"This small, private campground just outside Grafton Notch State Park offers clean, level, quiet sites with hot showers. If you don’t need wi-fi and hook-ups, this is the place for you!"
TravelerThere are 15 tent sites along the water, and a quick walk from the parking area. There is no running water, only a porta potty but it was great for a place to stay the night while exploring the white mountains
GuideThis park would be described as a local family getaway park, camping, swimming or just sitting by the ocean.
TravelerWe had a great stay at coos canyon campground! Didn't have too much interaction with staff, but when we did they were very friendly. We had site 7. Sites are good size, and not super close to neighbors. Wifi only works at the camp store, there are extenders throughout the camp, and it worked at our site the first day but didn't after that. The office was surprised it worked for us on day 1 and said they couldn't fix it because it wasn't supposed to work. There isnt any activities like some other campgrounds we've been to, just a small playground, but the canyon and the river give you lots of outdoor things to do. Rent a pan or sluice from the coos canyon rock and gem shop a 3 min walk from the office and pan for gold in the river right from the campground! Fishing, hiking, cliff jumping, and swimming can all be done with a quick walk all while staying in the campground. The camp store has some bare necessities, but did not have any bug swatters (the horse flys can get crazy here) but a spatula from the camp store worked OK. We will definetly be back for some more gold prospecting!
TravelerEveryone was friendly. The kitchen/dish washing lean-to was a wonderful addition!! Loved that it had a coffee maker
GuideUsed this spot for two day stop-over to visit family nearby. Friendly and accommodating. Terrain is a little hilly and tight for large vehicles. Sights are comfortable size. We were there mid-week before school let out. Very quiet.
GuideThis a beautiful spot, right on the Lake, listened to the loons, watched Canadian Geese with their goslings and saw a bald eagle swoop down and try to get something. There is a Really nice grocery store near by. We went to Maine Cabin Masters Store, which if you’re a fan was fun.
GuideThis is a very nice campground. There are new owners, when we got there it was the beginning of the season.
TravelerNew shower and bathroom building was clean. Campsites were well spaced.
GuideMy family of 4 tent camped for 1 night as we were making our way from Maine back to Indiana as part of our summer ‘24 New England camping adventure road trip. Roads through the White Mountain National Forest were easy to navigate. The campground roads were paved.
Upon entering campground we saw many “beware of bear signs”. The campground ranger station confirmed that black bear are prominent and will venture across picnic tables and sites, so be certain to store food & toiletries safely per rules!
Our campground loop was “HAYE” and very quiet and clean. We tent camped at site 130. It was near restroom. The restroom was well lit and very clean. Lots of room inside to change clothes and freshen up at sink. We were sure to bring a flashlight to check surroundings to ensure no bear surprises at night! There were shower houses at other campground loops. Half of the showers didn’t work upon inserting coins, so that wasn’t ideal, but they were clean facilities, so my advice would be to check the shower is functioning before stripping down!
We didn’t get to explore the forest trails as this was more of a 1-night stop, but I will definitely come back. I was hoping to see moose! There are signs to watch for moose throughout the forest as they are definitely around.
We booked tickets to the Mount Washington Cog Train months in advance, so we got to explore the area & views via steam train - highly recommend!!!
