Try golfing: Hidden Valley RV and Golf Park combines camping with golf. "The main attraction of this campground is the golf course of 9 or 18 holes. There is a pro shop, golf cart rentals, etc.," explains Christy C. The 1300-acre property offers camping plus golf activities in one location.
What campers like
Clean facilities: Campers frequently mention bathroom cleanliness as important. At Tuxbury Pond RV Campground, Kristen L. noted, "Beautiful campground, clean facilities, decently priced. The pool, playground, bathrooms, and basketball court were all open and well maintained."
Entertainment options: Many campgrounds organize activities for guests. At Tuxbury Pond, one camper shared, "the band was good & the stand up comedy was awesome. For the most part, the comedians kept it fairly clean & our 9 yr old did not get any of the jokes that were a little sassy."
Swimming amenities: Cole's Mine RV Resort and Campground receives praise for its "amazing pool" with "an amazing water slide and themed" design according to Andrew G., who added it was "well payed out and very well taken care of."
What you should know
Reservation systems vary: At Tuxbury Pond, one camper reported challenges with their booking process: "You do not get a choice during the online booking to choose the campsite to reserve & the site # is not included in the confirmation email."
Site layout challenges: RV sites near Lee have varying layouts. At Seacoast Camping, "The roads in the park are fairly narrow and we had to drive over the grass across from our site in order to back in," according to one camper's experience.
Seasonal popularity: At Pine Acres Resort in Raymond, weekend activities can create noise. One reviewer noted, "Arrived at 6:30 pm and there had to be about 30 or more golf carts parked in front of our site. Large crowd of people gathered yelling and karaoke started until 11:20."
GPS issues: Some campgrounds have navigation challenges. At Tuxbury Pond, a camper advised: "A little tip about GPS: if you're using Apple Maps, it will likely take you to a turn that is not the campground entrance, there's even a hand-written sign on someone's lawn that has directions to the entrance."
Tips for camping with families
Look for kid-friendly amenities: Beach Rose RV Park offers features for children. A camper mentioned it's "close to the beach and freindly" with "a heated pool when the ocean is colder then you want." The park is described as "cute little campground about a mile from the beach. Clean and friendly staff. Kid friendly."
Consider campground size: Cole's Mine RV Resort gets high marks for its smaller size. One visitor noted, "Super fun pool and a small campground so not many people crowding the pool. Many nice fishing spots and lots of play areas and outdoor recreation."
Check entertainment schedules: Sandy Beach Campground offers activities, though sometimes they overlap with quiet hours. One camper shared their July 4th experience: "They don't allow sparklers so that was a bummer on the 4th, but still got to see fireworks."
Tips from RVers
Wi-Fi considerations: Connection quality varies widely. At Wild Acres Sun RV Resort, a camper reported, "WiFi not great and we have starlink - lots of obstruction so if you need uninterrupted access I'd check with the front desk to see if there are clearer areas for your satellite."
Site spacing awareness: Many RV parks have close quarters. At Moody Beach RV Campground, campers note, "The 30 amp sites are very close together. The campground layout is quite unusual, with campers parked lengthwise along the road. This means that you share the space where you sit outside with the camper behind you."
Seasonal campers impact: Many campgrounds have long-term residents. At Hidden Valley RV and Golf Park, "A lot of the campers are seasonal which is May - October each year," according to one reviewer, which can affect the overall atmosphere for short-term visitors.
