenities. At Gunstock Campground, one visitor advised: "I recommend the sites back in Breezy Knolls (K01-K17 I think?) and then I believe sites 203 and 205 were nice and tucked away in the trees as well."
Hookup availability: Full-service sites are available at multiple campgrounds. At Pine Ridge Campground, RVers appreciate the clean facilities and peaceful atmosphere for longer stays.
Security features: Several campgrounds use key card systems. Gunstock Campground employs a gated entrance as noted in one review: "the campground is gated so you have to make sure you keep your key card with you whenever leaving in order to get back in."
Site size considerations: RV campers should verify site dimensions when booking. A Gunstock visitor mentioned, "Most of the sites are out in the open though, or very close together. Not so bad if you're camping in trailers or RVs, but if tent camping you won't really have any privacy in those locations."
