Old Stage Campground

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

A dirt road leads into Old Stage Campground, though reviewers note it runs mostly level, making the approach manageable for rigs up to 45 feet. Rates run $43 to $47 per night, reservations are available, and the season runs May through September. Full hookups with electric, water, and sewer give RV campers a complete setup, and the site also has a dump station, WiFi, and showers on-site.

The campground sits in a wooded area near a small river, with sites reviewers describe as spacious. One pattern worth knowing before booking: the majority of guests tend to be seasonal campers who have settled in for the full season, which can make shorter stays feel a bit out of place. A pool and an on-site store are available, and the campground has hosted family events during the season. Bugs were a notable issue for at least one extended-stay reviewer, enough to limit time outdoors.

Campers exploring campgrounds near Madbury will find Old Stage in a convenient spot for reaching Durham and Dover, with Portsmouth roughly 25 minutes away. Nearby alternatives include Forest Glen to the southwest and Silver Fountain Inn a few miles to the east. Reviewer experiences with staff have been mixed across multiple visits, ranging from notably welcoming to contentious. "I felt very safe here as a solo traveler," noted Ashley O., who also pointed to clean bathrooms. The campground tends to work best for RV campers looking for full hookups and a wooded setting close to the Seacoast region.

Aweful

First off it very gloomy. Almost everyone staying here lives here throughout the whole season. They have not many amenities or recreational activities. They have a pool and that’s pretty much it so lacking in comparison to many other campgrounds in the area. The owners seem very friendly at 1st but looks can be deceiving they turn on people very quickly. My experience was beyond terrible and I hope this review spares someone else from going there.

Rural seasonal campground in coastal New Hampshire

My family stayed at this campground for a month and a half while we finished up our obligations before we hit the road full time. The sites were spacious in wooded area near a small river. The road in is dirt but is mostly level. The majority of the campground were seasonal campers who had really settled in. We felt a little out of place. The pool and the store were nice. They had a few family events that were also fun and great for kids. The bugs, however, really prevented us from enjoying spending time outdoors. Our experience with the staff and owners was hit or miss. Sometimes they were extremely nice and friendly, other times it was like they were looking for an argument. The location was convenient to Durham and Dover, and only 25 minutes to Portsmouth. Overall, I would recommend the campground but with some hesitation.
