This little remote camping area is right off highway 302 between Bartlett, NH and Crawford Notch. The parking area is a decent size and popular for day users wanting to get a little taste of the Sacco River. The campsites, of which there are 8 of, are a short¼ mile walk from the parking area. I would suggest packing in a manner that allows you to get your things from your car to the site easily and with the fewest trips possible. Despite its proximity to the road, the campground is quiet.
Sites are situated just off the Sacco River and river access is easy, with multiple rocky beaches in between the sites and river. The water is clear and cold, refreshing on a warm day.
There is a composting Clivus toilet that was quite clean and stocked with toilet paper. However, the door doesn’t lock so just know that. Sites have picnic tables and fire rings as well. Some have designated tent cribbing while others just have open flat space for tents. There is no potable water available here, so be prepared to treat(filter, boil, chemical, etc.) or carry in enough water for your stay.
One thing to note about the layout of the sites: sites 1 and 2 are situated one behind the other so you have to walk through one site to get to the other. Sites 3, 4, 5 and 6 are all independently situated while 7 and 8 are also slightly stacked. However, you can get to 7 without walking through site 8.
