Tamworth Camping Area

Swift River access draws campers to this privately-owned campground where sites spread across wooded terrain. RVs up to 50 feet can access full hookups including electric, water, and sewer connections, while tent campers can choose from both drive-in and walk-in options.

The Swift River runs directly alongside the property, creating opportunities for swimming and water recreation. Site 19 sits particularly close to the water, and campers report being able to swim directly from their campsite. A small beach area provides river access. The campground maintains a recreational area near the entrance and allows pets throughout the property.

Shower facilities operate on a quarter-per-five-minutes system for hot water. "Campsite was clean and mostly level," notes Laurie, reflecting the general maintenance standards visitors encounter. Sites feature fire pits and tend to be larger than typical campground lots. The wooded setting provides natural separation between camping areas.

Reservations are accepted for stays ranging from $31-55 per night during spring through fall seasons. The campground includes standard amenities like drinking water, restrooms, a dump station, and WiFi access. For additional camping options in the region, explore campsites near Tamworth.

Hidden gem

This place is a hidden gem! We find this place on a whim from a local who suggested we check it out. The lots are huge with fire pits. Our site was right on the river! You can swim right in the river. Pet friendly. They have a recreational area right as you enter. The owners are super sweet and nice. 100% yes!!

Nicely wooded; beach on river!

We enjoyed site 19 with our pop up just prior to their annual Jimmy Buffet weekend. Nice little beach on the Swift River. Nicely wooded sites. A quarter will get you five minutes of hot water for your shower.
