  Sebago Lake State Park Campground

  Good blend of tents and RVs.

  This is a large campground right on the lake. Half of area is set up with RV hookups, so it nicely separates the tents from the RVs.

  Crocker Pond

  Simply a beaut

  Into the Whites from West Bethel, Crocker Pond is an off the beaten path car camping destination. Beautiful place to set up camp for a night to 14 days. The campground is situated along the wooded banks of the small Crocker Pond, with about 5 of the 7 sites directly on the water. A short drive to Rt 113 in the Whites along the Maine/ NH border. Caribou Mountain is an awesome 6.7 mile looped hike in this area. Great bang for your buck.

  Black Brook Cove Campground

  Rustic Campground on a majestic lake

  Stayed here after looking around for a get away weekend with a friend to go adventuring and looking for fishing locations for the future.  At first impression this campground looks a little old and unkempt, but our stay was nice and all the people we interacted with were great. 

  They have a general store with basic supplies, a boat launch, RV hookups, and a shower/laundry shack.

  The grounds could use some maintenance but it was a good place to swing my hammock and park the RV.

  Danforth Bay Camping & RV Resort

  Lots of amenites and campsite options

  This campground is huge with over 300 sites set on nearly 200 acres and along a beautiful lake! It is in a great location between the Lakes Region and the White Mountains in New Hampshire with lots to do in and outside of the campground. There are two distinct and separate sections– the Danforth Bay Camping and RV Resort and The Bluffs RV Resort. 

  They assigned us to a pull thru site (#A16) in the Danforth Bay section that would supposedly fit our 45’ motorhome. When we pulled in the place was packed. The people camped across from us had a huge group of people and a massive load of wood delivered that was in huge pile and it was obvious that fire was going to burn all day and through the weekend. The neighbors on one side of us had a table set up at the end of their site and were selling hand-made goods with their kids. We decided this was not really where we wanted to be for a peaceful fall weekend. Much less, our site was not very easy for us to get in and out of. The office agreed to move us to a site in The Bluffs section which they said were normally only for seasonal campers but they would make an exception since they were closing for the season in one week. They informed us the water would be turned off during our stay but that was fine with us since we have a large freshwater tank that we could fill up before. The site we were assigned to was all gravel with absolutely no grass which was fine with us because we were away from the ciaos of the other section. 

  The park was very clean and well-cared for with no trash laying around. Campsites were tidy and people didn’t have lots of junk laying around. There are some transient sites in the Danforth Bay section that are nice and private and some are close to the lake. The campground is huge so you can get a nice walk in without having to go round and round. There is a lake which was great for our lab to swim in and made for a pretty spot to enjoy a glass of wine at sunset. There are tons of camping options at this park and loads of amenities like a camp store, multiple pools, a boat launch, game room, multiple pavilions, free weekend entertainment, hay rides, lots of restrooms, dog parks and lots more. Since we were there in the end of the season, many amenities were closed and the activities had wrapped up for the season.

  Apple Hill Campground

  Nice place for the price

  Older campground, friendly staff with lots of older seasonal sites. We paid $35 for a full hook up and had no problems. Rest rooms could use some updating, the large one was clean, the smaller one not so much and had no TP that day. The fire pits were full of ashes so maybe he only cleans it once a week and we were there on a Wednesday. For that price I would stay there again if I was in the area.

  Eastern Slope Camping Area

  Just okay now!

  We used to come here every year but move on since. It’s been 7 years & we came back for Columbus Day weekend for an overnight. Maybe it was just this weekend but it was pricey at $45 per night. I’ll start with the bad first. The site are very close to each other. If you fart, all surrounding site will here you. Rain, yep, when it rains it floods the sites near the bathroom toward the beginning of the entrance. Big RV will have trouble maneuvering in here because it is tight. On to the good. Each site (except beach) has a wood canopy, picnic bench, electrical, water spigot & designated fire pit. Bathrooms are close to every site. The beaches along the Saco river is awesome but they took away the cliff jumps and put boulders there. I think the rope swings are still there. We used to stay here long term but now it just ehh. Funny fact: NH law says you can’t burn wood from out of state. But the wood that they sell is from Maine. LOL

  Cannon RV Park — Franconia Notch State Park

  Small, private and quiet

  This is one of our favorite trips every year! The campground is small, only 7 sites, but located at the base of Cannon mountain nestled next to Echo lake it's simply breathtaking! No frills but has full hook ups since 2016. A definite must see!

