"My first time in camping in New Hampshire, the whole area is spectacular and I felt lucky to find a spot in this campground next to the stream."

"Luckily -- we were only about ten minutes from one of our favorite campgrounds in New Hampshire. Let me tell you why we like it so much."

"Cool location right on the edge of the Dry River Wilderness. Great Basecamp for lots of hikes in the area. Some spots are right on the highway with not much tree cover in between so can be loud."
"This state park campground located between Rte 302 and the Dry River in Crawford Notch is a great location for exploring family friendly trails to (Sawyer Pond, Arethusa Falls, Willard Cliffs to name a"

"-Our site was big and walking around the grounds the other sites appeared to all be pretty good sized as well. They are not lying when they call their sites secluded either!"
"Cabins and RV sites with hookups are closer yo the entrance, store and road. That latter feature is a bit if a bummer bc the noise from cars and trucks zipping by on route 302 is loud."
"over those entering campground to ensure only registered campers are coming in, separation between sites is pretty decent, dish sink to do your dishes in, playground with a large field for kids to run around"
"You can also be on a nice field or on the edge. Pool was damaged during winter and not available. 2024"
"There are tons of hiking trails in and close by the site. And other activities close by for family or adult fun like Story Land? Santa's Village, and more."
"The trail is right outside the lip of the campsite. Totally had a fun time."
GuideThis was among the mist beautiful campsites I have ever stayed at. Large sites with space between neighbors. We had enough privacy to open the shade on our big picture window on our tiny teardrop and fall asleep looking at the stars. Download an area map before you arrive, we lost cell service on the way here and couldn’t rely on navigation. Friday and Saturday nights were fully booked. On Sunday, people could drive in and pick a spot. You need cash if you pay at the entrance. Lots of license plates from NH, MA, ME. On Sugarloaf trail, we encountered lots of first-timers and lots of repeat customers.
GuideThis is a beautiful RV campground! We are backed up to the river. There is no bathroom/shower. The owners are very nice. Mary put together a very comprehensive list of places to go, things to do, etc.
ScoutI stayed here with my boyfriend on a weekend in June 2024. We came on a Friday night and there were no available sites so we slept elsewhere, got up early on Saturday and claimed an available site, pitched a tent and went about the day.
As we were leaving after having pitched our tent, we saw a guy walking the road who instantly I had a bad intuitive feeling about and my boyfriend told me not to worry about it.
After hiking for the day we came back to the site to make food and a fire, etc. After cozying up my boyfriend told me he was going to walk to the stream near by to get some water to put the fire out before bed later…
NO less than 2 minutes after my boyfriend disappeared into the woods, who do you think just so happen to come creeping up to the site while I was left alone? Ah yes, gross homeless guy that I had a bad feeling about that same morning. He started approaching me telling me there was a bear near by and to watch out as if I wasn’t aware there was wild life in the area. I told him to go away and he proceeded to walk to the opposite direction of which he came.
Most people would probably brush this off but I’m certain this man was stalking. For creepy men to have nothing better to do than stalk and bother innocent people just trying to enjoy life is infuriating. Of course this area was beautiful but sadly can’t say I’ll be coming back here and I definitely wouldn’t recommend it for solo female adventurers… Not trying to scare. Just wanted to share my honest experience here to spread awareness.
GuideWe came out here to visit dog mountain and also celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary! This place was amazing! Very close to dog mountain. The river was behind our site. Perfect place to stay! We didn’t want to leave. Everyone was very nice! More like friends or family!
LegendDanforth Bay has been the staple campground for my family through the years. Its rare to find a campground with so many spacious wooded sites overlooking the water. They seem to always have events & family friendly activities to keep kids entertained. I always appreceiate the onsite kayak rentals for exploring the river that runs along the campground. Mary’s mountain is a nice hike accessible from the RV/Boat storage area.
ScoutWe've been camping here a few years now. It has everything you need without the distractions of WiFi or Cell service (which is a plus for us).
Fun large pond big enough for a nesting pair of loons. Nice for an afternoon paddle with no wake.
TravelerWe stayed on site #5 because it was flat, sunny, grassy and had a little brook. Had some passing by traffic but each site is far apart from each other.
GuideThis is a very nice campground. There are new owners, when we got there it was the beginning of the season.
TravelerNew shower and bathroom building was clean. Campsites were well spaced.
