Several RV campgrounds near Rye, New Hampshire offer full hookups, pull-through sites, and 30 or 50-amp power configurations for different rig sizes. Seacoast Camping and RV Resort in North Hampton offers 50-amp hookups, full sewer connections, and operates from May through October. Beach Rose RV Park in Salisbury Beach provides similar full hookup options with a longer season extending from April to mid-November. Tuxbury Pond RV Campground in South Hampton features pull-through sites in section J that accommodate larger rigs, while their section H sites have hookups on the wrong side for many RVs. Mill Brook RV Park in Kingston has both 30 and 50-amp service with level gravel sites. "The roads in the park are fairly narrow and we had to drive over the grass across from our site in order to back in. Lucky for us nobody was parked in that site."
Most RV parks in the region require advance reservations during summer months, particularly on weekends. Cell service varies significantly between campgrounds, with Seacoast Camping reporting good Verizon coverage while other parks have spotty connections. Many campgrounds provide on-site dump stations, though Thousand Trails Moody Beach notably lacks this amenity. Several parks implement key card entry systems requiring cash deposits. Seasonal sites occupy large portions of many parks, with some reviews noting these areas appear more crowded and less maintained than transient sections. For RVers with longer power cords and sewer hoses, Yellowstone Park campground may be suitable, though connections are positioned at the front of sites rather than the typical rear placement, requiring at least 25-foot power cords and 30-foot sewer hoses for proper hookup.

Basically a parking lot but with great views!
I’m not going to lie this was a little tricky for big rigs to get to, but with lots of patience and skillful driving, it is doable. Salem is an old New England town so there are many narrow streets and some low clearances. Follow the directions on the parks website as they are designed for RVs– don’t use Google Maps unless you are a small camper. Even getting into the park is kind of challenging because of the way the entrance is laid out with the entrance booth and some low hanging trees. This campground is in a municipal park with a marina, beach, a short walking trail, and picnic areas. The campground has different sections and totally different feels to them. We arrived on a weekend and section we were in the section which is in the parking lot of a busy marina. The parking lot was half full which made for navigating our 45’ bus into our site pretty hard.
No sites have fire pits but you can have a fire if you bring your own above ground pit. Tent sites have picnic tables but nothing else. Some sites you can drive to and have a car onsite and others are non-vehicle access sites (11, 17, 18, 25, 26, 27& 38) in which you have to park in a parking lot. Some RV sites have great water views and others are in a back gravel lot. In my opinion, the best RV sites are 12-16(A-D) because they have a water view. Sites 16B-D are a little tricky for big-rigs to get into because of the tight space. Our site (#13) had a slight downhill slope. We pulled in forward so we could have a view of the harbor which meant the utilities (water electric only) were in the front of our site but we were able to reach without an extension cord. We loved watching the action in the harbor. There is a gazebo by the water which we enjoyed siting under and watching boats go in and out of the harbor while it rained.
There is a nice sandy beach onsite which attracts a lot of day use vistors. The grounds are interesting to walk around as the water views are nice and there is an old fort to explore. Nearby town of Salem Willows is(about½ mile away) is a cute old seaside town with restaurants and arcades. They have a Bluebike rental station which is an easy way to get downtown and explore the area if you don’t have a car.

Sea-Vu West Premier RV Resort
Pleasantly surprised.
This campground is mostly seasonal, privately owned park models, but has 45 spaces for RV’s. I was a little skeptical about staying at this campground with so many park models and seasonals but was pleasantly surprised at how nice, clean, and tidy all the sites were. They obviously take pride in how things look because the grounds and campsites were very well-kept.
All campsites are 50/30-amp full hook-up with level gravel pads with grassy patios, a picnic table, and fire pit. We stayed in site#702 which was long enough for our 45’ motorhome and tow car. All the utilities were easy to reach and the electric worked well. The only problem was that we were parked under a large oak tree that was profusely shedding large acorns. There are some sites that are in the open which I would definitely choose, if I came back in the fall. The campground is gated which is a nice feature. It is located a mile or so off Route 1 which means you don’t get the road noise and traffic, but still conveniently located near shops and restaurants.
One nice feature are the shaded walking trails in the park. While they are not super long, it is a nice change from walking the roads (which are paved). Other amenities include a decent size swimming pool (closed while we were there), a basketball court, playground, laundry, and camp store. I thought it was a little expensive at $75/night (for full hook-up) at the end of the season, especially since the pool was closed.

