Best RV Parks & Resorts near Pike, NH

Several RV parks dot the White Mountains region surrounding Pike, New Hampshire, offering varied options for motorhome travelers. Riverbrook RV & Camping Resort in nearby Rumney provides big-rig friendly sites with full hookups including 50-amp service, while Newfound RV Park in Bridgewater operates seasonally from May through October with water, electric, and sewer connections on level gravel pads. River Meadow Campground RV Park in North Haverhill features spacious pull-through sites that accommodate larger rigs, complete with full hookup options. Cannon Mountain RV Park in Franconia Notch State Park remains open year-round with 30/50-amp electric service, water hookups, and a sanitary dump station. Sites at most parks include fire rings and picnic tables, with varying degrees of shade and privacy. As one RVer noted about Newfound RV Park, "Our compacted ground site was level and had a dedicated patch of grass with a small tree. We personally felt that the sites were all well-spaced."

Seasonal availability varies significantly across the region's RV campgrounds. Most parks operate from May through mid-October, with only Cannon Mountain RV Park offering year-round access. Cell service fluctuates throughout the mountainous terrain; visitors report Verizon and AT&T coverage ranging from "decent" to "minimal" depending on location. Navigation to some RV parks requires careful planning, particularly for larger motorhomes, as mountain roads can present tight turns and elevation changes. Dump stations are available at most parks, though Great Escapes RV Resort lacks this amenity. Pet policies are generally accommodating, with designated dog areas at several locations. Advance reservations become essential during peak foliage season when parks fill quickly. Winter camping options remain limited, with most facilities closing after Columbus Day weekend. For RVers requiring reliable internet access, several parks offer WiFi, though connection quality varies substantially based on proximity to office buildings and overall usage.

    Scenic View Campground

    Great experience!

    For a smaller campground it was everything we wanted; it was quiet; and the sites were a good size for our pop up; we stayed at site 20; which was the biggest along the waterfront. There is a nice walking trail and peaceful water view sites. The staff was super friendly and made our stay very enjoyable! Sites of all sizes from tent sites to large pull through sites for the big rigs! We will deff be back! Smaller camp store but there is a hardware/general store right down the road. Close to ATV trails. Ports potties were exceptionally clean. Propane is also sold on site. Pet friendly with appropriate documentation. I look forward to our next trip!

    Ammonoosuc Campground

    Year-round camping convenient to Franconia and Crawford Notches

    This is one of the rare New Hampshire campgrounds that is open year round. For years I drove by this campground deterred by the run-down, deserted red building next door that is NOT associated with the campground. On a last-minute whim I called and snagged one of the final two sites for the holiday weekend, spending 3 nights here. I wanted to be someplace where I could track the baseball playoffs, so finding a place with wifi (fair, better closer to the bath house) and 2-3 bar 3G/4G Verizon access was a plus. This campground has a large number of seasonal sites, but also has sites available for the occasional camper, with discounts available if you stay for a week.

    Sites are wooded, generally moderately sized, though the seasonal sites are much larger. Tent sites do not have hook-ups, but they have small shelters that provide additional protection fro the weather. Some of the tent sites are sloped. They also tend to be long and narrow, opening up to a wider area with the picnic table, fire pit and tent pad. Tent sites in the K row are near the road, so although you don't get much campground noise, you do hear road traffic.

    The bathhouse is clean, well-lit, and heated (a treat on those cold autumn mornings). There's also a laundry room with 4 washers and dryers if you need to clean up or dry out after a rough day on the trails. Sites are close to each other. They've separated sites with fence panels in some places to provide some privacy. There's an inground pool, a large playground, and a horsehoe pit.

    Activities in the area include very convenient access to hiking trails ranging from family friendly Surgarloafs to classic 4000-footers along Franconia Ridge, and peaks along the northern ridge of the Pemi Wilderness (Garfield, Galehead, Twins), trails to Mt Washington and the Presidentials, as well as numerous peaks and waterfalls in the Crawford Notch area. Cog railway is just a few miles down the road if you want to catch an early ride. Trails for ATVs and snowmobiles are also nearby.

    Abel Mountain Campground

    Great Mid Week Adventure

    My husband and I are seniors and spent 3 nights, Tuesday to Friday in June on site 51. Abel Mtn. Campground was easy enough to find. We have a 21' travel trailer and took advantage of the full hookups that most of the sites provide, including our first time using cable TV. As everyone else who reviews this place said, the owners are the first pleasure you find there. There's a heated pool, strong WiFi at your site, tons of clean river sites, immaculate rest rooms with an accessible ramp and lots of showers. For activities, you can hike on trails across the foot bridge and fish in many places along the river. They recycle everything possible and even provide composting of plant based waste. We have rarely found a returnable bottles and cans container so finding that and even composting is a notch well above the competition. Being the middle of June, there were no kids around but the photos and the two playgrounds tell us kids must love the place. Sites are back-in and very level on gravel pads. We highly recommend the place. Oh and a word to the wise, you will hear a train go by somewhere and the whistle will wake you up but no worries, it's all part of the ambiance.

