We had to head out a day early after thunderstorms rolled in but we really enjoyed our time. Camphost was super kind and the trek to lake was nice. The lakeside was also inviting but for weather and we'd try again next time. 

It's a quick drive to Mt. Washington State Park and a portion of the AT that comes through MD. The kiddos really enjoyed the view from the monument.

Weekends the park gets really busy so we had to ask permission to come ahead of the folks waiting to for day access but staff was kind and accommodating so if you book on weekend be prepared for long lines on the side of highway. 

Saw more good doggos here too.
