Best Campgrounds near Piermont, NH

Campgrounds near Piermont, New Hampshire range from established resorts to primitive sites within the White Mountain National Forest. The area includes full-service facilities like Moose Hillock Camping Resort in Warren and Lost River Valley Campground, both offering cabin accommodations alongside traditional tent and RV sites. River Meadow Campground in North Haverhill provides glamping options approximately 10 miles from Piermont, while several state park campgrounds like Lafayette Place in Franconia Notch offer more rustic experiences with fewer amenities but direct access to hiking trails.

Most campgrounds in the region operate seasonally from May through mid-October due to New Hampshire's cold winters and spring mud season. Reservations are strongly recommended during summer months and holiday weekends when facilities reach capacity quickly. The White Mountain National Forest campgrounds typically have shorter operating seasons than private facilities, though some like Hancock Campground remain open year-round for winter camping enthusiasts. Road access varies significantly, with some sites requiring navigation of steep mountain roads. Cell service can be limited or non-existent, particularly in valley locations. One visitor noted, "My site was in the row closest to the road where there was truck noise for much of the night. I recommend getting a site as far away from the road as possible."

Waterfront camping represents a significant draw throughout the region, with several campgrounds situated along rivers. The Pastures Campground in nearby Orford offers sites along the Connecticut River with boat access. Campers frequently mention the natural beauty and recreational opportunities as highlights of their stays. "Situated deep in the forests, the camp is surrounded by spacious fields and wild nature," shared one reviewer about a private camping area. Wildlife encounters are common, with several campgrounds posting bear safety guidelines. Noise levels vary considerably between remote forest sites and those near highways like the Kancamagus. Family-friendly amenities such as swimming pools, playgrounds, and organized activities are more common at private resorts, while state and federal campgrounds typically offer more basic facilities with an emphasis on natural surroundings.

    Quechee State Park Campground

    Great stop on any trip

    Clean, good facilities. Price has gone up to $38 a night. Got there close to the time the rangers left for the night, Nick was really kind to make sure I got situated before he left. Walking distance from the antique mall which is a stop everyone should make as well as good food and pizza right nearby. Great spot to stop at on any trip

    Gunstock Campground

    Great Spot

    Fairly extensive camp ground associated with Gunstock ski area on central New Hampshire. We arrived without a reservation a bit after the office closed, but Elena, the manager came out to let us in and allowed us to check in. She was great. Dogs must have proof of rabies vaccine. Very nice showers. Beautiful fall colors.

    Riverside Camping & RV Resort

    Impeccibly Maintained

    Easily one of the most well maintained sites we have visited. The host was attentive and gracious. Beautiful nature trails behind the campground. I found one that lead to a beach by the river, perfect for reading and relaxing.

    Jellystone Park™ Glen Ellis

    Read before booking

    PLEASE READ BEFORE GOING We went to Jellystone Park at in Glen NH. We originally booked from Sunday to thursday. We left on Tuesday due to several issues with the cabin that the office staff refused to fix. Issues we had was 1. Cabin was filthy and had bugs inside. 2. Stove top wasnt working. 3. Fridge smelled so bad I had to wash it with warm water and dish soap. 4. Our cabin reeked like cigarettes to the point I couldn't bath my kids because when the bathroom got steamy the smell got sooo bad. I tried to adress the issues and was told they had a no smoke policy so its not their issue if it smelled because they did their part in putting a policy down. For it being filthy I was told they trust their cleaner so it qas me that made it filthy..(attached is one picture that I have this is just the bathroom on our first day their. Everything was covered in dirt, sand and soo dusty and bugs everywhere). I first spoke to James who yelled and was saying ridiculous excuses as to why its ok. Then the manager(dont remember name but she was older and blonde hair) screamed at me while I had my 2 year old with me. I was telling her calmly and very nice my concerns to which she was yelling to get out of the office. Then I was threatened to have the cops called if I complained again. I lost alot of money I cant afford to loose. But most important I was want to make people aware. I told them the website should state these things to be fair cause if I knew this i wouldn't have paid since they said its normal for stoves not to work and its out of their controll if someone smokes in the cabin. They said no one would stay if they posted those things. I left litterally shaking and crying because I couldn't believe it. They are nice if you dont complain. Discusting customer service horrendous management. Will be reporting everywhere already let my friends know so they dont go next year.

