    Campgrounds near Troy, New Hampshire range from established state parks to private facilities, all situated in the scenic Monadnock Region. Gilson Pond Campground at Monadnock State Park offers tent and RV sites within hiking distance of Mount Monadnock, while Ashuelot River Campground provides more diverse accommodations including cabins and glamping options. The camping landscape includes mixed-use campgrounds that accommodate both tent campers seeking primitive experiences and RVers requiring hookups. Most established campgrounds in the region operate seasonally from May through October, with peak visitation occurring during summer and fall foliage season.

    Reservations are essential at state park campgrounds like Monadnock and Greenfield during summer weekends and throughout autumn when leaf-peepers flock to the region. Many private campgrounds maintain longer operating seasons but still close during winter months due to New England's harsh conditions. The terrain around Troy features varied elevations with forested sites under pine and hemlock trees providing natural shade. Cellular coverage ranges from moderate to poor, particularly in state park locations where visitors may find limited connectivity. Road access to most established campgrounds is suitable for standard vehicles, though some sites within campgrounds may have challenging approaches for larger RVs. A visitor noted, "This was my first time to New Hampshire so I wasn't quite sure what to expect from the state parks there. I was not disappointed."

    Waterfront camping receives consistently positive reviews, with Swanzey Lake Camping Area and Lake Dennison Recreation Area offering direct lake access from several sites. Campers frequently mention the privacy found at state park campgrounds, particularly appreciating the spacious sites separated by natural vegetation. At Monadnock State Park, sites feature wooden platforms ideal for tent camping, picnic tables, and fire rings with grills. Some campgrounds like Tully Lake Recreation Area employ a walk-in or boat-in system where vehicles remain in a central parking area. As one camper described Tully Lake, "The campsites are spacious and though there is not a bad site, some are better suited for certain purposes like group camping." Shower facilities typically operate on a pay-per-use basis, with quarters required for hot water at most state park locations.

      Spacious Skies Minute Man

      Probably great, if you're looking to enterain kids.

      Let me just preface this review by saying when I go camping, I like to be immersed in nature– ideally with a toilet and shower nearby. These are my only desires. This is not that kind of campsite. But just because it isn’t for me, that doesn’t mean it won’t be for you. 

      Pros:

      - Easy to book and accommodating staff.

      - Restrooms/showers were clean(though the air fresheners are not migraine sufferer-friendly).

      - Nice, tall trees. 

      Cons:

      - My only real con is the general vibe. Again, it’s just not for me. It has lots of activities for kids (an arcade, park, pool, etc.), so if that’s what you’re looking for, great!  It just wasn’t what I personally was looking for.  But with limited camping options in the area, it was our only real choice.

      Entire Trip

      We brought the kids and they found plenty to do. Between the pool, river and recreation area, they were pretty much entertained the entire trip.

      Rented A Cabin

      We rented a cabin and honestly it was perfect for what we needed. Spent the days exploring around Lake Sunapee and came back here to relax at night.

      Change Of Scenery

      Came up from Boston for a little change of scenery and this worked out great. Close enough that the drive wasnt a hassle but it felt like we were actually getting away.

      Around The Fire

      First time camping in this area and we really liked it. The pool kept the kids busy and we spent the evenings around the fire.

      Our Favorite Part

      The Sugar River was our favorite part. We spent a good amount of time down by the water and the kids loved cooling off there.

      We brought the RV up for a weekend and everything was really easy. Hookups were right there and getting settled took no time at all.

    Guide to Troy

    Dispersed camping options near Troy, New Hampshire are limited on public lands, with most camping taking place at established campgrounds in the Monadnock Region. The area sits at elevations ranging from 1,000-3,000 feet with humid summer conditions where temperatures typically reach 80°F during peak season. Most campgrounds in this region don't permit generators after quiet hours, which typically start at 10pm.

    What to do

    Swimming and water activities: At Swanzey Lake Camping Area, campers enjoy direct access to the lake. "Nice beach, but need to cross public road to get there - short walk. Relaxing evenings along side fire pit," reports Mike B., who notes the campground has "lots of seasonal sites." Many campers bring their own watercraft for exploring local waterways.

    Mountain biking: The Monadnock Region offers forest trails for biking enthusiasts, particularly around Tully Lake. A camper at Tully Lake Recreation Area noted, "There is easy access to a man made lake which is quite beautiful, and you can paddle on it and explore its shoreline. You can hike and bike (mtb). Nearby there are waterfalls (gorgeous) and a local mountain."

    Fishing: Several campgrounds provide fishing opportunities without leaving the property. "We were right on the pond, so the kids could fish whenever. Lots of hiking trails (the dogs loved it). Can't wait to come back next year and explore the lake along the hike," wrote Richard W. about his stay at Seven Maples Campground. At Tully Lake, visitors can fish from their waterfront sites.

    What campers like

    Privacy and spaciousness: Campsites at Fort Dummer State Park offer more room than many other area campgrounds. "Sites are large and well maintained. Plenty of space between sites. It is a state park so there are not many services, but there is a great hike to a swimming hole and it is very close to Brattleboro, VT," explains Jessica S.

    Clean facilities: Gilson Pond Area Campground at Monadnock State Park receives consistent praise for maintenance. "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., adding, "The campsites are accessible by car but nice and secluded."

    Water recreation: Many campers choose locations offering water access. At Tully Lake, a visitor explains, "You can't beat the price for a site! From some of the sites, this will be a long walk during the night. The mural inside is beautiful. From the main entrance, collect a cart, load your gear, and following the appropriate divergent path from the parking lot or bath house (they are color coded)."

    What you should know

    Advance planning required: Book early for the best spots at Lake Dennison Recreation Area, especially waterfront sites. "The sites on the North side are spacious & quiet. The other side of the campground (east) has a lot of noise pollution from the nearby road which is used by logging trucks. The lake is perfect for swimming, kayaking, and fishing," reports Bonnie B.

    Pay showers: Most state park campgrounds in the region require quarters for hot showers. Bring coins if staying at these facilities.