Tight sites and expensive, busy area along the Maine coast
We stopped here in the summer to check out the coastal towns in southern Maine. There are many campgrounds in the area and we chose this one because they had a 25% off coupon (on a 7-night stay) which gave us the best nightly price in the area. However, the nightly rate was still$74/night, one reason being they charge a “resort fee” of$15/day which is ridiculous. This is a typical resort-style campground with lots of amenities (most of which we never use). But, for some people, this is a destination campground because of all the amenities- a large heated swimming pool, basketball courts, sand volleyball, bocce, fitness center, two playgrounds, 18-hole minigolf (that you pay extra for), and more.
The campsites in the front of the park are sandwiched between the swimming pool and Route 1 which is very busy and noisy. Campsites in the far back portion of the campground are shaded and a much quieter section. Camping pads and patios are a mix of gravel and sand. Many sites have shade and some have an astroturf patio (I think those are “premium” sites). Our campsite was in the middle section which was fairly quiet but the sites are close together with no privacy. The site was a long and level pull thru with a gravel pad and gravel/sand patio. All sites have a picnic table and fire pit.
There is a tent-only section and they have renal cabins. There is lots to do for families in the area including the beach and amusement and water parks. Restaurants of all sorts are nearby. You can easily walk to Congdon’s Donuts which is a Maine classic.

Seacoast Camping and RV Resort
Nice Campground, Love the area!
This is a nice, clean, well-maintained campground for RV and tenting. The campground is located on Route 1 which means you are convenient to a lot of things but there is lots of traffic. Half the campground is seasonal/long term campers and the other side is mostly transients. The roads and campsites are fine crushed gravel with nice grassy patios. The campground is very well maintained (the best part being that the mower collects they cut the grass so no clippings get tracked in your camper). There are some mature trees that provide shade but don’t impede navigating in and out of sites or impacting slide outs.
Campsites range from tent with water/electric to RV water/electric and RV full hook-up 50-amp and full hook-up 30-amp. There are three bathhouses on the property (one of which has a dishwashing sink) and laundry. Tent sites 50-55 are in an are set away from RV sites and more private. They are also close to a large bathhouse with multiple toilets and showers. Tent sites 90-100 are across from a large playground which can be quite chaotic, but if you have kids, this is a great spot.
Our site (#147) was a long pull-thru with a descent amount of space between our neighbors. We got about half a dozen over-the-air channels (one being a major network station) and were able to connect with eastern arc satellites with our Dish Satellite. The 50A electric was good as was the water pressure.
The campground does not have much in the way of amenities except for a game room, basketball court, and playground. The game room is pretty cool with lots of arcade-style games, a pool table, foosball, and table tennis. While we were there, they just finished putting in all new playground equipment and enlarged the size making it really big and a hit with the kids in the park. Once convenience is that maintenance picks up garbage at your site (between 8am– 3pm). Unfortunately, people leave them out after hours and animals got into them and scattered garbage everywhere. We've stayed here before and always enjoy being in the area as it is close to the fun cities of Portsmouth and Newburyport.

ScoutHampton Beach State Park Campground
Oceanfront camping at its best—full hookups just steps from the beach. Located in popular Hampton Beach, you'll be close to nightly bandshell concerts and vibrant nightlife. There is a lottery system in place for stays during the summer.

