Love camping here!
The first time we camped here was on Columbus Day weekend a number of years ago, and we got to see seals sun bathing on the beach. Are kids thought it was the greatest thing ever! The sites are a little close together and many of them are in direct sunlight , so that isn't the greatest , but if you have an awning, you should be good. We love that it is right on the water, and we can walk to the beach. We also appreciate that it is pet friendly, and our dogs love it too. Write down the street from camp, there is a street setup almost like a boardwalk, with arcades, live music, ice cream, food, and a carousel! There is also a bigger beach, and you are one twin away from New Hampshire. Lots to see and do here!

Close Sites, Loved the River!
My husband and I had a great time here! We went early in the season, so there were not many people there. We met the new owners/managers and they were very friendly. David was attentive and very helpful!
We stayed in the Oak Section at 317. The sites are pretty close together, which is why I gave a 4. We didn’t have neighbors, but I can imagine on a busy weekend, it might get crowded. The Utilities at this site were in an awkward spot, compared to where we wanted the camper.

Oxbow Campground
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!
Dogs must be kept on leashes for safety.
Owners live right there within the park.and take pride in their facility.
A nice family owned and run park promoting peacefulness.

The Road is Loud
My husband and I had a great time here! The owners and managers are amazing. Kind, friendly, attentive! We really appreciated them!
The reason for the 4/5 is due to the road noise, and the neighbors noise. The residents that boarder the campground are a bit loud. We camped at spot 72. If you are tent camping, I would recommend not camping at the 70’s spots. It’s just close to the road, and it can get noisy at times. It quiets down at night, but during peak travel times is a little loud. Head to the back of the camp ground. The bathroom looks further away than it is, but everything is very convenient!

Nice people
Needed a spot to dump. They were one of only a very few places open in March. $20 to dump our tanks.

Forest Glen
Forest Glenn campground
Forest Glenn campground is a very nice campground on Wheelwright pond in Lee New Hampshire! Not well kept up but makes you feel like you’re still camping and not glamping ( glamorous camping ) besides some of the very nice campers here with 2 stories on them! Anyway cutting to the chase, just to let any new comers know that are looking for camping in the Lee area if you so choose to camp at forest Glenn depending who you are or how you approach this place dictates if you will have to feel like your stepping on eggshells your entire stay… the owner is a angry Drunk who is sometimes very nice to others or very nasty, and I personally mostly see him being nasty. A couple years back I wanted to look at the campground to see if this would be a place I wanted to stay at so I walked into the office and asked them if we could look around and the lady was in the process of writing us a pass to drive through. This man comes in and said whats going on so I politely told him that we were interested in his campground and we wanted to look around. He completely flipped out said he doesn't understand, said his campground is his back yard, we can't allow this how would you like if I just walked around your back yard etc etc.... yelling at us the whole time and spitting while screaming and then told us to get out of his sight…. This place mind you is overrun by golf carts and I have heard of incidents where people get hit by them because who cares about the posted 5mph speed limitations if your in a golf carts right? Right! And CLEARLY this place is a Double standard place so you will not be treated equal… and as far as I know this place has secret people who camp supposedly working at camp like the manager and security and the plumber or electrician who look like their helping but while helping they gather information about you to spread it around to others or to cause problems with you and the owner!! Oh how thoughtful… one Morning I was in the office and the owner pulled me into the rec room to have a talk with me about my string lights suggesting I shut them off at night and I’m not allowed to use them anymore. I said “sir why would I do that there are 50 other sites with spot lights and string lights Who are these lights bothering that I need to take them down for? “ he said use them inside the trailer I don’t want to see them on again! “ now tell me how that makes any sense… so I shut them off and it became like a minefield on my site at night with no lights while the campers down a different street get to have theirs on. There is no privacy at this place, things keep going missing, and the sites are packed like sardines with no room for Jesus. There are also people staying here over winter and it’s a seasonal campground tell me how that makes any sense. Anyway definitely an experience to be at where drama hits too close to home and the golf cart parking spots are rolling a little to close to my feet. “ oh sorry my foot slipped “ #welp time to search for another place. Seems to be a trend with almost every campground. Angry owners who automatically cause problems or can’t run their own business place without drug addicts for help ( to say the least me and my wife WILL NOT BE COMING BACK )

Tuxbury Pond RV Campground
This camping trip truly exceeded my expectations
The campground was clean, peaceful, and surrounded by wide open views. During the day, the natural landscape felt refreshing and expansive, and at night, the sky was filled with stars, creating a calm and almost magical atmosphere. The layout of the campsite was well planned, making it easy and comfortable for both beginners and experienced campers to enjoy their stay. One fun thing I did after the trip was use Idea To Image to recreate some of the moments that stood out to me—sunrise over the tents, the warmth of the campfire, and the quiet starry night. It helped me turn those memories into beautiful visuals that really captured the peaceful vibe of the experience. Looking back at them now feels like being transported right back to the campsite. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking to slow down and reconnect with nature.

