SUMMARY PRESENTED BY
The Lakes Region surrounding Hill, New Hampshire includes numerous family-oriented developed campgrounds, mostly concentrated around nearby towns like Meredith, Ashland, and Gilford. Campgrounds near Hill offer options from RV parks with full hookups to tent sites and cabin lodging, with properties like Clearwater Campground, Meredith Woods Four Season Camping Area, and Davidsons Countryside Campground. The prevalence of mixed-use campgrounds reflects the region's popularity among vacationers seeking lake access and amenities.

Seasonal variations significantly impact camping in the region, with most campgrounds operating from May through October. Many campgrounds in the area maintain indoor facilities to extend the camping season. "Indoor pool and hot tub are amazing on a snowy frigid winter day. Utility sink for dishes available in heated bathhouse," noted one winter visitor to Meredith Woods. Weather conditions can be unpredictable in shoulder seasons, with spring bringing potential for rainfall and muddy conditions. Campground availability becomes limited during fall foliage season when tourism peaks. Several campgrounds require advance reservations, particularly for lakefront sites and holiday weekends. Road access is generally good throughout the region, with most campgrounds accessible via maintained roads.

Family-friendly amenities such as playgrounds, game rooms, and organized activities receive positive mentions in many reviews. Several campgrounds feature seasonal sites that make up a significant portion of their capacity, creating established communities within the grounds. Cleanliness standards vary between properties, though most receive favorable comments regarding bathroom and shower facilities. The proximity to attractions in Meredith, Weirs Beach, and surrounding areas makes these campgrounds convenient bases for exploring the broader Lakes Region while maintaining access to services and supplies.

Pine Acres Resort
Developmentally disabled adult daughter experienced discrimination here.
I am writing because I am deeply concerned about the treatment of my disabled adult daughter: today and last week at Pine Acres. She loved the campground and sent me literally 100s of pictures of the wildlife and activities.
She had a friendly connection with Brendan and some other staff; she had a terrible Christmas last year, and she told me how doing a Christmas craft and attending your Christmas party healed that for her. She was happy, and I can’t imagine she was an issue other than the crying.
She sent me pictures of the“ neighborhood” she was moving into for the rest of the season. She was happy. She’s been struggling so much since the loss of that dog. I felt like she had found a place to heal, was having fun, and was going to be ok. She mentioned wanting to be friendly( greeting people is hard for her) and make the park a better place, like picking up others' trash. I was shocked to hear she was asked to leave simply for having an autistic meltdown, a neurological event she will experience for the rest of her life, like a seizure. Even if this made others uncomfortable, she didn’t damage any property, threaten anyone, or do anything that could possibly warrant this treatment. It seems that someone was uncomfortable with the intensity of autistic emotions, and she and I now faced devastating consequences, including additional costs. Moreover, I also have a traumatized daughter who is scared to settle again kicked out for crying.
This never needed to be handled like this. She tried to advocate for herself and ask for one more night to prepare, but she never refused to leave; she was packing well, advocating. She was also advocating, believing that the people who had been so kind would be reasonable. Then she was retaliated against for that advocacy. Grace is reasonable, and a resolution could have been reached to address any non-discriminatory concerns; instead, you chose violence. Grace is kind; I realize she is a bit awkward, but that doesn’t mean she wanted this mistreatment.

Pretty ok!
No major complaints. Beautiful location, easy to get to, convenient RV hookups. Goose poop everywhere so watch your step. Showers are relatively expensive. Sites are very very close together.

Northstar Campground
Quaint, cute…a little crowded
For the price, it’s not bad. For about $50/night, we got a nice even sandy campsite with a picnic table and fire ring. Not much privacy, though- the neighboring sites are not separated by trees or bushes or anything.

My New Favorite
We just got home from our week at Fransted Family Campground and am already looking forward to returning next year. The location of the campground was perfect - especially for exploring the Franconia Notch region. There is a nice mix of RV and tent sites. The tent sites are well shaded and felt spaced out compared to other places I have camped. We had a site on the stream which was nice. Fell asleep each night listening to the water. I only used one of the bathhouses, but it was clean. Showers were clean (separate rooms). Customer service was off the charts. So friendly and helpful. There was a number we could call to get firewood if the store was closed and they were also so nice about it too. There is free WiFi, but it really only works up near the front office. But there is a beautiful pavilion with nice furniture to relax on if you needed to go and use WiFi (or just relax for that matter). We didn’t have kids with us, but there are a lot of lawn games, a playground, courts and field available. Overall, very quiet but Al family friendly. I will definitely be back.

Amazing family fun
Beyond friendly staff. The sites and kept up. The cabins are like a home away from home. Little dan and big Dan are amazing to go swimming in. The store has everything you'd want or need during ur trip!
Daniel C.TravelerCold Springs Camp Resort
Such a clean campground!
I have to say one of the best campgrounds in New England. All of the bathrooms, showers, site and other places were all clean and well cared for. We had a nice site by the pond. It was peaceful while still being busy withe plenty of kids. They have hundreds of sites, mostly seasonal but gives you nice walk to see the place. The pools were really nice and again clean. They have a snack shack with breakfast, lunch and dinner. A well stocked store with very nice staff. It was our second stay and will not be our last.
The only thing that wasn't great was the WIFI and cell service isn't great.

