    Sutton Falls Camping Area

    Georgous, private camping along pristine Aldrich Mill Pond

    We were delighted when we learned we had the little peninsula of site P1 all to ourselves. Stunning views across the large pond, and serving as a wonderful halfway rest/respite on the journey from NYC to Belfast, ME. We felt like we were on top of the world, discovering this perfect quiet nook and basking in nature’s splendor.

    I can only speak for the camping on this peninsula/land, but the rest of the sites looked cozy, family-friendly, and fun. Cabins and RV sites across the lake, along with beaches for swimming. Bathrooms located on P1 peninsula. Canoe rentals on-site. Lovely picnic dining area alongside covered bridge and waterfall. Completely picturesque and, mostly, totally peaceful!

    Pawtuckaway State Park Campground

    Large and friendly park with plenty of water activity opportunities

    My first time experiencing a park in the New Hampshire Park system. We went down with a group. Pawtuckaway State Park offers a variety of landscapes, with something to do and see for everyone. The park includes a large family beach on the lake. There are many opportunities for hiking, with trails leading to many special points of interest, including a mountaintop fire tower; an extensive marsh where beavers, deer, and great blue herons may be seen.

    The park lines the shore of beautiful Pawtuckaway Lake.  The 192 sites are wooded and many provide views of the lake.  Each campsite has an open fire ring, picnic table, flat areas for a tent, and a parking space. The bathhouses are equipped with running water, flush toilets, and 24 hour showers.  There are no hook-ups at any of the campsites. The park also has a camp store where canoe and kayaks are available, as well as a plublic canoe and kayak launch. Five cabins are available; each sleeps six people, has electricity, and includes a fire ring and picnic table. Pets are not allowed in the campground or beach area of the park.

    Oxbow Campground

    Great campground!

    Wonderful sites that are spacious! Clean, WiFi available, a pond for swimming, playground, free paddle boats :), a recreational hall with a pool table & video games, laundromat. They have lots of fun family activities! We stayed with our parents in their camper for a couple nights and had such a positive experience there! They have 3 separate ponds-one for fishing, one for boating & the larger one is for swimming. Plenty of bathrooms throughout campground and sites are not expensive to reserve. Clean & up-to-date bathrooms with hot showers. Family-oriented with friendly staff. We will be returning, for sure!

    Autumn Hills Campground

    Family campground

    Pros- very clean, bathrooms kept up with regularly. Staff is very nice. They offer boat rentals, canoes, paddle boats and kayaks. Store on site and they do activities during the week. Definitely more kids friendly I think. They do have a pool, park, dog park, lake and food trucks visits at times. They have community fires and dances. Pet friendly. Wood available on site.

    Cons- loud cars going all night, some lights in your face. Some people tend to fly down the road on golf carts. You can also hear the main road from the open style campsite. No privacy. People will walk threw your tent site. They will talk during the night while doing this, smoking seems to be allowed at pool. No fires between 9am-5pm.

    Overall we had a good time.

    Everyone is so friendly, they have bathhouses with toilets, showers and laundry facilities. An in-ground pool with a great shallow area for the littles. A pond to fish or kayak or canoe or boat. A pavilion where they hold events or host dj’s etc. on the weekend. And dumpsters on site. Electric (30 and 50amp), water, satellite and cable hookups as well as tank dump hookups at each site. 6 months is only 2300$ + elec. 🤯 open in the winter for $400/mo. + elec.

    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.

    Friendly Beaver Campground

    Would not come again

    (As a Tent Camper)

    Let me start this off with there are not many campgrounds I would rate this low. There are a lot of little detractors that add up quickly. 

    First, one of the pros, we enjoyed their small but nice petting zoo of a few goats and a horse. Their general store was adequate.

    Now some of the cons we encountered. 

    The other campers were very loud and ruckus, especially in the safari field with the RVs.

    The campsites have VERY little to no privacy, we had to hang up tarps in between us and our neighbor or else we would practically be looking straight at each other if we both had a camp fire at the same time. 

    Something I've never encountered before, but our fire pit was not the typical tire ring, it was some other type of ring I've never seen before. It was almost as if it was designed to not allow any air flow for the fire. We thought we were going crazy until our neighbors were having an issue too and had to plug in a hair dryer and every 5 minutes turn it on to keep the fire from going out. And our wood was pretty dry too. 

    The pools were very lack luster, they are quite small for the amount of guests in the campground. They get crowded way too fast, we had probably a 2 ft bubble around us in the pool and could not move around at all if we wanted too. The kiddie pool which is 2 ft deep was a waste, it is too big with very little amount of kids who actually use it. 

    It was the first time we thought we had actually wasted a weekend camping. Would not return.

    Calef Lake Camping Area

    Small but quaint campground

    Small campground but we had fun here. Small lake to swim in and a small playground. They had a beach dance which was really fun. We met some really nice people. The staff were really nice, very courteous and helpful. Quiet hours were actually quiet! Which doesn't happen everywhere.


