Ashuelot River Campground provides well-maintained pet-friendly campsites throughout its wooded and riverside camping areas. Dogs are welcome in all accommodation types including tent sites, RV spots with full hookups, and cabins. The campground features dedicated pet waste stations with bags available and pet-friendly walking trails along the Ashuelot River. Swanzey Lake Camping Area and Spacious Skies Seven Maples also accommodate pets with designated exercise areas. All campgrounds enforce leash requirements when pets are outside the owner's site. Campground bathrooms and common areas remain consistently clean despite the high volume of pet traffic. Sites in the wooded section offer more privacy for campers with vocal dogs.
The Ashuelot Rail Trail accessible directly from Ashuelot River Campground provides excellent dog walking opportunities with flat, shaded terrain. During summer months, many campers with dogs enjoy water access points along the Ashuelot River where pets can cool off, though some sites near Route 10 experience traffic noise that might disturb sensitive animals. Several campgrounds near Sullivan feature off-leash areas where dogs can run freely in designated spaces. The clean bathhouses at Swanzey Lake include newly renovated facilities near the tent camping areas. Most campgrounds in the region enforce quiet hours from 10pm to 8am which helps maintain peaceful conditions for all guests, including those with pets. Local veterinary services are available in nearby Keene, approximately 15 minutes from most Sullivan-area campgrounds.

ScoutIt was dark. I arrived after 7p. There were 3 rv camps already going on. All 3 had camp fires. Many fire rings for many groups. No hassles at all. It's off the beaten path but worth it. The first 4 camp sites were open. Made a fire. Ate some food. I got a good night sleep. Nothing ate me or attacked me so that's 5 star in my book.
ScoutThe recreation hall was a nice surprise. We had some rainy weather one afternoon and the kids were able to play games while we relaxed for a bit. Saved the day honestly😂
ScoutWe were visiting family around Nashua and needed somewhere to park the RV nearby. Berry’s Grove ended up being a really good fit. We could come and go easily and still have a nice place to relax at the end of the day.
ScoutWe came up looking for a campground where we could actually spend a few days without constantly driving somewhere. Ended up fishing, swimming, walking along the river and exploring the area. The campground gave us plenty to do, but it was also nice having the option to just sit at the campsite and do nothing. Would definitley come back.
ScoutWaking up with the lake right outside the camper never got old. We would have breakfast, sit by the water for a while and then head out to explore the area.
ScoutWe have a big RV and had no trouble getting settled in. Having the full hookups made things super easy, especially for a longer stay.
ScoutOur dog loved it here. We spent alot of time outside and there was enough space around the campground for him to get some exercise too.
TravelerGorgeous pond filled with lily pads!
TravelerNice and peaceful spot with a trail that leads to a brook in the woods! Beautiful fall leaves throughout property
Camping near Sullivan sits in the Monadnock Region of southwestern New Hampshire, where elevations range from 600 to over 3,000 feet. The area features multiple ponds and waterways along with diverse terrain from flat river valleys to dense woodland campsites. Summer temperatures typically reach the mid-80s during peak camping season, though evening temperatures can drop into the 50s even in July.
Hiking Mount Monadnock: Access trails from Gilson Pond Campground at Monadnock State Park, where the 3,165-foot summit offers spectacular views. "Extra stunning if you can hit it in fall!" notes Charlotte R., who recommends this hike even after completing thousands of miles on the Appalachian and Pacific Crest Trails.
Kayaking on quiet ponds: Pillsbury State Park provides excellent paddling opportunities on multiple small lakes. "Our site was waterfront and shared a small beach/kayak launch with the neighboring site. Kayaking on May Pond and discovering little islands and coves was a highlight," shares Jessica N., who visited in late May.
Swimming at state parks: Several campgrounds offer water access during warm months. "The swimming pond and beach is clean but can get crowded on a busy weekend. Frog pond is fun to explore," according to Ali B., who enjoyed the swimming areas at Greenfield State Park with her family.
Private wooded sites: Many campgrounds offer secluded options with natural screening. At Greenfield State Park Campground, campers appreciate the layout. "Very large campground with lots of woods to block you from other campers. Dog friendly 🐶," mentions Erin R., highlighting the privacy features.
Updated shower facilities: Modern bathhouses are available at several locations. "The bathrooms are immaculate. The showers take coins but the facilities are some of the best I've seen while camping on State Park grounds," reports Jess G. about Fort Dummer State Park, noting the cleanliness standards.
Convenient camping stores: On-site markets reduce the need for extra trips. Wayne B. calls Ashuelot River Campground a "Great hidden gem" with "huge sites and a very helpful owner. What more could you want?"
Variable cell service: Coverage differs significantly between campgrounds. At Pillsbury State Park, "Campsites have cell service," according to Brandon C., though signal strength varies between carriers.
Weather preparedness: New Hampshire weather can change rapidly. Alex S. notes about Monadnock State Park: "We happened to go on a very rainy weekend, and everything became mud at the site so we left early."
Highway noise: Some campgrounds experience traffic sounds. Lilia W. observed at Fort Dummer State Park: "Only downfall is since it's so close to the highway, you can hear traffic all night," despite the "beautifully wooded campground" with "plenty of privacy" at their site.
Playgrounds and recreation: Several pet-friendly locations near Sullivan include family amenities. "The playground is really big with plenty to do. There's also a fishing pond and short hiking/biking trails," shares Erin M. about her experience at Spacious Skies Seven Maples.
