Best RV Parks & Resorts near Lincoln, NH

Several RV parks surround Lincoln, New Hampshire, providing convenient access to White Mountain National Forest attractions. Country Bumpkins Campground, located directly in Lincoln, offers 30-amp electric hookups, water, and sewer connections with sites that accommodate various RV sizes. Just north in Franconia, Cannon Mountain RV Park operates year-round with full hookup sites including 30/50-amp service and is big-rig friendly. Fransted Family Campground, also in Franconia, features spacious pull-through sites with 50-amp service from May through mid-October. Riverbrook RV & Camping Resort in Rumney provides full hookup sites with level gravel pads approximately 20 minutes south of Lincoln. "For a smaller campground it was everything we wanted; the sites were a good size for our pop up," noted one visitor about a nearby RV park, highlighting the varied options available for different sized rigs.

Navigation to some mountain campgrounds requires careful driving, especially for larger motorhomes. Many RV parks in the region maintain sanitary dump stations, though availability varies seasonally with most facilities closing between mid-October and May. Cell service fluctuates throughout the White Mountains area - Verizon coverage ranges from 1-3 bars depending on location and terrain. Pet policies differ between parks; most allow pets with proper documentation, while Silver Lakes Park Campground prohibits them entirely. Propane fill service is limited, so RVers should plan accordingly. Fall foliage season fills campgrounds quickly, making advance reservations essential during September and October. Winter camping options are extremely limited, with Cannon Mountain RV Park being one of the few year-round facilities. RV travelers should note that many campgrounds have narrow interior roads that can make maneuvering challenging for larger units.

    Scenic View Campground

    Great experience!

    For a smaller campground it was everything we wanted; it was quiet; and the sites were a good size for our pop up; we stayed at site 20; which was the biggest along the waterfront. There is a nice walking trail and peaceful water view sites. The staff was super friendly and made our stay very enjoyable! Sites of all sizes from tent sites to large pull through sites for the big rigs! We will deff be back! Smaller camp store but there is a hardware/general store right down the road. Close to ATV trails. Ports potties were exceptionally clean. Propane is also sold on site. Pet friendly with appropriate documentation. I look forward to our next trip!

    Hancock Campground

    Year-round campground with riverfront tent sites & standard sites

    I haven't stayed here, but I checked it out on Columbus Day weekend because it's one of the few campgrounds open year-round (plowed, unlike Lafayette Place, which is walk-in) in the White Mountains. Most of the reviews talk about the walk-in tent sites, but there's more to this campground that is located along the Kancamagus Highway just before the Lincoln Woods Visitors' Center.

    If you're a tent camper and don't mind carrying your gear downhill to a site, drive straight ahead to a parking lot. A few of the sites (3 & 4) are accessible from the far end of the parking lot, but for most of them you'll head down the steps in the middle with sites in two levels branching out on each side. Sites are large, but close together and although you're in the woods, there's not much to separate you from your neighbors. Even sites 10-20 are directly on the water.

    Sites 22-55 are suitable for RVs and tents. Those on the back side of the loop are close enough that you can hear the Pemi River running below. A few of the sites are pull-through. There are no hook-ups, but water available via spigots and flush toilets are available - except in winter. I'd recommend sites on the back side of the loop to provide some more distance from traffic noise. I chatted briefly with a host who remarked that sites on the western end of the loop have some cell phone coverage, unlike the rest of the campground.

    If you stay here, you're only a few miles from Lincoln where you can pick up any necessary supplies. This end of the Kanc your nearest hiking options are Lincoln Woods and Greeley Pond for family friendly trails, or Lincoln Woods to head into the Pemi wilderness, including peaks in the Pemi loop and Owl's Head. The Hancocks are via a trail at the hairpin on the Kanc. Franconia Notch and its many hiking trails and the multi-use trail are a short drive away.

    Bring cash or a check to pay your camping fee in the iron ranger. Fees cover the first vehicle; a second vehicle is an additional $5.

    Ammonoosuc Campground

    Year-round camping convenient to Franconia and Crawford Notches

    This is one of the rare New Hampshire campgrounds that is open year round. For years I drove by this campground deterred by the run-down, deserted red building next door that is NOT associated with the campground. On a last-minute whim I called and snagged one of the final two sites for the holiday weekend, spending 3 nights here. I wanted to be someplace where I could track the baseball playoffs, so finding a place with wifi (fair, better closer to the bath house) and 2-3 bar 3G/4G Verizon access was a plus. This campground has a large number of seasonal sites, but also has sites available for the occasional camper, with discounts available if you stay for a week.

    Sites are wooded, generally moderately sized, though the seasonal sites are much larger. Tent sites do not have hook-ups, but they have small shelters that provide additional protection fro the weather. Some of the tent sites are sloped. They also tend to be long and narrow, opening up to a wider area with the picnic table, fire pit and tent pad. Tent sites in the K row are near the road, so although you don't get much campground noise, you do hear road traffic.

