Winding River Campground

50 RV Sites, 6 Cabins, 54 Tent Sites

Winding River Campground in Exeter, New Hampshire, offers 50 full-hookup RV sites, six cabins, and 54 tent sites on the Squamscott River, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service, ADA-accessible sites, and rigs accepted to 60 feet. Riverfront full-hookup categories at both amperages join standard tiers, with an outdoor pool, hot tub, beach, boat ramp, and jumping pillow. Fifty sites span 20/30/50-amp full hookup, 20/30/50-amp full hookup riverfront, 20/30/50-amp standard, and 30-amp full hookup riverfront categories, all carrying water, sewer, and electric with site WiFi, sized to 60 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. The riverfront categories are the ones to request. Accessible sites are available. Six cabins and 54 tent sites round out the lodging. A general store, propane fills and exchange, dump station, restrooms, showers, firewood, and golf cart rentals handle the practical side. An outdoor pool and hot tub and sauna anchor the summer, with a beach and boat ramp opening the river for boating, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, and swimming. A jumping pillow, arcade, sports courts, basketball, horseshoes, gem mining, a playground, pavilion, and on-site dining fill the rest, with live music and planned activities. Rockingham County sits on the southern New Hampshire Seacoast, where the tidal Squamscott, Hampton Beach's three miles of Atlantic shore, Phillips Exeter Academy's campus, and Portsmouth's colonial maritime heritage make one of the state's most appealing corners — and there is no sales tax. Summer is the season on the Seacoast. Reserve well ahead.

Bear's Pine Woods Campground

14 RV Sites, 3 RV Rental + Campsite Packages

Bear's Pine Woods Campground in Moultonborough, New Hampshire, offers 17 full-hookup RV sites on the wooded access road to Lake Winnipesaukee, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 40 feet behind a gated entrance. A 30/50-amp pull-through category joins a 30-amp back-in tier, with an outdoor pool, recreation center, game room, and nature trail. Seventeen sites run in 30/50-amp pull-through full hookup and 30-amp back-in full hookup categories, both carrying water, sewer, and electric, sized to 40 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Two straightforward categories keep booking simple; note the 40-foot cap before bringing a larger rig. RV rentals round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. An outdoor pool anchors the summer, with a recreation center, game room, playground, walking trails, biking, swimming, and picnicking filling the rest. The dark Lakes Region sky makes for genuinely good stargazing. Pets are welcome. The setting is the appeal. The campground is surrounded by a state-managed forest and wildlife preserve, with a nature trail meandering through the pine woods down to Braun Bay on Lake Winnipesaukee — New Hampshire's largest lake at 72 square miles, with 250 islands and a shoreline that has drawn summer visitors for well over a century. Castle in the Clouds, the Loon Center, and Wolfeboro are close, with the White Mountains and the Kancamagus a short drive north. Summer is the season in the Lakes Region, with foliage drawing a strong late September and early October. Reserve well ahead for July and August.

Terrace Pines Campground

24 RV Sites, 7 Cabins, 1 House

Terrace Pines Campground in Ossipee, NH, offers 24 full-hookup RV sites and 8 cabin and house rentals, with 30 and 50-amp service and room for rigs up to 35 feet. Sites are grouped into 30/50-amp standard off-water and standard waterfront tiers, all carrying water, sewer, and electric with a fire pit and picnic table. The waterfront sites are the ones worth asking for. The 35-foot maximum makes this a mid-size-rig campground rather than a big-coach property. Laundry, a bathhouse with showers, and a general store cover the essentials, and the cabins and houses give larger groups a way to book together. Pets are welcome, with a dog park. The recreation is genuinely deep for a campground this size: a beach, a recreation center and game room, a disc golf course, sport courts, horseshoes, a playground, and lake access for swimming, boating, kayaking, and fishing, with planned activities and hiking trails nearby. The campground sits on Big Dan Hole Pond and Little Dan Hole Pond near Center Ossipee, in New Hampshire's Lakes Region. Rates for sites, cabins, and houses are on the booking page. Waterfront sites and summer weeks book far in advance.

