LegendThis is a great campground for families! Conveniently situated for skiing, climbing, hiking and leaf peeping. Amenities include; swimming pool, dog park, horseshoes, arcade, disc golf, basketball and more! They also have a propane fill station. As KOA’s go, you will pay for these amenities, but you get a lot of bang for your buck.
GuideNice campground near Killington, VT. Water and dump station. Not for big rigs we have a 21 ft TT. Things were tight but doable. One of the few Vermont state campgrounds that is still open. Most close from second Monday in October until Memorial Day.
TravelerWe come to this campground every year to hike a few 4000+ mountains. Typically we come in the fall. There are several full hook up rv sites, some without sewer and several spots for RVs near the river. While the pizza shop (Celli's) is closed for renovations right now, we love their pizza and fries. The bathrooms are decent and there is hot water!
TravelerQuiet campground experience. Very cheerful staff member. Ice Cream shop is a bonus. We found a secluded spot without reservations. Monday evening. Some sites are tight for larger RVs but our Class B Camper Van fit fine.
GuideThis is one of our “go to” campgrounds when in NH. Super clean and good mountain biking.
ScoutPark is nestled in the woods with a lot of activities outdoors. Walking trails for people and dogs. Great laundry, bathrooms, office/store, cafe. The roads into the sites are tight but they guide you. We have a 30’ trailer and 20’ truck, I wouldn’t bring a trailer longer than 35’ in unless you are really good in tight spaces. Site 110 is a great pull thru.
TravelerLarge sites, clean pit toilets, in a beautiful, wooded campground adjacent to the Swift River.
Camp host, who’s been there for many years, keeps things clean, organized, and quiet.
Most sites can handle multiple big tents. Plenty of toilet houses and dumpsters available.
The great boulder loop trail is right there. It’s a very short walk to the trail head and it has gorgeous views of the swift river valley with much lower crowds than the major peaks in the whites.
Grab a drink and your chairs and take a short walk on one of the paths to the swift river and hang out a while.
GuideSeems clean and well-kept. Staff in the office are friendly and helpful.
ScoutWe showed up early (10:50 am) and asked to check in prior to the 12 pm check-in time. The owner was working and she told us we could not. I walked over and saw that our site was empty, so my wife asked the owner again if we could check in early as there was nobody there and we had two 16-mo babies who were ready to get out of the car. She then kicked us off the property. This was on a festival weekend with nowhere else to stay, and I told her that. The owner did not care and we had to drive 2 ours home.

"This campground was clean, nice sites, private, amenities galore, friendly staff and AMAZING pool! Will definitely be back annually," shares Jennifer E. about her stay at Moose Hillock Camping Resort.
Site privacy: Many campers appreciate secluded sites with natural buffers. At Moose River Campground, sites along the water offer more privacy. "Our site was pristine and backed by the river. Extremely clean and well kept Campground," writes Jeff, noting the peaceful atmosphere.
Waterfront locations: Cabins situated alongside rivers, ponds or lakes are consistently rated highly. According to Nancy W., "If you can score a riverfront site those are nice to sit outside and enjoy a fire. The pull thru sites are very close on one side as each RV pulls in the opposite direction; however, the sites are so long that if you pull up far enough you are not looking at your neighbor."
Clean facilities: Campers consistently mention well-maintained bathrooms and showers as important factors.

"Site #18 was gorgeous, close to the river so could hear the water every night, plenty of riverside sites. Staff at KOA were awesome!!" reports Robert L.
Accessibility challenges: Some campgrounds feature challenging terrain that may impact mobility. At Moose Hillock Camping Resort, one reviewer observed: "The campground is very hilly and kids are ripping around in pedal and motorized bikes and scooters which is fine but no control at all in regards to speed and helmets."
Weather preparedness: Mountain weather can change rapidly. Pack layers as evening temperatures can drop significantly, even in summer months.
Kid-friendly campgrounds: Several properties specifically cater to families with designated play areas and activities. At Sugar Ridge RV Village & Campground, families find numerous amenities: "We stayed here and were VERY happy! Dog friendly, mini golf, heated pool, two playgrounds, and crafts and fun things for the kids! We truly enjoyed this park," recommends India H.
Safety considerations: Campsites near water require extra vigilance with children. At Country Bumpkins Campground and Cabins, one parent noted a safety concern: "The playground is across this busy road which I find very dangerous IMO."

Leveling challenges: Some campgrounds have uneven sites requiring additional preparation. "It was slightly uphill, so we had to pull the RV all the way to the front of the site to be able to level," shares one RVer at Country Bumpkins Campground.
Utility connections: Not all sites offer the same hookups, so verify what's available when booking. "The water is delicious by the way, so don't bother with any bottled variety– this is the good stuff," notes Shari G. about the water quality at Ricker Pond State Park Campground.