    The bathhouse is clean, well-lit, and heated (a treat on those cold autumn mornings). There's also a laundry room with 4 washers and dryers if you need to clean up or dry out after a rough day on the trails. Sites are close to each other. They've separated sites with fence panels in some places to provide some privacy. There's an inground pool, a large playground, and a horsehoe pit.

    Activities in the area include very convenient access to hiking trails ranging from family friendly Surgarloafs to classic 4000-footers along Franconia Ridge, and peaks along the northern ridge of the Pemi Wilderness (Garfield, Galehead, Twins), trails to Mt Washington and the Presidentials, as well as numerous peaks and waterfalls in the Crawford Notch area. Cog railway is just a few miles down the road if you want to catch an early ride. Trails for ATVs and snowmobiles are also nearby.

    Turtle Kraal RV Park

    5 star RV campground - all the amenities and well cared for!

    Turtle Kraal RV campground is a gated RV campground just outside Alton Bay NH.  Lots of great restaurants, ice cream shops and water activities are nearby!  

    The sign was easy to spot, right off the road, GPS leading us right to the entrance.  There is a long approach after you see the sign, and even a sharp turn before you see the gate.  We met the man at the gate (with his incredibly enormous husky) and provided us all the information we needed.  This campground has wifi, good cell signal (AT&T and Verizon), a great pool, is pet friendly and well maintained.  The bathhouse and pool were both very clean, and for as many RV's that were there - that was amazing!  Each site has a firepit and a picnic table - though many sites have additions and build for an extended stay!  

    This campground is huge - there is a lower loop and an upper loop with the bathhouse and pool right in the center.  Kids can ride their bikes around both loops, walk the dogs, play cornhole or horseshoes, etc.  Trash is well maintained, with enough dumpsters for the amount of campers they could hold at capacity.  They also have firewood for sale on your way in, so you don't have to chase a campground host or a little golf cart - you can buy what you need on your way back.  This is a very family friendly campground about an hour and a half north of Boston and about the same from the Whites.  A great base-camp for amazing days on Lake Winnipesauke!!

    Moose River Campground

    Great People, Nice Campground

    This is a small family-owned and operated campground just a few miles outside of St. Johnsbury, Vermont. The campground abuts the Moose River which makes for a pretty backdrop and wonderful place to dip your toes in the water. The shallow river is a clear flowing rocky river. 

    The campground is a mix of seasonal and transient campers with sites large enough to fit big rigs. There is also a rental camper and cabin available. There were tent sites but the owner mentioned they may fade those out. We stayed in a large pull thru (well over 125’), full hook-up site in the center section of the campground. (Site 27 @ $47/night). The electric worked fine and the sewer was easily reached with my 20’ sewer hose. The pad was gravel (as were the roads) and the patio was nice grass. Cable television is available and produced 32 stations. Our Verizon hotspot and phone worked well. 

    There are lots of activities at this park. It seems like every week there was a community bonfire where lots of palettes were set ablaze. During our stay, there was a potluck dinner in which the owners supplied roast beef and hosted us in a large covered pavilion. One evening they drove around the campground offering free ice cream sandwiches or drum sticks. Some mornings they supplied free bagels or donuts and always had free coffee. And, there were people always on the porch playing cards. Amenities include river access, a decent size dog park, large covered pavilion, bathhouse and laundry. When you arrive, you are given a swag bag with printed information about the surrounding area and businesses. This is a really nice touch because the reusable bag can be used in the grocery store as plastic bags have been banned in Vermont. 

    If you can score a riverfront site those are nice to sit outside and enjoy a fire. The pull thru sites are very close on one side as each RV pulls in the opposite direction; however, the sites are so long that if you pull up far enough you are not looking at your neighbor. Your patio opens to a neighbor but the sites are far enough away that it’s not a bother and you don’t feel like you are on top of them. Probably the nicest site in the park is #23 which is a back-in site with your patio facing the river. 

    The campground is in a good location, just a few miles from downtown St. Johnsbury, just a mile or so from “Dog Mountain,” and about 15 miles from Littleton, New Hampshire. There is a town forest just a few miles away that has some nice hiking trails. The campground is pretty small so we were happy to find places to hike with our dog.

    Chocorua KOA

    Small, quiet family campground

    The Chocorua KOA is a great campground with super friendly staff, a variety of sites and lots of activities and things to do for everyone in the family.

    We stayed with two other families on pull-through full hook-up sites 43, 45, and 47. Although we were on the main road, we really enjoyed these sites. They were wooded and in a central location close to the playgrounds, pavilion, beach and nature trails. Site 45 was pretty narrow but the other two sites had a bit more space so we mostly used 43 and 47 to hang out. We especially loved that the pull-through road behind our sites was not a main access road so we had a nice long stretch of road that was just for us. We played games and the kids road bikes without having to worry about cars driving through.

