The best lakeside camping in New Hampshire

·

New Hampshire is the perfect place to find a lakeshore campsite. Set between neighboring Maine, Vermont, and Massachusetts, this small state has a landscape that was carved by glaciers long ago, leaving basins now filled by endless lakes, ponds, rivers, and streams. Today, you can easily access these waters from major New England cities like Boston, Manchester, Portsmouth, Concord, and Portland. New Hampshire even has an official Lakes Region, where you can bike the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee, paddle a kayak on Squam Lake, or explore the hiking trails near Lake Sunapee, Lake Wentworth, and Ossipee Lake. All over the state you’ll be able to find a wide variety of lakeside camping—try a tipi tent high in the trees, a campsite with swimming, or a sandy shore site with your RV or tent. Camping a little too rustic? Rent a cabin with lake access, a lakefront cottage, or relax with pond-front glamping. New Hampshire also hosts many waterfront state parks including Bear Brook, White Lake, Ellacoya, Greenfield, Pawtuckaway, and Umbagog—all offering lake recreation. Find the perfect camping spot or vacation rental near water on your quest for lake camping in New Hampshire.

Sacred Nectar Sanctuary

(1993)
North Sandwich, NH · 14 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
Simply the best tenting you can find in the White Mountains. The campground to get away from campgrounds, where magic touches every corner. Sacred Nectar rests on the land of the Wabanaki Tribes. This land, now known by it's view gifting fields, is one of Sandwich's top treasured gems. The Historic Farm was purchased by Townsend Thorndike from the first colonizing family to claim ownership of this unceded land, the McCrillis family. It was Town's place to get away from the busy life. As time went on and his money dwindled and plans to sell off some of the land arose. Townsend's son, Nick, foresaw a devastating development of conventional homes that would diminish the soul of this sacred land that held so much magic. So, Nick decided to move back to the homestead to create an example of what a healthy life for the land and its inhabitants looks like. HipCamp was the first step towards sharing and opening up the land to create an Intentional lifestyle. One in which we hope to share our way of being that brings awareness to the natural world we have fallen so far from. Nick and his tribe of like minds are creating a holistic, educational, retreat, workshop, and event center where people can come to learn how to co-exist in a harmonious relationship with nature and each other. Thank you for being a part of the healing. We hope you enjoy what we have created here :)

The property is within walking distance to Meeting House Pond, and the Meeting House Cemetery where Grace Metalious, author of "Peyton Place," is buried. The conservation land features a rare flax retting pond, adding to the unique experience.

Our property is located in the heart of Conway and all the Mount Washington Valley has to offer. We are about a mile walk from the Saco river and the same for Conway Lake. We have a Canoe Company on site that is run all summer, and highly recommend our campers utilize the rentals. We have small pop up events like live music, farmers markets, and craft fairs in the back yard, so if that is something of interest inquire with us for what days we will be hosting. We also have a Yoga teacher on site willing to teach private yoga classes to all who desire them.Learn more about this land:A Big field with a fire ring in the middle.

Orford, NH · 7 sites · Tents, RVs
Camp Ebb and Flow is located on the western edge of the White Mountains, near the crossing of the Appalachian Trail and a short drive to VT. Three lakes nearby for swimming, kayaking, and fishing. Hiking trails nearby. The camp offers RV sites with water, electricity, and sewer, an RV site with no hookups, and several tent sites. One of the tent sites has water and electricity and another has electricity with nearby water. There is bathhouse with two toilets and two vanities as well as a shower with changing room. Potable water is also available from a spigot at the bathhouse. There are over six acres of mowed fields for activities and walking. There is also a lovely brook running through the property with many areas you can cool off in from the summer heat. This property has a lengthy history going back to colonial times. It’s been a farm, an apple orchard, and once had a sawmill. Please check the calendar for available dates. Check-in is no later than 9pm unless late arrival arrangements have been made prior to booking. Whenever possible, try to arrive before dark because there are no lights at most sites, which can make setup difficult. A note regarding electric vehicles (EV): If you have an electric vehicle and would like to tent camp, please select one of our full hookup RV sites. If you have the proper electric adapter for your vehicle, you can charge your vehicle at the 30A RV plug while tenting in the field near the RV site. We do not supply these adapters, and we cannot allow you to charge your vehicle unless you have reserved an RV site with full hookups. If you do not see an open site for the days you'd like to get away, please contact us. Sometimes we can make other arrangements, allowing you to stay.
