Best Campgrounds near Wilton, NH

Campgrounds in the Wilton, New Hampshire area range from state parks to private facilities, with options for tent, RV, cabin, and glamping accommodations. Greenfield State Park Campground, located approximately 10 miles west of Wilton, provides wooded sites with lake access and operates seasonally from May through October. The region includes several family-oriented private campgrounds such as Friendly Beaver Campground in New Boston and Field and Stream RV Park in Brookline, offering varying levels of amenities and seasonal availability.

Most campgrounds in the area require reservations, particularly during the summer season when demand peaks. Facilities typically open from May through October, with limited year-round options like Field and Stream RV Park. A visitor commented, "Great site right next to the water. Sites are clean and well equipped," reflecting the appeal of waterfront camping in the region. Weather considerations include potentially muddy spring conditions and cool autumn temperatures that can affect camping comfort. Campground roads may become difficult to navigate during wet periods, with some facilities offering better infrastructure than others. Cell service varies throughout the region, with coverage generally better near larger towns.

Campers report mixed experiences with site privacy across the region's campgrounds. Wooded sites at Greenfield State Park provide more seclusion, while some private campgrounds feature closely spaced sites with minimal separation. One reviewer noted that "The campsite itself was squished in between two other sites so closely that we could hear others in their tent whispering during quiet hours." Family-friendly amenities such as swimming pools, planned activities, and pet-friendly policies are common at the larger private campgrounds. Several facilities maintain small petting zoos and recreational areas specifically designed for children. Water access, including lakefront camping at Greenfield State Park, remains a popular feature, though swimming areas can become crowded during peak summer weekends.

    Ashuelot River Campground

    Nice ‘n Easy campground

    We stayed for 3 days off season so not busy. Sites located along the river are wooded, field sites are very open great for seeing the stars at night. Sites have fire rings with excellent airflow for good burning with low smoke. Hook ups are in great condition for power, water, sewer. Showers and bath house on site. Laundry and game room at office area. Office staff was very helpful and they’re open later into the day til 7 PM. Good firewood and large bundle delivered for $15 to your site. We passed over this site on our first trip to the area but are glad we came here and we’re planning to return. Follow the website directions to get here as there are covered bridges in the area with low Clearance and low weight limits.

    Ashuelot River Campground

    Another great trip to Ashuelot River Campground

    We spent another great weekend at the Ashuelot River Campground. We recently purchased a new-to-us camper and wanted to get in a trip or two before putting it away for the winter. This was our 2nd visit to Ashuelot.

    We were in site 59, a pull-through with water and 30/50 amp service. The site was level and easy to get into and park. We were in a fully wooded area on the left side of the campground, which we prefer. They have sites located in fully open areas, as well as some that are partially wooded and have river access. There is a nice mix.

    Having good weather, we took a lazy tube ride from one side of the campground to the other. It has been quite dry in the area, so they are experiencing a drought. However, a little rain in the week got the river moving a bit. We were able to enjoy a nice, slow drift around the campground.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our time again and will definitely be back.

    Woodmore Family Campground and RV Park

    Good Campground

    Stayed for over a week off season , mid September. Very quiet during the week , weekend is Party Time when the gang pulls in on Friday Night. Very loud until after 10:00 on Friday / Saturday. 50 percent or more is seasonal camp sites. Sites in back are ok with trees and different levels. Sites are a little closer than I usually find. Neighbors are very considerate on site privacy. Owners are exceptionally helpful and work hard to keep the site functioning and clean. Coin operated showers with hot water, mostly nice and clean except after a crowd gets packed and checks out Sunday AM. Laundry room takes quarters for machines. Small store at office which was open every day. Game room with wi fi. Pool , playground , volleyball area. Good size wood bundle for $10 , delivered directly to your site. Lake access with kayaks , some local hiking. Major grocery store nearby along with Walmart.

Guide to Wilton

Campgrounds near Wilton, New Hampshire offer diverse terrain with elevations ranging from 400 to 1,000 feet across the region's rolling forested hills. Most sites sit among thick pine and maple groves that provide natural shade during summer months when temperatures typically reach 80-85°F. Fall camping season extends through mid-October when nighttime temperatures can drop into the 30s.