    Hancock Campground

    Year-round campground with riverfront tent sites & standard sites

    I haven't stayed here, but I checked it out on Columbus Day weekend because it's one of the few campgrounds open year-round (plowed, unlike Lafayette Place, which is walk-in) in the White Mountains. Most of the reviews talk about the walk-in tent sites, but there's more to this campground that is located along the Kancamagus Highway just before the Lincoln Woods Visitors' Center.

    If you're a tent camper and don't mind carrying your gear downhill to a site, drive straight ahead to a parking lot. A few of the sites (3 & 4) are accessible from the far end of the parking lot, but for most of them you'll head down the steps in the middle with sites in two levels branching out on each side. Sites are large, but close together and although you're in the woods, there's not much to separate you from your neighbors. Even sites 10-20 are directly on the water.

    Sites 22-55 are suitable for RVs and tents. Those on the back side of the loop are close enough that you can hear the Pemi River running below. A few of the sites are pull-through. There are no hook-ups, but water available via spigots and flush toilets are available - except in winter. I'd recommend sites on the back side of the loop to provide some more distance from traffic noise. I chatted briefly with a host who remarked that sites on the western end of the loop have some cell phone coverage, unlike the rest of the campground.

    If you stay here, you're only a few miles from Lincoln where you can pick up any necessary supplies. This end of the Kanc your nearest hiking options are Lincoln Woods and Greeley Pond for family friendly trails, or Lincoln Woods to head into the Pemi wilderness, including peaks in the Pemi loop and Owl's Head. The Hancocks are via a trail at the hairpin on the Kanc. Franconia Notch and its many hiking trails and the multi-use trail are a short drive away.

    Bring cash or a check to pay your camping fee in the iron ranger. Fees cover the first vehicle; a second vehicle is an additional $5.

    Moose River Campground

    Great People, Nice Campground

    This is a small family-owned and operated campground just a few miles outside of St. Johnsbury, Vermont. The campground abuts the Moose River which makes for a pretty backdrop and wonderful place to dip your toes in the water. The shallow river is a clear flowing rocky river. 

    The campground is a mix of seasonal and transient campers with sites large enough to fit big rigs. There is also a rental camper and cabin available. There were tent sites but the owner mentioned they may fade those out. We stayed in a large pull thru (well over 125’), full hook-up site in the center section of the campground. (Site 27 @ $47/night). The electric worked fine and the sewer was easily reached with my 20’ sewer hose. The pad was gravel (as were the roads) and the patio was nice grass. Cable television is available and produced 32 stations. Our Verizon hotspot and phone worked well. 

    There are lots of activities at this park. It seems like every week there was a community bonfire where lots of palettes were set ablaze. During our stay, there was a potluck dinner in which the owners supplied roast beef and hosted us in a large covered pavilion. One evening they drove around the campground offering free ice cream sandwiches or drum sticks. Some mornings they supplied free bagels or donuts and always had free coffee. And, there were people always on the porch playing cards. Amenities include river access, a decent size dog park, large covered pavilion, bathhouse and laundry. When you arrive, you are given a swag bag with printed information about the surrounding area and businesses. This is a really nice touch because the reusable bag can be used in the grocery store as plastic bags have been banned in Vermont. 

    If you can score a riverfront site those are nice to sit outside and enjoy a fire. The pull thru sites are very close on one side as each RV pulls in the opposite direction; however, the sites are so long that if you pull up far enough you are not looking at your neighbor. Your patio opens to a neighbor but the sites are far enough away that it’s not a bother and you don’t feel like you are on top of them. Probably the nicest site in the park is #23 which is a back-in site with your patio facing the river. 

    The campground is in a good location, just a few miles from downtown St. Johnsbury, just a mile or so from “Dog Mountain,” and about 15 miles from Littleton, New Hampshire. There is a town forest just a few miles away that has some nice hiking trails. The campground is pretty small so we were happy to find places to hike with our dog.

    Chocorua KOA

    Small, quiet family campground

    The Chocorua KOA is a great campground with super friendly staff, a variety of sites and lots of activities and things to do for everyone in the family.