  Lakeside Pines Campground

  Beautiful waterfront campsite.

  We had a beautiful waterfront campsite (Site 113). The lake is gorgeous. Rocks make direct access to the water from the site difficult, but there is a beach for water access not too far away. The staff was extremely nice and helpful. The only cons: The sites are a little small and do not have any trees between them to shield you from those next to you. It appears that a majority of the tenants who were there during our visit were long term tenants so it has a bit of a different feel than some of the other campgrounds we’ve visited. Also, the road is tight so be prepared to drive close to trees. :) You’re within 30 minutes to White Mountain National Forest, which is gorgeous!

  White Birches Camping Park

  A little something for everyone

  This Camping Park has something for just about everyone. Whether you have an RV (small, medium or large), tent, are looking for a cabin or want a little more of a wilderness feel, this place has something to offer. 

  While the campground looks to be primarily RV camping from the road, there are many tent sites tucked away in the trees and even two sites that are walk-in only and are situated right on the Androscoggin River. Additionally, the campground has several nice cabins available as well.

  Let's start with the RV sites: there are a bunch! This campground also hosts many seasonal campers who have sites situated around the perimeter of both sides of the campground (split by Route 2). Seasonal campers have some pretty sweet set-ups for sure. The only downside to some of the RV spots is that they can be in the sun almost all day which can be a bit much in the heart of the summer. Otherwise, sites are well maintained and have all the normal hookups for RVs.

  Tent sites are well spaced and almost all of them are in the shade which is a huge bonus! Each site has a picnic table, fire ring and nice level spot to pitch your tent. Bath houses are conveniently located throughout the campground and are well maintained. 

  The two walk-in tent sites are very secluded and offer fire rings, picnic tables, a bear box and one of the two sites has a wooden tent platform. The second site's tent platform is currently being built (July 2020) and should be at the site and ready for use soon. These sites sit right on the beautiful Androscoggin River, offering a serene backdrop for your camping adventure.

  The campground is situated in-between two large tracts of the White Mountain National Forest. Great hiking is available at the campground as well as a short drive away. If hiking is a hobby of yours, look no further! This is a great location to base yourself out of to get some solid miles under your belt. There is a campground office that has a small store as well as laundry facilities. They also offer an AT Hiker Hostel. They also have a nice heated swimming pool, playground and many other amenities. When there isn't a global health pandemic, they have a bouncy house for the kids. They often show movies on the lawn when the weather cooperates. They also rent kayaks and you can launch from the campground or they will shuttle you some place near by.

  It really is a campground with a little bit of everything! Owned by locals of the community who have run the place for over 25 years.

  On the Saco Family Campground

  Cute family rv area

  This RV area was great for families, there were a lot of kids which was nice and it felt very safe. Checking in was super easy and the lady that helped us was super sweet and informative. We had wood delivered to our campground and the guy who delivered the wood it was really nice as well. There were a lot of large parties that can get a little bit loud but quiet hours are 10 o’clock and it settles right down. We have just gotten a new camper van and wanted to test it out and this was a great spot to start. Super easy full hook ups!

  White Ledge Campground

  Rustic with road noise, but great location for hiking, climbing, exploring

  White Ledge Campground is in the White Mountain National Forest and should not be confused with nearby White Lake State Park. Located a few miles south of the Kancamagus and Conway, you have ready access to the Carter Ledge trail up Mt Chocurua or shorter loop trails. 

  The sites are generally large and wooded. Designated tent sites are not suitable for RVs/trailers because the site may require a short walk or steps. Facilities include potable water and vault toilets. There are no hookups and no dump station. The lack of amenities contributes to the low fee of$20/night, though online reservation fees will add somewhat to that. If you want a shower, they are available at Jigger Johnson campground along the Kancamagus Hwy, about 20 minutes away.