Guide to Nashua
Cabin camping options exist within an hour's drive of Nashua, New Hampshire, catering to visitors seeking amenities beyond basic tent sites. The region's campgrounds operate primarily from May through October, with some extending into early November. Several properties maintain year-round cabins as alternatives to traditional camping during New Hampshire's variable spring and fall weather patterns.
What to do
Hiking trails: access them from Bear Brook State Park Campground, where numerous trails accommodate different experience levels. "Lots of biking/hiking/walking trails, a nice small pond/beach, boat access, a few basketball courts, a volleyball court and a common huge fire pit added to the fun," notes visitor Migdalia G. The park encompasses 10,000 acres of forest preserve with well-marked paths.
Water activities: explore Pawtuckaway State Park Campground's lake system using rental equipment. "This a a fantastic little camp for if you want to go canoeing or kayaking or boating of any kind! It's set up of three islands and a large majority of the campsites are right on the water," writes Matt R. The park offers boat-in sites and water access across multiple areas.
Historical exploration: use Spacious Skies Minute Man as a base for Revolutionary War sites. "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," reports Ann B., who adds that downtown Concord offers "lots of good coffee spots and restaurants."
What campers like
Privacy between sites: varies significantly at Greenfield State Park Campground. "Very large campground with lots of woods to block you from other campers," notes Erin R. The wooded setting creates natural separation at many sites. Another camper, Ali B., mentions, "Good sized sites with plenty of shade and decent privacy."
Clean facilities: maintained regularly at Pearl Hill State Park Campground. "Bathrooms were clean and well stocked," reports Alan. The campground offers flush toilets and showers. Jean C. adds, "This is a smaller state park campground, with 50 sites, no hookups, but bathrooms offering flush toilets and showers."
Waterfront sites: book early at Pawtuckaway State Park. "The sites on the water book up quickly but they're perfect for fishing and boating. Also, the view!" writes J L. Waterfront locations tend to fill months in advance, particularly for summer weekends. The lake provides swimming and boating access from multiple points within the park.
What you should know
Weekend noise levels: vary between properties. At Greenfield State Park Campground, one visitor noted, "It's a nice clean campground but it's definitely filled with a lot of younger people partying and being loud!" Quiet hours typically run from 10 pm to 7 am at most properties but enforcement varies.
Seasonal restrictions: affect pet policies. At Pawtuckaway State Park Campground, Erin W. discovered: "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." Check current regulations before bringing pets.
Booking windows: open months in advance. Pearl Hill State Park permits reservations through Reserve America. "Reservation through Reserve America was a breeze. Check in till 9:00 pm was convenient," reports Migdalia G. Most parks use similar reservation systems with booking windows opening 4-6 months ahead.
Site conditions: vary with weather. At Pearl Hill, Katie O. found "Our site and others had some difficulty with drainage, as it's been a super wet summer." Sites with elevation tend to drain better during wet periods.
Tips for camping with families
Pool access: available at Friendly Beaver Campground. "This campground was amazing. We went for a weekend and they let us stay later on sunday since it rained all weekend. They have 3 outdoor pools and 1 indoor pool. Lots of activities for the kids," reports Julia B. The indoor pool provides swimming options regardless of weather.
Ranger programs: offered at Bear Brook State Park. "A ranger ran a program to teach about the area fauna which was pretty interesting for kids and adults alike," writes Migdalia G. These educational programs typically run on weekends during peak season.
Animal encounters: available at multiple locations. Friendly Beaver Campground offers a petting area. "They have a few animals the kids can feed. They also have crafts, hayrides and games, playground and other events," notes Kate C. Several properties maintain small animal areas for children.
Bathroom proximity: consider when selecting sites. At Calef Lake Camping Area, Rachel P. found: "We had such a fun time and our dog loves it! The only bad part is we were very far from the bathrooms and tons of mosquitoes." Sites near facilities offer convenience for families with young children.
Tips from RVers
Site sizing: verify dimensions before booking. At Spacious Skies Minute Man, Brittany V. notes: "Site seems level for the most part, made of gravel. Roads are a little interesting to navigate, and definitely aren't the straight lines on their map! Good fire pit and nice facilities."
Hookup options: vary widely between parks. Pearl Hill State Park has limited hookup options, while Calef Lake offers more services. "Sites dispersed, one lane gravel road, 50 amp and 30 amp power available, large number of full time campers," reports Mike H. about Calef Lake.
Navigation challenges: exist at several properties. Jean C. found at Bear Brook that "I was in site 38 and found that the little loop to my campsite was tight to exit (I was towing a 14' teardrop, not a big trailer) and I had to be careful to swing wide at the corner." Larger rigs face similar challenges at wooded campgrounds.
Seasonal sites: dominate some campgrounds. Friendly Beaver Campground maintains many permanent sites. "Mostly seasonal camping," notes Alicia M., which affects the social dynamic at the property.
