Most campgrounds in the region operate seasonally from May through October, with limited year-round options.

Access to camping areas varies by location, with many sites requiring advance reservations during peak summer months. The region experiences typical New England weather patterns with warm summers and cold winters that limit camping seasons. "The sites are super private, the rangers are friendly, and the mosquitoes are ferocious, but I can't give a campground a bad review because of the mosquitoes. Just a warning to be prepared," noted one camper about Gilson Pond Campground. Most established campgrounds provide basic amenities including water access, restrooms, and shower facilities, though hookup availability differs between locations. Cell service can be spotty throughout the region, particularly in more remote camping areas.

Campers frequently mention the wooded, private nature of sites as a highlight of camping in this part of New Hampshire. Several campgrounds offer access to ponds and lakes, making them popular for fishing, kayaking and swimming activities. Pearl Hill State Park Campground receives consistent praise for its wooded sites that provide natural privacy between campers. A visitor observed, "There are some wonderful sites in this campground, but not all of them have privacy." The proximity to Mount Monadnock creates opportunities for hiking excursions from several nearby campgrounds, with trails ranging from easy walks to more challenging climbs. Weekends during summer months typically see higher occupancy rates at developed campgrounds, with waterfront sites being particularly sought after.

    Ashuelot River Campground

    Nice ‘n Easy campground

    We stayed for 3 days off season so not busy. Sites located along the river are wooded, field sites are very open great for seeing the stars at night. Sites have fire rings with excellent airflow for good burning with low smoke. Hook ups are in great condition for power, water, sewer. Showers and bath house on site. Laundry and game room at office area. Office staff was very helpful and they’re open later into the day til 7 PM. Good firewood and large bundle delivered for $15 to your site. We passed over this site on our first trip to the area but are glad we came here and we’re planning to return. Follow the website directions to get here as there are covered bridges in the area with low Clearance and low weight limits.

    Ashuelot River Campground

    Another great trip to Ashuelot River Campground

    We spent another great weekend at the Ashuelot River Campground. We recently purchased a new-to-us camper and wanted to get in a trip or two before putting it away for the winter. This was our 2nd visit to Ashuelot.

    We were in site 59, a pull-through with water and 30/50 amp service. The site was level and easy to get into and park. We were in a fully wooded area on the left side of the campground, which we prefer. They have sites located in fully open areas, as well as some that are partially wooded and have river access. There is a nice mix.

    Having good weather, we took a lazy tube ride from one side of the campground to the other. It has been quite dry in the area, so they are experiencing a drought. However, a little rain in the week got the river moving a bit. We were able to enjoy a nice, slow drift around the campground.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our time again and will definitely be back.

    Woodmore Family Campground and RV Park

    Good Campground

    Stayed for over a week off season , mid September. Very quiet during the week , weekend is Party Time when the gang pulls in on Friday Night. Very loud until after 10:00 on Friday / Saturday. 50 percent or more is seasonal camp sites. Sites in back are ok with trees and different levels. Sites are a little closer than I usually find. Neighbors are very considerate on site privacy. Owners are exceptionally helpful and work hard to keep the site functioning and clean. Coin operated showers with hot water, mostly nice and clean except after a crowd gets packed and checks out Sunday AM. Laundry room takes quarters for machines. Small store at office which was open every day. Game room with wi fi. Pool , playground , volleyball area. Good size wood bundle for $10 , delivered directly to your site. Lake access with kayaks , some local hiking. Major grocery store nearby along with Walmart.

Guide to Greenville

Campsites near Greenville, New Hampshire are nestled in the Monadnock Region of southern New Hampshire, with elevations ranging from approximately 800 to 1,000 feet. The area's numerous small lakes and ponds contribute to higher humidity levels during summer months, often creating misty mornings at waterfront campsites. Most campgrounds in this region offer wooded sites with mixed pine and hardwood forests providing natural shade.

What to do

Swimming access: At Lake Dennison Recreation Area Campground, campers can enjoy a clean, well-maintained swimming area. "The lake is clean and the beach is clean and soft(ish)," notes one visitor. Sites near the water are particularly sought after during summer months.

Mountain biking: Several state park campgrounds in the region offer trail systems suitable for mountain biking, with varying difficulty levels. Pearl Hill State Park Campground provides interconnected trail systems with neighboring parks. "There is a community fire pit with s'mores, which was cute! Swimming area closed for bacteria levels, but lots of other nearby activists for the recreation seeker," reports a camper.

Fishing opportunities: Many local ponds and lakes allow fishing, with some campgrounds providing direct shoreline access for anglers. The Field and Stream RV Park offers "a great site right next to the water. Sites are clean and well equipped," according to one winter visitor.

What campers like

Wooded privacy: The heavily forested sites at Greenfield State Park Campground receive consistent praise. "Very large campground with lots of woods to block you from other campers. Dog friendly 🐶," writes one camper. This natural screening between sites enhances the wilderness camping experience.

Water features: Many campers specifically mention the brooks and streams that run through certain campgrounds. At The Pine Campground, "most of the daily/weekly sites back up to a stream, which is nice. You can hear the water running, especially at night," providing a peaceful natural soundtrack for sleeping.

Seasonal camping options: Several campgrounds offer year-round opportunities, allowing visitors to experience different seasons. "They offer all year round camping. Great site right next to the water," notes a review of Field and Stream RV Park, which maintains higher winter rates from October to May.

What you should know

Bathroom maintenance varies: Facility upkeep differs significantly between campgrounds. At Willard Brook State Forest Campground, a camper reported, "no showers and the men's restroom was a complete mess!!!! Disgusting 🤮." However, others have praised facilities at different campgrounds.

Seasonal closures: Most state park campgrounds in the region operate from May through mid-October. Lake Dennison Recreation Area typically runs from "late May to early September," while Pearl Hill operates "mid May to mid October," giving a slightly longer season.

Reservation requirements: During peak summer weekends, advance reservations are essential at most established campgrounds. Some sites, particularly waterfront locations, book months in advance. Weekend availability becomes particularly limited from late June through August.

Tips for camping with families

Playground access: Otter River State Forest offers family-friendly amenities including a playground. "This campground is clean and well kept. Lots of families here. Swimming in a pond or a short drive to a bigger lake (camping pass covers both)," notes a repeat visitor.

Multiple pool options: Families seeking swimming alternatives beyond natural water bodies can find options at certain private campgrounds. One campground offers "3 outdoor pools(sports,toddler,regular) plus an indoor pool for rainy or chilly days. They also have crafts, hayrides and games,playground and other events."

Site selection for privacy: When camping with children, selecting sites away from high-traffic areas improves the experience. At Otter River, "The sites that are near the small pond are generally larger and have better space for pitching a tent," providing more room for family activities.

Tips from RVers

Size limitations: Most state park campgrounds in the Greenville area accommodate smaller RVs only. At Gilson Pond Area Campground, "don't bring a large RV- the sites are not meant for big rigs." Sites typically accommodate units under 30 feet.

Hookup availability: Full hookup sites remain limited at state parks but are more common at private campgrounds. "Spacious Skies Minute Man is a forested haven so close to Boston that you think you are in the country," with options for electric, water, and sewer connections at many sites.

Leveling challenges: Many campgrounds in the region require leveling equipment due to uneven terrain. "Site seems level for the most part, made of gravel. Heated pool, laundry, Wi-Fi that works, cable, 50 amp FHU," according to one RVer's assessment of a private campground.
