  Beach Camping Area

  Motorcycle camping

  Next to river and had a major flood this spring. I was tent camping on motorcycle and tent site are on dirt due to flood. Tent Site consists of picnic table. No water or sewer or electrical. $43 a night and bring quarters for shower. Clean restrooms and showers but I feel way over priced for what was offered. Should have looked for alternate.

  Gunstock Campground

  Cute campground, wooded sites are limited.

  This campground overall is very nice. The camp store has most everything you could need, and the campground is gated so you have to make sure you keep your key card with you whenever leaving in order to get back in. Most of the sites are out in the open though, or very close together. Not so bad if you're camping in trailers or RVs, but if tent camping you won't really have any privacy in those locations. I recommend the sites back in Breezy Knolls (K01-K17 I think?) and then I believe sites 203 and 205 were nice and tucked away in the trees as well. There is a zip line course and a metal "slide" or coaster behind the Breezy Knolls area which can get kind of noisy between the sounds of the gear and the kids screaming. Lol. But it didn't really bother me personally. The wooded area back there is beautiful though so the sites definitely made up for it. Campground has a fenced in dog park, playground, showers, clean bathrooms, and laundry facilities. Would definitely camp here again. I just prefer the wooded/shaded tent sites...which are limited at this place.

  Baker Rocks

  Great location and amazing facilities

  I tent camped here while doing some fishing in the area.

  Baker Rocks had a host of different camping options onsite including tent platforms, yurts, and cabins. I booked one of the tent platforms.

  The site had a large tent platform they could fit multiple tents, a brand new picnic table, a fire ring (with a free bundle of firewood), two chairs by the fire ring, and even a few strings of solar lights around the camp area.

  The tent sites are within the wooded area around the property and felt very secluded. There was a bit of road noise overnight.

  The facilities here were great. There is a full bathhouse with individual rooms for showers and sink/toilets, with running water.

  Around the campground there was a little beach along the Baker river. I only caught a few minnows when fishing but that may have been more to do with the angler. Along another bend of the river were two chairs for taking in the scenery.

  Check-in was super easy with the camp hosts who were very flexible with timing and wanted to make sure I had a great stay. The property and individual sites are deliberately designed with guests in mind.

  I would definitely stay here again if I’m in the area and might try some of the glamping options as well.

  Covered Bridge

  Covered Bridge

  We visited this with our dog Oakley for his first time camping last fall. It was nice and quite because of the time of year and was perfect because we didn't know how he was going to do. He absolutely loved it and there was plenty of space in the tent site for him to roam around. This campground is one of the first campgrounds on the kancamangus which makes it extremely accessible for most. The site offers basic ammentities such as clean toilets. The swift river is in walking distance and offers a great place to relax after a long day in the New Hampshire woods. All in all it is a great local site like most run by the White Mountain Forest Service.

  Greenfield State Park Campground

  Secluded Sites

  The night before hiking Mount Monadnock, my husband and I camped here. Monadnock State Park is about a 25 minute drive from the campground, and provides a beautiful hike. The RV sites at Greenfield State Park were relatively secluded, as it is a very wooded area. We visited very early in the season, so the main tent camping loops were blocked off for maintenance. Our site had a picnic table and a fire ring. We drove by a shower facility and a building with restrooms. The restrooms were still locked for the winter, so there were a few port-a-potties right outside- these were absolutely disgusting. It looked as though they had not been cleaned out all winter. Otherwise, the campground seemed nice! Just don’t forget to bring some bug-spray for those New Hampshire mosquitos!

  Granite State Campground

  Nice camp site with friendly staff

  We pulled in and went right to the office. The man was very nice and gave us a map to our tent site. We bought some wood from the campground. The tent site has water, electric, and a fire pit. They brought us a picnic table to use for the night. The tent was on a nice smooth spot, which was comfortable. The camp sites were very close together, but there was enough space to fit everything. We were there with only a few other campsites in use, but it would be kind of tight when full.

  Saddleback Campground

  If I could do negative I would

  So my fiance and I we had called and asked if they had tent sites they put us at 9T ( which to any other campground T with the number means tent) but the owner comes up this morning being a complete ass saying that it wasn’t a tent site & that we requested to move sites and now all of a sudden it was a problem so paid 60?which was supposed to be paid for two nights & basically told that we had to pack up and leave with no refund & a very sour taste in my mouth from that campground. I will never return

  Clearwater Campground

  Best swimming view from a lake

  Site wise it’s more of a rv camp but they do have some tent sites. I would recommend mosquito repellent.

  Owls Landing Campground

  Kids loved the pool

  Smaller more seasonal place for RVs, some tent sites way in back. No playground except for some old broken plastic things, the grassy knoll where the playground is really is the sewage tank buried with lots of ants!! The shower house was broken so we used the one in the office which was filthy and small. The tent area abuts private property so we heard chainsaw noise until 10pm each night. The tent sites were close but we only had one neighbor. Walk to spigot. The kids loved the pool which was well maintained and clean with floats. This was the best part! The office staff were nice and the cost is reasonable.

  Lovely Slice of Nature

  We really enjoyed our stay here - we prefer tent camping and like to be secluded; we are not into RV parks. This was fantastic. Beautiful trails, excellent kayaking, quiet and serene. We will revisit again soon.

  ETA: The composting toilets were clean

  Burnette’s Campground

  Amazing

  Great seasonal RV park with enough tent sites to satisfy demand. Steps from Short Sands Beach and within ear-shot of the animals in York’s Wild Kingdom. Truly a unique experience.

  Too Bad they don’t have tent sites

  My daughter and I were traveling from Buffalo NY to Maine and I got too tired to drive. we tent camp. the owners were very nice and allowed us to tent, and set up at night, and it was a very nice stay, but it’s definitely not very private and setup for campers. my daughter loved the pool.

  Quick off highway camp site

  They charge 50 dollars for a tent site with no electric, the spots are right next to eachother and touch the bath house. There’s more rules than a state park.its easy to get in and out of.

  GREAT

  Rolled in last minute after a reservation cancelation. Very friendly lady working and provided us firewood. We stayed at the tent sites and had enough privacy. Super close to piper trail where we climbed Mt. Chocora the next day. 10/10.

  Amazing campground.

  Amazing campground. Staff are amazing, super nice people. There is only maybe 8 tent sites? They have 2 cabins to rent. And the rest is rvs. The bathrooms are the cleanest campground bathrooms I've ever been to. Everyone is so nice and welcoming.

  Bear Brook State Park Campground

  Great Weekend Getaway Spot

  I was so impressed by how well the grounds were kept and how clean the bathrooms were. The tent sites were large which was great as we had two tents at ours. The park is very dog friendly for camping as well as hiking. The trails were very well marked and really conveniently close by to the campsites.

  Will definitely be returning!

  Greenfield State Park Campground Office

  Favorite

  Greenfield state park is my favorite place is the world. For tent camping and ‘roughing it’ it is awesome. Nice beach, beach front store and there is a small town market down the road for anything you may need. The lack of camper hook ups is definitely a down fall of this park but if you enjoy renting this is a great spot!

  Quite

  Stayed here for a night it was quiet relaxing tent sites are in a field with no power hookups and when it rains you can't have your car in the field because people get stuck poured on us while we were there but other than that it was a nice place
