Wonderful campground near Mt Washington

Loved this campground! Quiet and pretty private spots - outer loop a bit more. Great facilities w wash sink - nice camp store and not at all too close to town! 20 min drive to Mt Washington (be sure to check weather as we had rain at the campground which was ice on the mtn so we couldn’t go to top/they stopped us halfway.)

P01-P-09 get you closest to the ponds

We stayed two nights at P-08 and loved both times. The side we stayed at is more for larger campers and is much quieter than the larger side. Paid showers, that’s a bummer, but we make do. Nice camp store, great access to rivers for fishing. Pulled an 8” brook trout out of a 10’ wide stream onsite. Awesome experience

Very Nice Campground

We did not have reservations so our pick of sites was limited. There are several styles of sites here from tucked in/private to open areas and not so private sites. Bathrooms were clean and there is a nice wash station to do dishes. Campground is well maintained. We came for easy access to mountain biking trails!

The most beautiful state campground

I absolutely loved this park. From the natural beauty to the very nice camp office that also serves as the camp store. Don't get me wrong, this is a quaint little park that is mostly for tenters, but we still managed to get our campers in and we're comfortable. This is a no electric hookup and no dump station park, but it's still worth your time. We took our generator and did just fine. Lots of trees, and quiet sites make this camp a peaceful retreat. They have an honest to goodness swimming hole with fresh water running off of the mountain (FYI it's freezing cold, but refreshing) The bathrooms are very nice and clean. The staff was very friendly. If you're in the White Mountains and looking for a low key stop, give Moose Brook a try.

Private sites with awesome amenities

We stayed at Moose Brook in June 2022 at site 020. We loved it. The showers and bathrooms are some of the cleanest I’ve ever seen (you have to pay for showers). The sites are extremely private but you can hear your site neighbors if they’re talking/laughing loudly. We had Sprint cell reception at the site. It was very affordable and also extremely close to town (Gorham) for restaurants and shopping.

We got there as it opened for the season

It was opening for the season when we stayed, so it was hard to get a good read on the place.

Fun creek flows through it and it looks like when they fill the swimming hole it looks like a good spot.

Check in staff could not have been nicer.

Lovely spots, great amenities

Spots are awesome, lots of trees and very clean. Gets crowded on weekends so you might be a little close to neighbors, but always tress between sites.

Amenities include hot shower (coin operated), dishwasher station, toilets... all very clean.

Spots 001-005 are close to a nice stream, great ambient noise.

Cost is 25$/night which is kinda pricy. But you get what you pay for.

Mountain Bike Heaven

Spent the weekend mountain biking with friends.  Thanks to the Coos Cycling Club and the State Parks system, the mountain bike trails in and around Moose Brook are spectacular.  The park is very clean and well maintained.  We had a very private site, but the other RV sites on the north side of the road seemed a little exposed.

There are no dump facilities on site, however, the Gorham Waste treatment plant will accommodate RV's and trailers.  We did not use those services as it was labor day.

Great place for a family

Go here every year. Clean bathrooms and amenities. Good access to hiking, Walmart, and water. :)

We live the layout and the fact our kids can ride their bikes around a circle always fairly near to us.

Staff is always on top of cleaning and helping with anything you need.

Quiet and semi-private lots. The closer to the bathrooms the less private your lot, so there is a trade off. We generally opt for close to bathrooms and showers.

Wooded and quiet

We loved Moose Brook State Park Campground. There are many wooded sites and lots of very private ones too. Some sites rim a grassy field. There’s a newer bathroom with hot water, showers, and a dishwashing station. And the location is perfect for hiking the Randolph Trails or Appalachia.

Clean and convenient

We stayed here for one night, just to make for easy driving to Mt. Washington in the morning for a hike. The campsite was clean and firewood is offered at the check-in house for $6/bundle. There are bathrooms and sinks. It is easy to drive around, I was in a sedan and we did fine. The camp sites aren't super private, but large enough that we were able to set our tent back from the road a bit.

