Several RV parks around Somersworth provide full hookup accommodations from spring through fall. Pine Acres Resort in Raymond offers 50-amp electrical service, water, and sewer connections, with pull-through sites suitable for larger rigs. "We had a nice time here. This place has all of the amenities," noted one visitor who appreciated the multiple outdoor activities available. Tuxbury Pond RV Campground in South Hampton accommodates big rigs with pull-through sites in section J, though reviews indicate some navigation challenges with the campground address.

Seasonal operations dictate planning for most Somersworth area RV parks, with most facilities closing by mid-October. GPS navigation to campgrounds can prove problematic, with one camper noting, "The address is messed up! GPS can't find it." Cell service varies significantly throughout the region, with Tuxbury Pond reported to have zero signal by multiple reviewers. Dump stations are available at most parks, though service quality differs considerably between locations. Pet policies vary between facilities, with most allowing dogs but imposing breed restrictions or designated pet areas. Some campgrounds experience significant seasonal occupancy, potentially limiting availability for short-term visitors during peak periods, particularly on summer weekends and holiday weeks.

Bearcamp River Campground
Bear camp River campground is a great place to camp for a weekend or be a seasonal. You can walk 6/10 of a mile to the covered bridge nearby and float right down to the beach at the campground or you can start on one side of the campground and float to the other via river for a good 30 minute float!! You get to Camp right on the Riverside. Owners (Mike and Tabby ) are great. Good place for the kids to run around and explore. The Camp store has sweatshirts and sweatpants , candy and snacks ,s’mores kits, and much much more. They also sell wood and ice on site. There is also hot showers for free, and bathrooms. Two thumbs up from this happy camper.

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.

Guide to Somersworth
Seasonal RV parks around Somersworth operate within a 25-mile radius, offering varying levels of accessibility to coastal attractions and inland recreation areas. Most campgrounds in this region of southern New Hampshire and coastal Maine are situated along major travel routes including Route 1 and I-95, providing convenient access to both beach destinations and forest areas. Weather conditions tend to be most favorable from May through September, with typical summer highs in the mid-70s to low 80s.
What to do
Beach access from inland sites: Tuxbury Pond RV Campground offers a strategic location for exploring the region. "This is a great base for sightseeing," noted one visitor who appreciated using it as a hub for coastal excursions. The campground sits approximately 30 minutes from Hampton Beach State Park and 45 minutes from Portsmouth's historic downtown.
Enjoy onsite water recreation: Local pond access provides alternatives to ocean beaches. "Boating pond" facilities at several campgrounds allow for paddling without the crowds of coastal areas. For families looking to avoid beach parking fees during summer months, these freshwater options can save $15-25 daily in beach parking costs.
Explore nearby historic towns: RV campers staying at campsites around Somersworth can visit multiple historic coastal communities within a 30-minute drive. "We were within 20 minutes of Portland and 10 minutes to Old Orchard Beach," reported a camper at Sun Outdoors Saco Old Orchard Beach, highlighting the accessibility of regional attractions.
What campers like
Clean facilities: Many RV parks near Somersworth maintain high cleanliness standards. "The bathrooms were the cleanest I've seen camping and the staff was incredibly friendly," reported one visitor about their experience in the region. Several reviewers specifically mention well-maintained shower buildings as a priority when choosing where to stay.
Pool access during hot weather: Cole's Mine RV Resort offers water amenities that campers consistently praise. "The pool is heated and has an amazing water slide and themed. We had a blast and plan on visiting again next year," wrote one reviewer. Heated pools extend the swimming season into May and September when ocean temperatures remain cold.
Shuttle services to beaches: Transportation options from inland campgrounds to beach areas reduce parking challenges. "There is a shuttle that takes you to the beach which is convenient," one camper noted. These services typically run hourly during peak season and reduce the need to navigate limited beach parking, which fills by 10 AM on summer weekends.
What you should know
Navigation challenges: GPS directions to many RV parks in the Somersworth area can be problematic. "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," reported a visitor to Tuxbury Pond. Several parks recommend calling ahead for specific directions rather than relying solely on navigation apps.
Site spacing varies significantly: Beach Rose RV Park exemplifies the typical layout of coastal campgrounds. "Spaces are small, place is clean, nice pool and staff is very friendly," mentioned one camper. Sites at many coastal RV parks are positioned closer together than inland facilities, often with 10-15 feet between units.
Seasonal occupancy impacts: Many RV parks near Somersworth have significant numbers of seasonal residents, changing the camping experience. "Mostly annuals who on the weekends like to drink in the pool," noted one reviewer about a local park. This seasonal occupancy can reduce availability for short-term visitors, particularly at waterfront sites during summer months.
Tips for camping with families
Playground quality: Thousand Trails Moody Beach offers family-friendly facilities that receive positive reviews. "We took our family of 5, and my mom for a weekend getaway! It was perfect. So much to do," explained a visitor. Multiple campgrounds in the region feature recently updated playground equipment suitable for various age groups.
Activity schedules: Organized events provide entertainment during rainy periods or when beach visits aren't possible. "Kid activities were done regularly. Pizza and breakfast is very good if you don't want to cook. Outdoor movies were fun," reported a family visitor. These activities typically run daily during July-August and weekends only in shoulder seasons.
Camp store convenience: Onsite stores reduce trips to town for basic supplies. "Lovely clean site. Felt so welcomed by the hosts," mentioned one visitor appreciating camp store access. Most stores in the area operate from 8 AM to 8 PM during peak season but maintain reduced hours during spring and fall, generally closing by 6 PM.
Tips from RVers
Satellite reception challenges: Tree cover at many New Hampshire and southern Maine campgrounds creates connectivity issues. "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," advised one RVer. Several campgrounds maintain designated satellite-friendly sites with clearer overhead views.
Site selection strategy: Sea-Vu West Premier RV Resort offers a layout praised by motorhome owners. "The close location to dining, motorcycle rides, wide/grassy sites and quietness all contribute to a very good stay," noted one RVer. For larger rigs, requesting specific sections can improve access, with many parks reserving their more spacious sites for units over 30 feet.
Utility reliability: Water pressure and electrical stability vary between parks. "This campground sits among tall pine trees which offer nice shade helps alleviate some of the feel of a crowded campground," mentioned a visitor noting the trade-off between shade and utility access. Several campgrounds recommend pressure regulators due to fluctuating water pressure, particularly during peak usage times.
