Welcome to Brighton State Park, located on the shores of Spectacle Pond. The outstanding attraction of this area is its remoteness: mountains with tree-covered slopes, fast running streams, and clear lakes. It is common to hear loons calling at night. The wild lands to the northeast and southeast of the town of Island Pond are suited to the angler, the hunter, or the outdoor lover who likes to roam away from developed roads or towns. Logging roads into the deeper reaches of this area offer adventurous side trips.
Island Pond enjoyed a heyday from the late 1800's until the Depression years, along with the fortunes of the Grand Trunk railroad between Montreal, Canada and Portland, Maine. Island Pond was the site of the first international railroad junction in the United States. At the height of the town’s population, its streets were lively with railroad men and loggers, most of whom rode in on one of the 13 rail tracks that passed through town. A mere two tracks remain today. The unique wooden bridge, which once held all 13 tracks, is gone, but the heritage of railroading is still evident in the well-kept train station and a few associated structures at the north end of town.
Cabin at Brighton State Park The park has five cabins available to rent There are 5 cabins, 54 tent/RV sites and 23 lean-to's. All three restrooms have flush toilets, hot and cold running water and coin-operated hot showers. A sanitary dump station is available, but there are no hookups. There are hiking trails, a campers' beach with boat rentals, a nature museum, an amphitheater, a garage theater, and a play area. At the nearby day use area (at the southern end of Island Pond) there is a long, sandy beach, a bathhouse with restrooms, and boats available to rent.
There are 5 cabins at the park that are available to rent. They are all located near the waterfront.

Buck Rub's Hidden Acres Campground (formally Hidden Acres) is located in the heart of New Hampshire's picturesque North Country, and features large shaded camping sites for RV's or tents. Each site has water and electrical hook-ups. The bath house with showers will make your stay even more pleasant.
There is always something to do in the pittsburg area. Don't forget your fishing poles, boat/kayak, and swimming suit because our area has some of the best lakes in the state. Back lake is within walking distance to the boat launch and Lake Francis and the Connecticut lakes are all in the immediate area. If you bring your ATV, you can drive right onto the trails from the campground! You might even see some wildlife on your adventures.
If you want to cross the border into Canada, be sure to have your passport. You can drive about a half-hour to Coaticook to do some shopping or take a longer drive (about 1.5-2 hours) and spend the day visiting the Granby Zoo. On a rainy day, you can come on over to the Buck Rub Lodging Office and get ice cream, (summer season)sit in our screened porch and play a board game or go to the Buck Rub Pub for a great meal and some video arcade games. There's also bowling in Colebrook which is about a 1/2 hour away.

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.)
Traveler
Great campground! Clean, well maintained, playground and heated pool. The view of the mountains was worth the price alone
Guide
This campground is wonderful for camping with kids. It has a great playground and a small but nice and clean pool.
The amenities are clean and well taken care of.
Super nice staff is the finishing touch for this great campground.
Spaces are reasonably spacious and in wooded area.
We would definitely recommend.
TravelerWe 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
GuideWe booked 2 nights and stayed for 3! Nice small campground with very clean bathrooms and showers! Staff was friendly and mountain biking trails were good and easy to get too.
GuideWe 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!
Legend
I come back to this area every year; I missed my spring trip this year though. A friend was camping and invited me to join them. We had a site on the B loop, I have only camped on the A loop...
The site was nice with some great rock features, the sites have enough space between them to give privacy, but you know you're not alone. The facilities on the B loop are vintage 1950s, simple clean but not new or the same caliber as the facilities on A loop. Plenty of water faucets on the B loop.
Both A & B are easy to get around on, all of the roads are dirt but well maintained. Both loops have their own Trash and Recyling. The access road into the park is a well-maintained dirt road and about 5 miles long. Look for the bears, and other cutouts creatures in the clearings on the way in.
This campground is remote and it's about 45 min. to the nearest town. There is no cell service, even with a booster. The lake is wonderful.
TravelerWe went to this campground for the ATV event, and were pleasantly surprised. Our campsite was up in the “back” over looking the mountain. It was great. Quiet and good location.
Guide
Stayed for a quick overnight. The electric and water sites we stayed at was just dirt, no grass anywhere. The full hookups looked better from what I saw. They were very gracious on a late check out for us so we could go explore before leaving which was great.

