Live like a local less than 12 minutes from Franconia Notch.
Our site is just up the road from some of the most famous hikes, overlooks, swimming holes, formations, and ski resorts in New England—and 25 minutes from the Kancamagus Highway, connecting the eastern and western White Mountains and counted among the most scenic drives in America.
You will never run out of things to do in any season or weather. This site is less than 15 minutes from Cannon Mountain, Echo Lake Beach, Profile Lake, Mt. Lafayette, and less than 25 minutes from Flume Gorge, Clark's Trading Post, the seasonal Ice Castles, downtown Lincoln, the Hobo Railroad,
North Woodstock, Loon Mountain, Bretton Woods, Mt. Washington, the Cog Railway, and so much more.
Our 5-acre forest features just a single private campsite, with a huge tenting platform, granite fire pit, and a rocky creek passing right by the site. From the two-car parking area, a 200-ft. trail winds through the woods, over a wooden stream crossing, and ends at the site itself set far back from the road.
Modern conveniences are also close by. It's 5 minutes to the nearest grocery / convenience store, 5 minutes to Rek-Lis Brewing, 4 minutes to Super Secret Ice Cream (James Beard Award nominee), 13 minutes to Polly's Pancake Parlor (our favorite) and countless other restaurants. 17 minutes to the nearest medical facility.
Other Notes and Important Things:
- Please pack out all trash. Cleaners are in high demand in this region and we will have to charge a steep retroactive cleaning fee if any trash is left at the site.
- Likewise please let us know ASAP if trash is present when you arrive.
- The tenting platform is 12 ft. wide on its narrowest edge. It's flat and dry, but there are no anchor points for stakes or lines. Freestanding tents are best, or you may want to pack extra-long guy lines.
- Don't forget the bug spray, especially in Summer! That goes for all campsites in the White Mountains, especially creekside ones like ours.
- A portable toilet with privacy tent is available at the back of the site. Please use the provided trash bags as liners and pack them out if used. Odor-absorbing pine shavings are provided.
- Please observe quiet hours between 9PM and 9AM everyday.
- Cell coverage is surprisingly strong here. You should have direct 4G
LTE access on Verizon and AT&T, and 4G extended coverage on T-Mobile / Sprint.
- You may want to pack a wood splitting axe. Feel free to burn any dead, fallen, or cut wood on the premises, but all firewood must be less than 5 inches in diameter.Live like a local less than 12 minutes from Franconia Notch.

The land was beautiful and spacious! Unfortunately it rained on us our whole stay so we didn’t get to enjoy the fire pit . Make sure you wear decent shoes to trek through the path because there are some roots and rocks.

Very easy to get to! My family and I were only here for one night but it was so nice. Fall colors all around and the perfect stop on our New England road trip. The parking was not bad. We had a Camry and Corolla and were able to park with no issues. Worth the price and the host was easy to communicate with. You should definitely book!

Very peaceful stay, the tent platform is in great shape and the forest was a nice get away. Recommend going to Rek Lis brewing that’s really close by too. Really cool small town.

This site was easy to get to, was tidy with nice amenities, but felt so remote! Would definitely love to camp here again!
