This whole area is bursting with things to do and this is a nice place to stay while exploring the region. There are no RVs allowed here, some sites are along the river. It’s very clean, well-cared for, very wooded, but pretty basic (as we like it!). Make reservations if possible. Some of the camp sites are a little small or close. The caretaker was exceptionally friendly and recommended some hikes that met our needs perfectly.

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!

if you like summer crowds and natur trails this would be the place for you oh if you love the mountains this is defenitly the place for you

Lafayette campground was perfect in the woods, the camp sites perfectly spaced out to not hear your neighbors at night. The hikes were spectacular with an amazing view for a prize. Besides the Bears that may come and visit, which they usually don't, this campground was fun and exciting with a mountain shop to sum it up

Nice campground and close to some good hikes. Our site was nestled in the woods and it was much better than our other night spent in the park. There was a bear problem while we were there but otherwise a well kept campground.