We stayed 4 nights and everything was perfect. Staff are very helpful and nice. The store had everything we needed. The surrounding area has some much to explore
RangerI 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.
LegendWe made the mistake of camping here for the 4th of July and should have known better, especially with a dog terrified of fireworks! While they aren't allowed in the State Park, much of the lake is private property...so between the rule breakers and the private land owners this was a cacophony of noise for days. The other bummer about this park in particular is that many of the sites were marked as reserved even though they sat empty for the three nights we were there and many of them were lakeside. Sadly, no shows don't forfeit their sites which was frustrating.
Our site, though not on the water, was nice and had a lean-to. The nice new bathhouse was also very much appreciated. Though it seemed that the drainage system could use some work, as the showers continually backed pretty far up. Thank goodness for shower shoes!
The campground employee was incredibly talkative and a little nosy but we didn't mind it so much sense we are generally well behaved campers.
Our site was spacious and we enjoyed having a lean-to for some shade. It easily accommodated two vehicles, two canoes, three dogs and four humans. Firewood and ice are readily available. Be prepared to drive a fair distance down gravel roads to get there.
There are a few hiking trails available in the park as well as several public access points to the lake. There is also a small swimming area/beach.
Legend
As we got about a mile from the campground we had a moose walk out in the street in front of us. It looked at us for a few minutes and took off. That was a great sign. We were there for 14 nights over the 4th of July. We were in site 42 which has a waterview. You can kayak right from your campsite. It's a little tight trying to back in, yet the site itself is big. We had water & electric and there is a dump station onsite. Our site was shaded and private. They sell ice & firewood there along with a small store with a few supplies. We had a great sunset view and then the lighting bugs come out. The bullfrogs would sing and the Loons are nice to hear & see.
The staff and volunteers were amazing, helpful and you can tell they love their jobs.
There are some waterfront sites near the swim beach too some do not have any shade.
Site 1D is right on the water and has a little shade. Site 1 C next to 1 D isn't bad either. Site 41 is nice yet it's more for a tent camper. Site 43 backs up to the boat house so you don't have water access yet it's a big shaded site.
They have primitive sites you can boat to or you can hire the park to take you back & forth. I believe some are as far as 12 miles from the park. They have these metal boats that the front end drops down you can walk stuff right on & off the boat. There are side bar kayak/canoe carriers too so you can take your kayak with you. The park also rents kayaks & canoes.
We really enjoyed sitting on our chairs in the water at our site watching the boat take people out.
There is a nice bath house and laundry room. There are some cabins too.
When you leave the park and go left your in Maine within a few miles. There is a little store called Upton's that has some food, beer & wine, water and items for sale along with they do lunches and breakfast sandwiches. We bought some chicken salad, potato salad and fresh carrot cake cupcakes from there it was good. If you pass the store you will come to Grafton Notch state park. There are some overlooks and hiking trails. Screw Auger falls was nice and the beautiful wildflowers were in full bloom.
When you leave the park and turn right toward Errol there is a small grocery store that was just opening they had some groceries and Liquor. There is large outfitter/grocery/ Ace hardware store and a gas station. It was packed. We needed propane so Ace filled our tank. The outfitter store sells hunting/fishing permits and any sporting good item you can think of. There are a few little stores to shop for a souvenir.
Before you get to Errol you can take a right onto route 16 and drive to rangeley Maine. What a cute town with shops and good places to eat. There was a fresh market on wednesdays and a fresh seafood truck that sold good seafood from the truck. We bought native scallops, Salmon & shrimp and made a excellent dinner. The first 7 miles of 16 were a little rough yet once you hit the border of Main it's all new paved road. We ate at Parkside & main. Had a lobster roll of coarse and the clam chowder was the best. On the way back to camp we got some farm fresh eggs for $3.00 a dozen. There is an IGA grocery store there too.
We really enjoyed just sitting in our chairs in the water at our site and chilling. There were a lot of baby ducks that would visit everyday. They would swim around us & between us while we sat in the water. Very peaceful and quiet.
On the 4th of July someone had some great fireworks and put on a good show. We loved this campground it was a beautiful place to spend time.

Wooded sites, some a bit less private than others. Beach for swimming / paddling. Lean to options. There were some larger groups while there. Staff very helpful.

On the grounds of a roadside motel just 6 miles from Sugarloaf and east access to the AT, this newly added 13+ campsites are easy in and out, well appointed and have wonderful facilities. Toilets, hot showers, gazebo with fire pit, lounge with WiFi, full kitchen, TV, games and more. Great place to meet other campers and hikers and share a meal.
Traveler
Our stay at Moose River Campground was so nice and peaceful. Our site was pristine and backed by the river. Extremely clean and well kept Campground. The owners are wonderful and very friendly. We would be thrilled to go back.
ScoutStayed on the larger loop. Nice bathhouse with pay showers. Excellent 2 station set of double sinks for dishwashing. Not great for larger RV or trailers but we found accomodation for our 27 footer.

The spots are so close to each other that I could hear my neighbor flush their toilet from inside my rv. It was a 110 conversion electric not 30 amp. No dump site on property, i was told my only option was to go down the road to Willo Campground and i could dump my tanks there for $30. Absolutely no internet or phone service in the campground, WiFi worked only if you went up to the office.
Traveler
Just beautiful, love the river and lake, super clean, nice hosts. 6 miles from Canada and trails.

