  Private Field and Woods Camping

  The best holiday for the whole family

  Private Field and Woods Camping in New Hampshire is a true paradise for lovers of nature and secluded recreation. After spending several days here, I was delighted with the beauty of nature and the comfort that this unique camp offers. The first thing that catches your eye is the amazing landscape.

  Situated deep in the forests, the camp is surrounded by spacious fields and wild nature. Sunrises and sunsets at this place are a real miracle that makes you forget about the hustle and bustle of everyday life and enjoy the moment. The camp itself provides unique opportunities for close contact with nature.

  The opportunity to locate your tent camp in a private field surrounded by forest creates a unique atmosphere of comfort and privacy. The absence of city noise and light pollution allows you to enjoy the silence and sounds of nature. The camp infrastructure also deserves the highest praise. Ecologically built showers and toilets provide everything you need for a comfortable stay away from civilization. Fire pits and cooking areas allow you to enjoy delicious meals cooked outdoors.

  Private Field and Woods Camping in New Hampshire is the perfect place for those who want a real getaway in nature, far from the hustle and bustle of the city. I left this place with a feeling of complete relaxation and deep gratitude to the team who created this unique corner of nature.

  Lafayette Place Campground — Franconia Notch State Park

  Beautiful spot, but noisy

  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. There was a microburst over the campground the night I was there but the water drained down into the stream so I was not sleeping in a puddle. My site was in the row closest to the road where there was truck noise for much of the night. I recommend getting a site as far away from the road as possible.

  Lafayette Place Campground — Franconia Notch State Park

  Beautiful Campground

  Beautiful Campground near a stream. Has a nice store and giftshop, lots of spots for water fill up and two bathhouses so you're always close to one. Also close to tons of activities near White Mountains National Forest.

  Dry River Campground — Crawford Notch State Park

  Small but perfect!

  With very few sites, the Dry River Campground is one of our favorite places to camp.  The location is the White Mountain National Forest is spectacular and allows easy access to the trails.

  The rangers are friendly and helpful, but mostly leave you alone.  

  Facilities are basic but well maintained.  Hot showers are welcome after a long day on the trail!

  Sugarloaf 2 Campground

  Sugarloaf 2 NH

  Located in the White Mountain National forest near the town of Twin Mountain NH. Small campground suitable for tent camping and small trailers, class B and smaller class C. Reserve sites thru Reserve America. Several pit toilets, water sources. Sites are private and well spaced. Most were shaded but if you need sun for solar there are spots the will work. River runs near the campground. Lots of hiking trails nearby. Rivers nearby are stocked by NHF&G.

  Russell Pond Campground

  White Mountain Beauty

  Another amazing campground in the White Mountain National Forest. This is a very large campground with many sites and it fills up quickly in the summer season. You can reserve some sites while others(the super nice ones) are first come-first serve. There are a few sites that sit right on the pond but those are popular and you would be lucky to get one! Other sites are situated on knolls that require parking below and walking a few steps up to the site. So be prepared to possibly hike your gear a short distance. There are even some walk-in sites if you’re looking for a bit more seclusion and don’t mind a walk. 

  There is fishing allowed in the pond which is stocked in the early summer. I didn’t have any luck but you can fish from shore or launch a non-motorized canoe/kayak/john boat and try your luck. There are also a few trails you can explore around the pond and a swimming beach(no pets allowed). We were there in October so we didn’t take a dip. 

  Sites are nicely spaced and shaded. Fire pits are large and were clean upon our arrival. Large picnic tables are also a plus. Most sites have crushed gravel but there are some that appear to have more dirt, which might be less than ideal in a hard rain. There are well maintained restrooms and showers(coin operated) centrally located in each of the loops(of which there are many). The camp hosts are attentive and friendly. This is a great, inexpensive, well run Forest Service Campground in the White Mountains.

  Lakeside Pines Campground

  Beautiful waterfront campsite.

  We had a beautiful waterfront campsite (Site 113). The lake is gorgeous. Rocks make direct access to the water from the site difficult, but there is a beach for water access not too far away. The staff was extremely nice and helpful. The only cons: The sites are a little small and do not have any trees between them to shield you from those next to you. It appears that a majority of the tenants who were there during our visit were long term tenants so it has a bit of a different feel than some of the other campgrounds we’ve visited. Also, the road is tight so be prepared to drive close to trees. :) You’re within 30 minutes to White Mountain National Forest, which is gorgeous!

  White Mountains Camping on Little Larry Road

  Fabulous Front Backcountry Camping

  8 huge, beautiful campsites in the heavily wooded Evans Notch section of The White Mountains National Forest. It's easy to forget there are other people camping on other sites because they're so far apart. It's wonderfully relaxing and quiet. The only thing I regret not bringing with me is a table to put my camp stove on.
