The White Mountains stretch quite some distance. While the Presidential peaks are often considered the jewel of this range, I find the Franconia Ridge just as beautiful and stunning. From this location you can head up the ridge or toward Lonesome Lake, where you will find AMC run huts once up a bit higher.

This is a great valley spot that gives you access to several New Hampshire gems. The Pemigewasset River is beautiful and provides an easily accessible destination for the less adventurous. So whether it's 4,000 footers, pristine wilderness or a wild river, this campground provides access to all of these.

Other spots to explore while you're in the area include the historic Old Man in the Mountain site (even though he isn't there any more), The Basin, Kinsman Falls and The Flume Gorge!

This is a popular spot in the summer to book your spot well in advance!
