Many campgrounds require advance reservations, particularly during peak summer and fall foliage seasons. Winter access is limited, with Hancock Campground being one of the few year-round options in the broader area, though winter camping requires appropriate gear and preparation.

Proximity to hiking trails, ATV paths, and scenic drives through the White Mountains makes the area popular for outdoor enthusiasts. Some campgrounds feature terrain challenges, with one reviewer noting Moose Hillock's "very hilly terrain" that can be "difficult to navigate" for families with young children, suggesting site selection considerations when booking.

    Mount Ascutney State Park Campground

    Great state park

    This is a beautiful state park at the base of Mt ascutney. The campground is lovely. Forest Ed and beautiful fall colors in October. Good facilities. Friendly staff. Some noise from the interstate but not terrible. There is a 3.7 mile road that is extremely steep but paved, and goes to the summit of the mountain. Less than 1 mile hike from there to the observation tower. Great views. Lots of hiking trail trails.

    Quechee State Park Campground

    Great stop on any trip

    Clean, good facilities. Price has gone up to $38 a night. Got there close to the time the rangers left for the night, Nick was really kind to make sure I got situated before he left. Walking distance from the antique mall which is a stop everyone should make as well as good food and pizza right nearby. Great spot to stop at on any trip

    Gunstock Campground

    Great Spot

    Fairly extensive camp ground associated with Gunstock ski area on central New Hampshire. We arrived without a reservation a bit after the office closed, but Elena, the manager came out to let us in and allowed us to check in. She was great. Dogs must have proof of rabies vaccine. Very nice showers. Beautiful fall colors.

    Riverside Camping & RV Resort

    Impeccibly Maintained

    Easily one of the most well maintained sites we have visited. The host was attentive and gracious. Beautiful nature trails behind the campground. I found one that lead to a beach by the river, perfect for reading and relaxing.

    Jellystone Park™ Glen Ellis

    Read before booking

    PLEASE READ BEFORE GOING We went to Jellystone Park at in Glen NH. We originally booked from Sunday to thursday. We left on Tuesday due to several issues with the cabin that the office staff refused to fix. Issues we had was 1. Cabin was filthy and had bugs inside. 2. Stove top wasnt working. 3. Fridge smelled so bad I had to wash it with warm water and dish soap. 4. Our cabin reeked like cigarettes to the point I couldn't bath my kids because when the bathroom got steamy the smell got sooo bad. I tried to adress the issues and was told they had a no smoke policy so its not their issue if it smelled because they did their part in putting a policy down. For it being filthy I was told they trust their cleaner so it qas me that made it filthy..(attached is one picture that I have this is just the bathroom on our first day their. Everything was covered in dirt, sand and soo dusty and bugs everywhere). I first spoke to James who yelled and was saying ridiculous excuses as to why its ok. Then the manager(dont remember name but she was older and blonde hair) screamed at me while I had my 2 year old with me. I was telling her calmly and very nice my concerns to which she was yelling to get out of the office. Then I was threatened to have the cops called if I complained again. I lost alot of money I cant afford to loose. But most important I was want to make people aware. I told them the website should state these things to be fair cause if I knew this i wouldn't have paid since they said its normal for stoves not to work and its out of their controll if someone smokes in the cabin. They said no one would stay if they posted those things. I left litterally shaking and crying because I couldn't believe it. They are nice if you dont complain. Discusting customer service horrendous management. Will be reporting everywhere already let my friends know so they dont go next year.

Guide to Warren

Dispersed camping options near Warren, New Hampshire include several primitive sites along Tripoli Road in the White Mountain National Forest, offering a more rugged experience for those seeking seclusion. This 8-mile seasonal road between Waterville Valley and I-93 features roadside camping at established fire rings with varying privacy levels. The area typically opens in late May and closes in autumn, with a self-registration station located at the western entrance past Russell Pond Campground.

What to do

Hiking from camp: Tripoli Road provides direct access to numerous trails in the White Mountains. "Great access to tripyramid hikes. Somewhat isolated," notes one visitor, while another mentions, "Easy access to trailhead for Tecumseh Mountain." The area connects to multiple popular summit hikes without requiring additional driving.