    There are also a lot of really nice tent sites along the water, cabins, teepees, lodges and great areas for groups to camp. They are fairly strict with quiet hours so it is a very quiet campground at night.

    The facilities are nice and clean. The pavilion and fire pit area are a nice place to gather with games and a mining station to enjoy. There are two playgrounds for little and big kids. The bathrooms are quite dated but clean. The pool is freezing cold so the kids didn’t swim much. The beach area is small and not deep enough to swim but the kids enjoyed playing in the sand and water. There are a lot of options for boat rentals- paddle boats, kayaks, canoes, paddle boards, and row boats. There is a beautiful board walk that leads through the marsh to a system of short nature trails. We really enjoyed walking the trails though some need a lot of work due to fallen trees and overgrowth. There were also a lot of free activities for the kids like crafts, wagon rides and games with a full schedule of events. You really never have to leave this campground!

    This is also an incredibly dog-friendly campground with a fun dog park, a special swimming pond just for dogs and doggie day care available. This is one of the most pet loving campgrounds we’ve ever camped in and our pup loved it!!

    We had a great trip and will definitely be back!

    Barnes Field Campground

    Large group sites in summer; first come sites for all in winter

    There aren't many campgrounds open in the winter in NH, but this campground just before the entrance to the larger Dolly Copp campground in Gorham is one of them. During the summer, it offers 11 sites for groups only with reservations required. 

    There's a blend of wooded/open sites located in a loop. So often it seems that group sites are wide open fields with minimal separation. Barnes Field provides clearly defined sites with picnic tables and fire pits. Water is supplied by a hand pump and toilets are vault. There are showers ($) nearby in Dolly Copp. 

    Rates in summer start at $40 for 10 campers and increase by $10 increments to $70 for 40. In winter you pay a per vehicle fee of $15.

    There were youth groups and adult AMC groups at the campground. 

    Site 8 is more secluded and up a small hill. Site 7 is in inside of the loop, wooded, and wet around the perimeter.

    It's located in close proximity to hiking trails in the northern Presidentials and Carter range. Wildcat ski is 6 miles south. There are numerous trails around for cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, and ATVs.

    Sunshine Valley RV Park

    No frills at a new and developing campground with great sky views.

    This hilltop RV park is still in its infancy, but offers pull through sites, seasonal sites with sewer. Water is available from a tank; you'll need to provide your own power, whether solar or generator. You'll need to be self-contained, with no bathroom facilities available. The sites are separated by grass and some small trees/shrubs in places.

    There is a small pool that should re-open after the coronavirus restrictions are eased.  If you're driving a big rig and have an ATV or other toys, you'll want to take a look here. There's plenty of space for your vehicle, trailer, and toys!

    It's right next door to Milan Hill State Park and is convenient to ATV trails as well as hiking, walking, and biking opportunities in the area. Take a walk over to Milan Hill SP and climb the fire tower! Sites at the top of the hill provide a view of peaks in the distance. Jericho Mtn with its trails is also within 30 minutes drive.

    Follow them on FB and they'll help you stay up to date with trail openings and closures. If you need to register your OHRV, you can do that at the campground.

    If you've forgotten something, Berlin is nearby and Gorham offers a Walmart Supercenter.

    It was the end of the season when I visited and there were signs of ongoing development.

    Twin Mountain Campground

    Quiet riverside campground

    I've stayed here 3 times now, once for just a quick overnight and twice for full weekends. It tends to be quiet due to restrictions against playing music outside your tent/trailer. There are also few, if any, seasonal campers - I think those are probably in the field around the pool as the site numbers do not appear on the campground map. It is now open year round, but I don't know what the facilities are like in the off-season.

    Many of the sites offer water and electric, but a number of them do not. A few offer sewer. The campground is located along the river, but not all sites have easy access to the river, making it something pretty to look at, but harder to get to. Sites are generally level with easy access. You do need to call to make reservations, which in this day and age drives me crazy. If you have more than one vehicle, the second one needs to park in a separate lot and there is a daily fee.

    The pool and large playground offer entertainment options for the kids; there's also a volleyball net. There is cell phone coverage at the campground (Verizon), but if you are going very far afield, consider downloading necessary maps and information before you go. When you get into the Notches, cell phone coverage is poor to absent.

    The camp store has souvenirs, clothing, and a variety of food and camp supplies. There's a restaurant on site with picnic tables out front or you can get it to go and take it to your campsite. If you need something else, Fosters' Crossroads is just around the corner and offers an even greater variety as well as gas. Yayas Market and Deli is another option a short distance north on Rt 3. 

