Tubing and floating enthusiasts will find direct Saco River access at this North Conway campground, where campers can launch from the property and drift downstream. The facility operates from mid-May through mid-October and accommodates both RV and tent camping with full hookups available. Daniel S. notes the campground "sits on the saco river and offer swimming, canoeing, rope swinging and fishing depending on when you there."
Sites vary in size and spacing, with some reviewers mentioning closer configurations in certain areas. The campground provides shuttle service to upstream drop-off points for river floating. Multiple visitors report spending hours in the water during hot weather, taking advantage of the lazy river conditions. Activities on-site include disc golf, bike rentals, and a mining station for children near the front office.
The location puts campers within walking distance of North Conway's outlet shopping and provides access to White Mountain hiking trails. Reviewers consistently mention clean facilities and helpful staff, though one notes strict enforcement of campfire hours. For those exploring the broader region, campgrounds near North Conway offer additional options. Reservations are accepted and pets are welcome throughout the property.