What to do

Hiking Mount Monadnock: Just 20 miles west of Wilton at Gilson Pond Area Campground — Monadnock State Park, where campers can access trails directly from their sites. "The park ranger at the front gate was very friendly and helpful. The campsites are accessible by car but nice and secluded. You can hike the path to the mountain trailhead or drive over and park for the day," reports Jess G. The White Dot Trail offers a challenging 2-mile ascent with rock scrambles above the treeline.

Fishing in local ponds: Several campgrounds feature on-site fishing. "There's a fishing pond and short hiking/biking trails," notes Erin M. about Spacious Skies Seven Maples in Hancock. Some sites back directly onto water features, creating opportunities for shoreline fishing without leaving camp.

Historical exploration: Spacious Skies Minute Man provides a convenient base for historic site visits. "Concord is only 30 minute drive away with two full days of revolutionary historic sites, and famous people home tours such as Louisa May Alcott," explains Ann B. The nearby town of Ayer "is right out of a Norman Rockwell painting" with period architecture and small-town charm.

What campers like

Wooded privacy: Greenfield State Park Campground offers heavily forested sites that create natural boundaries. "Very large campground with lots of woods to block you from other campers. Dog friendly 🐶," writes Erin R. Another reviewer notes, "The camping spots are spread out enough that you feel like you have privacy, even if you have neighbors."

Clean facilities: Campers consistently mention well-maintained bathhouses across the region's campgrounds. At Pearl Hill State Park, visitors appreciate the "bathrooms offering flush toilets and showers" and note they are "nice and clean." Several campgrounds feature recently renovated shower buildings with individual stalls rather than communal facilities.

Multiple swimming options: Cold Springs Camp Resort stands out with extensive water features. "Great campground. The pools are amazing. Kid pools. Adult pools! Adult hot tub," mentions Rick C. Another camper elaborates, "4 outdoor pools & pretty big campground that has a gated entry/exit that needs a key card pass you get upon registering."

What you should know

Site spacing varies dramatically: Some campgrounds offer significantly more privacy than others. At Autumn Hills Campground, a reviewer reports: "Sites are very small, and extremely close together. My 28 foot travel trailer barely fit into the site, and our friends in the tent sites were basically on top of each other." Look at campground maps carefully when making reservations.

Seasonal facilities: Most campgrounds operate from May through mid-October with limited year-round options. Field and Stream RV Park in Brookline remains open year-round but charges "higher rates Oct 15-May 1." Pearl Hill State Park typically opens "mid May to mid October," with facilities closing before early-season snowstorms.

Water quality concerns: Lakes and ponds occasionally close due to bacteria. One reviewer at Greenfield State Park noted: "When we went (July 2025) the water was closed due to Cyanobacteria Blooms, hence the 1 star deduction. We are grateful that they are honest about it, but it is disappointing to not be able to swim at the campers beach."

Tips for camping with families

Playground quality: Friendly Beaver Campground offers extensive children's amenities. "They have 3 outdoor pools(sports,toddler,regular) plus an indoor pool for rainy or chilly days. They have a few animals the kids can feed. They also have crafts, hayrides and games,playground and other events," explains Kate C. This makes it one of the best places to camp near Wilton, New Hampshire for families with younger children.

Weekend activities: Many campgrounds organize structured events for children, particularly on summer weekends. Cold Springs Camp Resort features "Organized bingo, hayrides, large pools, an adult only pool, hot tubs, a pond, etc." Activities generally taper off during weekdays and shoulder seasons.

Animal encounters: Several campgrounds maintain small petting areas. "We enjoyed coming up to their cute little store they added... There are so many camping gadgets, maps, touristy things, and practical items in there," reports one camper about Gilson Pond Area Campground, which offers wildlife viewing opportunities along nature trails.

Tips from RVers

Limited big rig access: Many of the most scenic campgrounds have size restrictions. Pearl Hill State Park "isn't built for larger units with the turns and curves. They've only designated 3 sites for 35' rigs; everything else is 15-20'."

Electric reliability: Power capabilities vary significantly between campgrounds. At Seven Maples Campground, one RVer reported: "Had issues with 30 amp service at site was not providing enough power, could not run all my campers amenities While my 20 amp designated outlet at home runs my entire camper with no issue."

Seasonal site prevalence: Many campgrounds near Wilton primarily serve seasonal campers with limited availability for short stays. "99% Seasonable Sites," notes one camper about Friendly Beaver, while another observed the same trend at several facilities: "Mostly seasonal sites. Lots of golf carts and drunks (if that's your thing, cool)."
