Gosnold's Hope Park

4 ReviewsAdd Review

Hampton's municipal park system includes Gosnold's Hope Park, where the campground sits at the rear of the property under mature tree cover. This RV-only facility accommodates rigs up to 50 feet with full hookups at all 16 sites, operating year-round on a first-come, first-served basis at $31.80 per night including tax.

The campground provides water and electric hookups, restrooms with showers, and a dump station. A boat launch gives direct water access for kayaking and canoeing. Sites receive some spacing between units, though campers note the absence of fire rings. The internal road allows occasional foot traffic through the camping area. The Colonies RV and Travel Park offers another option for RVers staying in the region.

"Campground is at the back of the park and is covered with mature trees," reports N I. who stayed during the winter season. The 14-day limit accommodates extended stays, and the location provides driving access to area attractions. One reviewer specifically mentions tick presence during summer visits.

Staff interactions receive positive feedback from most visitors. The facility serves as a base for exploring Hampton's waterways and surrounding areas.

Visitors often highlighted the peaceful, tree-covered setting and good facilities with full hookups. Some concerns about close site spacing and staff issues were noted, plus warnings about ticks.

No tent camping 

Access to showers and toilet and all sites have water and electric with trash and dump station. There is a great kayak/canoe and boat launch. Campground is at the back of the park and is covered with mature trees. A beautiful, peaceful setting. It was very quiet with some walkers passing through by way of the road in the middle of the campground. Sites are nicely spaced. Park is within short driving distance to several tourist areas.
