Great stay!

We had a large group and a site right on the river. Sites are small but you can fit comfortably. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Great place to stay fun activities to do on the river, can’t stress how much fun we had. Definitely would love to come back again!

Great Location, Heavy Use

Blink and you'll miss this campground! It's just down the road from Umbagog State Park in Eroll, New Hampshire. Situated right on the Androscoggin River this small stretch of Class II whitewater is popular with all the area rafting companies. So if you find yourself here in the summer months, be prepared to be inundated with a multitude of people of all ages floating through the froth in all types of vessels. The campground is also the thoroughfare for foot traffic of these companies looking to run the stretch of bubbly more than once. Just be prepared.

There is a small office right on the road and the staff are super friendly. The campsites are along a dirt road right along the water. The northern most site is right next to a public boat launch. While it does experience a lot of traffic (people, boats, cars, and USGS Hydro employees) it is the nicest site at the campground. There is a nice grassy patch, picnic table and fire ring. An outhouse is a short walk down the dirt road. The road can get rutted and be very muddy, full of puddles and buggy (another reason I like the site farthest from the office).

If you are paddling along the Northern Forest Canoe Trail (check out: https://www.northernforestcanoetrail.org for more information) this is a nice spot to spend a night or two. There is a large local sporting goods store, L.L. Cote, just down from the campground. Here you can re-stock on all your camping supplies, groceries and even scarf down some pizza and ice cream! It's definitely within walking distance of the campground.

Several large groups book nights here so be sure to call ahead if you want to stay.
