Beach Camping Area
Overview
Beach Camping Area offers a unique combination of natural beauty and urban convenience in the White Mountains. Situated directly along the banks of the Saco River, this seasonal park provides a peaceful base for exploring one of New Hampshire's most popular resort towns. The property is characterized by its private sandy beaches, allowing guests to enjoy the water without leaving the campground grounds. It serves as a scenic gateway for those looking to balance outdoor recreation with modern amenities.
Location & Surroundings
The park is perfectly positioned in North Conway, NH, providing guests with easy access to both wilderness and commerce. The Settlers Green Outlet Village is within walking distance, making it a prime spot for tax-free shopping enthusiasts. Despite its proximity to the main thoroughfare, the campground maintains a tranquil atmosphere where the sound of the flowing river and the sight of Cathedral Ledge in the distance create a distinct mountain retreat feel.
Amenities & Park Features
Travelers will find well-maintained sites featuring water and electric hookups, with select sites offering sewer connections. The park’s standout feature is its direct access to the river. On-site facilities include:
- Private sandy beaches for swimming and relaxing.
- Direct access to the Saco River for tubing and canoeing adventures.
- A fully stocked camp store, clean bathhouses, and laundry facilities.
Families often congregate at the playground, while the spacious sites provide a comfortable environment for rigs of various sizes. The park also provides a convenient dump station for those on sites without full hookups.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Beyond the river, the surrounding area is packed with adventure. Visitors are just minutes from the Conway Scenic Railroad, offering nostalgic train rides through the valley. A short drive leads to the legendary Kancamagus Highway, famous for its stunning foliage and mountain overlooks. For those seeking higher altitudes, the Mount Washington Auto Road is nearby. Additionally, Echo Lake State Park offers excellent swimming and hiking opportunities just a few miles from the park gates.
Who This Park Is Best For
This destination is ideal for family vacationers who want a mix of river activities and local entertainment. It is particularly well-suited for RVers who enjoy being able to walk to restaurants and shops while still having a wooded riverside campsite to return to. If you prefer a location that bridges the gap between a rustic nature experience and a convenient home base for sightseeing in the White Mountains, this park is an excellent choice.

This was our first time staying at Eastern Slope and we enjoyed every second. The place was rather empty due to it being the end of the season which was great. I feel like if it were high season though, the sites may be a little too close for our liking. The staff was GREAT and the beaches were beautiful. The bathrooms were immaculate and large. Overall, this is one of our favorites spots we have stayed this year and our dog agrees. We are already starting to plan our next stay here for 2026.

Recently had our first stay at this campground. What stood out immediately was the friendly staff, exceptionally clean surroundings, and ideal proximity to the Saco River. Facilities were impeccably clean and recently updated. Camp site was sizable and sand-padded which made it roomy and comfortable. And everything was close to the shops and attractions in town. We would absolutely return to this campground for another stay. Thanks for making our first one memorable.

One of the best campgrounds we’ve been to in a long time! So much to do for all of us (3yrs-35yrs and a pup). Shower/bathroom facilities are clean and nicely private. All the staff are super friendly. Well organized, well kept camp grounds! We can’t wait to go back!

This was our second year visiting! It’s a great campground located close to north Conway shopping center! Our site right on the field was great for the kids to run around and play! The kids enjoyed floating the river as well as the pool! Bathrooms were clean. Dog friendly. We will definitely be back next year!

Eastern Slope Campground has a few positives, starting with the people. The staff were kind, helpful, and clearly care about the campground. The facilities were clean, and the river access was a nice touch on a hot day. That said, if you're hoping for a peaceful tent camping experience, this may not be the right fit. The campground felt more like a busy roadside stop than a quiet retreat. Car traffic was especially noticeable at night, with headlights shining through the trees and engines running late. Campfires often burned past midnight, and there didn’t seem to be much enforcement of quiet hours. In a tent, the noise and light are hard to ignore. A camper might make it more manageable. The playground was minimal, with just a few swings and a plastic slide better suited for a backyard. The pool is very small, and the firewood for sale was overpriced and had mold on it. Overall, my kids enjoyed the visit, and that’s what matters most. Still, we’ve camped at well over 100 different locations, and this one is not in our top 10. I’m not comparing it to resort-style campgrounds either, just standard family-friendly spots. This one fell short.
