    Island Pond, Vermont

    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.

    Pittsburg, New Hampshire

    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.

    Grafton Notch Campground

    Five years later, still five stars!

    General: Small (15-site) campground near Grafton Notch State Park (but not IN the park). No hookups. Not all will agree with me, but I am glad no generators are allowed.

    Site Quality: Sites are gravel, level, and have enough trees to afford privacy between sites. 

    Bath/Shower House: It is immaculately clean. Each gender has two stalls and one ADA-accessible shower. The shower has nice warm water and a great flow. There is also a very clean vault toilet. 

    Activities/Amenities: Horseshoes and cornhole in the lawn area in the center. Information on many local hikes. Rocky beach has tables where you can sit and relax. There are two dishwashing sinks, potable water, and a dump station. 

    What makes this campground shine is the owner, Mo. We’ve stayed in many campgrounds but hands down, Mo takes more pride in her campground than any other we’ve been in. Seasonal decorations, flower pots, and Mo is an on-site presence to answer questions, engage in conversation, and make sure the sites and all facilities are pristine. We stayed here five years ago and look forward to hopefully staying again in the future. About the only thing I can find fault with is the proximity to the road but even at that, road noise is minimal.

    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.)

    Hogan Road Pulloff near Appalachian Trail

    Easy access. Somewhat secluded.

    About 1km (.6 miles) of gravel road, easy enough for a big road bike, but don’t go any further as it gets rough. Plenty of trees to hang your hammock. Enough space to put up to 3-5 tents. No fire allowed. Would be really quiet if not for the road across the lake. I saw one truck in the evening and one in the morning.

    The each campsite is nice and private--I was lucky enough to get a site on the lake for my stay! The shower houses/restrooms are amazing--one big open room with a large shower, toilet, sink, bench, and towel rack. The only downside is you have to press the button for the shower to run, and it's only a few seconds each push, so you're constantly pressing a button as you're mid scrubbing. But hey--after a long day of hiking or swimming, that's no big deal!

    Pleasant stay at Stony Brook

    The staff was very nice and helpful during our stay. There are a variety of sites to choose from and a bunch of things to do around the campground. The campground store also had a good supply of items, too. It sounds like the new owners are making improvements around the campground, so I'm excited to see how it comes along if I'm in the area again in the future!

    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!

    Still a great campground!

    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.

    A slice of paradise

    This is my 2nd year returning to lone mountain river front camping in Andover Maine. The peace and tranquility here is tough to beat. We reserved a river front site which are primitive, meaning no hook ups of any kind. Also reserved a water/electric site. Best of all wide open field with incredible dark sky seeing. Full moon this year. Oh well. Owners here are super friendly and keep the property in terrific shape. Bathrooms / showers very well maintained . The location gives you mountain weather which can be changeable, be prepared & check forecast. Great WiFi in RV sites. Not so much on river. Site has a small store. Ice, wood ect. There is a general store in Andover called Mills general store. All in one stop. Food beverage gas fish stuff. You name it it there. The web site is well put together and easy to navigate. Prices are comparable to going rates.

    A Hidden Gem with hidden spots

    Here I am, going to ruin it... no, really pretend you didn't read this... The main campground is nice, it has some great group spots, and some close sites, even a few semiprivate ones. After all it is a campground build on an old section on RTE 16.  The campground as others have mentioned is right on the river, and a wonderful river it is.

    This is primitive camping, no water, no electrical, but it does have pit toilets and boat rentals and a day use area.

    The hidden spots though are totally private and not at the main site but else ware on rte. 16, the ranger told me about them.  They are amazing (I didn't say that)

    Access is easy for any vehicle, minimal cell coverage.

    They are currently doing a dig and finding some amazing artifacts!

    Primitive Camping at it's most Public

    This location is Beautiful, but it comes at the cost of privacy.  When I first discovered this spot, it wasn't an official campsite, people just came here to swim and there was a fire ring. That was over 20yrs ago.

    There are 4 sites, 3 have no separation between them, 1 is at the entrance, all are on the access road with 0 privacy.  This area is overused, and it shows, sites are warn in and if there was room relocating fire pits and allowing some nature to come back would be nice.  I managed to tuck myself into a private alcove of trees on the #1 site, but still was in full view of headlights and people driving in to see if there was space.  The site I had was big enough that I shared it with a couple that had a small child, and they had their own section. 

    There are no service, no water, no electricity, no to little cell coverage.  There is one pit toilet.  

    The access road in is rough, not for normal street cars.

    Did I mention lack of privacy?

    See pics.

    Dark sky enthusiast

    Stayed 5 nights mid August 23.

    stayed on primitive sites along Ellis river. very quiet and peaceful.

    As most campers know last summer was about as wet as it gets so

    mosquito population was a little bothersome. Camp fire wood was also 

    very damp. On the one night we saw clear sky I was amazed how a dark sky

    looks being from Boston area. we got chased out by rain a day early.

    Fast forward to 2024 with reservations for the same site for a week in mid July

     taking advantage of free day offer for 7 night stay. Bring my 8" HD celestron this time.

     Hoping for some clear night sky for some awesome seeing.

    oh ya Verizon worked well for me and they do have WIFI although weak in this area.

    Quick overnight

    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.

    Tight spaces

    The first thing that happened is you go over the train tracks to go to the office to register and you have to turn your rig around to go to Riverside which the sites are extremely small had a 42 foot fifth wheel and took me 15 minutes to get set so I could disconnect. good thing there was no one next to me on both sides so I had room to move around otherwise I would’ve never made it in there. The view is beautiful. The lake is pretty. They have seasonals set up on the lake and when we were there, they were pretty obnoxious and loud cursing every two seconds no one came around to check anything. They have a lot of rules, but they don’t enforce any of them. If you want to go to pull through you go on the other side of the camp where you have to climb a huge hill and then maneuver around to get into a pull through that’s only about 10 foot wide. So my suggestion would be if you have a small camper great if you have anything over 30 feet find somewhere else.

    Had a short weekend stay but we were impressed at how clean and well ran the campground was! Mo was welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed. The showers were hot and spacious.

    There are a number of nice campsites right on the lake, but even if you don’t have a waterfront site, there is a public boat launch. There is a dishwashing station, laundry facilities, showers, and bathrooms, all very clean. Perfect for fishing, hiking, and kayaking.

    Moose Brook State Park Campground

    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.
