Two cabins, 11 tent sites, and a glamping site round out the lodging. A general store, laundry, propane fills, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side.

Mini-golf, a recreation center, clubhouse, game room, arcade, craft room, ball field, sports courts, basketball, walking trails, hiking, a playground, pavilion, and dog park fill the rest, with live music and planned activities. The address is 529 South Main Street, positioned between Lake Sunapee and Mount Sunapee State Park — two of New Hampshire's most popular four-season destinations.

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.

from $34/night

Pine Hollow Campground

49 RV Sites, 3 Tent Sites

Pine Hollow Campground in Pownal, Vermont, offers 49 full-hookup RV sites and three tent sites in a small scenic valley at the southwestern corner of the state, with 30 and 50-amp service, cable TV, and rigs accepted to 45 feet on a big-rig-friendly layout. A spring-fed stocked trout pond with paddleboat rentals and a beach anchors a genuinely traditional New England campground. Forty-nine sites carry water, sewer, and electric on 30 and 50-amp in back-in and pull-through configurations, sized to 45 feet, with fire pits, picnic tables, cable TV, and site WiFi. Pull-through sites are limited, so request one if the largest motorhomes need drive-through access. Three tent sites cover simpler camping. A general store, laundry, dump station, restrooms, showers, and firewood handle the practical side. The stocked trout pond is the centerpiece — spring-fed, with paddleboat and boat rentals, fishing, and a beach. A green meadow bordered by towering pines gives the campground its setting, with a playground, pavilion, horseshoes, shuffleboard, and picnicking filling the grounds. This is a campground rather than a destination resort, and in a region where the best sites have largely been commercialized, that character is much of the appeal. Pets are welcome. Pownal sits in Bennington County where the Berkshires extend north into Vermont's wooded hollows, less than 10 miles from both Bennington, Vermont and Williamstown, Massachusetts. Directions from the north: from the junction of Route 7 and Route 9 in Bennington, take Route 7 south 6.4 miles, left onto Barbers Pond Road 1.5 miles, right onto Old Military Road half a mile, then follow the Pine Hollow signs. Fall foliage is the peak — reserve well ahead.

from $40/night

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.

from $33/night

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.
