    SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

    Several cabin campgrounds surround New Castle, New Hampshire, including Wakeda Campground in Hampton Falls and Pawtuckaway State Park in Nottingham. Cabin camping near New Castle ranges from rustic sites with fire pits to fully equipped cabins with electricity, water hookups, and bathroom facilities with showers. Sites are typically situated among tall pine trees, providing natural shade and privacy. Most cabins accommodate 4-6 people with basic furnishings and an outdoor picnic table. "We stayed in one of the cabins and it served its purpose especially during a passing storm. It was nice to sit on the front porch and watch the storm," noted a visitor who stayed at Wakeda.

    Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Old Stage Campground in Dover and Exeter Elms Campground offer cabins with varying amenities. Most require reservations, especially during the peak summer season from May through September. Pet policies differ by location - Wakeda Campground and Tuxbury Pond RV Campground allow pets at their cabin sites, while Cape Neddick Oceanside Campground prohibits pets. "Great campground. Well kept, clean bathrooms," mentioned one guest about Dixons Coastal Maine Campground in Cape Neddick, which offers cabin rentals within a short drive of beaches.

    Most cabins include beds but require visitors to bring their own linens, towels, and toiletries. Cooking facilities vary widely - some cabins provide basic kitchenettes while others offer only outdoor fire pits or grills. Many campgrounds including Wakeda have on-site stores selling firewood, ice, and basic provisions. Larger grocery stores can be found in Exeter, Dover, and Portsmouth for more substantial shopping needs. Guests staying at cabins near the coast often take advantage of proximity to seafood restaurants, as the cabins are typically located within 15 minutes of Hampton Beach, York Beach, and other coastal destinations.

      Pawtuckaway State Park Campground

      Large and friendly park with plenty of water activity opportunities

      My first time experiencing a park in the New Hampshire Park system. We went down with a group. Pawtuckaway State Park offers a variety of landscapes, with something to do and see for everyone. The park includes a large family beach on the lake. There are many opportunities for hiking, with trails leading to many special points of interest, including a mountaintop fire tower; an extensive marsh where beavers, deer, and great blue herons may be seen.

      The park lines the shore of beautiful Pawtuckaway Lake.  The 192 sites are wooded and many provide views of the lake.  Each campsite has an open fire ring, picnic table, flat areas for a tent, and a parking space. The bathhouses are equipped with running water, flush toilets, and 24 hour showers.  There are no hook-ups at any of the campsites. The park also has a camp store where canoe and kayaks are available, as well as a plublic canoe and kayak launch. Five cabins are available; each sleeps six people, has electricity, and includes a fire ring and picnic table. Pets are not allowed in the campground or beach area of the park.

      Winding River Campground

      Fun laid back place. This campground has a lot of potential. Some info on their website and Facebook isn’t accurate.

      I would like to share my experience this past weekend at Winding River in Exeter NH. My family of 3 Stayed at tent site 523 in the Oak area. We also had family at 553 and 554 and Cabin 2.

      About site 523: I clearly had one of the largest and most private tent sites. It was set back with a long driveway tucked between 522 and 524. It’s a very steep drop into the river making most sites a little nerve wracking with a little one. Online it said water available nearby. Most sites had a hookup but there wasn’t a one on my site. It looked like there may have been one to share on the road, but I didn’t end up needing to figure that out.

      Tent sites 522 and 524: Along with most of the tent sites these sites were very close to each other, much smaller and closer to the road. I wished my family members had gotten 552 and 553 as they blended together nicely if you are tenting in side by side spaces. The ground was very rocky making staking tents down difficult. They were right next to the bathroom which was convenient but loud. Ventilation in the bathroom was not good so the doors were propped open much of the time and loud hand dryers.

      Shower:

      • This is the smaller of the two bathrooms in the campground. There are 2 showers there. Each with a single insufficient curtain and no hooks on the wall or bench to place things down. Water was hot enough, pressure was ok if you set it to the high power massage-like setting.
      • The showers in other bathroom (near the town center area) had a door and two curtains. Some had hooks (some of which were broken). I almost tripped going in and out of these bathroom stalls because they are raised up but there is no marking on the ground to indicate that.