  If you head up on a holiday weekend, get an early start or be ready for traffic. The loop for sites 14-28 parallels NH16; you WILL hear and even see road traffic and Rte 16 is busy.  Sites 2-5 are more open, larger, and suitable for RV or tent. Site 10 is a nicely wooded, level site for tent or RV. About half the sites are reservable. The campground is open Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend.

  Bethel Outdoor Adventure and Campground

  Great river access, close to town.

  We chose to stay at this campground because it was close to downtown Bethel, had river access, and had a full hook-up site for our 45’ RV. Campsites vary from full hook-up pull through to grassy shaded private sites perfect for tent camping. The sites are pretty close together and ours was a buddy site which meant our patio faced our neighbor’s patio. Since the sites were so close, we were practically sitting next to them. Luckily, they were nice people and we enjoyed talking to them. 

  Not all sites are level and we found it difficult to get into because of the tight roads and dangling tree limbs. Some of the best sites are unfortunately reserved for work campers. These are pull-ins with a view of a grassy field. The wifi at our site (#21) was horrible and we never used it. There is no cable and we were not able to pick up any over-the-air television channels. The campground is pretty wooded which was nice for the shade but meant we were not able to get satellite reception with our dome mounted receiver. We ended up using our portable receiver and after two days of moving the unit we were finally able to lock into the satellites. 

  We selected a 50-amp full hookup pull through site which was $46/night. Our sewer was uphill at our site which is a big pet peeve of ours and super annoying when it comes to empty the tanks. The 50-amp worked well and it was well-placed in the site as was the water. The roads and campsites are gravel and the patios are a mix of gravel and grass. Each site has a picnic table and fire pit. The campground is adjacent to a paved walking/biking path that leads to downtown Bethel. We used the path to walk over to the farmers market and found it very convenient to walk our dog. There is also a mowed path through a field that we also liked for walking our dog. 

  The best aspect of this campground is the access to the Androscoggin River. The park rents kayaks, canoes, and tubes and has a shuttle service that will take you up river for so you can float back to the campground. We used the campgrounds shuttle livery service to take our kayak and paddleboard up river for a leisurely float down the river so we could enjoy the scenery, have a picnic, and fish. (Since we used our own boats, the coast was cheaper.) The campground offers this service to non-campers which meant there were a lot of people walking through the campground. The bathroom in the campground was old and tired and heavily used by people floating the river which and was pretty dirty. They also have a sluice on the property, where (for a fee) you can get a bucket of mined material and get to sort through it looking for minerals and gems. Whatever you find, you keep. 

  The campground is located off Route 2 which is fairly convenient but the road noise was pretty loud as this is a heavily trafficed road. Downtown Bethel is just a few minutes away and has a brewery, grocery, restaurants, shops, and the Maine Mineral and Gem Museum. About five miles away is Sunday River which is a ski area. We took the chair lift up the mountain so we could hike around and take in the beautiful views.  On the way, we stopped at Sunday River Brewery and had a delicious meal and great beer.

  Naples Campground

  Family fun

  We went RVing here, like the vast majority of people. I wouldn’t want to tent camp here. There were a lot of activities for kids and adults on the weekend. The bath houses were new and nice.

  The new area has no trees and just looks like a big RV parking lot, but the older part has plenty of trees.

  Sunshine Valley RV Park

  No frills at a new and developing campground with great sky views.

  This hilltop RV park is still in its infancy, but offers pull through sites, seasonal sites with sewer. Water is available from a tank; you'll need to provide your own power, whether solar or generator. You'll need to be self-contained, with no bathroom facilities available. The sites are separated by grass and some small trees/shrubs in places.

  There is a small pool that should re-open after the coronavirus restrictions are eased.  If you're driving a big rig and have an ATV or other toys, you'll want to take a look here. There's plenty of space for your vehicle, trailer, and toys!

