Stayed here with a few friends. Not much of note, quiet. It is very close to conway and fun stuff up the kanc.
In an area full of private, season-long, and RV-centric campgrounds, this is a true gem for tent campers. Easy to find, close to the action of Conway/North Conway, hiking trails straight out of the campground, and spacious campsites all make this a great place to stay for a few days. The vault toilets are clean and well-located. Visited last summer (2017) and am already booked to go back again later this summer!
We were 4 families with 4 adjoining sites.We had plenty of room and tge campground was spotless.There was access to clean fresh water and a beautiful river which we swam and played in everyday.The nature was remarkably beautiful. We did plenty of hiking and exploring it was a trip we took every father's day weekend and the prices were very affordable. If you ever get the opportunity do yourself a favor and spend some time there you will have wonderful memories for the rest of your life.You may even become a frequent visitor.
We ended up here as a last resort before having to turn home. After getting a late start to our hike we didn't pull into our first campsite choice until 630. On a July saturday evening in the New Hampshire White Mountains, not a good thing. All 5 campgrounds on the kancamangus were full and we had to resort to White Ledge, about 6 miles past the kancamangus. Luckily there were a few sites left, and for good reason. The sites were decent enough and the facilities clean. However the proximity to the busy road was unfortunate. We could here cars the entire night which was a little annoying. Overall if you need to camp in a pinch because everything is busy it's not a bad option, just not the best.
Goal Zero Lighthouse 250 Review.
On the upside I got to try this awesome lantern that I won from TheDyrt last month! This lantern is perfect for car camping - a little too bulky for backpacking. Firstly, it seemed to hold a good charge throughout the entire time. It was also extremely bright and lite up the entire site for us. It had an option for a directional light which was good because we got there late and we're trying not to bug the site next to us. It was not as bright on the directional setting (kinda obvious) but still did the trick. It feels like it is going to be quite rugged and I love the stand it has on it. The ability to charge something with it is awesome, and to crank it if you lost a charge. Very interested to try both of these options in the future. The one thing I was disappointed with is there is no clip I could find to hang it from the tent. You can clip on the stand but it hangs lopsided, not a deal breaker by any means. Overall this is a great lantern and would definitely recommend it! Thanks Dyrt!
