    The Lebanon, New Hampshire area encompasses several established campgrounds offering a range of accommodations including tent sites, RV hookups, cabins, and glamping options. Quechee State Park Campground and Quechee-Pine Valley KOA lie just across the Vermont border, approximately 10 miles west of Lebanon, while Storrs Pond Recreation Area provides year-round camping opportunities in neighboring Hanover. Most campgrounds in this region accommodate both tent and RV camping, with several offering cabin rentals for those seeking more sheltered accommodations.

    Many campgrounds in the area operate seasonally, typically opening in May and closing in mid-October. Road access varies throughout the region with most established sites easily accessible via paved roads. As one camper noted, "Very easy to get too, directly off Rt 93 at exit 29. This is good and bad. The good is you can't get lost." Weather considerations are important when planning a trip, as New England experiences distinct seasons with cold winters and mild summers. Some campgrounds require reservations, particularly during peak summer months and fall foliage season. Cell service can be limited at more remote locations, and travelers should check individual campground policies regarding pets, fires, and alcohol.

    Waterfront camping represents a significant draw in the area, with several campgrounds situated along rivers and ponds. Mount Ascutney State Park Campground and Wilgus State Park Campground both provide access to outdoor recreation including hiking trails and mountain biking opportunities. A visitor observed that "The state park had everything we were looking for: close proximity to mountain bike trails, beautiful hiking trails, available leantos, and less than two hours from our home." For more adventurous campers, backcountry shelters along the Appalachian Trail offer primitive camping experiences with minimal amenities. Highway noise can impact some campgrounds, particularly those near Interstate 93, so site selection should account for proximity to major roadways. Most established campgrounds provide basic amenities such as potable water, restrooms, and fire rings, while more developed sites may offer electric hookups, showers, and dump stations.

      Northstar Campground

      Friendly, clean and well managed!

      Our first visit to the campground was the beginning of June. At check in we were greeted with a smile, which speaks volumes to me. We are tenters and we chose site 65, which is in a cul de sac, super big(an RV could fit there for sure) and nice and quiet. The river sites are actually quite nice and most likely where we would try to book next time. Our neighbors were respectful with their radio and noise(which I appreciate and the campground makes mention in their rules). The sites are all groomed and free from large rocks and debris. Each site also has its own trash receptacle that is emptied each day, so no need to go to the dumpster! The bathrooms/showers were exceptionally clean. We didn't take advantage of any other amenities, but there are things going on each day/night and plenty of grassy common areas for your own activities. Overall I give this campground a 10. It was everything we needed to make our stay pleasant!!

      Townshend State Park — Townshend State Forest

      Great quiet, wooded campground

      We had a great stay despite the rain from May 29 - June 1st.  We had the entire loop to ourselves for 2 of 3 nights.  The restroom was clean.  Showers took tokens and there was plenty of water.  The manager Julia and staff member Aiden were great.  All the sites in the upper loop were large and had platforms.  The lower loop smaller with no platforms.   There are some lean tos as well. They have a small discovery room for families. There were trails nearby and the dam was a short drive away.  The only downside is that there is no washing station for dishes and the sites are close together.  The staff did say that the park does not get crowded.

      Route 100 Dispersed Camping

      Amazing camping spot right off route 100

      Right along the road (so if anything happens you can get help) also has wifi signal. It’s right along a creek that’s clean and beautiful. Crisp air and calming flowing river noises all night made it so I slept like a baby!

      Green Mountain National Forest FR207

      Special place

      Public Lands with about 8 semi private sites, each with nice views west or easterly. It's a large meadow and with a breeze, it will keep bugs away. Lacking a breeze, it is tough but still beautiful

      Green Mountain National Forest Texas Falls Primative campsites

      Multiple sites beyond the falls

      As noted by others, most of the sites have a fire ring and nothing more.  A little more than half of the sites can be driven to and others require a very short walk (50 ft?).  The toilets mentioned are at Texas falls area and are not a practical walk from most of the campsites.

      There are no showers.

       Aside from the loop trail at the falls there are also a couple of snowmobile trails that cross the area.

      Clean, Spacious & Friendly

      Oxbow Campground in Deering has a helpful and friendly staff. The bathrooms are kept clean although should be updated.

      The campsites are spacious, trash picked up and very quiet at night promoting a good night's sleep.

      They sell their own fire wood, an employee who services campers is also available. 

