The camping season in this region typically runs from May through October, with most campgrounds closing for the winter months.

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.

Bug activity can be significant, particularly in wooded areas near water sources, so campers are advised to bring appropriate repellent.

ScoutWe travel in a larger RV and always check campground access before deciding where to stay. We were able to get situated without turning arrival day into an ordeal, which anyone with a big rig knows is a win.
TravelerI recently spent 5 days here camping with my dog and my family and we enjoyed it immensely! The staff was all extremely kind, helpful, and they worked hard to keep the campground clean. The bathrooms especially wete always clean. Its nice to be able to be comfortably in the woods while also having other amenities within 15-20 minute driving to pick up things we forgot or a little adventure. The sites were huge and had plenty of space for all our stuff and were all extremely well maintained.
ScoutReally nice little campground. We loved how peaceful it was, especially in the mornings when the lake was quiet. We made coffee, sat outside by the camper, and watched the water before starting our day. The campground was clean and our hookups worked perfectly. Nothing complicated or overdone, just a comfortable place to camp and enjoy being outside. We would definitely return.
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.).
ScoutWe wanted somewhere outside the city where we could stay with our RV but still be close enough to drive into Boston for the day. Berry’s Grove worked really well for that. After spending the day sightseeing, it was nice coming back somewhere quiet and relaxing by the lake.
ScoutWe wanted to spend a day in Boston but had zero interest in bringing the RV into the city. Berry’s Grove gave us a completely different experience. We could do the sightseeing and crowds during the day and come back somewhere much calmer at night.
ScoutThe location is what made this place for us. Waking up and being able to walk right down to the water was great. We spent most of our stay fishing, sitting outside, and just enjoying the campground. It is not one of those huge campgrounds packed with activities, which was honestly exactly what we wanted. Small, peaceful, and a nice place to enjoy some downtime.
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.**
ScoutWe stopped at Berry’s Grove while traveling through Massachusetts and were really happy with our stay. The hookups were convenient, our site was easy to get into, and having water and sewer right there made things simple.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
