Best Campgrounds near Greenland, NH

Campgrounds near Greenland, New Hampshire provide convenient access to both coastal and inland recreational opportunities. Several established campgrounds serve the area, including Wakeda Campground in Hampton Falls and Sea Coast Camping and RV Resort in North Hampton, both within 15 minutes of Greenland. Most facilities accommodate a mix of camping styles with tent sites, RV hookups, and cabin rentals available. The proximity to Hampton Beach State Park and Pawtuckaway State Park gives campers options between coastal and forest settings.

The camping season in this region typically runs from May through October, with most campgrounds closing for the winter months. Many developed campgrounds require advance reservations, particularly during summer weekends and holidays when beach access is in high demand. "This is one of the cleanest, most meticulously maintained campgrounds we have been to. So quiet and peaceful as well," noted one visitor about Sea Coast Camping and RV Resort. Weather conditions remain favorable throughout the camping season, though coastal storms can occur. Sites vary from grassy and wooded areas to more open settings with gravel pads, and most offer full hookup options for RVs with 30 or 50 amp service, water, and sewer connections.

The camping experience near Greenland benefits from its strategic location between coastal attractions and inland recreation areas. Based on reviews from The Dyrt, campers appreciate the proximity to Hampton Beach and Rye Beach, with multiple reviewers mentioning the short 10-15 minute drive to ocean access. Tent camping options are somewhat limited compared to RV sites, with several campgrounds catering primarily to recreational vehicles. Amenities typically include clean restrooms, shower facilities, camp stores, and recreation areas. Several visitors noted that while sites can be close together, particularly in the seasonal sections of campgrounds, the grounds are generally well-maintained with friendly staff. Bug activity can be significant, particularly in wooded areas near water sources, so campers are advised to bring appropriate repellent.

    Spacious Skies French Pond

    Helpful staff

    The staff was friendly. Don't forget the flashlight. There is very little lighting to find your way around the winding roads of the campground which adds to the charm.

    Gunstock Campground

    Great Spot

    Fairly extensive camp ground associated with Gunstock ski area on central New Hampshire. 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. Dogs must have proof of rabies vaccine. Very nice showers. Beautiful fall colors.

    Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park™ Camp Resort, Lakes Region

    Downhill since new management

    Yogi’s Jellystone Park– Milton, New Hampshire: Seasonal Camper Review I have been camping at Yogi’s Jellystone Park in Milton for five years, including the last two as a seasonal camper. Unfortunately, my recent experiences under new management have been disappointing and frustrating. Pet Fence Policy and Safety Concerns
At the start of this season, the new general manager, Amanda, instructed me to remove my pet fence, citing liability issues. Despite my having signed a waiver absolving the park of responsibility for my dog’s actions, she insisted on its removal without providing a clear explanation. I complied reluctantly, only to observe many other campsites retaining similar pet fences throughout the season, including one seasonal camper who kept theirs up all season and transient sites with fences as well. This inconsistent enforcement of rules is unfair and undermines trust. After seeing others with pet fences, I reinstated mine to protect my dog, especially after two incidents where loose dogs entered my site and charged at my dog. Amanda then threatened me with non-renewal of my seasonal contract if I did not remove the fence again, forcing me to comply once more. I wrote to corporate regarding this issue since Amanda was of no help but never heard back from corporate. Loss of Seasonal Site and Corporate Decisions
Yogi’s removed nine seasonal sites this year, including mine, with little warning. This decision affects long-term campers, some with over 20 years of history at the park. It appears motivated by corporate interests, favoring transient sites or cabins, which generate more revenue. The loss of a seasonal site after investing time, effort, and money into making it beautiful is deeply disheartening and reflects poor management priorities. Entertainment and Atmosphere
Adult entertainment offerings have drastically declined. This year’s highlight was a 30-minute Saturday night hayride, with no live bands in the pavilion throughout the entire season. Under previous management, live music was a regular and enjoyable feature. The lack of engaging activities diminishes the overall campground experience. Myself and other campers offered suggestions to management regarding entertainment for adults but they didn't take any of our suggestions. Bear Interaction
Despite the park’s theme, sightings of Yogi Bear are rare. On one occasion, a golf cart carrying excited children stopped to see Yogi Bear, but the character ignored them and drove past without interaction, which was very disappointing. Management and Staff Attitude
Amanda, the general manager, presents as unapproachable and aloof. She did not introduce herself to seasonal campers at the beginning of the season, many of whom do not even know what she looks like and the camping season ends in just a couple of weeks. Most staff members also exhibit a snobbish attitude, often failing to acknowledge campers, which creates an unwelcoming environment. Cost and Recommendation
The campground is overpriced relative to the quality of experience and level of service provided. Given the inconsistent rule enforcement, loss of seasonal sites, diminished entertainment, and poor management attitude, I cannot recommend Yogi’s Jellystone Park in Milton NH Those interested in a Yogis campground should consider other locations.

