    State parks and private campgrounds surround Londonderry, New Hampshire, creating a diverse camping landscape within a 30-minute drive. Bear Brook State Park in Deerfield, New Hampshire's largest state park, offers wooded sites under towering pines with access to multiple ponds, hiking trails, and mountain biking opportunities. Closer to town, Hidden Valley RV and Golf Park in Derry provides a convenient base with full hookups. Pawtuckaway State Park in Nottingham features lakeside camping with opportunities for kayaking, swimming, and hiking to a fire tower. The region supports various camping styles from tent-only areas to full-service RV resorts, cabins, and yurts.

    Most campgrounds in the area operate seasonally from May through October, with limited options available during winter months. Advance reservations are strongly recommended, especially for waterfront sites and holiday weekends. As one camper noted about Bear Brook State Park, "The campground is tucked away in the woods so you really feel like you're away from the cities in the area." Cell phone coverage varies significantly throughout the region, with many state parks offering limited connectivity. New Hampshire state parks have varying pet policies, with some prohibiting dogs during peak season (Memorial Day to Columbus Day). Mosquitoes can be abundant, particularly in wooded areas near water, so insect repellent is essential equipment.

    Waterfront sites at lakes and ponds receive consistently high ratings from visitors but require early booking. Many campgrounds feature spacious, wooded sites that provide privacy between neighbors. A reviewer at Pawtuckaway State Park mentioned, "Generally large and level sites, many with water access. Make your reservation well in advance if you're planning to visit during peak season." Family-friendly amenities are common, including playgrounds, beaches, and ranger-led programs. Quiet hours (typically 10pm-7am) are generally well-observed according to visitor reports. Bathroom facilities vary widely in quality and maintenance, with some offering free showers while others require quarters for hot water. Campground stores typically stock essentials and firewood, which must be purchased locally rather than brought in.

      Winter Island Park

      Good view

      Best part of our Salem trip by far. We spent Sunday evening out here after walking around downtown and this was a completely different experience. Kids loved the playground and just running around exploring the beach and rocks. Way more interesting than the shops.

      Quiet, actual waterfront, old fort and lighthouse right there. The young lady in the office was really nice and super helpful too.

      A couple things to know: the RV field spots are really close together. Like 15-20 feet from my trailer to the neighbor. In my opinion the parking lot spots with the ocean view are better. And when they warn you about the raccoons, they’re not joking. They shredded my trash.

      If you’re in Salem with kids, still worth coming out here. This is the part they’ll remember.

      York Beach Camper Park

      Cozy and clean

      Get a site in the back with the trees if possible. They are much bigger sites and more secluded. Cash only ($61) but there is an ATM in the office. The manager was very helpful giving me a local map and telling me the sites to see. She recommended a few restaurants for great food.

      Lorraine Park Campground — Harold Parker State Forest

      Lorraine Campground

      What a gem of a campground. The park staff are very helpful and friendly. The facilities: bathrooms, showers, dump station and trash receptacles are spotless. They offer nature oriented fun activities for all ages! And they even have playgrounds for the littles to play on. The sites are are mixed use, offering tent only, RV with electric, and group sites. They also have yurts that can rented, which come with a full size bed and bunk beds.

      Berry's Grove Campground

      Campground good -Management Bad

      This RV park was a small little park with a little lake to fish and swim (if you're brave enough) Overall had a pleasant experience until 2 weeks after we had left.

      After paying and calling to ensure we were all squared away before leaving with a good to go and a zero-dollar balance, we left. 2 weeks later they charged my card again without letting me know.  I figured it must have been a mistake since I had the paperwork with a zero-dollar balance AND I called to ensure we were all set.   

      Turns out it was purposeful- management decided that there was an additional admin fee after I had left the property.  Note that this was not anything to do with any mess or damage left behind -That I could completely understand but this was a random additional charge. They went ahead and charged without any warning and with no real explanation. 

      I stayed here for 2 months and the first month had no such issues and no additional payments due.

      If you stay here- be aware that they can charge your card EVEN IF you call and make sure you are all set AND have proof of a zero dollar balance. 

      They will say its in the contract and while there is an admin fee section in the contract- it does not state anywhere that it will be charged later, not included in your original bill or anything that would make charging your card randomly acceptable - especially with a zero dollar balance.

      I'm not sure how many times they do this to people but the charge was on the smaller side, so they probably get away with this A LOT.

      Berry's Grove Campground

      Dimension To The Trip

      We brought the boat along and having water access added an entirely different dimension to the trip. Instead of loading everything into the truck and driving somewhere for the day, we could make being on the water part of the camping experience itself.

      Great Meadow Campground

      Great seasonal campground

      This is our 2nd year as seasonal campers and it is wonderful. The seasons sites are very spacious and most have plenty of shade/sun. The transient site are not as spacious but have grassy areas and plenty of sun. There are no tent sites at this time

    Kayaking at Pawtuckaway State Park: Access multiple waterways with rental options available on-site. The park features a unique system of islands connected by waterways.