Hunter's Run RV Park

74 RV Sites, 13 Cabins

Hunter's Run RV Park in Meredith, New Hampshire, offers 74 RV sites and 13 cabins on Pemigewasset Lake, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 45 feet behind a gated entrance. Lakeside full-hookup, pull-through, and lean-to categories join hillside and water-and-electric tiers, with an indoor pool, hot tub, beach, and boat docks. Seventy-four sites span hillside full hookup, lakeside full hookup, lakeside full hookup pull-thru, lakeside lean-to, lakeside water-and-electric RV, and lakeside water-and-electric categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted with cable TV and site WiFi, sized to 45 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Confirm your tier, as the water-and-electric categories do not carry sewer at the site. Thirteen cabins round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. An indoor pool is the standout — genuinely valuable in New Hampshire, where the swimming season is short and the weather is not always cooperative. A hot tub and sauna, beach, boat ramp, boat docks, and kayak rentals sit alongside, opening the lake for boating, paddle boats, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, and swimming. A recreation center, clubhouse, game room, ball field, sports courts, volleyball, basketball, horseshoes, walking trails, hiking, a playground, pavilion, and dog park fill the rest, with live music and planned activities. Pemigewasset is a quiet private lake in the shadow of Winnipesaukee, and the property combines the former Meredith Woods and Clearwater campgrounds. Summer and foliage drive demand. Reserve well ahead.

Quinebaug Cove Campground

30 RV Sites

Quinebaug Cove Campground in Brimfield, Massachusetts, offers 30 RV sites on a 420-acre reservoir, with 20, 30, and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 45 feet. Named categories — Courtyard, Beach, Eagles Nest, The Grove, and Knob Hill — join an outdoor pool, beach, boat ramp, and craft room. Thirty sites span back-in Courtyard, back-in water-and-electric Beach, back-in water-and-electric Eagles Nest, pull-thru The Grove, and tent/RV Knob Hill categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted with cable TV, sized to 45 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. Naming each section rather than numbering tiers makes the property easy to picture; confirm your tier, as the Beach and Eagles Nest categories carry water and electric but not sewer. One occupancy note: sites are based on four people, with a maximum of eight at a site during the day including visitors. A general store, laundry, restrooms, showers, firewood, RV storage, and a business center handle the practical side. An outdoor pool and beach anchor the summer, with a boat ramp opening the reservoir for boating, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, and swimming. A recreation center, craft room, sports courts, basketball, volleyball, shuffleboard, horseshoes, biking, a playground, and stargazing fill the rest, with planned activities through the season. Brimfield sits in the Quinebaug watershed between the Pioneer Valley and the Connecticut border, and its antique shows in May, July, and September are the largest outdoor antique markets in the country. Antique show weeks and summer fill the town. Reserve as early as you can.

DunRoamin On Peters Pond

9 RV Sites

DunRoamin on Peters Pond in Sandwich, Massachusetts, offers 9 full-hookup pull-through RV sites on Cape Cod, with 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 42 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. A single pull-through category means no backing at any site, with a beach, boat ramp, boat docks, and pond frontage. Nine sites are pull-through throughout, carrying water, sewer, and electric on 50-amp with site WiFi, sized to 42 feet, with picnic tables. Two things to check before booking: service is 50-amp throughout, so bring an adapter if your rig runs 30, and the 42-foot cap rules out larger coaches. One consistent spec and no guesswork. A laundry handles the practical side. A beach, boat ramp, and boat docks open the pond for boating, canoeing, kayaking, swimming, and fishing, with a playground, basketball, hiking, and biking filling the rest. The birding is productive and the stargazing is good. Pets are welcome. Peters Pond is one of Cape Cod's characteristic kettle ponds — formed by blocks of ice left behind when the glaciers retreated more than 10,000 years ago, and fed entirely by groundwater rather than streams. That gives it water clarity that surprises people expecting a typical New England pond, and it stays swimmable well into September when the ocean has cooled. Sandwich is the oldest town on Cape Cod, founded in 1637, with the Sandwich Glass Museum, Heritage Museums and Gardens, and the boardwalk over the salt marsh all close. The Cape Cod Canal and its bike path are minutes away. Summer is decisively the season on the Cape. Reserve as early as you can for July and August.

