The gated entrance and keycard access system sets Gunstock Campground apart from typical New Hampshire camping spots. Located on the grounds of Gunstock Mountain Resort in Gilford, this private campground operates within a ski area that transforms into an adventure park during warmer months.
Campers consistently note the quiet atmosphere after dark, despite daytime activity from the mountain coaster and zipline operations. The campground divides into distinct areas: an open field section for RVs near amenities, wooded tent sites tucked into the trees, and the secluded Breezy Knolls area (sites K01-K17). Greg S. particularly recommends sites 254 and 255, noting "Site 254 next door us easily the best trailer site in the entire place. It is huge and has two levels and tons of creek frontage."
The campground provides full hookups for RVs, clean shower facilities, and a fenced dog park. Adventure activities include discounted access to the mountain coaster, chairlift rides, and zipline courses for campers. A swimming pool and two playgrounds serve families, while hiking trails extend from the campground edges into the surrounding forest. The on-site camp store stocks essential supplies.
Some tent sites feature wooden platforms, though root systems can make ground setup challenging in wooded areas. Melissa B. notes that "Most of the sites are out in the open though, or very close together" and recommends the Breezy Knolls sites for more privacy. The zipline and coaster operations can generate noise during daytime hours.
Book ahead for summer weekends when wooded sites fill quickly, and keep your keycard accessible since the gate requires it for re-entry.
