Belmont, NH

Silver Lake Campground

11 RV Sites, 5 Cabins

On the eastern shore of Silver Lake in Belmont, New Hampshire—in the Lakes Region's quieter inland lake country southeast of Lake Winnipesaukee—Silver Lake Campground sits directly on 600 feet of waterfront on a clear, relatively undeveloped lake that provides swimming, fishing, paddling, and the spectacular sunset views over the water that make lakeside camping in New Hampshire's Lakes Region one of the region's most enduring summer pleasures. With 76 sites, a private sandy beach, boat ramp, and cabin accommodations in a property that prioritizes waterfront access and natural character over resort-scale amenities, Silver Lake is the campground for guests who come specifically for the lake—not the programming around it. Full hookup sites with water, sewer, and 30-amp electric alongside non-hookup sites give the campground flexible accommodation across its 76-site inventory, with cabin rentals providing the enclosed option for guests who want shelter without hauling an RV. The private sandy beach provides the sunbathing and swimming access that the lake's clear water and the New Hampshire summer make irresistible, and the boat ramp gives personal watercraft owners direct Silver Lake launch access. Canoe, kayak, and paddleboard rentals available on-site allow guests without their own boats to get on the water without logistics. Planned activities, laundry, sports courts, walking trails, and a playground complete the property's amenity set in a campground whose setting does most of the experiential work. Belmont sits in Belknap County in the southern Lakes Region, where Silver Lake's clear water and the surrounding woodland landscape create the quieter, less trafficked lake experience that stands in contrast to Lake Winnipesaukee's busier shores to the north. The lake's natural character—less developed than Winnisquam to the immediate west and largely free of the commercial infrastructure that crowds Laconia's waterfront—makes it a retreat for campers who want a genuine New Hampshire lake experience rather than a resort community. The surrounding Belmont and Gilford countryside provides the rural character of the southern Lakes Region's agricultural-residential landscape. Lake Winnisquam, adjacent to Belmont's western border, provides a larger boating and water recreation option for Silver Lake guests who want Winnisquam's scale and facilities on a day excursion, and the Lakes Region's full recreational inventory—golf courses, water parks, scenic cruises on Lake Winnipesaukee, the Gunstock Mountain Resort's summer mountain biking and zip line activities—is accessible within 20 to 30 minutes. The Bank of New Hampshire Pavilion in Gilford—one of New England's premier outdoor amphitheaters—hosts major national touring acts throughout the summer season, with Belmont's proximity making Silver Lake Campground a logical concert-weekend base for the Lakes Region's entertainment calendar. Silver Lake Campground operates seasonally in New Hampshire's summer camping window, with Memorial Day through Labor Day the primary season and the July Fourth and August weeks requiring advance reservations for waterfront sites at a campground of this size and lake proximity. The shoulder season in late May through June offers the lake at its most pristine condition—recent snowmelt keeps the water exceptionally clear, and the light crowds on the beach and the boat ramp allow the uncrowded lake experience that summer peak season compresses. Reserve your site or cabin at Silver Lake Campground and let 600 feet of New Hampshire waterfront, a sandy beach, and a clear lake prove that the Lakes Region's best camping isn't always on the biggest lake in the state.

The waterfront sites are the ones to request. One arrival note worth heeding: the campground asks guests to arrive before dusk, because the sites are genuinely hard to navigate in the dark. Laundry, a general store, firewood, a dump station, a game room, and cabins cover the rest. Pets are welcome, with a dog park.

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.

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.

Holderness, NH

Winni Lakefront Cabin

1 Cabin

The Lake Winnipesaukee Lakefront Cabin in Holderness, New Hampshire, is a secluded three-bedroom lakefront cabin retreat with excellent amenities, a private dock slip, and a protected cove setting in Grafton County — a premium cabin property on one of the most celebrated lakes in New England, positioned at the southern end of the Lake Winnipesaukee watershed where the Squam Lake's quiet beauty, the lake's 28,000-acre surface, and the Mount Washington Scenic Railroad give the Holderness area the specific Lakes Region character of the New Hampshire vacation landscape that has drawn the summer cottage and resort market for 150 years. Holderness's Grafton County position at the confluence of Squam Lake and the Pemigewasset River gives the cabin its specific location on the Squam-Winnipesaukee corridor — the two lakes that together define the New Hampshire Lakes Region's most iconic vacation landscape. A three-bedroom lakefront cabin with a private dock slip and the protected cove amenities give the Winni Lakefront Cabin the premium summer vacation accommodation that New Hampshire's most beloved lake specifically sustains for the family or group that wants the complete Lakes Region lake experience in a private, fully-equipped cabin rather than the campground or resort hotel alternative — the private dock's boat access, the protected cove's swimming safety, and the three-bedroom capacity for the multi-family summer vacation group give the Holderness cabin its specific premium Lakes Region character. Pets are welcome. Lake Winnipesaukee, 28,000 acres of the Lakes Region's centerpiece lake in Belknap, Carroll, and Grafton Counties, is the largest lake in New Hampshire and one of the most visited lakes in New England — a glacially scoured lake with 365 islands (one for each day of the year, as the local tourism marketing has noted for over a century), 283 miles of shoreline, and a central position in the New Hampshire summer vacation economy that the resort communities of Wolfeboro, Meredith, Center Harbor, and Weirs Beach have sustained since the Boston and Maine Railroad's 19th-century service to Laconia gave the Boston market its first accessible New England lake resort destination. Squam Lake, immediately north of Holderness and the setting for the 1981 Academy Award-winning film "On Golden Pond," is the New Hampshire Lakes Region's most pristine and least-developed major lake — a 6,791-acre lake of uncommon clarity and the loon nesting population that the Squam Lakes Science Center's loon research program specifically monitors in the region's most recognized symbol of the New Hampshire wild lake. The Squam Lakes Natural Science Center's live animal exhibits in Holderness, with the mountain lion, the bobcat, the raptors, and the native New Hampshire wildlife in natural enclosures, give the lakeside location its wildlife education complement to the lake recreation. The Lake Winnipesaukee Lakefront Cabin serves guests through New Hampshire's Lakes Region summer season from late May through early October, with the peak season from the 4th of July through Labor Day sustaining the maximum demand for the private lakefront cabin accommodations that the Holderness cove position and the Squam-Winnipesaukee corridor give the property. The Mount Washington Cruise on Lake Winnipesaukee from Weirs Beach gives the lake the scenic steamship excursion tradition that the M/S Mount Washington has operated since 1872 in one of the longest continuously operated inland lake cruise services in the United States. Reserve the cabin well ahead — many months in advance for the peak summer season.
