White Mountain National Forest

Overview

There are 26 non-reservable wooded sites with gravel pads, fire rings, and picnic tables. A self-service pay system collects the fees on a first come, first serve basis.__ TIPS: * Allow no more than 8 people and 2 vehicles per site and keep all equipment (including tents, tables and motor vehicles) on the graveled area. This will minimize compaction, allow low vegetation to grow, and enhance privacy between sites. * Build all fires in the ring provided. ___Only YOU can prevent forest fires,___ says Smoky Bear. This will eliminate unsightly charcoal spots that soil camping equipment and clothing. * Observe quiet hours between 10 PM and 7 AM. Turn off audio devices during these times and play them at a reasonable volume at all other times. See the bulletin board for the rules about operating generators. * Gather only dead and down firewood.__

clean and quiet

Another well-maintained WMNF campground. While not too far off the road, it was very quiet. Sites were all cleaned, even though we arrived on Labor Day and it appeared most sites had just been vacated. No cell service, however the lady in the site across had one of those cell extenders and said she had 2 bars of 4G service. Oh, and the sites are definitely reserveable.

Large sites close to many hikes

This past week we stayed here as a family on site #9. Had 2 cars and a dog. Can’t beat the price at $20 a night. Some spots are first come first serve, others you can reserve in advance. We had quite the setup 2 tents , camping hammock, and a pop up tent to cover the picnic table. We were very cozy in this site with 4 people and our dog. The only downside I would say is this site is very shaded. I think throughout there was only a few sites that stayed in the sun throughout the later afternoon. So it does get a little chilly. Sites are relatively spread out so they do offer some privacy and you don’t feel too close to the neighbors. Vault toilets and a pump for water every so often. Basic amenities but it was perfect for us and relatively close to all the hikes we wanted to do. Definitely would come back.

Sweet and simple

Camped here as a family of four (two teens) and started off at site #11 which we thought was FF, but turned out to be reserved for nights 2-4 so with the help of the kind caretaker we found another site (#15) for the remainder of our stay. Cute place, mostly quiet and very clean. Positive vibe. Showers of any kind would earn it five stars.

quiet, large sites

I reviewed this campground last fall after visiting on the final day of the season, but I just had a chance to sty here during a peak summer weekend and have a few additional insights. Fees are now up to $20/night, still a bargain, but it comes with only the most basic amenities, i.e. vault toilets, running water at faucets, picnic tables and fire rings. Although the campground description indicates that the sites are first-come, first-served, this has changed and many of them are available online in advance. I didn't realize this and when i arrived late Friday afternoon I had 5 or 6 campsites to choose from that could accommodate my small teardrop camper; if I were tent camping, I'd have had a couple more sites available to me. The tent only sites require a short walk from the parking area.

When you arrive, each site will be labelled either Reserved or _Open. _ If it is Reserved, the dates it is reserved will be listed and they may not be contiguous. All the sites filled up Friday night.

I had site 24 which I liked. it was very large and level, with ample space for today's large tents. The water spigot was near the site next door. I could see my neighbors, but they didn't bother me. Every host site always seems to look messy with tarp-covered items and wood piles and site 24 will give you a view of the host site, but it's far enough away that you can ignore it.

If I were in a tent, I'd try for site 22. It's a walk-in site that includes 7-8 steps down, but it opens into a large open area and just a bit beyond there is a small brook, too.

The campground is just a few miles west of I-93 and the town of Woodstock. If you want to hike Mooselauke or the Kinsmans, the Appalachian Trail crosses 112 nearby. Lost River Gorge is nearby as are numerous tourist attractions/activities in Woodstock and Lincoln. Take some time to explore Cascade Park in Woodstock if you want to cool off in the river and lounge on the rocks (park on the street or in the lot that is north of 112 just before the traffic light at Rte 3 in Woodstock). While you're there, pick up ice cream at Coneheads; choose among numerous hard serve ice cream made on site (downstairs) or dozens of soft-serve flavors.

This side of 112 seems quieter than the stretch east of Lincoln. Noise level was quite low. Cell coverage is non-existent for several miles around here; you'll start to get a signal closer to Lost River Gorge in the direction of Woodstock.

Large sites, few amenities, convenient for hiking

Just a few miles from the AT and about 10 miles west of North Woodstock, convenient for heading up to Mt Moosilauke or up the Kinsman Ridge. Other activities in the area are Clark's Trading Post, Franconia Notch State Park, all the hikes and adventures along the Kanc.

There's potable water available and pit toilets. Sites are large and level, as they usually are in the White Mountain National Forest campgrounds. Some of them are better suited to tents than trailers/RVs.

Sites are first-come, first served, and because it's on a less-traveled stretch of 112, I suspect it fills later than other campgrounds. Cell phone coverage is poor to absent. You can hear some road traffic, but not as much as other campgrounds in the Woodstock/Lincoln/Franconia area. Fees were only $18 summer of 2018; an extra car was $5 more. Campground is open May-October, closing at noon on Columbus Day.

wonderfully quiet

This is a great spot away from crowds. Good location for hiking, and short drive to Lincoln, NH.

Sites are nicely wooded and not on top of you neighbor. Camp hosts are very friendly. Facilities are only compost toilets and potable water. Dog friendly

Amazing.

I have been camping at this campground for almost 10 years once a year. The hosts are amazing and we have never had a problem with them. The sites are clean and some even have river access. The fee is reasonable and the sights are breathtaking.