    We stayed with two other families on pull-through full hook-up sites 43, 45, and 47. Although we were on the main road, we really enjoyed these sites. They were wooded and in a central location close to the playgrounds, pavilion, beach and nature trails. Site 45 was pretty narrow but the other two sites had a bit more space so we mostly used 43 and 47 to hang out. We especially loved that the pull-through road behind our sites was not a main access road so we had a nice long stretch of road that was just for us. We played games and the kids road bikes without having to worry about cars driving through.

    There are also a lot of really nice tent sites along the water, cabins, teepees, lodges and great areas for groups to camp. They are fairly strict with quiet hours so it is a very quiet campground at night.

    The facilities are nice and clean. The pavilion and fire pit area are a nice place to gather with games and a mining station to enjoy. There are two playgrounds for little and big kids. The bathrooms are quite dated but clean. The pool is freezing cold so the kids didn’t swim much. The beach area is small and not deep enough to swim but the kids enjoyed playing in the sand and water. There are a lot of options for boat rentals- paddle boats, kayaks, canoes, paddle boards, and row boats. There is a beautiful board walk that leads through the marsh to a system of short nature trails. We really enjoyed walking the trails though some need a lot of work due to fallen trees and overgrowth. There were also a lot of free activities for the kids like crafts, wagon rides and games with a full schedule of events. You really never have to leave this campground!

    This is also an incredibly dog-friendly campground with a fun dog park, a special swimming pond just for dogs and doggie day care available. This is one of the most pet loving campgrounds we’ve ever camped in and our pup loved it!!

    We had a great trip and will definitely be back!

    Barnes Field Campground

    Large group sites in summer; first come sites for all in winter

    There aren't many campgrounds open in the winter in NH, but this campground just before the entrance to the larger Dolly Copp campground in Gorham is one of them. During the summer, it offers 11 sites for groups only with reservations required. 

    There's a blend of wooded/open sites located in a loop. So often it seems that group sites are wide open fields with minimal separation. Barnes Field provides clearly defined sites with picnic tables and fire pits. Water is supplied by a hand pump and toilets are vault. There are showers ($) nearby in Dolly Copp. 

    Rates in summer start at $40 for 10 campers and increase by $10 increments to $70 for 40. In winter you pay a per vehicle fee of $15.

    There were youth groups and adult AMC groups at the campground. 

    Site 8 is more secluded and up a small hill. Site 7 is in inside of the loop, wooded, and wet around the perimeter.

    It's located in close proximity to hiking trails in the northern Presidentials and Carter range. Wildcat ski is 6 miles south. There are numerous trails around for cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, and ATVs.

    Twin Mountain Campground

    Quiet riverside campground

    I've stayed here 3 times now, once for just a quick overnight and twice for full weekends. It tends to be quiet due to restrictions against playing music outside your tent/trailer. There are also few, if any, seasonal campers - I think those are probably in the field around the pool as the site numbers do not appear on the campground map. It is now open year round, but I don't know what the facilities are like in the off-season.

    Many of the sites offer water and electric, but a number of them do not. A few offer sewer. The campground is located along the river, but not all sites have easy access to the river, making it something pretty to look at, but harder to get to. Sites are generally level with easy access. You do need to call to make reservations, which in this day and age drives me crazy. If you have more than one vehicle, the second one needs to park in a separate lot and there is a daily fee.

    The pool and large playground offer entertainment options for the kids; there's also a volleyball net. There is cell phone coverage at the campground (Verizon), but if you are going very far afield, consider downloading necessary maps and information before you go. When you get into the Notches, cell phone coverage is poor to absent.

    The camp store has souvenirs, clothing, and a variety of food and camp supplies. There's a restaurant on site with picnic tables out front or you can get it to go and take it to your campsite. If you need something else, Fosters' Crossroads is just around the corner and offers an even greater variety as well as gas. Yayas Market and Deli is another option a short distance north on Rt 3. 

    Activities abound in the area, offering everything from hiking, biking, wildlife watching, or a cog railway trip up Mt Washington. Franconia Notch is 15 minutes south, where you can do a family friendly hike to Artists Bluff or Lonesome Lake or something more rigorous and classic (if well equipped) to Franconia or Kinsman Ridges. The Sugarloafs and hikes to Zealand Hut are also family friendly and just up the road. Pondicherry Wildlife Refuge offers access to the Presidential Rail Trail and wildlife watching. Catch a sunset or a brilliant night sky from the scenic view pull-off on 115 (near Sunset Paradise Rd), just a 10 minute drive from the campground.

    Newfound RV Park

    Nice place to explore the lakes region

    We enjoyed our stay at Newfound RV Park thanks to their laundry facilities, rec room, and quirky owner. It was a great place to explore Newfound lake from, as well as the Mill Fudge Factory. Our site was full hookup and a pull through site. We used a Passport America discount here.