      Cabin 2: Ac worked well. There was a good sized bed downstairs, smaller beds in two lofts. I was surprised the couch didn’t pull out. Fridge and all dishes were nice and clean. All the cabins seem to have different back porch setups. This porch was smaller than C1. There was a propane grill that smelled rancid with sooo much caked on The burners. The location of the ceiling fan under the other lights in the ceiling gave them a flashing effect that really bothered me.

      Pros:

      • Lower price compared to other campgrounds (but I don’t feel like I got everything advertised on the website)
      • Two playgrounds, both were nice.
      • Water slide was fun
      • We arrived Thursday at the gate and were told how to get to our site, to set up and then come over to the office which was nice.

      Cons:

      • The river is very low and yucky so none of the boating or fishing advertised was possible. likely causing the massive amount of mosquitos.
      • The whole arcade building was was “out of order”
      • The laundry room had two washers (one was broken) and two dryers 2.50 each per load. Not sufficient for a campground this size (especially when people leave their clothes in the machine for 30 mins after they’re done!)
      • Camp store was poorly stocked (multiple empty coolers).
      • Ice $3 per SMALL bag.
      • Wood $10 per bundle and rules say you can’t bring from off-site. I saw people with huge metal bins of wood but was never offered that option when I payed for multiple bundles.
      • Camp store closes at 3 on Sunday and doesn’t open until 11 am during the week (which is also checkout). This made it a little confusing when I wanted to return the golf cart. They have a small area with icecream that is scooped and maybe a kitchen. I never saw it open but I think the sign said open morning to 12 and then again in the evening.
      • The pool was green and cloudy on day 3. I called the office and was told they had just shocked it and that was a result of the copper. I am not informed enough on pool safety so I opted out of swimming on the hottest day of our stay. My son was bummed.
      • Planned activities were only scheduled for Friday and Saturday, when online mentions “daily”. During adult kareoke there were plenty of kids and really poor wifi (wasting so much time between songs).

      And just to add:

      • Staff I encountered was friendly enough, but It would be nice if they wore shirts to identify themselves.
      • Golf cart was great, but cost more than the site per night.
      • Pedal go-carts were available for rent (I didn’t ask a price).

      Lorraine Park Campground — Harold Parker State Forest

      Nice Wooded Campground in Awesome Area

      We stayed at Harold Parker State Forest Campground during Memorial Day Weekend. Reservation through Reserve America was a breeze. Check in till 9:00 pm was convenient. Checkout by 11:00 am but we paid for an additional night to be able to leave at night the day we checked out. Totally worth it!

      Nice large campsites. The sites’ privacy is very diverse. You could be tucked away from everyone or closer together depending on the site you choose but they are all pretty decent in size. All sites have water which is a plus. All have a fire pit/box, charcoal bbq and a picnic table. Most of them are drive in. 

      Quiet hours from 10 am to 7 am. No alcohol allowed (although I didn’t see an actual enforcement of this rule and guess it’ll happen only if people act out). Rangers are constantly patrolling. Felt pretty safe at night. You can’t bring wood. Bundles are $5 each and it burns really well. 

      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. A ranger ran a program to teach about the area fauna which was pretty interesting for kids and adults alike. 

      Bathrooms were fairly clean although small and showers were free! Some sites were right in front of a lovely pond and there were many group sites available as well. 

      The location is pretty good. Salem, Andover, Boston Are accesible while staying here. Close proximity to Richardson Ice Cream which you CANT miss if you decide to stay.  They have cheap but amazing ice cream, mini golf and battling cages which was entertaining for my whole crew. 

      It rained a lot during one night of our stay and the site (301) did not flooded at all. All sites seemed in pretty good shape the morning after as well. 

      Beautiful and will recommend to families with small kids, groups and couples too.

