RV parks near Brookfield, New Hampshire offer camping options within a 30-mile radius of Lake Wentworth and the Moose Mountains. Seasonal operations typically run from April through mid-October, with most campgrounds situated at elevations between 500-900 feet. Winter temperatures in this region regularly drop below freezing, contributing to the limited operating seasons for most camping facilities.
What to do
Kayaking on Scarborough Marsh: About 55 miles southeast of Brookfield, Wild Duck Adult Campground provides access to nearby marsh paddling opportunities. "There is a culvert under Rt 9 that you need to pass under which is dangerous - the Audubon Center informed us that people have flipped in the culvert due to the current, and that there are obstructions under water that one individual got caught on," notes Heather C.
Beach access via trolley service: Sun Outdoors Saco Old Orchard Beach offers convenient transportation to nearby beaches. "In the summer 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," reports Nancy W., who also recommends exploring "Rachael Carson National Wildlife Refuge" with its dog-friendly trails.
Enjoy local entertainment: Family-friendly activities abound at camping facilities. At Thousand Trails Moody Beach, Laura C. reports "The pool area and hot tub are open until 8pm and are at a comfortable temperature. There are activities and food within walking distance."
What campers like
Clean facilities: Many RV parks near Brookfield maintain well-kept amenities. At Wild Acres Sun RV Resort, Sarah A. appreciates that "This was a nicely shaded and quiet park, even with kids running around. There was a nice pool for the kiddos, as well as kayaks and water toys for the pond, which looks like a lake. Great sized dog parks - 2 connected to each other."
Themed camping experiences: Cole's Mine RV Resort and Campground offers unique themed areas. Laura C. shares, "This place is perfect for small families or parents of younger kids. 2 amazing playgrounds, clean facilities and one amazing pool. We are local to the area and are thrilled to have met the owners and Cole himself!"
Adult-only options: For campers seeking quiet retreats, Wild Duck Adult Campground & RV Park offers a peaceful setting. Heather C. describes it as "peaceful and quiet, with the sounds of birds and the trees being the main thing you hear - it is quite relaxing. It has both tent and rv sites, some with full hookup and some with power and water only."
What you should know
Reservation details: Some RV parks near Brookfield have complex reservation systems. Sara D. reports about Tuxbury Pond RV Campground, "No mention of this in the confirmation email & long wait time on hold to find out site # (not included in confirmation email). I believe they use a 3rd party company for reservations. You do not get a choice during the online booking to choose the campsite to reserve."
Site placement considerations: At Silver Lakes Park Campground near Belmont, Kirsten J. notes the campground "feels clean, safe and well-maintained. It is a step above many other campgrounds in the area." However, she mentions that "most campers are seasonal campers, they do offer around 10 overnight sites for both tent campers and RV's."
Seasonal operations: Operating schedules vary based on weather conditions. At Thousand Trails Moody Beach, The G. notes that "This is a great park to enjoy the fall colors. This park has a private feel with a gated access and keypad and buzzer to let you into the park."
Tips for camping with families
Swimming options: Cole's Mine RV Resort provides family-friendly water recreation. Samantha N. notes, "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."
Entertainment scheduling: Some campgrounds offer special events that families should plan around. At Wild Acres Sun RV Resort, Bryan advises, "Great activities for the kids. And now the Bad: most sites your right on top of each other. And the campground map is missing the train tracks that are between the campground and the ocean."
Safety considerations: Families should research specific site locations. At Sandy Beach Campground, nicole shares, "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
Membership considerations: For frequent campers, membership programs can provide cost savings. As Paulina B. notes about Thousand Trails Moody Beach, "Consider the Thousand Trails membership when booking this site. Our annual membership fees basically covered what it would cost to camp here for two weeks."
Site layouts: Some Brookfield area RV parks have unusual site configurations. Arno W. explains, "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."
Electric service verification: Before booking an RV site, confirm electrical hookup specifications. At Turtle Kraal RV Park in Alton, Kirsten J. confirms the 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!"
