ARPA Campground Projects: Phase II Information:
Greenfield State Park
Greenfield State Park will be closed throughout 2024 as we work to improve experiences for visitors. During this time, we’ll focus on multiple projects, including moving electric and communications lines underground throughout the park and upgrading water utilities. While the park is closed, we encourage everyone to take the opportunity to visit other N.H. State Parks and build new memories until we can welcome you back to Greenfield State Park again in 2025.

Improvements to the park to be completed during this time:
- Moving electric and communication lines underground throughout the park
- Upgrading water and sewer utilities
- New RV dump station to replace existing to accommodate additional RV’s