Water activities: The Baker River offers fishing and swimming opportunities at several Warren NH campgrounds. At Pine Haven, campers enjoy riverside sites where "we had a nice tent site by the brook" and another visitor mentioned it was "a beautiful spot on the river." Some campgrounds also offer tubing with one camper noting, "We ended up tubing down the river one day."

Seasonal leaf viewing: Fall foliage draws crowds to Warren area camping spots, particularly in late September through early October. Russell Pond Campground offers prime viewing opportunities as one visitor discovered: "I got there on Thursday during the peak fall foliage season but I was able to snag a spot next to the pond. Waking up for a sunrise was never easier than this."

What campers like

River access: Many warren nh campgrounds feature waterfront sites that campers consistently rate highly. At Baker River Campground, one visitor shared, "We had site 10. It was very shaded, clean, private walkway to the river," while another noted, "Campground is giant which causes it to be very busy. Little to no activities for kiddos."

Privacy levels: Site seclusion varies widely across campgrounds near Warren. At Lost River Valley Campground, a camper observed, "The sites on the river look amazing. Unfortunately my tent is a little too big for some of those sites, but I could still hear the steam from my cabin/site." Tent-only areas often provide more separation between sites.

Night sky viewing: The limited light pollution around Warren creates excellent stargazing conditions. At Country Bumpkins Campground, campers appreciate the evening atmosphere with one noting, "The sky above is beautiful if you're in the north section or toward the river/middle area in the main section." On clear nights, the stars are visible from most campgrounds in the area.

What you should know

Seasonal limitations: Most Warren area campgrounds operate from mid-May through mid-October with limited winter options. Hancock Campground is one exception as it remains open year-round. One winter camper reported, "Stayed here for two nights in late December. Site #40 along the river was close to the bathroom yet had plenty of privacy from other sites. Water would have earned it five stars."

Cell reception: Many campgrounds in the Warren region have limited or no cellular connectivity. In the Wildwood Campground area, "Cell coverage is non-existent for several miles around here; you'll start to get a signal closer to Lost River Gorge in the direction of Woodstock." Plan communication needs accordingly before arrival.

Wildlife awareness: Bear activity requires proper food storage in the Warren area. At Tripoli Road camping area, "Following the July 4, 2019 holiday, the camping area was closed after bears visited campsites and got into food that was left in the open and not secured in vehicles or bear canisters." Some sites provide bear boxes, but campers should always follow proper storage protocols.

Tips for camping with families

Playground availability: Country Bumpkins Campground offers family-friendly amenities including "a small arcade game room, WiFi at each site and an outdoor play area for kids." Another visitor confirmed, "There is a small pond in the center with ducks and fish. A huge playground for the kids."

Terrain considerations: Campground layouts vary significantly in the White Mountains region. Some sites feature challenging topography that can be difficult with young children. One campground reviewer noted, "Some sites are a bit cozy, but ask about sites together if camping in a group," suggesting families request specific areas when making reservations.

Swimming options: Several Warren campgrounds offer water features for children. Some have natural swimming areas in rivers while others maintain pools. At Wildwood Campground, families can find "a fabulous swimming hole. Clear, cold and deep just off the car camping area," providing refreshing summer recreation directly from camp.

Tips from RVers

Site selection: RV sites at Warren NH campgrounds vary in size and accessibility. White Mountain National Forest Wildwood Campground has limited options for larger vehicles as "Some of them are better suited to tents than trailers/RVs." Research site dimensions and leveling requirements before booking.

Hookup limitations: Full hookups are not available at all campgrounds in the Warren area, particularly at more rustic locations. At Tripoli Road, there are "no frills, first come, first served" sites without electricity or water connections. Plan accordingly with filled water tanks and sufficient battery power.

Road conditions: Some campgrounds near Warren feature challenging access roads. Seasonal closures and unpaved sections can restrict RV movement, especially for larger rigs. During wet conditions, some sites may become difficult to navigate. A visitor to one campground observed, "The road runs between the Waterville Valley area and I-93 exit 31. This is roadside camping, no frills, first come, first served."