The pictures and website is a fraud. The amenities are non-existent. The mini golf and waterslide are closed and have been for years. They are in total disrepair. The adult pool was closed and green with algae. The kid pool, 3 feet deep with no railing on the steps, was closed on Saturday but finally opened on Sunday. I almost fell walking down the steps. Kids are allowed to go to the pool unsupervised because"their mom works there". They are out of control with their diving and jumping in continuously to make the biggest splash that you can't enjoy the pool at all. People were complaining because their sight was not mowed when they arrived. We saw numerous electrical boxes hanging and hazardous on numerous sights. You had to pay for wifi and it was still spotty. The restrooms/showers were so disgusting that I refused to use them. Many of the bathrooms did not even have toilet paper in them. Water was running down the walls and everything was wet including the toilet paper which made it impossible to get any if you tried. I was told by area businesses that the owner just doesn't care any more and doesn't want to fix anything. His son has no interest in taking over the business so all the owner is doing is collecting money. The workers make excuses saying"there was a group the week before that destroyed things and broke windows" but that is all a lie. The fact is that this place became uninhabitable about 10 years ago and that is why the owner does not allow the city to inspect it. If the city came in they would shut them down as unsafe and hazardous to your health. I will never go here again as there are so many other beautiful camping areas around there that don't falsely advertise and mislead the public. Do yourself a favor and do not stay here. It wouldn't be worth it if it was free.

All about the family, from the owners to the guests family friendly first
LegendGeneral: 27 sites with electricity and water, two cabins, 33 remote campsites, and four remote cabins in isolated locations around Umbagog Lake accessible only by boat.
Site Quality: Some sites have a lake view while some are tucked in among the trees. Site 1A was the fourth up from the lakeshore but still gave us a decent view of the lake. A fire ring and picnic table were at the site. My one complaint is that the electric hookup was so far from where we had to park that we were unable to access it without a very long extension cord (which we did not have). Fortunately, we did not need electricity.
Bathhouse: Quite possibly the most immaculate campground bathroom I’ve ever encountered! They are cleaned at 8 am but when we arrived at 6:30 pm, they were still very clean. Soap and paper towels are appreciated. There was also a vault toilet closer to the wooded sites, although it would not be an unreasonable walk to the main bathhouse.
Activities/Amenities: Boat launch and slips, fishing, and swimming. Canoe and kayak rentals are available. The building that has restrooms, laundry, and showers also has a large deck with chairs so you can enjoy the view. The sunsets can be spectacular! There is a small store at the office.
Although just an overnight stay for us, it was very enjoyable. We conversed with a ranger in the morning, and he told us that even when the campground was full (in the summer months), it is a very quiet campground.

We paid extra for a gourmet dinner experience in the gazebo. Totally worth it!!
ScoutBathrooms and showers were clean. The trail is right outside the lip of the campsite. Totally had a fun time.
LegendWe brought our friends to this remote park in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont. This park offers many outdoor recreational opportunities. We were able rent kayaks and explore the lake. Many looons and other waterfowl were spotted as well. The park also has a nice hiking trail that scales part of the lake. Because it is so remote from civilization we were also able to relax in our spacious and semi secluded sites.
Traveler2022 Oct, we stayed here a week with our 24' TT. Fall foliage was unbelievable throughout the area.
Campsite had a fire ring with grill top, 30amp elec, and potable water. Park facilities included newer showers, flush bathrooms, laundry, boat ramp, trailer parking, docks, beach, kayak and boat rentals, small general store at office.
There are some spots down near the lake and on the right side of the entry rd where larger RV's could fit, other sites would be limited to 24' rig max. Dump station is a single station with non potable water hose at station. Dump station is EZ to get into. There are valt toilets located close to all sites.
Errol NH is a 10 min drive with a great sporting good store, a general store, gas station with Diesel and propane and some restaurants. Walmart is about 20 min away.
We really enjoyed our week here, camp and facilities were clean and well kept.
RangerThis campground is right on the lake with access to boating and fishing. The bathrooms are clean and also nice showers. The overall layout of the sites is a little weird as you pull around. I wish that they had more hiking trails accessible from the campground but it’s still a nice campground. We had site 42 reserved for 6 nights and unfortunately when we arrived someone had already set up camp with a tent. Apparently a couple came in the night before and the camp host just assumed it was us and let them camp. We ended up with a non waterfront site #2 right in front of the bath house and backed right up to a construction site of private property bordering the campground. I’d avoid sites 48, 49, and 8 as they are very close to the rv dump station. The campground map shows another dump in front of sites 1 and 2 but it’s only the bathhouse no dump. #42 has the best privacy and water access in my opinion but only if you have a smaller rv
