Has all you need, but busy

Despite being so remote, one of the busiest back country camps in the Whites.

Has a nice shelter, spring, privy, platforms, some sites have somewhat of a view of far away mountain tops.

No space for non-free standing tents. Quite a hike dropping down from the main trail to the campsite, 15-20 min straight up to hike out in the morning

Great Campsite on the Pemi loop

Spent a great night here.

This is a very large campground. With a large shelter renovated in 2019. Approx 10 platform sites. Some are very isolated and some with great views.

Privy is a bit of a walk. And the eating area is very small. X3 bear boxes.

Great Water source right near the eating area.

Loved this site!

Amazing Views

Step walk in and out though most of the tent plat forms have amazing views. I have stayed here twice and had great experiences. A outhouse is located at this tent site as well as pump-able water, bear boxes and a shelter. Great place to stay on the Pemi Loop. It is a carry in carry out campsite.

White Mountain Favorite

Bond cliff trail wooden platforms and a three sided cabin (fills up quickly) at 4360 ft. Getting to the sites is pretty strenuous, but totally worth it!

We got to the site, claimed our platform and hiked over to West Bond to catch a beautiful sunset. Bear box located at a communal “cooking area” and cold spring water located at the site. Composting outhouse was surprisingly very clean!

There are some overflow sites that are more private, which I wish we knew about!

Small fee of $10 to stay, caretakers are awesome and knowledgeable! Would go back again in a heartbeat!

Small but helpful

This is a classic AMC shelter in the backcountry of the white mountains. Stayed here while doing a one night trip with friends in the area. We actually stayed on one of the wood platforms since the hut was already full. It is a great site and worth staying at to see all the peaks in the area. Though be aware that the hut itself fills up quick and it only 3 sided so its still probably a good idea to bring a tent. There is a small stream to pump water from but it is seasonal. I highly suggest a sunrise peak if you have the energy to get up early!
