Reservable sites at Coleman State Park Campground run $35 to $195 per night, and the drive in deserves attention before arrival. GPS routing in this part of northern New Hampshire can send drivers onto dirt roads and ATV trails that passenger vehicles handle poorly in wet conditions, so checking route conditions ahead of time is worth the effort. The campground sits at the end of a dead-end road alongside Little Diamond Pond, with Coleman Lodges — Coleman State Park located just 0.3 miles south. Check-in happens at the Coleman Estates cabin office roughly 0.2 miles before the main campground entrance, not at the campground itself.
The layout is mostly open. Most sites sit in a large clearing with limited tree cover between them, though a few are tucked into the woods. Sites near the main road pick up ATV traffic noise, which reviewers consistently flag as the primary trade-off here. Cell service is essentially nonexistent, at least on Verizon. The facility building includes coin-operated showers and laundry, so bringing quarters matters. Kayak and paddle boat rentals are available on-site, and Little Diamond Pond draws anglers and wildlife watchers, with loons and bald eagles reported by multiple visitors.
The campground accommodates RVs up to 40 feet with electric, water, and sewer hookups, and a dump station is on-site. The mix of site types includes tent sites, lean-tos, and cabins. For anglers and those planning to explore campgrounds near Coleman State Park, this remote corner of Coos County gives access to some of the least-trafficked terrain in the state. If the north woods and a quiet pond fit your plans, this campground is worth a look.
Description
Coleman State Park lies on the shore of Little Diamond Pond in Stewartstown, twelve miles east of Colebrook in New Hampshire's remote north country. The excellent trout fishing in Little Diamond Pond and nearby streams makes Coleman an excellent location for fishing enthusiasts. A boat launch is located within the park; small boats are permitted, with a 10mph speed restriction. The park is also a good base for fall hunting. Other activities include hiking, canoeing, snowmobiling, cross country skiing and ATV riding.
