Great Spot!

This is an old style campground which we love. Pit toilets are clean and stocked. Campground was very quiet even though most sites were occupied. Great hiking nearby as well as some shorter hiking trails straight out from the campground. We would definitely stay there again!

Sugarloaf 2 NH

Located in the White Mountain National forest near the town of Twin Mountain NH. Small campground suitable for tent camping and small trailers, class B and smaller class C. Reserve sites thru Reserve America. Several pit toilets, water sources. Sites are private and well spaced. Most were shaded but if you need sun for solar there are spots the will work. River runs near the campground. Lots of hiking trails nearby. Rivers nearby are stocked by NHF&G.

Quiet WMNF campground

Another quiet and clean WMNF campground. The host was hard to catch, I think she was covering all three campgrounds in the area. Vault toilets were clean, and there's several new water spigots throughout the loop, replacing the hold hand pump for drinking water. Very nice. No cell service, but if you need it I had ample (Verizon) service at the bottom of the hill by Rte. 302.

Another rustic campground great as a hiking base, more RV sites than SL1

For site selection, sites 22-26 border Zealand Rd, so you will hear the traffic heading to and from the Zeland and Sugarloaf trailheads. Tent only sites have tent/campfire areas that are a few steps up or down from the parking area. All sites are large and relatively level. This side has a large open area in the middle, great for playing games, running around, and stargazing (though the tall trees will limit the scope of your view). More of these sites are suitable for an RV than the ones at Sugarloaf 1.

As I noted in my review of Sugarloaf I, you won’t have cell service, but you’ll be in a prime location for hitting the trail early, whether you want to head up to Zealand, Hale, or over to Mt Washington. The Mt Washington Cog Railway and Bretton Woods are also just a few miles down the road.

For a short, family-friendly hike, you’ll find the trail to the Sugarloaf Mountains just after Sugarloaf II. There’s a small parking lot just before the Zealand River crossing and the trail is on the far side of the bridge. It hits a saddle and you can bag both middle and north sugarloaf in turn. Venture to the end of the road and you can catch the road to Zealand Falls and Hut, a nice place for a picnic. In addition to Zealand, longer more strenuous nearby hikes include Garfield, Galehead, Twins, Washington, Monroe, Eisenhower and more. WMNF trailhead parking is $3/day or you can buy a weekly pass at forest service and other locations; your annual National Parks pass covers parking, too.

Zealand Rd is closed during the winter, opening in the spring only after mud season has passed and the road is dried out. The campground opens after that, in late May and is open until Columbus Day. Print your reservations before you come.

For a shower, head south through Crawford Notch to Dry River Campground where there are coin-operated showers. If you are hiking or exploring in Franconia Notch, there are coin-op showers at Lafayette Place, too, but parking on weekends is a nightmare.

Fosters’ Crossroads in Twin Mountain and Bretton Woods Market and Deli are your closest spots for picking up snacks or forgotten items.

Another hidden gem sans flushing toilets

Secluded, quiet, decent sized sites. Feels like you are away from other campers even when full. Easy access to beautiful Zeacliff trails and sugarloaf mountains as well as easy access to what the white mountains have to offer.
