Campsite was not clean from prior campers. It was good distance between sites. Quiet. Absolutely no cell reception. But my main complaint was the stairs. Some sites including mine had stairs. A lot. And they were slanted and very sandy very difficult to carry things up and down constantly when you can’t keep anything up there luckily we are not too old and could manage but good luck to anyone who goes there not knowing about the stairs, who are old or handicapped. Or out of shape. Other than that, it’s a good place to just set up a tent go about your day and just come back and sleep. Will I be coming back to this one? Sorry no I will not.

A great place to stay in the White Mountains. The campsite was quiet and well kept. The outhouses were clean, and the staff were nice and helpful. Will definitely be staying here again!

We weren't able to make it this year. But this had been our favorite spot to camp for 3 years now. Everyone is respectful, the camp is always clean. When we have gotten stuck in more rain they helped us with providing a tarp and some help. It's such a peaceful camp very little noise from the roads and just the perfect place to just forget about the world. 🥰
