Big Rock Campground is a small campground with 28 wooded sites situated immediately off the Kancamagus Highway in the White Mountains of New Hampshire.

Big Rock is a short 8 minute drive from the town of Lincoln, which offers many amenities for restocking groceries and supplies.

Big Rock was a small campground- we stayed at campsite #3, which had a long driveway and was unexpectedly private considering the proximity to other sites. There were several sites in the campground that offered ample privacy. Site #3 is very close to the bathroom but not so much that you lose privacy.

We did not have cellular service at Big Rock, but did have access to cell service in the town of Lincoln, 8 minutes away.

There was nothing particularly memorable about this campground and we did not stay there for an extended period of time, as we were just passing through. Our van fit well and the site was level. The highway is very close and therefore very loud, but it quiets down at night.

Campsite #3 is directly across from the big rock for which the campground is named, so this is a feature that kids might enjoy. The remaining sites mostly appeared to have decent privacy and ample space.

Though we did not have a chance to utilize them, the tent sites at Big Rock look to be exceptional, deeper into the woods and offer a view of the river, and are probably better than the RV sites.

There are 2 Big Rock Campgrounds in NH and they are very different! This is not the resort campground convenient to ATV trails, but a rustic campground offering large, level, wooded sites along the Kancamagus Highway just 2 miles east of the Lincoln Woods Visitor Center. It's a great location for exploring the sites and beautiful vistas along the Kancamagus, easy access to Franconia Notch and Lincoln, NH. Lincoln also offers a grocery store, restaurants, stores selling outdoor gear, moose tours, and adventure tours (zip/climbing).

Some of the sites are tent only, with parking separated from the tent pad/fire ring/picnic table. Others are large and level with ample space for RVs. You'll get some traffic noise, but there's less here than at places along 3 & 93.

There are no reservations; all sites are first-come, first serve and it's open from mid-May to mid-October. Bring cash or a check to pay for your campsite. It's self-service with an iron ranger. Fee (2018) is $22, an extra $5 for a second car.

Water is available. There are vault toilets and no showers. No cell phone service.