  It's right next door to Milan Hill State Park and is convenient to ATV trails as well as hiking, walking, and biking opportunities in the area. Take a walk over to Milan Hill SP and climb the fire tower! Sites at the top of the hill provide a view of peaks in the distance. Jericho Mtn with its trails is also within 30 minutes drive.

  Follow them on FB and they'll help you stay up to date with trail openings and closures. If you need to register your OHRV, you can do that at the campground.

  If you've forgotten something, Berlin is nearby and Gorham offers a Walmart Supercenter.

  It was the end of the season when I visited and there were signs of ongoing development.

  Chocorua KOA

  Small, quiet family campground

  The Chocorua KOA is a great campground with super friendly staff, a variety of sites and lots of activities and things to do for everyone in the family.

  We stayed with two other families on pull-through full hook-up sites 43, 45, and 47. Although we were on the main road, we really enjoyed these sites. They were wooded and in a central location close to the playgrounds, pavilion, beach and nature trails. Site 45 was pretty narrow but the other two sites had a bit more space so we mostly used 43 and 47 to hang out. We especially loved that the pull-through road behind our sites was not a main access road so we had a nice long stretch of road that was just for us. We played games and the kids road bikes without having to worry about cars driving through.

  There are also a lot of really nice tent sites along the water, cabins, teepees, lodges and great areas for groups to camp. They are fairly strict with quiet hours so it is a very quiet campground at night.

  The facilities are nice and clean. The pavilion and fire pit area are a nice place to gather with games and a mining station to enjoy. There are two playgrounds for little and big kids. The bathrooms are quite dated but clean. The pool is freezing cold so the kids didn’t swim much. The beach area is small and not deep enough to swim but the kids enjoyed playing in the sand and water. There are a lot of options for boat rentals- paddle boats, kayaks, canoes, paddle boards, and row boats. There is a beautiful board walk that leads through the marsh to a system of short nature trails. We really enjoyed walking the trails though some need a lot of work due to fallen trees and overgrowth. There were also a lot of free activities for the kids like crafts, wagon rides and games with a full schedule of events. You really never have to leave this campground!

  This is also an incredibly dog-friendly campground with a fun dog park, a special swimming pond just for dogs and doggie day care available. This is one of the most pet loving campgrounds we’ve ever camped in and our pup loved it!!

  We had a great trip and will definitely be back!

  Quick overnight

  Stayed for a quick overnight. The electric and water sites we stayed at was just dirt, no grass anywhere. The full hookups looked better from what I saw. They were very gracious on a late check out for us so we could go explore before leaving which was great.

  Jefferson Campground

  Right place, but expensive.

  This spot was located near Mt. Washington, which was what we needed, we booked late so we ended up here. It’s fine, full hookups, decent in and out, probably great views when it isn’t foggy. We found that the USFS park at Dolly Cobb had MANY open sites, the website just didn’t know it. So, if you want full hookups, this is the place. If you want close to Washington, there are other options.

  Granger Pond Camping Area

  Private campground with primarily seasonal semi permanent sites

  Most sites are seasonal semi permanent and are well manicured. It was very quiet considering how many people were there.  The facilities and grounds are clean and well maintained. Full hookups are available at most daily sites but pay only for what you need. 

  Sites are gravel and moderately spaced with good privacy. 

  Camping is on the hill above the lake. The pond(lake) is a short walk or drive down a steep hill. Children may wade in the roped beach area while swimmers go out to the raft. Take advantage of the Kayaks available for rent and explore this quiet pond. Listen for the Loons in the evening.

  Ammonoosuc Campground

  Great campground, great location

  Just a weekend stay up in Twin Mountains. Check in was fast and efficient. Site was clean, plenty big enough. We tented, but majority of sites were for RVs. Good mix of seasonal campers and daily.

  Pool was small but sized right for the size of the campground. Price is great. Even reasonable prices on wood.

  Nice little covered storage open style shed on the site... at first confused why it was there, but it makes for a handy little spot to store gear and keep everything dry.

  Perfect area for fishing on the river. Hiking Mount Hale or Zealand.... etc