Guide to Pike

The White Mountains region around Pike, New Hampshire offers RV camping experiences within reach of natural attractions like Franconia Notch and the Kancamagus Highway. The area sits at elevations ranging from 600 to 1,200 feet, with surrounding peaks reaching over 4,000 feet. Camping options stretch across both New Hampshire and nearby Vermont, with most campgrounds closing after mid-October when temperatures regularly dip below freezing at night.

What to do

Riverfront fishing access: Country Bumpkins Campground provides tent and RV sites along the Pemigewasset River. A camper reported, "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. He was amazed and so proud to have hooked it himself." The river offers smallmouth bass and trout, especially during morning hours.

Train watching: At Country Bumpkins Campground and Cabins, the tourist train from Clark's Trading Post passes hourly along the opposite riverbank. "On the hour, every hour, a tourist train comes through on the other side of the river whistling and firing some sort of prop gun maybe," notes one reviewer, creating an unexpected attraction for train enthusiasts.

Winter skiing: Cannon Mountain RV Park offers year-round camping with access to multiple winter sports. "Perfect for ski bums. Access to xcs, downhill, and snow machine trails," writes one camper. Cannon Mountain's 2,180-foot vertical drop provides skiing for all skill levels from November through April, weather permitting.

What campers like

Multi-generation family activities: Sugar Ridge RV Village & Campground offers amenities for all ages. "Horse carriage rides, paved roads, 2 pools, playgrounds, mini golf, fireworks," one reviewer notes. Another family mentioned, "Dog friendly, mini golf, heated pool, two playgrounds, and crafts and fun things for the kids!"

Riverside tent sites: More secluded camping options exist at Country Bumpkins Campground. "The north section has tent sites tucked back in the shade along the river, a great option for hot summer days," writes one camper. These non-electric sites offer shade and natural cooling from the river during summer heat.

Spacious full-hookup sites: River Meadow Campground RV Park provides well-maintained sites for larger RVs. A visitor notes it has "Excellent services. On CT river w kayaks and canoes." These sites include water, electric, and sewer connections with most being pull-through for easier access.

What you should know

Limited winter camping options: While most campgrounds close after Columbus Day weekend, Cannon Mountain RV Park remains open year-round. "From Columbus Day to mid May you may have a chance with walk-up. Be sure to check the entry station for any reservations so you don't have to move later when someone shows up to claim their spot. The rates drop after Columbus Day and the water is turned off," advises a camper.

Cell service reliability: Connectivity varies widely across campgrounds. At Newfound RV Park, "we were able to use our AT&T hotspot with decent service. That worked well enough for my needs, so I didn't test the onsite WiFi." Other campgrounds report stronger signals, with Sugar Ridge visitors noting "Decent cell phone signal (Verizon)."

Site layout considerations: Many campgrounds have specific site orientation that differs from maps. As one Sugar Ridge camper notes, "Site map is oriented upside down and would be helpful if corrected and updated. Our site looked angled on map so thinking it would be easier to approach from a certain direction to back in, drove in as I needed but found site was perpendicular to road."

Tips for camping with families

Water activities: For families seeking water recreation, Silver Lake Park Campground offers lakefront access. "This is a very clean, quiet, gated campground, with easy beach access for the kids (and launching space for pontoon or bass boats). There is a playground, rentable kayaks and canoes, a basketball goal, frisbee golf, corn hole, horseshoes, yard darts etc," reports a visitor.

Pet restrictions: Silver Lakes Park Campground has a no-pets policy. "Pets are asked to stay home," notes a reviewer. Families with pets should consider alternative campgrounds like Sugar Ridge or Country Bumpkins which specifically welcome dogs.

Noise considerations: Proximity to other campers can affect family experiences. At Country Bumpkins, one camper shared, "Dogs and kids were EVERYWHERE and neither were well behaved. We heard lots of Massachusetts accents screaming to 'knock it off already!'" More private sites along the river typically offer better noise buffering.

Tips from RVers

Power requirements: RVers should verify electrical service matches their needs. As one Sugar Ridge camper discovered, "Family staying next to us found their site had 50 amp service not the expected 30 amp and they needed to borrow an adapter cord (which was free). Labeling individual site power on map would be helpful."

Winter preparations: For those using Cannon Mountain RV Park during colder months, water connections are unavailable after Columbus Day. One experienced RVer noted, "The rates drop after Columbus Day and the water is turned off." Winter campers need to arrive with full freshwater tanks and prepare for freezing temperatures.

Navigation challenges: When arriving at Country Bumpkins Campground, follow signage carefully. "The check-in was a MESS... We quickly realized that multiple people were checking in, we had blocked in someone, and more were starting to back up on the road and were honking," warns one RVer, suggesting midweek arrival when possible.