Guide to Piermont

Located along the Connecticut River in western New Hampshire, Piermont sits between the foothills of the White Mountains and the Vermont border. The area ranges from 407 feet above sea level along the river to over 2,000 feet at the surrounding hills, creating diverse camping conditions. Fall camping temperatures can drop below freezing at night, while summer daytime temperatures typically range from 75-85°F with frequent afternoon thunderstorms.

What to do

Hiking to local ponds: From Ricker Pond State Park Campground in nearby Vermont, access multiple trails through Groton State Forest. "If you're looking for easy to strenuous hikes that can be accessed from one place, this is the spot! You can access at least 6 of the NH48 from this campground, numerous waterfalls, two AMC huts, and several ponds and lakes all within hiking distance," explains a hiker who stayed at a similar campground in the region.

Water activities on calm ponds: Many campgrounds offer paddling opportunities away from motorized boats. "The pond is serene and a great place to swim, paddle, explore, and fish. If you paddle or swim to the other side of the camp ground, there is a huge rock with a rope swing," shares a camper at Ricker Pond State Park.

Winter camping options: Unlike many seasonal campgrounds, Hancock Campground remains open year-round. "Stayed here for two nights in late December. Site #40 along the river was close to the bathroom yet had plenty of privacy from other sites," notes one winter camper. Temperatures frequently drop below zero during winter months, requiring proper cold-weather gear.

What campers like

Riverfront tent sites: Many campers specifically seek out water-adjacent sites. At Pine Haven, a camper reports, "Loved our time here! We had a site right on the river and the view was amazing. The sites are pretty well spaced apart and well kept." The campground is located about 18 miles from Piermont.

Unplugged atmosphere: Cell service is limited throughout the camping areas near Piermont. "There is absolutely no cell service for miles, so plan accordingly," notes a visitor to Ricker Pond State Park. This creates a truly disconnected camping experience that many visitors appreciate.

Large, wooded sites: White Mountain National Forest Wildwood Campground receives consistent praise for spacious sites. "This past week we stayed here as a family on site #9. Had 2 cars and a dog. Can't beat the price at $20 a night. Sites are relatively spread out so they do offer some privacy and you don't feel too close to the neighbors," shares a recent camper. Most forest service sites around Piermont range from $18-25 per night.

What you should know

Seasonal operation limitations: Most campgrounds operate from mid-May through mid-October with specific opening dates. "Pine Haven" operates from "May 15 to October 15," while other campgrounds like Lafayette Place Campground run from "May 17 to October 15."

Road noise impacts: Traffic can disrupt otherwise peaceful settings at several campgrounds. "However, the noise from Highway 93 is intolerable! 18-wheelers blowing by at all hours of the day and night, making it very difficult to enjoy a restful sleep," reports a camper at Lafayette Place Campground. Sites further from main roads generally offer more peace.

Insect considerations: Bees and other insects can be problematic at certain times. One camper at Hancock Campground noted: "Our site was completely swarmed with bees. We checked a few vacant sites to see if maybe it was just our site, but we found them all around, including all over the cars in the lot."

Tips for camping with families

Water play opportunities: River Meadow Campground in North Haverhill offers river access about 10 miles from Piermont. "My family loves this campground last 4th of July week. It's right on the CT river and they have canoes to rent. 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 haha," shares an enthusiastic parent.

Look for organized activities: Family-oriented campgrounds offer structured entertainment. A camper at Moose Hillock Camping Resort noted, "This campground was clean, nice sites, private, amenities galore, friendly staff and AMAZING pool!!!!! Will definitely be back annually." However, another points out, "Little to no activities for kiddos. The pool is the main attraction and really great but gets very very busy."

Consider site location carefully: Families should check site placement on campground maps. "The playground is across this busy road which I find very dangerous IMO," warns a parent at Lost River Valley Campground. Sites near facilities reduce walking distances for children but may have more foot traffic.

Tips from RVers

Size limitations to consider: Many campgrounds in the Piermont area have restrictions for larger rigs. Lafayette Place Campground is marked as "NO big-rig-friendly" while others like Jacobs Brook Campground offer limited large-site availability.

Terrain challenges: Many campgrounds have hilly approaches to sites. A camper at Moose Hillock notes, "The campground is very hilly and kids are ripping around in pedal and motorized bikes and scooters which is fine but no control at all in regards to speed and helmets." RVers should call ahead to discuss specific site grades and access.

Limited hookup availability: Only select campgrounds offer full hookups. When available, electrical service ranges from 15-50 amp depending on the campground, with water and sewer connections varying by site. Reserve well in advance for premium hookup sites, especially during peak summer months.