    Salisbury Beach State Reservation

    Only a 4 because of out of stater price

    Campsites are close together, but the beach is amazing. Especially in the off season.


Guide to Greenland

Camping sites near Greenland, New Hampshire provide year-round access with varied terrain between coastal marshlands and inland forests. The region sits at low elevation, typically under 100 feet above sea level, with moderate annual rainfall of around 47 inches. Most campgrounds remain open from late April through mid-October with weekday availability significantly better than weekends during July and August.

What to do

Beach activities at Hampton Beach State Park: Located just 10 miles from Greenland, this oceanfront campground offers direct beach access. "Clean facilities, super quick access to the beach, friendly staff, sites are pretty close together with little separation between each other. RV & tent sites available. Our family loves both the ocean & camping so it is a win-win!" notes Sara D. from Hampton Beach State Park Campground.

Hiking at Pawtuckaway State Park: 28 miles northwest of Greenland, this park features multiple hiking trails around three islands and a lake. "Excellent hiking, beach, wildlife-filled wetlands, girding, geology, forests, and water to enjoy. Pretty serious trail up and around some mountains, to a fire tower, ponds," writes Harry H. from Pawtuckaway State Park Campground.

Paddleboarding and kayaking: Several campgrounds near Greenland offer water sports. "We loved paddle boarding in the river where seals were plentiful and fun to watch. There is also another winding river that goes through a marshy area that was great for bird watching," reports Nancy W. about Salisbury Beach. Watch for tidal changes which can create strong currents.

What campers like

Proximity to coastal towns: Campgrounds in the region provide easy access to historic coastal communities. "About 30 minutes north on I-95 is the New Hampshire town of Portsmouth which is super hip and has great restaurants. Definitely recommend visiting both of these towns if you have time," says Nancy W. from Sea Coast Camping and RV Resort.

Waterfront sites: Many campers prize the direct water access. "The sites on the water book up quickly but they're perfect for fishing and boating. Also, the view!" reports J L. about Pawtuckaway State Park. Waterfront sites typically cost $5-10 more than standard sites but provide easier water access.

Clean facilities: Campgrounds in the region maintain high standards for bathrooms and common areas. "This is one of the cleanest, most meticulously maintained campground we have ever been to. So quiet and peaceful as well. Wifi service was excellent. We will definitely come back," notes Rebecca S. of Sea Coast Camping.

What you should know

Site privacy varies significantly: Many campgrounds feature closely spaced sites, particularly in seasonal sections. "Sites are close together, but the beach is amazing. Especially in the off season," explains Shawn about Salisbury Beach State Reservation.

Tidal considerations: Coastal camping requires awareness of tidal patterns. "Beware of tides and strong currents in these areas as they can make paddling difficult and you may get stuck in the marsh," warns one camper about paddling near Salisbury Beach.

Reservation requirements: Most campgrounds require minimum stays during peak season. "Sea Coast has a two-night minimum (at least during the peak season) but worth it," notes Jim G. Reserve 3-6 months in advance for summer weekends, especially for waterfront sites.

Tips for camping with families

Playground access: Several campgrounds offer family-friendly recreation areas. "They have a pool and activities for kids but staff was not friendly. Would not go there again," reports Rhonda W. about Tuxbury Pond RV Campground, highlighting the importance of researching staff interactions.

Beach proximity for kids: Campgrounds with direct beach access simplify family outings. "It's a nice no frills campground. We stayed in one of cabins and it served its purpose especially during a passing storm. The location is great being 10 minutes or so from Hampton beach," shares Kris S. of Wakeda Campground.

Evening entertainment: Some campgrounds provide structured activities. "We had a large canopy tent set up right in between us & the bathrooms that we were now much closer to & there was a band setting up for their afternoon show. The live band was cool," writes Sara D. about Tuxbury Pond.

Tips from RVers

Site length considerations: Many campgrounds have shorter sites requiring adaptation. "Many of the sites are short but since you can park on the grass that turns out not to be a problem," notes Nancy W. from Wakeda Campground.

Hookup placement: Check hookup locations before selecting sites. "The electrical post and water hookup were placed way behind our site and we could not reach even with our 40' electrical cord. Park staff told us we could back onto the grass in order to reach the electric," shares one camper.

Satellite reception: Tree coverage affects connectivity. "The park does not have cable and we were not able to get reception on our satellite because of the trees and could not get any over-the-air channels," reports an RVer at Sea Coast Camping, though most campgrounds offer WiFi alternatives.
