Best RV Parks & Resorts near West Swanzey, NH

Several RV parks surround West Swanzey, New Hampshire, offering varied options for motorhome travelers. Swanzey Lake Camping Area provides RV sites with some limitations, as one reviewer noted: "Site 12 a little tight for 21 ft travel trailer. Large tree canopy." Nearby, Woodmore Family Campground and RV Park in Rindge operates from Mother's Day to mid-October with full hookup sites that accommodate larger rigs. The highly-rated Tree Farm Campground in Springfield, Vermont (about 30 miles northwest) features big-rig friendly sites with water, electric, and sewer connections. Kampfires in Dummerston, Vermont offers similar amenities with 50-amp service and is open from April 15 to October 15. Field and Stream RV Park in Brookline stands out as a year-round option with full hookups, though it lacks shower facilities and trash service.

Most RV campgrounds in the region require reservations, particularly during fall foliage season when availability becomes limited. Dump stations are available at most parks, though placement and accessibility vary. Cell service can be inconsistent throughout the mountainous terrain - Monadnock State Park's Gilson Pond Area specifically notes "limited cell service from some carriers." Many parks accommodate pets but enforce leash requirements. Navigation challenges exist for larger motorhomes, with some campgrounds featuring tight turns and sloped access roads. One traveler reported significant damage to their rig at a Vermont campground: "Our 42 foot fifth wheel hit the road going up it, then severely druuuug down the hill going down it extremely slowly." RV campers should verify site dimensions and road conditions before booking, especially when traveling with units exceeding 35 feet.

    Spacious Skies French Pond

    Comes with a surprise French Pond

    The campground has a gravel area at the sites where the fire ring and picnic tables are. Where we parked our trailer was some gravel sand and dirt. We were at the end of a lane, backing in was fine we are small, 21 feet including tongue, we fit fine. Great site across from a beach, on French Pond I’m guessing is at least 25 acres. Most of the sights are long term. Camp was pretty much full, even then it was quiet. Restroom closed to covid, some campgrounds kept them open and just cleaned more. Well no complaint here we’re self contained. Some areas could use some tidying up. Still I would gladly stay here again.

    Dorset RV Park

    Decent campground in a good location

    We thought this park was o.k.– nothing special but nothing bad but we really wanted to see the area since we were told the town of Dorset was so pretty. When we checked in, there was a sign that personnel were working in the park and there was a phone number for us to call. They responded right away and met us at the office and showed us where our site was. 

    The campground was clean and tidy with nice tall trees. The roads and campsites are gravel and a little tight to get around because of all the trees but we were able to manage in our 45’ motorhome. There were a scattering of amenities like a rec room with games, shuffleboard, playground, volleyball, horseshoes, laundry, and showers. There are community activities like bonfires, bingo, pot luck dinners, and complementary donuts& coffee every Sunday morning. 

    Our site was level but some definitely were not. We got twenty or so television channels with the cable hookup. The hookups were all well-placed and we didn’t have any issues with the electric and the wifi at our site worked well. We had a picnic table and fire pit. The sites next to us were not occupied which was nice because otherwise it would have felt a little tight. We did notice a bit of road noise when sitting outside. There are some really nice tent sites set away from the RV sites that sit under large trees and have nice space. The only drawback is they are farther away from the bathrooms. 

    Loved the area, the Green Mountains are beautiful so there is plenty of sightseeing to do. Dorset is a cute tiny town that is beautiful in the fall. The nearby town of Manchester is home to Orvis and there is an interesting fly fishing museum next door. Overall, the park was fine for us and we would stay again if we were in the area. We paid ($47/night) for our full hookup, 50-amp site.

    Forest Lake Campgrounds

    Weekend stay, lots of seasonal camping

    Site was clean, easy to get in/out with 21' travel trailer. Swimming at the beach wasn't inviting. Lots of seasonal campers with years of lawn ornaments. There was a sense of the campground being clicky place. Pet friendly. Mixed emotions....