      Sandy Pines Campground

      Pristine beautiful campground

      This is high end camping! Cleanest nicest bathrooms and showers I’ve ever seen camping. Also fun game areas and a beautiful store which has good food too! The sites are very nice and not too close together. We tent camp but they also offer small cabins which looked adorable and glamping tents. Easy access to local trails and tourist spots. A fantastic campground I hope to return to

      Bear Brook State Park Campground

      Convenient and fun

      The park was easy to get to, only about half an hour from Manchester. It has kayak rentals and a very well stocked camp store, that was close to the camp sites. Our campsite was only about a hundred feet away from the camp store but still felt private.

      Our campsite also had a fire pit and a picnic table which were great.

      The size of the sites varies quite a bit though as well as their isolation, some were out in the open.

      For cell service: ATT seems to have pretty decent coverage but not Verizon.

      Old Orchard Beach Campground

      Huge campground with lots of sites and amenities.

      Old Orchard Beach is a fun, family-oriented campground located in the fun little beach town of Old Orchard Beach. Old Orchard is known for their amusement park, arcade, pier, fun downtown, and expansive beach with seven miles of room to walk. Here you can stroll along the streets listening to the melodic sounds of an arcade, buy an airbrushed t-shirt and eat pier fries and fried dough. And the best thing is there is a trolley that takes you from the campground to the beach so you don’t have to deal with parking. 

      When the summer season is in full swing, there is lots to do in the campground and at the nearby Atlantic Ocean beach. There are lots of amenities in the campground like a basketball court, Wiffle ball field, horseshoes, badminton, playgrounds, arcade, swimming pools and hot tub, group bonfire, and dog park. The campground is quite large and divided into a variety of sections, some areas are all seasonal campers and others are for transients. The campground offers RV sites, cabin rentals, park model sites, and simple tent sites. We liked the sections in the back (Bear Brook and Black Forest) which are set away from the entrance and the majority of activities. We visited in the off-season but can only image the park gets pretty busy especially in the front section where the swimming pool, arcade, camp store, and other activities are located. The campground is gated which limits who can come into the park. If you want to have guests, plan on shelling out a bit of cash as it is $8/day for kids and $10 for adults and$12 for overnight guests. 

      Our gravel site was perfectly level with no potholes and the roads leading to our site were easy to navigate in our 45’ motorhome. The patio was gravel and there was some grass between campsites. Our picnic table was clean and not made of old rotten wood with sagging benches. There was not much shade at our site which was fine with us because it was October when we visited and wanted the sun. We were able to pick up wifi at our site because we were close to a tower. Our Verizon phone and hotspot worked great as did the parks cable television. The campground is just one mile from Old Orchard Beach and close to Route 1 which is the main corridor leading up and down the Maine coast. 

      The nearby town of Biddeford has some great restaurants(Palace Dinner, Run of the Mill Public House and Brewery, and Dunston Tab and Table). While the campground is large enough for a good long walk, we prefer to walk the wooded trails at Ferry Beach State Park. If you are looking for something for kids to do there is Funtown Splashtown which is a large water and amusement park and you can get discount tickets at the campgrounds camp store

      Lorraine Park Campground — Harold Parker State Forest

      Great place to Relax

      Stayed at site 56 with my tent in an RV site. The site was flat. Had running water,grill and fire pit. There was plenty of space. This site was very secluded. Comfort station was a nice casual walk.

      Bear Brook State Park Campground

      Bearbrook Pros and Cons

      Con: Signage is awful! Hard to find park, office and cabins! Once there, Looong drive to both campground and Cabins.

      Pro: cabins are on a remote lake. Perfect for star gazing! Rustic but comfy (beds) cabins. Bring all your own stuff. No electricity, so no lights. Our cabin had a steep path. Others did not.

      Thousand Trails Moody Beach

      Great location friendly staff

      We came in in October, the foliage is beautiful on the “wooded” sites. There are new sites with gravel and no trees as well, we had our choice. The wooded sites are pull through and back in, depending on the row. There are cabins and rentals as well. Fire pits and charcoals grills at all wooded sites. Family friendly facility with a playground. Lounge closed for Covid, pool closed for season. Events and activities are run by management. Great location for beach and stores.