The Arrival Bed & Breakfast

The Arrival Bed and Breakfast in Harwich, Massachusetts, offers boutique suites in a nineteenth-century sea captain's residence on Cape Cod, with on-site dining, a library, and WiFi, minutes from Nantucket Sound beaches and the Cape Cod Rail Trail. The property is pet friendly — uncommon among Cape Cod inns of this character. Elegantly appointed suites blend period architectural detail with modern comfort in a house built during the era when Harwich men sailed to the Grand Banks and the Pacific on the merchant routes that built coastal New England's nineteenth-century economy. On-site dining covers meals, a library serves quieter hours, and a general store is close at hand. WiFi reaches the property. The setting does most of the work. The Cape Cod Rail Trail runs nearby for cycling, Nantucket Sound beaches are minutes away for swimming, and a creek and the working harbor and cranberry bog landscape of Harwich's agricultural interior sit just inland. Harwich Port's village center concentrates the area's social and culinary life within easy reach, and a state park is nearby. Harwich sits on the elbow of the Cape, which puts both the Sound beaches to the south and the Atlantic side within short driving distance — a position that suits guests wanting to sample the whole Cape rather than commit to one shore. Directions: the inn is on Route 28, running through West Harwich. Arriving from off-Cape, GPS will typically route you off Highway 6 at Exit 78A (formerly Exit 9). A half mile after the exit, turn left onto Upper County Road, which merges into Route 28 at Dennis Port, then continue along Route 28. Summer is peak on the Cape by a wide margin. Reserve well ahead for July and August, and expect strong shoulder-season demand in September.

Lake Champagne Resort Vermont

31 RV Sites

Lake Champagne Resort in Randolph, Vermont, offers 32 full-hookup RV sites at the geographic center of the state, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 45 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. A single 50/30-amp full-hookup category means every guest gets the same spec, with a lake, beach, walking trails, and sports courts. Thirty-two sites are full hookup throughout, carrying water, sewer, and electric on 50/30-amp with site WiFi, sized to 45 feet, with fire pits and picnic tables. One consistent category and no guesswork — every guest gets the same spec, which is a refreshingly simple way to run a small resort. A laundry, propane fills, dump station, showers, firewood, and recycling handle the practical side. A lake and beach anchor the recreation, with swimming, biking, walking trails, a pavilion, dog park, and sports courts filling the rest. The birding through the surrounding woods and pasture is productive. A golf course is nearby, and the property operates as a wedding venue. Pets are welcome. The address is 53 Lake Champagne Drive in Randolph Center. This is quintessential Vermont countryside — the Green Mountains' ancient metamorphic ridgeline, dairy farm pasture, and stream-fed ponds, with the state's geographic center just up the road. Randolph's downtown, the Vermont Technical College campus, and the Green Mountain National Forest are all close, and Montpelier, Woodstock, and the Mad River Valley ski areas are within an easy drive. Summer and fall foliage drive the heaviest demand in Vermont, and foliage season fills the state. Reserve well ahead for July through mid-October.

