Best Campgrounds near Randolph, NH

1,287 Reviews

Campgrounds near Randolph, New Hampshire provide access to the White Mountain National Forest with multiple accommodation options ranging from established sites to dispersed camping. Moose Brook State Park Campground in nearby Gorham offers tent sites, RV spots, and cabin camping with facilities including showers and drinking water. Several miles south, Dolly Copp Campground provides tent and RV camping with trash service and electric hookups. Town Hall Road Dispersed camping area presents a free alternative for those seeking a more primitive experience without amenities. The region features both private campgrounds with cabin rentals and public lands with basic tent sites.

Most campgrounds in the White Mountains operate seasonally from May through October, with specific opening dates varying by location. Moose Brook State Park typically opens in early May and closes in November, while Dolly Copp operates from mid-May to mid-October. Winter camping opportunities are extremely limited due to snow accumulation and road closures. Cell service can be spotty throughout the region, particularly at higher elevations and in valley areas. Campers should be prepared for rapidly changing weather conditions, especially when camping near the Presidential Range where conditions can shift dramatically. One visitor noted, "We stayed at Moose Brook in June 2022. The showers and bathrooms are some of the cleanest I've ever seen. The sites are extremely private but you can hear your site neighbors if they're talking loudly."

The White Mountain region draws campers seeking proximity to hiking trails, fishing spots, and mountain views. Several developed campgrounds feature swimming areas, with Moose Brook State Park providing access to a swimming pond with mountain water. Private sites with electrical hookups tend to fill quickly during summer weekends and fall foliage season. Campers frequently mention the privacy of sites at Moose Brook, with one noting that "sites were well spaced" and another highlighting that "our site was very private and secluded, but close to bathrooms and showers." For those seeking more solitude, dispersed camping options like Town Hall Road offer free camping with minimal amenities but require proper preparation for self-sufficient stays, including water filtration and waste management.

    Riverside Camping & RV Resort

    Impeccibly Maintained

    Easily one of the most well maintained sites we have visited. The host was attentive and gracious. Beautiful nature trails behind the campground. I found one that lead to a beach by the river, perfect for reading and relaxing.

    Jellystone Park™ Glen Ellis

    Read before booking

    PLEASE READ BEFORE GOING We went to Jellystone Park at in Glen NH. We originally booked from Sunday to thursday. We left on Tuesday due to several issues with the cabin that the office staff refused to fix. Issues we had was 1. Cabin was filthy and had bugs inside. 2. Stove top wasnt working. 3. Fridge smelled so bad I had to wash it with warm water and dish soap. 4. Our cabin reeked like cigarettes to the point I couldn't bath my kids because when the bathroom got steamy the smell got sooo bad. I tried to adress the issues and was told they had a no smoke policy so its not their issue if it smelled because they did their part in putting a policy down. For it being filthy I was told they trust their cleaner so it qas me that made it filthy..(attached is one picture that I have this is just the bathroom on our first day their. Everything was covered in dirt, sand and soo dusty and bugs everywhere). I first spoke to James who yelled and was saying ridiculous excuses as to why its ok. Then the manager(dont remember name but she was older and blonde hair) screamed at me while I had my 2 year old with me. I was telling her calmly and very nice my concerns to which she was yelling to get out of the office. Then I was threatened to have the cops called if I complained again. I lost alot of money I cant afford to loose. But most important I was want to make people aware. I told them the website should state these things to be fair cause if I knew this i wouldn't have paid since they said its normal for stoves not to work and its out of their controll if someone smokes in the cabin. They said no one would stay if they posted those things. I left litterally shaking and crying because I couldn't believe it. They are nice if you dont complain. Discusting customer service horrendous management. Will be reporting everywhere already let my friends know so they dont go next year.

    Coos Canyon Campground and Cabins

    Fantastic

    Its a really cool spot to explore. I went when the water was low and was able to adventure where youre not meant to and man was it a blast.Found my own pride rock(lion king) and was able to meditate in silence and be away from all the boaters and atvs was super peaceful with a water near by. The tent campers around me were really solid people aswell.

    Jefferson Campground

    Great Mountain Campground

    Nice campground in a beautiful location. This place is a bit off the beaten path of White Mountain tourist areas but is still within easy drive to all the major attractions. We picked this spot for that exact reason. Open field camping in the middle with wooded sites on the edges of the park. I originally chose a site that was a bit too small to properly unhook the trailer but staff helped me get a better location. Site 17 was too tight for 44 ft total length. Switched to site 5 pull through. Some sites face each other for camping with friends. Follow their map to pull in correctly. Staff is excellent and very helpful. Small store on site with necessities and fire wood. FYI Amenities: pool, playground, laundry (affordable) hot showers. Off season so the place was not busy, very quiet. This is on our short list for when we return next year.

    Grafton Notch Campground

    Amazing place!

    We stayed here 2 nights in late September. The campground is very neat and tidy with lots of nice touches like flowers and seasonal decorations. The sites are gravel & the paths are covered in wood chips - both make walking cleaner because you are out of the dirt and mud. There is a path to the river and 2 picnic tables by the river. The bathhouse is clean and has a large shower with plenty of places to put your soap, shampoo, etc. There are also lots of hooks in the shower and bathroom for your stuff and the shower has a large bench to sit on as you get dressed. There are 2 dishwashing stations outside the bathhouse. Horseshoes and corn hole are on site and there is a well stocked camp store. Lots of information and brochures on the area. The owner is very kind and personable - I am looking forward to coming back!

    Town Hall Road Dispersed

    Few Solar/Starlink Options

    If all we needed was a campsite with no solar or starlink, this would be 5 star review. Lots of options, great hiking in the area. But if you need solar or starlink, there’s only 1 or 2 viable spots. We were lucky to snag on one a Monday afternoon (last site before turnaround on FR38) and stayed all week.
