Very warm welcome at notch hostel. Directions were clear. Hadn't camped at a hostel before but there were many perks -- hot shower, coffee in the morning. Backyard had a firepit and garden. Would recommend booking directly from their website to avoid additional $$

Bustling hostel serving mostly AT through hookers, at least the weekend I was there. Really well run, friendly/helpful staff, clean and accessable amenities. Absolutely would stay again!

Warm, inviting, peaceful

The Notch was great! First & importantly, I’m a black solo female camper and I felt very safe and welcomed. Arriving was a little confusing, it was busy and I couldn’t distinguish which door to use or who was staff and who was patron. There is a shuttle for thru-hikers and I arrived right at drop off and pick up time, but once I found someone I was pleasantly greeted and shown around. The camping area was very cozy. Each site has a picnic table and fire ring. Plus there is a group campfire area. It is a backyard type set up so if you want privacy it’s not exactly that. I could hear other campers cough at night and I’m sure they heard me snore. However, it’s beautiful and clean and use of the common areas in the hostel make it worth it. Plus other than normal sleeping noises it’s extremely quiet and peaceful. The bathrooms and showers are pristine! I enjoyed use of the kitchen, cooking can be a lot when camping. Since I was on a month long journey, campsite dishwashing can get old. It was nice to have a kitchen. I can be a bit shy, but I enjoyed reading in the book nook and was greeted by such kind ppl I actually held a conversation! It was very busy the days I stayed, it’s right around the time that many on the Appalachian Trail hit New Hampshire, so many thru-hikers were coming and going. I wanted to day hike the White Mountain National Forest and this was a great location to hit trailheads. The staff was warm and welcoming. I would definitely recommend and return.