Jericho Gateway Family Campground

4 RV Sites, 7 Tent Sites

Jericho Gateway Family Campground in Berlin, New Hampshire, offers four back-in RV sites without hookups and seven tent sites across 300 family-operated acres in the White Mountains, with a big-rig-friendly layout taking rigs up to 100 feet and a dump station on site. This is genuine dry camping at the northern gateway to the White Mountain National Forest. Four back-in sites operate without hookups, and the big-rig-friendly layout accommodates rigs to 100 feet — an unusual combination that suits large self-contained coaches. Seven tent sites cover simpler camping. A dump station serves RV guests, and firewood is available on site. Guests should arrive fully self-contained and plan water and power accordingly. The 300 acres are the amenity. Walking trails run the wooded property for hiking and biking, and the family operation means guests deal directly with the owners. The scale gives a real sense of remove that smaller White Mountain campgrounds cannot match. Pets are welcome. Berlin sits in Coos County on NH-16 at the confluence of the Dead and Androscoggin Rivers, 20 miles south of the Canadian border. The Androscoggin carries fishing and whitewater, the Mahoosuc Range offers some of the most demanding hiking in New England, and Dixville Notch's mountain pass is within reach. This is the edge of the Great North Woods, the largest unbroken forest in the northeastern United States. The campground serves the northern New Hampshire season. Summer hiking and fall foliage are the two peak windows, with foliage in late September and early October drawing heavily across the White Mountains. With four RV sites, reserve as far ahead as you can.

Onion River Campground

26 RV Sites, 24 Tent Sites

Onion River Campground in Plainfield, Vermont, offers 26 RV sites and 24 tent sites along the Winooski River, with 30 and 50-amp service and rigs accepted to 25 feet. Full-hookup and water-and-electric back-in categories at both amperages join walking trails, a community fire pit, and forested grounds. Twenty-six back-in sites span back-in 30-amp, back-in 30-amp water-and-electric, back-in 50-amp, and back-in 50-amp water-and-electric categories, carrying water, sewer, and electric where noted, sized to 25 feet. Two things to plan around carefully: the 25-foot cap is genuinely restrictive and rules out most modern RVs, so this suits vans, small trailers, and truck campers rather than coaches, and the water-and-electric categories do not carry sewer at the site. Twenty-four tent sites make this substantially a tent property. A dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. Walking trails, a community fire pit, and the surrounding forest fill the grounds, with swimming, fishing, canoeing, kayaking, hiking, biking, and picnicking on and around the river. The dark central Vermont sky makes for excellent stargazing. Pets are welcome. Vermonters called the Winooski the Onion River for the wild leeks along its banks before European settlement, and the name stuck to the campground. Plainfield sits 10 to 15 minutes from Montpelier — the smallest state capital in the country and the only one without a McDonald's — with Goddard College, the Groton State Forest, and the Northeast Kingdom all close. Summer and foliage drive demand. Reserve ahead, and check your rig against the 25-foot limit.

Lake Lauderdale Campground

14 RV Sites, 2 Cabins, 11 Tent Sites

Lake Lauderdale Campground in Cambridge, New York, offers 14 full-hookup RV sites, two cabins, and 11 tent sites on over 50 acres beside a private lake, with 30 and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 50 feet. A clubhouse, library, and general store sit on a property with lake and mountain views in Washington County. Fourteen sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp in pull-through and back-in configurations, sized to 50 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, cable TV, and site WiFi. Two cabins and 11 tent sites round out the accommodations. A general store, laundry, propane fills, dump station, restrooms, and showers handle the practical side. One vehicle is allowed per site, with an extra vehicle fee of $5 per night on arrival. The lake carries the recreation. Fishing, canoeing, and kayaking run directly from the shoreline, with hiking and biking from the property and a playground and clubhouse on the grounds. A library serves quieter hours, and planned activities run through the season. Pets are welcome. Cambridge sits at the Hudson Valley's northeastern edge, where the Taconic Mountains' western piedmont meets the Battenkill River valley's world-class trout fishing and the Vermont border. Washington County's rolling farmland and New England character make it one of the most rewarding and least-visited corners of the greater Hudson Valley. Saratoga Springs is 30 minutes away and Lake George 50. Summer and fall foliage drive demand, with Saratoga's racing season tightening area lodging. Reserve ahead.
