Best RV Parks & Resorts near Gilsum, NH
Several RV-friendly campgrounds operate within 30 miles of Gilsum, New Hampshire. Sandy Beach Campground in Contoocook provides full hookups with water, electric, and sewer connections on sites that accommodate both small and large rigs. The grounds feature a camp store, sanitary dump station, and trash service. "The sites were on the small side, but it worked just fine. We stayed at site 14 and needed a very long sewer hose," noted one first-time RV visitor. Woodmore Family Campground in Rindge offers similar amenities with big-rig friendly RV sites, though spacing between motorhomes can be limited during peak season. Gilson Pond Area at Monadnock State Park provides electric hookups with both 30-amp and 50-amp service, though water connections are more limited.
Navigation into mountainous areas requires careful planning as several campgrounds have narrow access roads with elevation changes. Most RV parks in the region operate seasonally from May through mid-October, with Sandy Beach open May 5-October 10 and Woodmore operating from Mother's Day to mid-October. Dump stations are available at most developed campgrounds, though some smaller state park facilities have limited dumping options. Reviews indicate some parks have tight turns for larger motorhomes, particularly at standard non-RV designated sites. One camper advised: "If you have an RV take the time to rent an RV site, otherwise backing in will put you in an awkward position as the mixed-use 'standard' sites are oriented towards tent camping and have narrow driveways." Pet policies vary by location, with most private RV parks allowing dogs while some state facilities have restrictions.