Guide to Rindge

Glamping options close to Rindge, New Hampshire range from basic to upscale forest accommodations at elevations between 1,000-1,500 feet. The region features dense woodlands surrounding numerous lakes and ponds, creating diverse camping environments. Cold weather can arrive early in fall with nighttime temperatures dropping below 45°F by late September at many campgrounds.

What to do

Water activities at Lake Dennison: Located near Otter River State Forest, this lake offers additional swimming opportunities beyond the main campground area. "Swimming in a pond or a short drive to a bigger lake (camping pass covers both). One of my favorites. It's kind of a hidden gem in north central Massachusetts," notes Lori-Ann D. at Otter River State Forest.

River tubing: The Ashuelot River provides gentle currents ideal for relaxation. As Karen O. mentions at Ashuelot River Campground, "Make sure to bring tubes for relaxing on the river. We brought our kayaks and had no problem kayaking on the flat surface river."

Geocaching adventures: Several state forests offer geocaching opportunities beyond traditional hiking. At Willard Brook State Forest, visitors can access trail connections to Pearl Hill State Park. One camper at Willard Brook State Forest Campground shares, "The trails in the park are nice and well maintained. The larger pond has a nice beach and picnic area."

Wildlife observation: The region supports diverse wildlife including occasional bald eagles. Michael M. at Ashuelot River Campground reports, "Beautiful river to float down or paddle up. Saw a bald eagle this past weekend while paddling up past the campground."

What campers like

Clean facilities: Consistent maintenance is frequently mentioned across multiple campgrounds. Jamal C. at Otter River notes, "The camp ground is clean nice with lots of trails for hiking and biking. The bathrooms were clean and water was easy close to the camp ground."

Quieter campground options: For those seeking less crowded alternatives to glamping close to Rindge, New Hampshire, several smaller campgrounds provide tranquil settings. Anna B. at Otter River State Forest shares, "So clean, quiet, friendly staff, great trails and lots of exploring and lounging by the fire."

Fall camping opportunities: Several campgrounds near Rindge operate until mid-October. Jean C. describes the Erving State Forest experience: "Sites are large, wooded, generally level. It was quiet with a lot of families. I took site pictures, but for the closed sites, the numbers were not posted."

Diverse site options: Campgrounds offer various site layouts for different preferences. "Sites that are near the small pond are generally larger and have better space for pitching a tent. The sites on the first two loops/spur roads are smaller and most of them are designated for tents only or tents/popups," notes Jean C. about Otter River.

What you should know

Off-grid experiences: Cell service can be limited in forested areas. Tim S. at Erving State Forest Campground warns, "There is also zero cell service (there is an operational pay phone at the showers) which is fine... but wished we knew ahead of time."

Site selection matters: Some campgrounds have significant site variability. At Otter River, sites 65, 67, and 68 are walk-in sites with tent areas closer to water. Jean C. advises, "Site 33 is large and level, suitable for an RV, but Group B site is right behind it, which may or may not be an issue."

Pricing considerations: State parks charge significantly more for out-of-state visitors. According to Jean C. at Erving State Forest, "Fees in 2020 are only $17 for MA residents, but $55 for out-of-staters."

Bathroom access: Not all campgrounds provide equal facilities. John from Willard Brook State Forest reports, "No showers and the men's restroom was a complete mess! Disgusting. For 40 US-Dollar far too expensive."

Tips for camping with families

Pool variety for different ages: Some campgrounds offer specialized pools for various age groups. Kara C. at Cold Springs Camp Resort explains, "Very family centric, 7 pools which include 2 hot tubs, a small 2x2 pool for kiddos, 1 adult only pool and 3 family pools."

Kid-friendly activities: Organized events keep children entertained. Sara D. at Cold Springs Camp Resort shares, "So many amenities, you just couldn't get bored if you tried to. Beautiful, extremely clean bathrooms, reasonably priced little cafe, big camp store, very friendly staff."

Fishing opportunities for children: Some campgrounds stock ponds specifically for youth fishing. One visitor to Oxbow Campground observed, "There was a family with several smaller children who were fishing the pond. It was so cute to hear them squeal with glee when they caught a fish."

Seasonal activities: Special themed weekends provide additional entertainment. Kara C. notes, "We went for halloween weekend in August and their haunted house was incredible for a campground!"

Tips from RVers

Site dimensions: Many campgrounds have limited space for larger RVs. Taylor H. at Autumn Hills Campground cautions, "Sites are very small, and extremely close together. My 28 foot travel trailer barely fit into the site, and our friends in the tent sites were basically on top of each other."

Navigation challenges: Narrow roads can make maneuvering difficult in some campgrounds. Kara C. mentions about Cold Springs, "Nicely landscaped although the roads are very narrow. Made it hard to back in our spot."

Dump station locations: Some campgrounds share facilities with nearby locations. Jean C. notes about Otter River State Forest, "Dump station and additional swimming/water activities are a little farther down the road at Lake Dennison."

Covered bridge warnings: Low clearance bridges can block RV access. John L. advises about approaching Ashuelot River Campground, "Follow the website directions to get here as there are covered bridges in the area with low clearance and low weight limits."
