RESERVATIONS: 1-877-444-6777 or make on-line reservation

DIRECTIONS:
In Campton, NH, at intersection of State Rt. 49 and I-75, take 
Rt 49 one mile to campground on left

GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 600 ft.

The campground, near Campton Pond and about 2.5 miles from Pemigewasset 
River, is composed of two large unnamed loops with lots of shade from 
a pleasant mix of deciduous and conifer trees.  A large grassy field 
between the two loops is great for games such as frisbee catch and touch 
football.  Although the loops are similar, the loop on the left of the 
campground's entrance appears to have more deciduous trees and less shade 
while the right-hand loop has more big White pines.  Both loops have good 
to fair privacy and pine needle ground cover.  There is some traffic noise 
which can be distracting.  A nature program is held on Saturday nights 
during the summer.

This is bear country; practice safe storage techniques.

NOTE:  State Rt.  113, Evans Notch Rd., was originally built by the 
Civilian Conservation Corp (CCC) in 1936 and, while scenic, is narrow 
and winding.

GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 600 feet.

This pretty campground is a single loop with, among other campsites, 
two walk-in tent sites.  The campsites are tucked in among conifers 
that provide ample shade and fair privacy.  A grassy meadow inside the 
loop provides a nice area for games or extra tents.  The campground 
has a tear-drop shaped interior road making a second pass for 
recreational vehicles difficult.  An attractive covered pavilion gives 
the campground a little extra character.  Fishing is nearby in Evans 
Brook.  Also close by is the Caribou Speckled Mountain Wilderness that 
offers an extensive network of hiking trails.

NOTE:  Two points of interest from campground are: (1) Brickett Place 
that is on the National Registry of Historic Places and about 0.3 miles 
north of campground off State Rt. 113 and (2) a blind for viewing moose

NEAREST CITY/TOWN: Conway

RESERVATIONS: 1-877-444-6777 or make on-line reservation

DIRECTIONS:
In Conway, NH, at the intersection of State Rts. 16, 113 and 112, 
take Rt. 112 (Kancamagus Highway) west for 6 miles to campground 
sign.  Make a tight right turn at sign and go 0.4 miles, through a 
covered bridge, to the campground on left.

NOTE:  The covered bridge has a height restriction of 7'9".

GENERAL COMMENTS:
TElevation is 700 ft.

The campground, one of six along the Kancamagus Highway, is located in an 
old established woods - many large hardwood trees.  It is composed of two 
overlapping loops and a spur paralleling Rt. 112 (the Kancamagus Highway) 
with the Swift River in between.  The old woods are mostly conifers with a 
scattering of deciduous trees which should make the campground attractive 
during fall foliage.  The heavy woods provide ample shade but the limited 
middlestory gives only fair privacy between campsites.  The Swift River is 
not available directly from the campground but can be accessed using "beater" 
trails scattered around the campground.  One example is from Site 33.  
Natural and cultural history programs are offered at the nearby Russell-Colbath 
Historic site Saturdays during July and August.

This is bear country; practice safe food storage techniques.

STATE: New Hampshire

REGION: Eastern

RANGER DISTRICT: Androscoggin

NEAREST CITY/TOWN: Gorham

RESERVATIONS: No

DIRECTIONS:
In Gorham, NH, at intersection of US Rt.2 and State Rt. 16, take 
Rt. 16 south 4.4 miles to a campground sign.  Turn right at sign 
onto Dolly Copp Rd. and go 0.3 miles to another campground sign.  
Turn left at this sign onto Campground Rd. and go 0.1 miles to 
campground entrance.

GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 1,200 ft..

The campground is one of the largest in the Forest Service.  It stretches 
along the western bank of Peabody River and has eight sections.  Some 
sections have overlapping loops while others reach into the mixed hardwood 
forest.  