Everything I Love About Camping
This was such a great campground! Before we even left we were planning on returning. It’s clean, has great facilities and a camp store with anything you need or forgot without having to go to Walmart. It’s a fun place for kids, peaceful for parents, plenty to do on site and nearby.

Private secluded sites
This dirt road joins with Trudue rd to form a loop. There are pull in/back in sites with plenty of privacy. No cell service. Only a couple or of sites offer sun so use of solar can be difficult. Starlink does not work.
Sites are roomy, private and close to streams. There is hiker traffic that adds to the charm. A lovely place to camp. There
Guide to Hill
Campsites near Hill, New Hampshire offer year-round options with several locations open during winter months. The region sits at the southern edge of New Hampshire's Lakes Region where elevations range from approximately 500 to 700 feet above sea level. Winter camping facilities frequently maintain heated restrooms and shower buildings to accommodate cold-weather visitors.
What to do
Swimming access: Clearwater Campground offers affordable equipment rentals for water recreation. "Kayak rental was super cheap and easy to do!" noted one camper who also appreciated the well-maintained beach area.
Hiking nearby: Mountain trails surround many camping areas, with access points often within a short drive. "We explored the grounds & noted some sites that were a smidge more secluded and plan to return again sometime!" remarked a visitor to Gunstock Campground, where guests can "walk to hike Gunstock."
Off-season activities: Several campgrounds maintain indoor facilities for colder months. "Snow ploughing happens regularly and reliably," reported one winter visitor who enjoyed indoor amenities when outdoor activities weren't possible.
What campers like
Indoor amenities: Many campgrounds supplement outdoor recreation with indoor options. "Indoor pool and hot tub on the other side of the road at the sister campground Meredith Woods was splendid," mentioned one visitor appreciating all-weather recreation.
Site spacing: Some campgrounds offer more separation between campers. A visitor at Ames Brook Campground noted, "Site 27 is very large, near a cute babbling brook... Easily fit our large tent, screenhouse, area to park our truck and still move around comfortably."
Cleanliness standards: Bathroom facilities receive particular attention from reviewers. "Squeaky clean - and that's not always easy especially in the winter when everyone drags snow, slush and mud into the bathroom," noted one winter camper.
Proximity to towns: The location allows for convenient resupply and dining options. A visitor to Harbor Hill Camping Area appreciated being "just a mile away from downtown Meredith where you can do all kinds of stuff."
What you should know
Off-season changes: Winter operations differ significantly from peak season. "We stayed for a winter weekend, they have a few transient sites that can accommodate RV's year round," explained one camper noting the reduced availability.
Site selection considerations: Some campgrounds have varying site types with significant differences. "If you do not get a site near the docks to enjoy the view, I could see this camp ground not being worth it," advised a visitor to Paugus Bay Campground.
Management transitions: Several campgrounds have undergone ownership changes affecting operations. "New corporate owners and it's named Hunter's Run RV Park. Combined with another campground across the street," reported one visitor noting modified operating procedures.
Deposit requirements: Some facilities implement specific payment policies. "Must provide a $10.00 refundable cash deposit for gate card, bring cash or else enjoy the atm fees," warned one visitor about procedural details.
Tips for camping with families
Playground considerations: Facility design varies significantly between locations. "The playground was bigger, and height smaller. Not a structure for small children," commented a visitor about age-appropriate equipment.
Recreation options: Entertainment amenities differ substantially across campgrounds. "They have a nice game room for them kids or grown ups that struggle to leave technology behind. They also have a nice little play ground witch is always the first thing my little buddy asks to go find," shared a visitor to Newfound RV Park.
Age restrictions: Some facilities implement specific age policies. "The age limit for hot tub is 14 YO and strictly enforced," reported a visitor about recreation area rules.
Nature exploration: Many locations feature on-site natural features. "A fun plus to the campground was the nature walk and stream on the property. This was a great place to take our dog for a quick walk," wrote a visitor describing accessible outdoor activities.
Tips from RVers
Leveling challenges: Site construction varies significantly between campgrounds. "Lot was not level. Lot was roomy," reported one RV owner succinctly describing site conditions.
Road considerations: Internal campground roadways can present navigation challenges. "My biggest complaint is the narrow roads in the campground," noted one RVer about maneuvering difficulties.
Winter accommodation: Some facilities specifically prepare for cold-weather RV camping. "There are a ton of full time seasonal RV's as many people use this campground as a base for snow machining," explained a winter visitor to Davidsons Countryside Campground about the popularity of winter motorized recreation.
Hookup access: Utility connections may not always align with RV designs. "Water hook up was on the opposite side of the site of where the camper needed to be," reported one visitor about infrastructure layout challenges.