It's set up of three islands and a large majority of the campsites are right on the water."

    Mountain biking at Bear Brook State Park: Explore over 40 miles of dedicated biking trails directly accessible from the campground. One visitor noted, "Mountain biking is awesome here, can ride right off the campground and onto the trails!" The park offers trails for various skill levels with both technical terrain and beginner-friendly routes.

    Beach time at Salisbury Beach State Reservation: Located 40 minutes east of Londonderry, this oceanfront campground provides direct beach access. "We were situated next to a kind family who lent us fire starter and offered us some of their snacks they were making when we arrived," shared Meg T., who added, "I would absolutely return again, this time to check out the beach and surrounding area!"

    Historical site visits: Explore Revolutionary War sites and museums within 30 minutes of Londonderry. The Minute Man Campground in Littleton, MA serves as an ideal base for history enthusiasts. A camper mentioned, "Concord is only 30 minute drive away with two full days of revolutionary historic sites, and famous people home tours such as Louisa May Alcott."

    What campers like

    Waterfront sites: Premium lakeside spots at Pawtuckaway State Park offer direct water access and scenic views. "The sites on the water book up quickly but they're perfect for fishing and boating. Also, the view!" reports J L. These prime locations typically require booking 3-6 months in advance during peak season.

    Secluded, wooded campsites: Many campgrounds feature sites set back in forested areas providing privacy. At Wakeda Campground, campers appreciate the natural setting. As one visitor describes, "We were overwhelmed by the beautiful massive forest. The campground was splendid with old tall, pine trees everywhere."

    Clean facilities: Campers consistently rate bathroom cleanliness as a priority. Wakeda Campground receives particular praise in this area: "The campground and bathrooms are kept very clean." This sentiment is echoed at Harold Parker State Forest where a reviewer noted, "Bathrooms were fairly clean although small and showers were free!"

    Family-friendly activities: Most campgrounds offer structured recreation options. At Calef Lake Camping Area, a visitor reported, "Friendly campground, kids and adult paint the weekend we were there. Awesome that they have a dog pond and the fishing was good there too."

    What you should know

    Seasonal camping restrictions: Most campgrounds operate from May through October with limited or no winter camping options. Bear Brook State Park typically closes in "late October" according to their website, while Wakeda Campground operates from "May 15 to October 1."

    Reservation requirements: High-demand weekends require advance planning, particularly for holiday weekends. At Harold Parker State Forest, a camper advised, "Reservation through Reserve America was a breeze. Check in till 9:00 pm was convenient."

    Variable cell coverage: Service is unreliable throughout the region's campgrounds. A camper at Tuxbury Pond RV Resort reported, "Forget about cellphone signal, it was 0," while others noted spotty service that varied by carrier.

    Pet policies differ significantly: Some campgrounds restrict dogs entirely or during peak seasons. A Pawtuckaway State Park visitor shared this frustration: "Tried to plan ahead this year and get a prime site to learn they don't allow dogs anywhere in the campground during summer months."

    Tips for camping with families

    Scout playground facilities: Several campgrounds offer dedicated play areas for children. At Friendly Beaver Campground, "They have 3 outdoor pools (sports, toddler, regular) plus an indoor pool for rainy or chilly days. They have a few animals the kids can feed. They also have crafts, hayrides and games, playground and other events."

    Choose campgrounds with organized activities: Weekend programming can keep children engaged. One visitor noted about Wakeda Campground, "They offered electric, water, and sewer hook up, trading post that had camping goods and snacks, WiFi hotspot, pool table, and lounging area. They also had a game room, miniature golf, coffee shop and dog park."

    Consider proximity to restrooms: When camping with young children, bathroom access matters. At Bear Brook State Park, "The bath and shower house was well maintained and a short walk from 22," according to Ellen C., making middle-of-the-night bathroom trips more manageable.

    Look for water features: Swimming options can make or break a family camping trip during summer months. Pawtuckaway State Park offers "a nice stretch of sandy beach at the campground as well as canoes and kayaks for rent," according to one visitor.

    Tips from RVers

    Watch for hookup placement: At some campgrounds, utility connections can be awkwardly positioned. A visitor to Hidden Valley RV and Golf Park noted, "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."

    Check size limitations: Campground roads and site dimensions vary considerably. Minute Man Campground gets positive reviews for accessibility: "Easy to maneuver even with a big rig," according to one RVer.

    Plan for dump station timing: During busy checkout periods, wait times can exceed 30 minutes. At Salisbury Beach State Reservation, they offer a "big dump site, and good prices," according to one visitor, though they recommend avoiding peak checkout times.

    Consider seasonal rates: Some campgrounds offer weekly rate discounts. At Spacious Skies Minute Man, "If you stay for 6 days, the 7th is free," according to Molly B., representing significant savings for longer stays.
