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.

Prejudice owners
I have never come across a more prejudice, morally wrong and bad business situation in my life than my most recent experience with this campground. I am 40, am an engineer and my mother is 70 and a retired high school teacher. I have a five year old and live with my mom. I have owned three properties over the years. I say all this background because it’s necessary for this story. Oh and I am very quiet, have held a security clearance, a marathon runner blah blah blah. My mom sold her condo and we have a move out date on June 15. We decided to get an rv for the season and stay at a campground. We picked this one. They said we were all set to move our rv to the site for May 21st. Then on May 20th in the afternoon they call and basically say our family dynamic is unacceptable and we can’t move in. Yes I have a girlfriend. She doesn’t live with us but stays often. She has been an Americore worker plus worked with homeless for years. Apparently we would look to out of place. First- to tell us this about 16 hours before move in is unacceptable, after a couple weeks of saying you’re fine. To be that judgmental and prejudiced is unacceptable. I have zero respect for this campground and wish all who read this to boycott. Mary Ellen you are not a good person. In one voicemail to my mom you state how she’s anxious and also say it will be fine! Turns out she had good reason to be anxious. To treat others like you do is not ok. I found that anxious comment very off at the time and in retrospect it is telling on many levels. Be ashamed! What you have done to good people is wrong on many levels. I state all this personal stuff to highlight how ridiculous being turned away from a campground is. I have owned nice homes in very nice communities and never thought a pathetic campground would turn me away, what a joke.

Love camping here!
The first time we camped here was on Columbus Day weekend a number of years ago, and we got to see seals sun bathing on the beach. Are kids thought it was the greatest thing ever! The sites are a little close together and many of them are in direct sunlight , so that isn't the greatest , but if you have an awning, you should be good. We love that it is right on the water, and we can walk to the beach. We also appreciate that it is pet friendly, and our dogs love it too. Write down the street from camp, there is a street setup almost like a boardwalk, with arcades, live music, ice cream, food, and a carousel! There is also a bigger beach, and you are one twin away from New Hampshire. Lots to see and do here!

Close Sites, Loved the River!
My husband and I had a great time here! We went early in the season, so there were not many people there. We met the new owners/managers and they were very friendly. David was attentive and very helpful!
We stayed in the Oak Section at 317. The sites are pretty close together, which is why I gave a 4. We didn’t have neighbors, but I can imagine on a busy weekend, it might get crowded. The Utilities at this site were in an awkward spot, compared to where we wanted the camper.

The Road is Loud
My husband and I had a great time here! The owners and managers are amazing. Kind, friendly, attentive! We really appreciated them!
The reason for the 4/5 is due to the road noise, and the neighbors noise. The residents that boarder the campground are a bit loud. We camped at spot 72. If you are tent camping, I would recommend not camping at the 70’s spots. It’s just close to the road, and it can get noisy at times. It quiets down at night, but during peak travel times is a little loud. Head to the back of the camp ground. The bathroom looks further away than it is, but everything is very convenient!

Nice people
Needed a spot to dump. They were one of only a very few places open in March. $20 to dump our tanks.

Forest Glen
Forest Glenn campground
Forest Glenn campground is a very nice campground on Wheelwright pond in Lee New Hampshire! Not well kept up but makes you feel like you’re still camping and not glamping ( glamorous camping ) besides some of the very nice campers here with 2 stories on them! Anyway cutting to the chase, just to let any new comers know that are looking for camping in the Lee area if you so choose to camp at forest Glenn depending who you are or how you approach this place dictates if you will have to feel like your stepping on eggshells your entire stay… the owner is a angry Drunk who is sometimes very nice to others or very nasty, and I personally mostly see him being nasty. A couple years back I wanted to look at the campground to see if this would be a place I wanted to stay at so I walked into the office and asked them if we could look around and the lady was in the process of writing us a pass to drive through. This man comes in and said whats going on so I politely told him that we were interested in his campground and we wanted to look around. He completely flipped out said he doesn't understand, said his campground is his back yard, we can't allow this how would you like if I just walked around your back yard etc etc.... yelling at us the whole time and spitting while screaming and then told us to get out of his sight…. This place mind you is overrun by golf carts and I have heard of incidents where people get hit by them because who cares about the posted 5mph speed limitations if your in a golf carts right? Right! And CLEARLY this place is a Double standard place so you will not be treated equal… and as far as I know this place has secret people who camp supposedly working at camp like the manager and security and the plumber or electrician who look like their helping but while helping they gather information about you to spread it around to others or to cause problems with you and the owner!! Oh how thoughtful… one Morning I was in the office and the owner pulled me into the rec room to have a talk with me about my string lights suggesting I shut them off at night and I’m not allowed to use them anymore. I said “sir why would I do that there are 50 other sites with spot lights and string lights Who are these lights bothering that I need to take them down for? “ he said use them inside the trailer I don’t want to see them on again! “ now tell me how that makes any sense… so I shut them off and it became like a minefield on my site at night with no lights while the campers down a different street get to have theirs on. There is no privacy at this place, things keep going missing, and the sites are packed like sardines with no room for Jesus. There are also people staying here over winter and it’s a seasonal campground tell me how that makes any sense. Anyway definitely an experience to be at where drama hits too close to home and the golf cart parking spots are rolling a little to close to my feet. “ oh sorry my foot slipped “ #welp time to search for another place. Seems to be a trend with almost every campground. Angry owners who automatically cause problems or can’t run their own business place without drug addicts for help ( to say the least me and my wife WILL NOT BE COMING BACK )
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.