      They have a propane fill station for your convenience too!

      Owners live right there within the park.and take pride in their facility.

      A nice family owned and run park promoting peacefulness.

    Guide to Lebanon

    Lebanon, New Hampshire camping spots range in elevation from around 400 feet in the river valley to nearly 3,000 feet on nearby Mount Ascutney. The Connecticut River forms a natural boundary between New Hampshire and Vermont, creating opportunities for waterside camping and paddling activities. Summer temperatures typically range from 50-85°F, with July and August being the warmest months for camping.

    What to Do

    Paddle the Connecticut River: Access the river at Wilgus State Park Campground, located 15 miles south of Lebanon. "This was a good little spot for a good night's sleep... Spots aren't very big but big enough to squeeze in two tents," notes Erik C. The park offers canoe and kayak rentals with shuttle service available on select days.

    Mountain bike nearby trails: Several trail networks exist within 30 minutes of Lebanon. "The state park had lots of tent camping around in spaces with decent privacy," reports Justin P. about Winturri Backcountry Shelter, which provides access to the Appalachian Trail and surrounding trails.

    Visit local attractions: Drive 15 minutes to Harpoon Brewery from many camping locations. "The town of Woodstock is a short drive west, and Killington Resort is a bit west of that. Killington offers summer mountain biking, zip lines, adventure climbs and roller coasters," writes Chris A. from Quechee State Park.

    What Campers Like

    Spacious campsites: Many campgrounds offer larger sites for privacy. At Mount Ascutney State Park Campground, "sites are very well maintained and have decent spacing between sites. The mountain biking trails are awesome and the hiking is fantastic!" according to Dana M.

    Clean facilities: Campers consistently note well-maintained bathroom facilities. "The bathrooms were cleaner than mine at home. Nostalgic feel with playground, pool, and rec hall," shares Ashley O. about Rest N Nest Campground, which is located about 20 minutes from Lebanon.

    Ranger-led activities: Some parks offer organized programs. "Rangers also run fun programs for children- my children churned butter and made popcorn over the campfire one night, and made tie dyed T-shirts the next (for no fee)," reports Jen B. about activities at Quechee State Park.

    What You Should Know

    Road noise considerations: Highway proximity affects some camping locations. "The cons: The road nearby is noisy. Because of its location, you can hear both the local highway and I91. If being in the quiet wilderness is important to you, than this campground might not work out," notes a reviewer about Wilgus State Park.

    Weather variability: Temperatures can fluctuate significantly in spring and fall. At Quechee-Pine Valley KOA, "The park is a large park that is terraced since it is in a pretty hilly area," explains Nancy W., which can affect drainage during rain.

    Reservation requirements: Many campgrounds require two-night minimum stays during peak season. "I had to book two nights because of the seasonal policy (requires two nights reservation during summer)," mentions Erik C. about Wilgus State Park.

    Tips for Camping with Families

    Look for camps with kid-specific activities: Some campgrounds organize regular family events. "Wilgus state park has amazing campsites, very friendly staff, and great access to the Connecticut River... We loved walking the trail behind the campsites along the river to the beautiful vista views with a group with young kids," shares Kaileigh K.

    Consider campgrounds with swimming options: Several sites offer water recreation. "There is a great local pond for swimming that had dive docks, diving boards and lifeguards on duty that was less than 10 minutes away," notes Kaileigh K. about options near Wilgus State Park.

    Check for playground availability: Some campgrounds include play areas. "This campground was beautiful and very quiet even though it was full. Campsites are all large and flat, lean to's also have ample space for tents and the cabin sites are perfect," adds Kaileigh about the family-friendly setup at Wilgus.

    Tips from RVers

    Site selection matters: Consider your specific RV needs when booking. At Storrs Pond Recreation Area, "Only complaint is the site is set up 'backwards' - the electric hookups are on door side of rv and the picnic table/main area of site is on non door side," reports Amy G.

    Leveling challenges: Some campgrounds have uneven terrain. "It looks like the state has spread out RCA on the sites, which probably could have been spread out better and made more level. Also tough to drive a stake into," notes Chris A. about Quechee State Park.

    Hookup availability varies: Check specific amenities before booking. "There are no hookups but they do have a dump station if you are in an RV. They also have several lean-tos that you can rent," explains Jan B. about facilities at Quechee State Park.
