Best Campgrounds near Rindge, NH

655 Reviews

The southern New Hampshire region surrounding Rindge features a mix of state parks, private campgrounds, and recreation areas that accommodate various camping styles. Woodmore Family Campground, located directly in Rindge, provides both tent and RV sites with full hookups from Mother's Day through mid-October. Within a 30-minute drive, campers can access Gilson Pond Campground at Monadnock State Park, a highly-rated destination with 37 wooded sites nestled at the base of Mount Monadnock. The Massachusetts border lies just minutes south, offering additional options like Tully Lake Recreation Area in Royalston and Otter River State Forest in Baldwinville, both providing more primitive camping experiences with fewer amenities but greater seclusion.

Most campgrounds in the region operate seasonally from May through October, with limited availability during shoulder seasons. Advance reservations are strongly recommended, particularly for summer weekends and holiday periods when sites fill quickly. Cell service varies significantly throughout the area, with many campers reporting spotty or non-existent coverage at Monadnock State Park and Tully Lake. As one visitor noted, "This is one of the quietest and most peaceful campgrounds I've ever stayed at. The sites are super private, the rangers are friendly, and the mosquitoes are ferocious." Insect repellent is essential during summer months, and campers should check pet policies carefully as they vary by location.

Waterfront camping opportunities exist at several locations near Rindge, with Greenfield State Park Campground and Tully Lake offering popular lake access sites. Many campgrounds provide coin-operated showers, dishwashing stations, and basic amenities like picnic tables and fire rings. Hikers frequently use Gilson Pond Campground as a base for exploring Mount Monadnock, which offers panoramic views after a moderately challenging climb. According to one camper, "The hiking is incredible, both from the site and by driving to the headquarters to park." RV campers should note that many state park campgrounds have limited sites for larger vehicles, with Woodmore Family Campground being one of the few in the immediate area that can accommodate big rigs.

    Ashuelot River Campground

    Nice ‘n Easy campground

    We stayed for 3 days off season so not busy. Sites located along the river are wooded, field sites are very open great for seeing the stars at night. Sites have fire rings with excellent airflow for good burning with low smoke. Hook ups are in great condition for power, water, sewer. Showers and bath house on site. Laundry and game room at office area. Office staff was very helpful and they’re open later into the day til 7 PM. Good firewood and large bundle delivered for $15 to your site. We passed over this site on our first trip to the area but are glad we came here and we’re planning to return. Follow the website directions to get here as there are covered bridges in the area with low Clearance and low weight limits.

    Ashuelot River Campground

    Another great trip to Ashuelot River Campground

    We spent another great weekend at the Ashuelot River Campground. We recently purchased a new-to-us camper and wanted to get in a trip or two before putting it away for the winter. This was our 2nd visit to Ashuelot.

    We were in site 59, a pull-through with water and 30/50 amp service. The site was level and easy to get into and park. We were in a fully wooded area on the left side of the campground, which we prefer. They have sites located in fully open areas, as well as some that are partially wooded and have river access. There is a nice mix.

    Having good weather, we took a lazy tube ride from one side of the campground to the other. It has been quite dry in the area, so they are experiencing a drought. However, a little rain in the week got the river moving a bit. We were able to enjoy a nice, slow drift around the campground.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our time again and will definitely be back.

    Gus's Gardens Camping

    Nice weekend getaway

    This place was really nice. Easy to pull our 20ft camper in. Two minutes drive to the very cute town of Wilmington. Good places to eat there. The campsite was really private. Had a picnic table and fire pit. The pond was sweet and the Deerfield Valley Trail is right off the campsite. We would definitely like to stay there again.

    Woodmore Family Campground and RV Park

    Good Campground

    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. Very loud until after 10:00 on Friday / Saturday. 50 percent or more is seasonal camp sites. 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. Owners are exceptionally helpful and work hard to keep the site functioning and clean. Coin operated showers with hot water, mostly nice and clean except after a crowd gets packed and checks out Sunday AM. Laundry room takes quarters for machines. Small store at office which was open every day. Game room with wi fi. Pool , playground , volleyball area. Good size wood bundle for $10 , delivered directly to your site. Lake access with kayaks , some local hiking. Major grocery store nearby along with Walmart.

    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.

    Fort Dummer State Park Campground

    Not So Bad

    We spent one night at site #20 and enjoyed our stay.  It was rather peaceful other than the hum of I-91. The staff was friendly and helpful. The sites were generally wooded, pretty level, and fairly spread apart from one another.  I saw no signs of the problems identified in the June 2025 review.  Yes, I must agree that the restrooms are old, but they were clean.  The other problems might happen anywhere and were obviously brought under control.  Clearly, the writer of the June 2025 post knew way more than any weekend camper would be aware of and this shows that is more to their story that should have been revealed in their post.
