2 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Moose Brook State Park Campground and Milan Hill State Park Campground offer upscale glamping accommodations in the White Mountain region. While Moose Brook has well-maintained glamping sites among wooded areas, Milan Hill features distinctive yurts equipped with electricity and comfortable furnishings. Both locations provide glamping guests with amenities far beyond traditional camping, including proper beds, electricity, and climate control options for year-round comfort. "The sites are extremely private but you can hear your site neighbors if they're talking/laughing loudly," noted one visitor about Moose Brook. The Mountain Lake Camping Resort nearby also offers yurt accommodations with access to premium amenities including hot showers, electrical hookups, and well-maintained facilities that blend outdoor experiences with modern comforts.
At Jellystone Park Glen Ellis, glamping accommodations boast unique amenities including access to a swimming area and recreational facilities not typically found at standard campgrounds. The park's 305 sites include premium glamping options with electricity and comfortable furnishings. According to a camper, "We loved both times. The side we stayed at is more for larger campers and is much quieter than the larger side." Most glamping sites in the region remain open from May through October, with Milan Hill's season extending from May 12 to October 29. Visitors appreciate the proximity to White Mountain hiking trails, the Presidential Rail Trail, and Pondicherry wildlife preserve about 18 miles from Moose Brook. The area's glamping resorts provide ideal basecamp locations for exploring Mount Washington, accessible mountain biking terrain maintained by the local Coos Cycling Club, and the natural swimming holes with refreshing mountain water.
"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."
"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."

"Self check-in, no alcohol allowed and quiet hours start at 10:00 p.m. and fires out by 11:00 p.m. Who I believe to be the owners working in the store at the entrance were super friendly and helpful."
"The campground is located along the river, but not all sites have easy access to the river, making it something pretty to look at, but harder to get to. Sites are generally level with easy access."
from $38 - $50 / night
"There are a few picnic tables floating around and fire rings. One of the best things about this particular spot is that it is a highway leading into the Whites."
"Close to a lot of hiking trails and other areas. One main drawback close to the road so a decent amount of road noise. No Verizon and starlink was spotty."
from $20 / night
"Tent sites in the K row are near the road, so although you don't get much campground noise, you do hear road traffic."
"Great location and pretty central to Santa's Village, the Cog Railway, the Flume Gorge and Basin. Can walk to a general store down the street. Bath house was super clean and hot showers."
from $29 - $38 / night
"Located between the Ellis River and the Saco River, this campground offers so many fantastic amenities."

"Clean bathrooms and showers. Friendly staff. Store on site and close to Santa's Village"

from $28 - $39 / night
LegendThis is a great campground for families! Conveniently situated for skiing, climbing, hiking and leaf peeping. Amenities include; swimming pool, dog park, horseshoes, arcade, disc golf, basketball and more! They also have a propane fill station. As KOA’s go, you will pay for these amenities, but you get a lot of bang for your buck.
GuideCar camped Friday October 9, Columbus Day weekend, their last open weekend. CG was mostly full. Sites are too tightly packed for my liking and tent camping cost $38. Staff was neither friendly or unfriendly. Shower facilities were quite nice. Spacious with lots of room to shower and change without risk of getting clothes wet.
TravelerWe come to this campground every year to hike a few 4000+ mountains. Typically we come in the fall. There are several full hook up rv sites, some without sewer and several spots for RVs near the river. While the pizza shop (Celli's) is closed for renovations right now, we love their pizza and fries. The bathrooms are decent and there is hot water!
TravelerQuiet campground experience. Very cheerful staff member. Ice Cream shop is a bonus. We found a secluded spot without reservations. Monday evening. Some sites are tight for larger RVs but our Class B Camper Van fit fine.
GuideThis is one of our “go to” campgrounds when in NH. Super clean and good mountain biking.
TravelerPark is nestled in the woods with a lot of activities outdoors. Walking trails for people and dogs. Great laundry, bathrooms, office/store, cafe. The roads into the sites are tight but they guide you. We have a 30’ trailer and 20’ truck, I wouldn’t bring a trailer longer than 35’ in unless you are really good in tight spaces. Site 110 is a great pull thru.
TravelerLarge sites, clean pit toilets, in a beautiful, wooded campground adjacent to the Swift River.
Camp host, who’s been there for many years, keeps things clean, organized, and quiet.
Most sites can handle multiple big tents. Plenty of toilet houses and dumpsters available.
The great boulder loop trail is right there. It’s a very short walk to the trail head and it has gorgeous views of the swift river valley with much lower crowds than the major peaks in the whites.
Grab a drink and your chairs and take a short walk on one of the paths to the swift river and hang out a while.
GuideThis is out 2nd time here. Bathrooms, showers and laundry facilities are very clean and well maintained. Water sites are close together but the views are great. It’s very pleasant here.
GuideSeems clean and well-kept. Staff in the office are friendly and helpful.
White Mountain campgrounds near Randolph, New Hampshire offer camping options at elevations between 1,000 and 1,600 feet. The region experiences temperature fluctuations with summer nights dropping into the 40s even when daytime temperatures reach the 80s.

Riverside recreation: For water-based activities, the Saco River at Jellystone Park Glen Ellis offers swimming and tubing options. A visitor describes, "Located between the Ellis River and the Saco River, this campground offers so many fantastic amenities. One of the biggest ones that we took lots of advantage of is the swimming and tubing on the Saco River."

Family-friendly amenities: Twin Mountain Campground receives high marks for cleanliness and kid-appropriate facilities. "Awesome family spot.

Campground access variations: Some sites require advanced planning. At Jefferson Campground, a visitor cautions, "This place is a bit off the beaten path of White Mountain tourist areas but is still within easy drive to all the major attractions. We picked this spot for that exact reason."
Weather conditions: Prepare for temperature swings in this mountainous region. A Zealand Campground visitor advises, "Gets pretty cold here at night," making sleeping bags rated for temperatures 10-15 degrees below expected lows advisable.

Bath facilities: Clean bathrooms matter with children. A visitor to Twin Mountain Campground shares, "The riverfront sights looked absolutely beautiful and some had better/easier access to the water then others. We had our travel trailer and it was easy to get it in and out and the dump station was conveniently located on the way out as well as the dumpster for trash."
Site leveling considerations: Not all sites accommodate larger rigs. At Jefferson Campground, an RVer notes, "I originally chose a site that was a bit too small to properly unhook the trailer but staff helped me get a better location. Site 17 was too tight for 44 ft total length. Switched to site 5 pull through."
Hookup availability: Ammonoosuc Campground offers full hookups for extended stays. "Our site was clean, plenty big enough. We tented, but majority of sites were for RVs. Good mix of seasonal campers and daily," mentions a camper who appreciated the clean facilities.

There's also a laundry room with 4 washers and dryers if you need to clean up or dry out after a rough day on the trails."
