Great Campground
Friendly staff and good facilities. A little bit less privacy compared to other campsites in the area.
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.
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.
