Passaconaway Campground

    I have enjoyed the times camping are Passaconway.

   Our families have been camping here for well over 20 plus years. Red and Lillian were great hosts, and keep place clean always.

    There is new hosts this year, Lisa and Paul really nice people and very friendly. Very helpful knowing area  well and trails to hike. 

     Couldn't ask for better host, other than Red and Lillian.

     The bathrooms are cleaned everyday and even pleasing air freshers inside.

    The only thing was they closed a few campgrounds along river.

    And we always camped along river, now we can't. Hopefully they open ask them back up next year.

   Everyone camping were very respectfully even at quite time.

   I would recommend this campground, look forward to many more years of camping there.

Passaconaway campground has very spacious sites. They seemed well taken care of, raked out, fire pits cleaned. Bathrooms cleaned very well daily. The new hosts this year were very nice and helpful. They even brought wood that you bought to your site if it was a walk from there site #21.

This was my favorite campground in the Whites fir a long time, but the management company changed and the hosts are far from warm and/or helpful which impacted our stay. The bathrooms are atrocious and I mean they are really, really bad!

Passaconaway is a smaller campground, having only 33 sites.  Interestingly enough, sites 1- 4 are walk-in sites, so there is a community parking area and then you walk to your site.  Each site has a picnic table and firepit , spigots are located throughout the campground and site 21 has your firewood for sale ($8 per bundle).  No cell service...AT ALL.  

We liked this campground because it was close to the Sugar Hill scenic view and it has MANY old mature trees.  There were also quite a mix of campers.  Tent campers, a few RV's, hammocks and several rooftop tents were in our loop.  There was no shower :( but with the proximity to great hiking, we could rinse off in the creek!

Pets are allowed on leashes, campsites available on first come, first serve basis. Fees are posted at the entrance of Passaconaway campground. You have to pay by cash or check in an envelope, you get a slip of paper to leave on your dashboard. There are 33 sites.

We only stayed two nights. Not the kind of site I'd spend a week at but I am sort of particular. Nice sites, just too close together for my comfort and privacy. They were selling camp wood for $5-8. Not much around if you're a firewood forager. Picked pretty clean by the multitudes.

Areas were medium sized, see my photos. Nice and flat. No worries when setting up the tent. Restrooms were decent, and there was a water hand pump which I liked. It's really close to Sabbaday Falls which is a nice day trip.

Had fun camping here. Clean place and very quiet. The Kangamangus highway is very pretty in the fall, and North Conway isnt too far away. I enjoyed the short hike up Hedgehog mt which is pretty much right across the road.

Me and my daughter went up here to camp and swim in the Swift river. The campground was clean and fairly secluded, with plenty of room between sites for privacy. I only gave the campground 4 stars because the campground is so close to the Kancamagus Highway that you can hear cars and bikes through most of the night. It was nice being able to walk down to the river to do a little wading and swimming for the 5 year old. Be sure to get there early in the day because it fills up quickly, we arrived at 1030 on a Saturday morning during the summer and found a spot but by noon they had put up the full sign out front. We will being going back because its so close to alot of nice trails in the WMNF.
