The 46th Annual New Hampshire Camping & RV Show: March 23 to 25 at the New Hampshire Sportsplex on 68 Technology Drive in Bedford is the best place to plan your next camping trip. Sponsored by the New Hampshire Campground Owners’ Association (NeHaCa), the show runs Friday, March 23, 1:00 pm to 8:00 pm; Saturday, March 24, 10:00 am to 8:00 pm; and Sunday, March 25, 10:00 am to 5:00 pm. This is the largest show of its kind in New Hampshire.

Visit with over 80 exhibitors and see the latest model recreational vehicles, trailers, pop-up tents, camping equipment and more. RV Rental Dealers will be available for those who want to experience RV camping but are not quite ready to purchase one of their own yet. The NH Fish & Game, Parks and Recreation, and State Parks will also be exhibiting during the show. Find them and learn more about all that New Hampshire has to offer.

Take advantage of the opportunity to make reservations for next summer’s vacation or weekend getaway by booking with one of over 50 campgrounds from New Hampshire, Maine, Massachusetts, Vermont, and Connecticut that will be attending the show.

“This is a great opportunity to come see new model RV’s and trailers and at the same time meet directly with over 50 area campground owners and operators. It serves as a nice introduction to the camping season and a way to learn more about New Hampshire and what the camping industry has to offer.” said Jeremy Sprince, NeHaCa’s Executive Director and NH Camping & RV Show Manager.

The NH Camping & RV Show will have plenty of entertainment throughout the weekend. Kicking-off the show on Friday, Laura from Rock 101’s The Morning Buzz will be hanging out. On Saturday, meet Conservation Officer Glen Lucas from the television show North Woods Law. He will be available from 10:00 am-1:00 pm and 3:00 pm-8:00 pm signing autographs and talking camping and fishing with attendees. Stop by and have your picture taken with him at the NH Fish & Game booth!

Sunday is “Kids Day” and the perfect time for families to check out the show. Kids can jump in state-of-the-art bounce houses, participate in a scavenger hunt, hang out with the Bektash Shriner Clowns and see the Costume Bug from the Don’t Move the Firewood program!
