Excellent WMNF Campground

Russell Pond is a great campground (I'm shocked it doesn't have 5/5 rating!). The sites are huge and have a great amount of space between them. All of them have leveled areas for the picnic tables and tent pads. The bathrooms are clean and showers a hot(quarter operated, $2.50 for 5 minutes). Camp hosts were very knowledgeable and sell wood. The wood burned easily. The lake is quiet and was beautiful at sunset (it would be a great spot to Hammock). For peak season of leaf peepers I couldn’t believe how empty the campground was. I don’t think there’s a bad site in the entire place. Many of the sites have steps but the listing on the USFS site usually indicates so. This was an ideal location to hike Mt. Osceola the next day, then drive the Kancamagus Highway and camp at the other end of the White Mountain National Forest.