Guide to West Swanzey

The Green Mountain National Forest and Monadnock region surrounding West Swanzey offers camping opportunities at elevations ranging from 500 to 3,000 feet. This area experiences dramatic seasonal variations, with colorful fall foliage typically peaking in early October and summer temperatures averaging 70-85°F. Winter camping options remain limited, with only a few facilities like Field and Stream RV Park operating year-round.

What to do

Hiking to waterfalls: Jamaica State Park Campground features accessible waterfall trails with swimming opportunities. "There is plenty of trails in the area and you can go to the waterfall/rock slides and take a dip in the pools," notes Jackie G. Another camper adds, "Hike the scenic trail and take a right upward to Hamilton Falls, a gorgeous waterfall!!"

Kayaking and canoeing: Chapman Acres provides kayaks and canoe access to its pond. "2 well stocked campsites. One is setup for tenting or an RV/Camper... 2 kayaks at site one," mentions Kathleen W. Similarly, Sandy Beach Campground offers paddle boats and canoes for rent with convenient launch areas.

Mountain climbing: Gilson Pond Area Campground serves as an excellent base for hiking Mount Monadnock, with trails leading directly from the campground. "Just a 2 mile drive to the Mt. Monadnock HQ & visitor center, and the $25 per night campsite fee includes a parking place to hike Monadnock," explains one reviewer.

What campers like

Swimming opportunities: Sandy Beach has waterfront access with a designated swimming area. "The sandy beach is nice but the swimming area is quite weedy," notes Tammy. For alternative swimming, Woodmore Family Campground includes lake access and a pool.

Spacious wooded sites: Tree Farm Campground receives consistent praise for its site layout. "Spacious, wooded sites, super clean...friendly, helpful owners and gorgeous setting!" writes Amanda M. This contrasts with some of the more densely arranged RV parks in the region.

Clean facilities: Multiple campgrounds maintain exceptional cleanliness standards. At Kampfires (Hidden Acres), campers appreciate "the cleanest and nicest shower you will find in a campground," according to Mike B. For tent campers, Gilson Pond offers "immaculate" bathrooms and coin-operated showers.

What you should know

Limited cell service: Connectivity varies significantly across campgrounds in the region. At Jamaica State Park, one camper appreciated the digital disconnect: "no cell service and a gorgeous back drop is a perfect spot to just unwind from the real world."

Variable electrical systems: Coldbrook RV Resort has reported electrical issues according to reviews. "The electrical system has claimed countless rv components and 2 total losses. Instead of fixing it, they simply run generators for years," warns Glenn M.

Package delivery procedures: Dorset RV Park uses an unusual system for mail. "If you have packages sent to the campground, be ready for some frustration. Apparently, the process for USPS packages are to deliver next door, then 'Vicki' brings them over at some point," explains Katie E.

Tips for camping with families

Kid-friendly activities: Woodmore Family Campground offers numerous recreational options. "They have an amazing Ice cream stand... pool, playground, volleyball area," reports Chris H. Another visitor called it a "Great family campground."

Swimming areas for children: Jamaica State Park provides safe wading areas. "For us, they also had a playground to play at, and a boat dock to kayak," shares Meike W. Families often mention the gradual water entry at designated swimming spots.

Animal experiences: Dorset RV Park features on-site animals for children to observe. "They even had rabbits and chickens for the kids to enjoy," notes Rachelle S. Some campgrounds also offer wildlife viewing opportunities along nature trails.

Tips from RVers

Site selection for larger rigs: Tree Farm Campground can accommodate bigger RVs in specific areas. "This park is my new favorite. The campground is clean and quiet, with sites that are spacious and private," shares Lee A. Several campgrounds in the area require advance research regarding site dimensions.

Year-round options: Field and Stream RV Park offers full-hookup sites throughout winter months. "They offer all year round camping. Great site right next to the water. Sites are clean and well equipped," confirms Jeanine S., adding they have "Coin laundry with nice machine."

Navigating tight turns: Dorset RV Park presents challenges for larger motorhomes. "Larger rigs might want to avoid loop 6-14, especially for sites 8-12. Tree placement and a pretty sharp 110+ degree turn makes it challenging to maneuver," cautions Katie E.