    Activities abound in the area, offering everything from hiking, biking, wildlife watching, or a cog railway trip up Mt Washington. Franconia Notch is 15 minutes south, where you can do a family friendly hike to Artists Bluff or Lonesome Lake or something more rigorous and classic (if well equipped) to Franconia or Kinsman Ridges. The Sugarloafs and hikes to Zealand Hut are also family friendly and just up the road. Pondicherry Wildlife Refuge offers access to the Presidential Rail Trail and wildlife watching. Catch a sunset or a brilliant night sky from the scenic view pull-off on 115 (near Sunset Paradise Rd), just a 10 minute drive from the campground.


Guide to Lincoln

Campgrounds surrounding Lincoln, New Hampshire provide convenient access to White Mountain National Forest with various hookup options for RVers. Many campgrounds are situated along waterways including the Pemigewasset River and Echo Lake, offering waterfront camping opportunities at elevations between 700-1,500 feet. Water activities are common during summer months when temperatures typically range from 70-85°F during daytime hours.

What to do

Skiing and snow sports: Cannon Mountain RV Park offers year-round camping with particular appeal to winter sports enthusiasts. "Perfect for ski bums. Access to xcs, downhill, and snow machine trails," notes Corrie G. about this Franconia location that remains open during winter months when most other facilities close.

Waterfront activities: Many campgrounds feature river or lake access for fishing and boating. At River Meadow Campground RV Park, campers appreciate the Connecticut River access. "My friend and I took my son fishing and we landed some nice size fish big enough it scared my 7 year old son and he made me real it in," writes Chris H., highlighting the family-friendly fishing opportunities.

Hiking nearby trails: The White Mountains offer numerous hiking opportunities accessible from local campgrounds. A visitor at Cannon Mountain RV Park recommends: "Just across the street is the short but rewarding hike up Artists Bluff, giving you a view into Franconia Notch; continue along the ridge and you'll enjoy the western views from Bald Mountain."

What campers like

River sounds: Riverside camping spots rank highly among campers near Lincoln. "Sites on the main part of the river are close but still felt private. Very close to downtown North Woodstock for great food and drinks, the Flume Gorge, and other great trails," reports a visitor to Country Bumpkins Campground.

Smaller, quieter campgrounds: Many campers prefer the more intimate settings available. "This is one of our favorite trips every year! The campground is small, only 7 sites, but located at the base of Cannon mountain nestled next to Echo lake," comments Rhonda B. about her Cannon Mountain RV Park experience.

Clean facilities: Campground cleanliness receives frequent positive mentions in reviews. At Newfound RV Park, a visitor noted, "The onsite facilities were clean and well maintained. There are two private cubicle/stall restrooms centrally located on the grounds which were very clean."

What you should know

Seasonal operations: Most campgrounds in the region operate seasonally. At Silver Lakes Park Campground, the season runs "mid May to Columbus Day" according to their listing information. Only a few facilities like Cannon Mountain RV Park remain open year-round.

Varying pet policies: Pet regulations differ significantly between campgrounds. While most allow pets, Silver Lakes Park Campground prohibits them completely. Their listing specifically indicates "NO pets-allowed" among their features.

Nature trail access: Some campgrounds offer on-property walking trails. A Newfound RV Park visitor mentioned, "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. There's even a little 'wishing' bridge that crosses the stream."

Local supplies: Most campgrounds are located near small stores for basic provisions. "For quick provisions there is a gas station/country store just up the road. They have a decent selection of groceries, a deli counter, and a few quick-serve items," notes a camper about stores near Newfound RV Park.

Tips for camping with families

Playground access: Several campgrounds feature dedicated play areas for children. At Sugar Ridge RV Village & Campground, a visitor commented, "We stayed here and were VERY happy! Dog friendly, mini golf, heated pool, two playgrounds, and crafts and fun things for the kids!"

Scheduled activities: Some campgrounds organize regular events for families. "They keep the campers busy with fun activities for kids and grown ups," notes Chris H. about River Meadow Campground RV Park, highlighting its family-friendly atmosphere.

Swimming options: Pools and natural swimming areas provide cooling options during summer months. "Kids were happy with the heated pool, horse rides, and other activities," mentions Russ V. about his family's experience at Sugar Ridge RV Village.

Tips from RVers

Site leveling challenges: Some campgrounds require additional work to level RVs. At Country Bumpkins Campground, one RVer reported, "Our site was slightly uphill, so we had to pull the RV all the way to the front of the site to be able to level."

Connectivity considerations: Internet access varies considerably between campgrounds. At Riverbrook RV & Camping Resort, "The wifi worked great...especially when compared to other campgrounds we've been to," according to Corby M., making it suitable for those needing to stay connected.

Site dimensions: RV site sizes vary significantly between campgrounds. A visitor to Country Bumpkins noted about their sites: "The sites are narrow, a little bigger than a parking space, especially because of the trees in between the sites. We were able to extend our slide out, but not our awning."