    Guide to New Castle

    Cabin accommodation options near New Castle, New Hampshire range from waterfront properties to wooded retreats within a 30-minute drive. Sites are generally available from May through October, with peak season running mid-June through August. The region combines coastal access with forested camping environments, creating variable conditions where temperatures can drop to the 40s even during summer nights.

    What to do

    Kayaking at Pawtuckaway State Park: Located in Nottingham, the park offers excellent paddling opportunities. "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," notes Matt R. about Pawtuckaway State Park.

    Hiking nearby trails: Explore the natural landscape surrounding cabin accommodations. "Not far from Boston, making this a nice escape but also a pretty crowded day use park and campground. Excellent hiking, beach, wildlife-filled wetlands, girding, geology, forests, and water to enjoy," reports Harry H. about his Pawtuckaway experience.

    Beach visits from camp: Cabins provide easy access to coastal attractions. "This is a cute little place-good for tents and smaller campers, though there are some 'field' sites. Pool available; short drive to beach. Will visit again!" shares Carolyn B. about Dixons Coastal Maine Campground in Cape Neddick.

    What campers like

    Waterfront sites: Many cabin campers value water access above other amenities. "The sites on the water book up quickly but they're perfect for fishing and boating. Also, the view!" states J.L. about camping at Pawtuckaway State Park.

    Privacy in wooded sites: Tree coverage provides seclusion at several cabin campgrounds. "The campground was splendid with old tall, pine trees everywhere. They offered electric, water, and sewer hook up, trading post that had camping goods and snacks, WiFi hotspot, pool table, and lounging area," mentions a visitor at Wakeda Campground.

    Proximity to attractions: Location is often cited as a key benefit. "The location is great being 10 minutes or so from Hampton beach. Lots of little farms in the area too," writes a camper about their cabin experience. "This is a great base for sightseeing," adds Betty H. about Tuxbury Pond RV Campground.

    What you should know

    Reservation requirements: Advance booking is essential, especially for waterfront cabins. "We stayed here twice, once in September 2013 and then again in September 2018 and it is one of my favorites...Those were wonderful sites, level with great views of the lake," explains Ellen C., highlighting the importance of securing choice locations.

    Bathroom facilities vary: Some cabin areas have modern facilities while others are more rustic. "The closest bath/shower was well kept, with four bathroom stalls and the one huge shower, I imagine that the wait times in the summer months might be a hassle but in the off season it was hardly used," notes one camper.

    Seasonal limitations: Many campgrounds close completely in winter. "Beautiful and very well maintained. The staff is awesome. There are SO many amazing activities for the whole family," says Joseph I. about Beaver Dam Campground, which operates mid-May through Columbus Day.

    Tips for camping with families

    Water activities for kids: Pools and beaches provide entertainment options. "We took our family of 5, and my mom for a weekend getaway! It was perfect. So much to do. Very quiet at night, which is helpful in such a family environment," shares Emily B. about Moody Beach RV Campground.

    Structured recreation: Look for campgrounds with organized activities. "Kid. Accommodating. Family friendly. Kid infested. Safe. Scenic. Perfect," summarizes Lyndzie O. about Old Stage Campground in Dover.

    Safety considerations: Waterfront cabins require extra vigilance with children. "It's a very steep drop into the river making most sites a little nerve wracking with a little one," cautions a parent about Winding River Campground in Exeter.

    Tips from RVers

    Site selection matters: When booking a cabin or RV site, research specific locations. "Consider the Thousand Trails membership when booking this site. Our annual membership fees basically covered what it would cost to camp here for two weeks... However, the spots are pretty tight," advises Paulina B. about Moody Beach.

    Seasonal camper presence: Many campgrounds have permanent seasonal residents. "We were in the wooded area, but those camping on the outskirts seemed able to utilize their Starlink," adds the same camper, noting technology considerations based on location within the campground.

    Amenities and hook-ups: Most cabin areas offer electric hookups but other services vary. "Great employees, clean reliable power. No issues great spread out sites," reports Zachary W., highlighting the reliability of utilities that can be important for those traveling with electronics or medical devices.
