RV sites near New Ipswich, New Hampshire lie within the Monadnock Region, an area characterized by rolling hills and small mountains with elevations ranging from 500 to 1000 feet. Summer temperatures typically range from 55-85°F with higher humidity levels from June through August. The region experiences significant seasonal population fluctuations, with campground availability dropping below 15% during peak fall foliage weekends in late September.
What to do
Hiking at local state parks: Wells State Park offers several moderate trails with minimal elevation gain, making them suitable for most ability levels. "We had a nice time here. Camped with a whole bunch of friends. This place has all of the amenities. As well as countless outdoor activities. Fun for the whole family! Swimming, fishing, hiking, climbing (near by), biking," notes a visitor to Pine Acres Resort.
Fishing in nearby ponds: Many campgrounds provide direct water access for catch-and-release fishing. "Small but well organized campground. TT members will find all the comforts of home. Staff is pleasant and helpful. Quiet during the weekdays, picks up over weekends but not to overbearing. Sandy beach by the water has plenty of room to relax out in the sun as well as launch areas to set out in a paddle boat, canoe or row boat," according to a camper at Sandy Beach Campground.
Golf opportunities: Several RV parks include golf facilities or are located near courses. "The campground is 1300 acres owned and operated by the Simonsen family in Derry, NH. The main attraction of this campground is the golf course of 9 or 18 holes. There is a pro shop, golf cart rentals, etc," reports a visitor to Hidden Valley RV and Golf Park.
What campers like
Clean facilities: Many campgrounds maintain well-kept amenities that receive positive feedback. "Beautiful campground, clean facilities, decently priced. The pool, playground, bathrooms, and basketball court were all open and well maintained. We really enjoyed our stay!" writes a guest at Tuxbury Pond RV Campground.
Quieter weekday stays: Campgrounds typically experience lower occupancy Monday through Thursday, creating a more peaceful environment. "Quiet during the weekdays, picks up over weekends but not to overbearing," notes one reviewer about Sandy Beach Campground. Similarly, a visitor to Woodmore Family Campground and RV Park mentioned, "Stayed for over a week off season, mid September. Very quiet during the week, weekend is Party Time when the gang pulls in on Friday Night."
Family-oriented activities: Most parks provide structured events during summer weekends. "It's great, although I was leery because of the rules they are not strict at all, you have to follow the rules but everybody does and it's a good experience, everyone is very friendly the owners are wonderful people and super friendly very helpful it's clean they offer a lot of stuff to do right on a lake in the bottom of the beautiful mountain in New Hampshire," shares a visitor about Woodmore Family Campground.
What you should know
Reservation policies: Most campgrounds require deposits ranging from one night to full payment upfront. "We reserved it months ago and should have suspected something when they demanded payment in full up front," notes one camper about Camp Coldbrook Golf & RV Resorts.
GPS accuracy varies: Navigation apps sometimes direct visitors to incorrect entrances. "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," advises a Tuxbury Pond visitor.
Seasonal camper concentration: Many parks have high percentages of seasonal residents. "It's a great base for sightseeing. There are lots of seasonal campers so if you don't like that atmosphere this is probably not the place for you," notes a camper at Tuxbury Pond RV Campground. Similarly, a visitor to Hidden Valley observed: "Nice RV campground with alot of seasonal residents."
Tips for camping with families
Playground availability: Check for age-appropriate equipment before booking. "We had a wonderful time tent camping. The grounds were beautiful and the sites were a good size. Very happy with the facility and will be returning for sure," writes a visitor to Woodmore Family Campground. Another camper notes: "We had a great time relaxing around the campfire with another family. The playground was a hit for our kids!"
Water recreation options: Swimming areas vary significantly in quality and maintenance. "The sandy beach is nice but the swimming area is quite weedy. Our biggest issue though was the over-abundance of gypsy moth worms," shares a visitor to Sandy Beach Campground. Another notes: "We enjoyed our stay. The first site we got was way too small for our tent and they accommodated us and gave us a choice of two others to pick from. A lot of seasonal people but friendly. Playground is on the beach."
Weekend entertainment: Many campgrounds offer structured activities during summer weekends. "A staff member came to our site and let us know that there is an 18+ comedy show but there was a children's movie being played on a big screen on the other side of the campground," reports a visitor at Field and Stream RV Park.
Tips from RVers
Site leveling challenges: Many campgrounds require significant blocking for level setups. "Sites in back are ok with trees and different levels. Sites are a little closer than I usually find. Neighbors are very considerate on site privacy," according to a Woodmore Family Campground visitor.
Electric service reliability: Power fluctuations occur at some locations during high demand periods. "They offer all year round camping. Great site right next to the water. Sites are clean and well equipped. Coin laundry with nice machine," notes a Field and Stream visitor.
Maneuvering larger rigs: Some parks have tight roads that require careful navigation. "There are 300 camping sites with full hookups. Very reasonably priced at $40 per night. A lot of the campers are seasonal which is May - October each year. I did not see any tents there, only hard-sided units," reports a visitor to Hidden Valley RV and Golf Park.