Big Meadow, Little Meadow and the Hayes Field sections can accommodate 
both recreation vehicles (RV) and tents at the same time.  Sites in Big 
Meadow and Little Meadow are tucked into a lush forest that covers fields 
farmed a hundred years ago.  The campsites in Hayes Field, particularly 
along Hayes Field Drive and Midway Lane, are located on a wide groomed 
grass field.  These sites have little shade and incredible views of the 
surrounding mountains.  Some campsites along Riverside Lane are adjacent 
to the Peabody River but vegetation impedes views and access.  Other 
campsites, along Imp View, Birch Lane and Homestead Lane are beside small 
"feeder" brooks which flow only after a rain.  Culhane Brook bisects the 
campground and separates Little Meadow from Hayes Field.  Except for 
campsites at Birch Land and Midway Lane, that are all in an open field, 
a thick middle-story provides good privacy to the campsites.

Across Campground Rd. from the Big Meadow, Little Meadow and Hayes Field 
sections are the tent-only sections.  These sections, named Spruce Woods, 
Brook Loop, High Woods, High Fields, End Loop, and Birch Lane, are 
restricted to tent-only campsites tucked into a dense stand of older mixed 
hardwoods including towering Paper birch, Maple, and Hemlock.  There are 
some seclude walk-in campsites.  The understory in these sections is a 
lush variety of fern and other low growing plants with a dense middle-story 
providing excellent privacy.      

There is an amphitheater and nature programs on the weekends July through 
Labor Day.  Possible day trips from the campground are the Mt. Washington 
Auto Route, Cog Train, a visit to the Androscoggin Ranger District office 
for its displays and Kid's Corner, the Appalachian Mountain Club's Pinkham 
Notch Visitor Center, and a number of outstanding hiking trails.

NOTE:  This is bear country;  practise safe food storage techniques.

The campground is composed of one large loop and a spur dedicated to walk-in 
tent campers along the East Branch of Pemigewasset River.   The campsites are 
tucked in among a dense forest of maple, birch, ash and other deciduous trees, 
suggesting fabulous Fall color.  The forest floor is covered with ferns, 
blueberry bushes, grass and other low growing plants.  Shade and privacy are 
excellent for the loop campsites.  The walk-in tent sites overlook the river 
and, while there is adequate shade, privacy is only good.  Upper Lady's Bath, 
a nearby swimming hole, is a major attraction. Firewood is available for a fee.  
Lincoln offers a variety of activities and a cook's night out.

The campground, within walking distance of both the Wild River and Evans Brook, 
is a single loop in a mixed hardwood forest.  Thinning of sick trees has reduced 
shade for all campsites.  The smaller young trees and middle-story vegetation 
between campsites provide good to excellent privacy.  Campsite have a groomed

DIRECTIONS:
In Conway, NH, at the intersection of State Rts. 16/113 and 112

GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 1,200 feet.

The campground is located along State Rt. 112 (Scenic Kancamagus 
Highway) but traffic noise is minimal.  The campground has two 
loops and a tent-only spur.  This spur can also accommodate small 
recreational vehicles and pick-up trucks with campers (slide-ins).  
The second loop, furthest from the campground's entrance, is 
closest to the river but the heavy vegetation limits views.  A 
couple of camper-made (beater) trails provide access to the river 
and a rocky wadding beach.  A variety of pine provides ample shade 
to all the campsites and the numerous deciduous trees suggest lots 
of fall color.  A lack of middlestory and the closeness of campsites 
provide only fair privacy.  There is a nature program during summer 
months.  The nearby Russell-Colbath National Historic Place, an 1830 
homestead which is staffed during summer months, offers a variety of 
living history demonstrations.  Firewood is available for a fee.

This is bear country;  practice safe food storage technique.

DIRECTIONS:

GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 1,300 feet.

Very pretty and popular, this campground, located off Rt.112, has 
two overlapping loops in a stand of mixed conifers and deciduous 
hardwoods including Maple and birch.  Moss, ferns and pine needles 
provide a lush ground cover.  While towering trees offer ample shade 
to most campsites, limited middlestory results in fair to good 
privacy.  The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) built the picnic 
pavilion across the road in the 1930s where Mt. Moosilauke can be 
seen.  Traffic noise is minimal.  The Wild Ammonoosuc River runs next 
to the picnic area and across the road from the campground and