Cool location!
Hard to beat being right on the water with a lighthouse! But it's kind of a kooky campground.
Pros:
- Gorgeous views.
- Cute little trails.
- Super friendly staff.
- The bathrooms were always being cleaned (which is nice), but the bathrooms are dilapidated, so it's kind of like putting lipstick on a pig.
Cons:
- It's just an odd arrangement of sites. The RV area is a parking lot. Some tent sites don't allow cars on them. Our site #37 was cool, but right by the busy entrance.- As we stayed in October, the entire area is Halloween central. There were tour trolleys coming in all day, and since we were near the entrance we felt like animals in a zoo.
- As mentioned previously - the bathrooms could use a serious upgrade.
Guide to Rye
Camping near Rye, New Hampshire offers access to diverse terrain spanning salt marshes, dunes, and rocky coastline. The area experiences mild summers with average July temperatures around 80°F and cooler fall camping with temperatures dipping into the 50s. Most campgrounds in the region operate seasonally from April or May through mid-October due to the New England climate.
What to do
Beach activities: 10-15 minute drive from Seacoast Camping and RV Resort to Hampton Beach and Wallis Sand Beach. "About 5 miles to the east is Hampton Beach and a little farther is the town of Rye which are worth the drive. There we discovered Ray's Seafood and Petey's Summertime Seafood where you can get a great meal right next to the water."
Golf excursions: Full 18-hole course at Hidden Valley RV and Golf Park with golf cart rentals available. "The main attraction of this campground is the golf course of 9 or 18 holes. There is a pro shop, golf cart rentals, etc."
Trolley transportation: Beach shuttle service available at multiple campgrounds including Wild Acres Sun RV Resort. "Trolley access to the beach area was great and people are friendly. Safe travels."
What campers like
Heated pools: Open through early fall at many campgrounds. "Beautiful campground, clean facilities, decently priced. The pool, playground, bathrooms, and basketball court were all open and well maintained. We really enjoyed our stay!" reports a visitor to Tuxbury Pond RV Campground.
Clean facilities: Regular maintenance is a highlight for many campers. "Pros: Friendly staff, clean bathrooms, clean grounds, gated campground with card key access in/out of the grounds, 2 pools (closed for the season during our stay), pavilion, activities/entertainment, fairly quiet during quiet hours, laundromat, playground, dog park, boating pond, Horse shoe & Basketball court."
Proximity to coastal towns: Day trips possible to multiple New England destinations. "You are also just twenty minutes or so to Portsmouth and Newburyport which are some of our favorite New England coastal towns," notes one camper at Seacoast Camping and RV Resort.
What you should know
Site placement issues: Utility connections can be awkwardly positioned. "The water and electric were between our site and the next on one side and sewer between our site and the one on the other side. This made it difficult to place our trailer on the slanted site and reach all services."
Seasonal occupancy: High percentage of permanent or seasonal campers at many parks. "We stayed here for a week, our site was large with full hookups and the area was very clean, some sites in other sections are closer together. There are lots of seasonal campers so if you don't like that atmosphere this is probably not the place for you."
Navigation challenges: GPS reliability varies when finding campground entrances. At Tuxbury Pond RV Campground, "A little tip about GPS: if you're using Apple Maps, it will likely take you to a turn that is not the campground entrance, there's even a hand-written sign on someone's lawn that has directions to the entrance (seems to happen frequently, I guess)."
Tips for camping with families
Water amenities: Kid-friendly pools with extended features at some parks. "Super fun pool and a small campground so not many people crowding the pool. Many nice fishing spots and lots of play areas and outdoor recreation," reports a visitor to Cole's Mine RV Resort and Campground.
Entertainment options: Check schedules for organized activities. "The stand up comedy was awesome. For the most part, the comedians kept it fairly clean & our 9 yr old did not get any of the jokes that were a little sassy."
Beach access considerations: Walking distance from some campgrounds saves parking fees. "It is resort camping with all of the amenities, pool, hot tub, mini golf, adults only area, group fire ring and more. We love going in the fall to enjoy the leaves and sit in the hot tubs. The location is close to OOB and easy to get around."
Tips from RVers
Site privacy variations: Request sites along wooded edges when available. At Beach Rose RV Park, "We had just one night here and loved it. Felt so welcomed by the hosts. Lovely clean site."
Seasonal considerations: Fall camping benefits include reduced crowds. "We came in in October, the foliage is beautiful on the 'wooded' sites. There are new sites with gravel and no trees as well, we had our choice. The wooded sites are pull through and back in, depending on the row."
Parking maneuverability: Narrow access roads can challenge larger rigs. "The roads in the park are fairly narrow and we had to drive over the grass across from our site in order to back in. Lucky for us nobody was parked in that site."
Internet availability: Cell and WiFi coverage varies significantly. "Wifi not great and we have starlink - lots of obstruction so if you need uninterrupted access I'd check with the front desk to see if there are clearer areas for your satellite."
Reservation requirements: Book well ahead for rv sites near Rye, New Hampshire, especially for weekend stays during peak season. "We needed a campsite for one night, normally a 2 night minimum, but the lady obliged. W/30E/S. Our site unlike the pull throughs was grass but it was firm enough."
