    Several RV campgrounds surround Sandown, New Hampshire, with varied accommodations for motorhomes and travel trailers. Mill Brook RV Park in Kingston operates from May through October with full hookup sites including 50-amp electrical service. Tuxbury Pond RV Campground in South Hampton provides both back-in and pull-through sites for large rigs, though some travelers report navigation challenges. Hidden Valley RV and Golf Park in Derry features 300 full-hookup sites adjacent to a golf course, while Beach Rose RV Park in Salisbury Beach accommodates big rigs despite having closely spaced sites. "The sites were large with full hookups and the area was very clean, some sites in other sections are closer together," noted one visitor about Tuxbury Pond.

    Between April and October, most RV parks in the region maintain regular seasonal operations. Navigation to some facilities requires attention to specific directions, as several reviews mention GPS difficulties when locating entrances. Pine Acres Resort in Raymond offers 50-amp hookups and can accommodate large motorhomes, though weekend events occasionally create noise issues for overnight guests. Dump stations are available at most parks, though Beach Rose and Mill Brook do not offer sanitary dump facilities according to their amenity lists. Cell service varies significantly throughout the area, with Tuxbury Pond specifically mentioned in reviews for having zero signal. Pets are welcome at most campgrounds except Hidden Valley RV Park, which maintains a no-pets policy. Several parks charge premium rates during summer weekends, with prices generally ranging from $40-80 per night depending on hookup requirements.

      Winter Island Park

      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.

      Sun Outdoors Wells Beach

      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.

      Hampton 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.

      Winter Island Park

      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 Sandown

    RV camping near Sandown, New Hampshire offers year-round options with varying seasonal advantages. The region sits within the Merrimack Valley watershed, with elevations ranging from 200-400 feet above sea level, creating a mix of wetland and forested camping environments. Most campgrounds in the area feature wooded settings with a combination of seasonal and transient sites, with notable differences in cell service coverage between locations.

    What to Do

    Fishing opportunities: At Sandy Beach Campground, campers can enjoy lakeside fishing. "Small but well organized campground. TT members will find all the comforts of home. Sandy beach by the water has plenty of room to relax out in the sun as well as launch areas to set out in a paddle boat, canoe or row boat, all available on site," notes Robert M.

    Water recreation: Campgrounds with swimming areas provide summer cooling options, though water quality varies. "The sandy beach is nice but the swimming area is quite weedy," reports Tammy about Sandy Beach Campground. Some sites offer alternatives when natural swimming isn't ideal.

    Golf access: Hidden Valley RV and Golf Park combines camping with golf facilities. "The main attraction of this campground is the golf course of 9 or 18 holes. There is a pro shop, golf cart rentals, etc," writes Christy C. The integration of camping and golfing creates a unique recreational option not available at many campgrounds.

    What Campers Like

    Evening entertainment: Some campgrounds offer organized activities after dark. At Tuxbury Pond RV Campground, one visitor mentioned, "The live band was cool... 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."

    Clean facilities: Consistently maintained bathrooms and grounds matter to campers. A visitor to Seacoast Camping and RV Resort reported, "Great small campground - very clean, very quiet." Another camper appreciated the "clean grounds, gated campground with card key access in/out of the grounds" at Tuxbury Pond.

    Pool amenities: Swimming pools provide recreation when natural water bodies aren't suitable. At Cole's Mine RV Resort, one visitor noted, "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."

    What You Should Know

    GPS challenges: Navigation technology sometimes fails to locate campground entrances correctly. "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," warns Sara D. about Tuxbury Pond.

    Cell service gaps: Mobile reception varies significantly by location. At Tuxbury Pond, one camper reported, "Forget about cellphone signal, it was 0." Planning communication alternatives may be necessary at certain campgrounds.

    Seasonal camper presence: Many parks have a high percentage of seasonal occupants. At Silver Lakes Park Campground, "while most campers are seasonal campers, they do offer around 10 overnight sites for both tent campers and RV's," notes Kirsten J. This affects the social dynamic and available space for transient campers.

    Tips for Camping with Families

    Playground access: Dedicated play areas provide children's activities. At Cole's Mine RV Resort, Laura C. found "2 amazing playgrounds, clean facilities and one amazing pool. We are local to the area and are thrilled to have met the owners and Cole himself!"

    Entertainment scheduling: Check activity calendars when booking. "There was a gentleman that started setting up for a comedy show that they would be doing that night. A staff member came to our site and let us know that there is an 18+ comedy show but there was a children's movie being played on a big screen on the other side of the campground," reports a Tuxbury Pond visitor.

    Beach proximity: Some campgrounds offer direct water access. Silver Lakes Park Campground provides "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."

    Tips from RVers

    Site spacing: RV sites vary considerably in size and privacy. At Seacoast Camping, Nancy W. observed, "None of the sites have a lot of space between them and I bet this park could feel quite cramped when it was full. We were there in the off-season(May) and didn't have any neighbors so it was pretty quiet."

    Parking logistics: Some parks have challenging navigation for larger rigs. Carry M. noted at Hidden Valley, "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."

    Site selection limitations: Online booking systems don't always allow site choice. At Tuxbury Pond, one visitor mentioned, "You do not get a choice during the online booking to choose the campsite to reserve & the site # is not included in the confirmation email."
