Campgrounds and RV parks near Peterborough, NH

Peterborough sits in the Monadnock Region of southwestern New Hampshire, and RV travellers use it as a base for reaching a mix of state park and private campgrounds within roughly a 30-minute drive. The area is centered on Mount Monadnock, a 3,165-foot peak that stands about 20 miles from Greenfield State Park. The closest options span two categories. State-run campgrounds include Greenfield State Park Campground and Monadnock State Park, both operated by the New Hampshire Division of Parks and Recreation. Greenfield State Park has 255 campsites making it the largest campground in the NH State Park system, while Monadnock State Park offers camping at its HQ campground and at Gilson Pond, located near Jaffrey. Private campgrounds fill the gap for travellers who need full hookups. Woodmore Family Campground and RV Park is a family-owned retreat on 23 scenic acres along Lake Contoocook in Rindge, offering 125 campsites accommodating tents and RVs of all sizes, including big rigs. Spacious Skies Seven Maples and Oxbow Campground round out the nearby private choices, both aimed at families staying multiple nights.

New Hampshire state park campgrounds use the ReserveAmerica system. The maximum reservation window is 11 months in advance and sites become available at 8am (9am on weekends) exactly 11 months from the anticipated arrival day. Campsites at Greenfield are available only by reservation, walk-ups are not available, and bookings can be secured online or by phone. Cancellation terms are strict. A full refund minus the transaction fee applies if you cancel at least 10 or more days prior to the scheduled arrival date; a full refund minus the reservation fee plus the cost of one night applies for cancellations 4 to 9 days out; and no refund is issued if you cancel 0 to 3 days from your scheduled arrival date.
