Active Campground

This is a lovely little campground and the owners were fantastic when we ran into issues. If you have a larger RV beware what site you choose if you need to back in as some sites are narrow and weird angles. The front of the campground has a better section for bigger rigs. They have shuttles if you want to float the river and offer a lot of other activities. 

I give the campground 5/5 but we had an interesting stay. We ended up needing to move sites because the group next to us was *awful* to put it nicely. Our second site was fantastic and our neighbors were fine.

Great place

I don't know ow why this place only has one review. We couldn't get into Dolly Copp, so we ended up here. The staff was super friendly. The site was flat and clean and surrounded by pine trees. I would have preferred more privacy, which is the only reason I took away one star. It is 25 minutes from Mt. Washington, and I would happily stay again on a trip to Mt. Washington or Mt Abrams (for mountain biking).

Riverside campground, great for paddling or hiking

This is a great campground for enjoying all the recreational activities in the Bethel, Maine area - hiking in the Grafton Notch area and AT, paddling on the Androscoggin, biking trails in the area, or sticking around and enjoy the pool. Pleasant River offers shuttles as well. The website doesn't offer a campground map and I can't remember our site number, but we were near the restroom on a level wooded site. There are also much more open RV sites.

You can email for availability, but you'll need to call to finalize a reservation.