Awesome Sept 2019 camp trip

Moose Brook State Park was beautiful! The bathroom were super clean they had a washing station that had hot water that’s a awesome plus to help get those dishes super clean. Most of the outer campsite where spread apart we searched out most of the site we loved 5,6,7,8 and the dead end loop 11,12,13 and camp site 37! The inner loop with the wide open field was beautiful but sites had limited amount of separation and just isn’t our speed. The loop/trials across the street was a great walk for the dogs. There is a Walmart close by and tractor supply less then 5 minutes away for forgotten or need supplies. We stayed at campsite 7

Love state parks. This campground is just north bordering the White Mountain NF. Close to northern trailheads. NH take care in keeping their parks orderly.

Nice site. We stayed close to the restrooms and the shower house (.75 for 3 minutes) was close walk as well.

There’s a fishing pond and a swimming pond. Super clean cold mountain water. And there’s an awesome platform for jumping or diving in.

Small and Family friendly and has that 40s vibe that's very charming.

We were welcomed by a lovely little house used as the Ranger station. A fire kept it warm and cozy. The ranger was very pleasant. We bought some fire wood for $6 a bundle… there was a private seller down the road selling it for $4.

Easy check-in. We reserved the last available site and it was near the bathroom which I wasn't that excited about but it was actually quite nice.

Nice bathrooms. Nice Shower building. Good wash-sinks.

Our site appeared to be the only one with 2 fire pits. One of them was a nice cooking/barrel type of set-up that all the other sites had. The second was an older stone and cement pit with a back wall that was perfect for sitting in front of on a chilly October evening.

Beautiful and spacious campground

My husband and I camped here over the long weekend. It was reasonably priced and we had ample space. In addition to our designated spot, we had access to a large open space behind that many people utilized to play games or expand their camping area. We also were able to access the water pump in several spots close by. The bathroom was very clean. They even had an "outdoor" cleaning space to wash our dishes. It was the perfect spot to camp for our day hikes at Mt. Moriah, Mt. Cabot, Bulge and the Horn!

Definitely will come back again!

Perfect campground for access to the White Mountains

We have stayed at Moose Brook State Park a number of times over the years to gain easy access to the hiking trails in the White Mountains. The campground is well run, manned by easy going Rangers, and is hassle free. The sites are large, with a choice of wooded, partially wooded, or open. Sites are level, with the fire ring on the correct side for people with campers. The price is good and on a number of occasions we have seen moose or bear in the area.

SiteWe stayed at site 40 (at the edge of a large field) and our buddies stayed on site 39... close, yet private also.

White Mountain Camping

This state park is located in the small town of Gorham, New Hampshire. One of the best parts about this place is its location...it isn't any where near the hustle and bustle of touristy North Conway (no offense). It sits on the northern side of Mt. Washington but not in the national forest like many of the camping areas in the vicinity. Because of this, it is often less crowded than other camping areas (like Dolly Copp and others along the Kancamangus Highway).

This state park has well maintained campsites and the group sites are in a different location, on the opposite side of the road, from the main campground which is nice. Sites have fire rings, picnic tables and nice areas to pitch tents.

There are facilities, a fishing pond and separate swimming pond where the water is quite chilly and refreshing on a summer's afternoon. There are also many hiking trails in the park and a ton of great mountain biking terrain in the park and accessible from the park. The local Coos Cycling Club maintains the trails and is constantly improving and creating more terrain. Also accessible from the park is the Presidential Rail Trail and several other ATV/Snowmobile trails. FYI, the Rail Trail is NOT open to ATVs. So hop on the moderate grade crushed gravel trail and head all the way to Pondicherry, a wildlife preserve, about 18 miles from the park. The way back is downhill.

While the campground is closed in the winter, the trails are open to fat biking, snowshoeing and cross country skiing!

The scenery at this park is beautiful any time of year!
