Equestrian camping near Greenville, New Hampshire requires planning ahead due to limited dedicated facilities for horses in the immediate area. The region sits within the Monadnock Highlands, characterized by rolling hills and mixed hardwood forests at elevations ranging from 800-1200 feet. Winter temperatures typically drop below freezing from November through March, with summer highs averaging in the mid-80s during July and August.
What to do
Golf and fish: Hidden Valley RV and Golf Park offers a 9 or 18-hole golf course with a pro shop and cart rentals alongside camping. According to Shawn C., "Nice RV campground with alot of seasonal residents. Plenty of tent sites. On site general store with grill. Fishing and swimming on property along with a club house."
Enjoy water recreation: Tippicanoe Campground borders Rand Pond, a spring-fed body of water with a sandy bottom. David G. notes, "Come here and enjoy yourself with no worries. Rand Pond is the body of water at the campground and is restricted to under 10 HP boats. It is stocked with rainbow trout by the State of NH."
View scenic landscapes: Ramblewood Cabins and Campground offers sites with panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. According to Anne G., "We have stayed here a few times and really enjoyed sites and hospitality!"
What campers like
Clean, well-maintained facilities: Tippicanoe Campground maintains high standards of cleanliness throughout their property. As David G. states, "Everything is immaculate from the bathrooms, shower, clubhouse, store and grounds so you can relax and know that the kids are safe and will be stress-free for your stay."
Helpful management: Hidden Valley RV and Golf Park staff go above and beyond for guests. Christy C. reports a specific instance: "Our generator was down and we needed to pick up our friend at the airport. Lauri loaned us her minivan to go to the airport and Drew loaned us some tools to work on the RV. They were so helpful and treated us like family."
Seasonal community: Many campgrounds in the area foster a community atmosphere among long-term campers. David G. observes at Tippicanoe, "Many seasonal campers have been here for years and keep coming back for the friends and activities."
What you should know
Hookup configurations: Some sites at Hidden Valley have awkward utility placement. Carry M. explains, "The water and electric were between our site and the next on one side and sewer between our site and the one on the other side. This made it difficult to place our trailer on the slanted site and reach all services."
Horse boarding alternatives: While specialized horse camping facilities are limited around Greenville, equestrians can contact nearby stables for boarding options when camping in the region. Always call ahead to verify current horse accommodation policies.
Site conditions vary: Not all sites are created equal at regional campgrounds. Carry M. notes about their Hidden Valley experience, "The site had very long grass, bare rock and mud. It was not a site we would have wanted to stay on any longer than the one night."
Tips for camping with families
Kid-friendly amenities: Hidden Valley offers dedicated spaces for children to socialize and stay connected. Christy C. shares, "The kids were given a lot of grace and hung out in the grill/game room area for hours on end to use the wi-fi."
Safe environments: NV Farms Outfitters and Cabins provides a controlled setting where families can relax knowing children are in a secure environment with clear boundaries and supervised activity areas.
Swimming options: Multiple campgrounds feature swimming areas appropriate for various age groups. Shawn C. mentions Hidden Valley has "fishing and swimming on property," while Tippicanoe has "the beautiful beach" referenced by David G.
Tips from RVers
Full-hookup availability: Tippicanoe accommodates RVs with comprehensive services. David G. confirms, "The sites all have water, 50amp and sewer hookups. Very few tenting, mostly RVs on the well laid out grounds."
Site selection strategy: When booking at Jelena's Campground or similar facilities without horse corrals, request sites with sufficient space for both your RV and horse trailer if traveling with equines.
Seasonal considerations: Many campgrounds in the area operate seasonally. Christy C. notes Hidden Valley's season runs "May - October each year," with limited availability outside this period.
